What’s the first thing you notice when you step into a museum? Is it the long-faded colours of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see? 1 ＞＞ 词汇衔接 Some locations might even offer an edible treat inspired by an ancient recipe. Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past by tapping into our primary senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste. 2
“Representations of the past are often scentless(无气味的), but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities,” says Barbara Huber, an archaeologist in Germany. 3 ＞＞ 词汇衔接 She and her workmates tracked down some molecular(分子的) remains that can let us smell the past. Through trial and error, they created Scent of the Afterlife, a mix of scents that would have accompanied mummification processes in ancient Egypt.
“ 4 One of the reasons is that it is hard to study. The scents and smells in the past were already gone before archaeologists could come and investigate the sites,” says Huber. Luckily, new chemical and biomolecular methods in archaeology have kind of reopened the door to continue to study these things.
“These molecules that we detect can tell us a lot about ancient materials. At the same time, when we reconstruct(重现) them as we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today. 5 ” says Huber. “If you enter a room and can somehow smell how it must have smelled in a mummification room in ancient Egypt, you’re experiencing history in a different way. History isn’t something we only see.”
A. It can also enrich our understanding of smells,
B. However, more often than not, smell is missing.
C. This “aha moment” changed her idea of the research.
D. Smell has long been ignored(忽视) in studying the past.
E. The absence of scent in the study of history inspired her.
F. Maybe there’s a copy of a sculpture you can touch.
G. And the exhibit in the museum is not just a displayed object,

答案
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了传统博物馆主要通过视觉、听觉、触觉、味觉让人们感受历史，但缺少嗅觉。德国考古学家芭芭拉·胡贝尔受此启发，利用现代分子技术复原古代气味，通过嗅觉体验历史。
1. F 根据下文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past ... sight, hearing, touch, taste.”可知博物馆提供了视觉、听觉、触觉和味觉等感官体验，上文“Is it the long-faded colours of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see?和下文“Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe.”提及视觉，听觉和味觉，此处应与触觉有关；F项“或许有一件雕塑的复制品，你可以触摸。”符合语境。故选F。

2. B 根据上文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past ... sight, hearing, touch, taste.”和下文“Representations of the past are often scentless”可知博物馆提供了视觉、听觉、触觉和味觉等感官体验，但缺少嗅觉；B项“然而，通常情况下，气味是缺失的。”符合语境。故选B。
3. E 上文“Representations of the past are often scentless, but smell probably played a huge role in many historical realities”提及胡贝尔认为历史呈现中缺少气味，但气味很重要，下文“She and her workmates tracked down some molecular remains that can let us smell the past.”提及胡贝尔和同事开始还原气味，E项“历史研究中缺失的气味给了她灵感。”承上启下，点明胡贝尔做气味研究的动机。故选E。

4. D 下文“One of the reasons is that it is hard to study.”解释原因之一是研究气味很难，此处应提出结果，与下文构成因果关系，D项“气味在历史研究中被长期忽略。”符合语境。故选D。
5. G 上文“At the same time, when we reconstruct them as we did with Scent of the Afterlife, we can bring a piece of the past to visitors today.”提及还原气味能把过去带给游客，G项“博物馆里的展品不仅仅是一件陈列出来的物品。”表达了博物馆展品的深层含义，“And”和上文构成递进关系，呼应下文“you're experiencing the history in a different way”。故选G。
1. F 根据下文“Museums allow us to indirectly experience the past ... sight, hearing, touch, taste.”可知博物馆提供了视觉、听觉、触觉和味觉等感官体验，上文“Is it the long-faded colours of ancient artifacts or the sounds of visitors discussing what they see?和下文“Some locations might even offer an eatable treat inspired by an ancient recipe.”提及视觉，听觉和味觉，此处应与触觉有关；F项“或许有一件雕塑的复制品，你可以触摸。”符合语境。故选F。
