Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that.The gallery,at Sunderland University,England,is holding a new exhibition,If There Ever Was.It focuses on scent rather than sight.The innovative(创新的) idea is the brainchild of curator(馆长) Robert Blackson. His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation.The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes,making them smell and taste like strawberries,when they’re not actually made from them.A smell can often conjure up(召唤) memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea,but the smells on display,will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won’t have been able to pick out before.“There’s a whole variety of different smells,including some extinct flowers,” explains Blackson.“Some have been gone for hundreds of years.”One extraordinary fragrance(香气) is the aftermath(灾难的后果) of the first atomic bomb,dropped on Japan on August 6,1945.There is also the smell of Clepatra’s hair,based on incense(熏香) that was popular among ancient Egyptians.The Soviet Mir space station,which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001,smells of charred(烧焦的) material (the space station caught fire).Among the stranger smells is the“surface of the sun”.“It is hard to sum up.It is an atmospheric smell,like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in”says Blackson.“It gives a freshness,a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal.If you can say something smells hot,this is it.”A team of 11,including perfume designers,have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition.James Wong,a botanist atBotanic Gardens Conservation International,UK,helped in therecreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants.He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled,he was able to remix the aromas(芳香).The exhibition runs until June 6.Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display.64.What might be the best title of the passage?A.The Reg Vardy GalleryB.Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hairC.A visit to a new exhibitionD.The scents of ancient Egypt65.Visitors can enjoy all of the following scents at the Reg Vardy Gallery EXCEPT .A.the scent of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hairB.the smells of charred material of the Soviet Mir space stationC.the scent of having a childhood vacation by the seaD.the smell of the aftermath of the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan66.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Visitors go to Reg Vardy Gallery to enjoy beautiful sights.B.James Wong managed to remix the aromas by referring to some historical reports.C.The exhibition will last until July 6.D.The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra.67.In which session are you likely to read the passage in a newspaper?A.SciencecationC.EntertainmentD.EconomyDIf I had to select a word that best describes the majority of American parents,that word would be guilt-ridden.How sad it is to see pare nts become the willing victims of the“give-me game”,only to discover that,no matter what they do,it isn’t enough.In the end,they are looked down for their lack of firmness and blamed when their spoiled children get into trouble.With this in mind,I shall first answer this question“What do parents owe their children?”and Ishall start with what they don’t owe them.Parents don’t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.They don’t owe round-the-clock carservice,singing lessons,tennis lessons,an expensive car when they reach sixteen,or a trip to Europe when they graduate.I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education.If they can afford it,fine.But they must not feel guilty if they can’t.If the children really want to go,they’ll find a way.There are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who can’t afford to pay.After children marry,their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture.They do not have an obligation to baby-sit their grandchildren when the parents were on vacation.If they want to do it,it must be considered a favor,not an obligation.In my opinion,parents do not owe their children an inheritance,no matter how much money they have.One of the surest ways to produce a loafer is to let children know that their future is assured.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes,they owe them a great deal.One of their chief obligations is to give their children a sense of personal worth,for self-esteem is the basis of a good mental health.Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistentdiscipline.The parents who say“No”when other parentssay“Yes”sends a double message.He is also saying“I love you,and I am ready to risk your anger,because I don’t wa nt you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal belongings.If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on,the communication between them must bepretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which tobuild their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others;it means being respectful to elders,toteachers,and to the law.No child asks to be born.If you bring a life into the world,you owe the children something.And if you give him his due,he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.68.According to the author, .A.parents ought to send their children to college as a dutyB.parents needn’t feel guilty if they are unable to send their children to collegeC.if they say“No”,parents will surly make their children angryD.parents must support their children even after their marriage69.The underlined word“loafer”most probably refers to .A.a poorly educated personB.a well educated personC.a hard- working personD.a lazy person70.The author’s attitude towards the parents is .A.angryB.pitifulC.disappointedD.satisfi ed71.The writer of this passage mainly wants to tell us .A.why children look down upon their parentsB.the difference between duties of the parents and the childrenC.over devotion to the children results in trouble for the parents themselvesD.children should depend on no one but themselvesESport is not only physically challenging,but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches,parents,and other team-mates,as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员).Stress can be physical,emotional,or psychological,and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activitythat was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself.The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.Young athletes can,for example, learn how to cooperate with others,make friends,and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives.Coaches and parents should be aware,at all times,that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children.Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children.The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons.In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game,many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’performances.Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome.Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again,criticism can create high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.72.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletesis .A.to reduce their mental stressB.to increase their sense of successC.to make sports less competitiveD.to make sports more challenging.73.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes .A.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early developmentB.without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidenceC.in order to make them remember life’s lessonsD.so as to put more pressure on them74.According to the passage parents and coaches should. .A.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsB.help children to win every gameC.train children to cope with stressD.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports75.The author’s purpose in writing the pa ssage is .A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutB.to persuade young children not to worry about criticismC.to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to childrenD.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement第II卷Ⅴ.短文改错。
