B Summer brings flowers and dirt and barbeque smoke. In the most wintery places, there isn’t much outside on cold days except snow, strong wind and cars warming up. Pine needles (松针), wood smoke and snow --- these are the smells of winter, and for people who live with different seasons, wintery weather brings its own set of olfactory (嗅觉的) experiences. But why does the cold of winter smell different from the heat of summer? One reason is that odor molecules (气味分子) move much more slowly as the air temperature drops, said Pamela Dalton, an olfactory scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia. That means that there are simply fewer smells to smell on a cold, crisp day than there are on a hot and humid one. It’s the same reason why hot soup smells more than cold soup does and why the garbage truck leaves behind the strongest smells on steamy summer days. What’s more, our noses don’t work quite well when the surrounding air is cold, Dalton said. In experiments that require biopsies (活组ÿ检查 ) of olfactory receptors that lie deep inside the nose, researchers at Monell have discovered that the receptors <bury themselves a little more deeply in the nose in winter,= she said, <possibly as a protective response against cold, dry air.= <There is a strong psychological factor in our sense of smell,= Alan Hirsch, a neurologist and psychiatrist in Chicago, added, <and what we expect to smell has a big influence on what we actually smell.= In The Invalid’s Story by Mark Twain, for example, a man is stuck on a train next to what he thinks is a rotting (腐 烂的) dead body but is actually a box of cheese that smells extremely unpleasant. So strongly affected by the smell, he spends too long looking for fresh air on the freezing platform and develops a fever that ends up killing him. <What you think of a smell will have powerful effects on you whether you like it or whatever you think it to be,= Hirsch said. <So, if you go outside in winter and you are used to smelling snow or nuts in the fire or whatever you happen to smell outside, that’s what you will interpret smells to be.= To cope with lack of smells in winter, many people try to burn more candles with pleasant smells, cook more sweet stews (炖菜) and bake more cookies, which creates a greater contrast between indoor and outdoor environments. <You’re probably fond of indoor smells in winter,= Dalton said. <Doors are closed, and windows are closed. We concentrate on the smells of cooking and living.= 4. According to the second paragraph, Pamela Dalton will probably agree that ______. A. there are not many smells available to smell in winter B. garbage truck is easier to break down in cold winter C. hot soup is more popular with people in winter than cold soup D. hot temperature affects the direction in which smells spread greatly 5. The author used the story written by Mark Twain to show that ______. A. one can easily feel terrible smells in a small space B. no one can survive when there is lack of fresh air C. one’s mind and thoughts can affect his sense of smell D. one’s opinion on smells is quite different from others’ 6. Which of the following is NOT a measure people take to deal with lack of smells in winter? A. Closing windows. B. Cooking stews. C. Burning candles. D. Baking cookies. 7. How is the passage organized? (P: Paragraph) A. B. C. D. C The outstanding biography portrays (刻画) the life of the complicated Renaissance (文艺复兴) artist with details. We come to see da Vinci as not only an inventor of musical instruments and early flying machines, but also a notebook keeper and vegetarian, who had trouble finishing many of the projects and paintings he started. Yet what is most thrilling is getting to know da Vinci the scientist. Isaacson explains how loving science and applying the scientific method to observing the world was really what made da Vinci a great artist and, Isaacson argues, a genius. Da Vinci was fascinated with observing and understanding phenomena in nature. He wanted to know about everything around him, in minute detail, Isaacson writes. He wondered about questions <most people over the age of ten no longer puzzle about= --- for instance, how the tongue of a woodpecker works. To learn about the world, da Vinci combined his own observations with experimentation. Never formally schooled, <he preferred to induce (_纳) from experiments rather than deduce (è理) from theoretical principles.= Isaacson explains. He recorded his observations, looked for patterns among them, and then tested those patterns through additional observation and experimentation. When he became fascinated with the idea that he could invent flying machines, he observed various birds and filled notebooks with the function and speed at which their wings flapped. That’s why Isaacson calls da Vinci an exemplar of this scientific method. He goes on: <Galileo, born 112 years after Leonardo, is usually credited with being the first to develop this kind of approach and is often regarded as the father of modern science.= There can be no doubt that this honor would have been bestowed (赠P) on Leonardo da Vinci had he published his scientific writings during his lifetime. Da Vinci’s emphasis on empirical observation also helped him improve his art. First, he was able to use what he learned from looking at nature to paint and draw. His studies of the body, animals, motion, shadow and light, perspective and proportion helped him better understand what he was seeing in front of him, and render (表现) it in art more accurately and finely than anyone else of his time. Most importantly, his ability to connect art and science, helped him innovate in his work. Da Vinci made surprisingly diverse series of discoveries, including conceptualizing the helicopter and solar power and advancing knowledge about everything from the reproductive organs to botany. This genius is also what drew Isaacson to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs as subjects: They’re all innovators who were inspired by and drew connections between art and science. <Leonardo da Vinci is the ultimate example of the main theme of my previous biographies: how the ability to make connections across disciplines --- arts and sciences, humanities and technology --- is a key to innovation, imagination, and genius,= Isaacson writes. And this wonderful book is a reminder, in a time of increasingly narrow specialization and focus, that the methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci are as relevant as ever. 8. What is the highlight of da Vinci’s biography? A. His unfinished paintings. B. His preference for vegetables. C. His spirit of exploring science. D. His opposition to formal education. 9. Why does Isaacson mention Galileo in the book? A. To introduce his important findings in science. B. To illustrate the significance of da Vinci’s research method. C. To show the challenges faced by da Vinci during his lifetime. D. To memorize his contributions as the father of modern science. 10. Which of the following statements is true? A. Da Vinci improved his art and drew more accurately by painting mostly in the natural world. B. The methods of Renaissance men like da Vinci can still apply to contemporary scientific research. C. Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs are as famous as da Vinci for combining art with science. D. Da Vinci failed to publish his scientific writing because the scientific method was inaccessible at that time. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. How a Genius Changed the World B. The Features of Renaissance Art C. How Science Shaped His Art D. The Comparison between Art and Science 第二节ÿ共5小题Ā每小题2分，满分10分Ā 阅读Q面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可ï填入空白处的最佳选项2选项中p两项~多余选项2 Most of us look forward to the weekend as a time to relax, connect with friends and family, and deal with tasks from a to-do list that gets neglected during the workweek.
