Whenever you walk past a cafe,you might be drawn in by the smell of freshly made coffee. But when you try this dark drink,you will regret it,b【1】it tastes like biter Chinese medicine.
Why does something s【2】so good,but taste so bad?Many people are curious (好奇)about this,but now scientists say they have f 【3】 the answer-it lies in our “second sense of smell,"according to the Telegraph.
"We have two senses of smell," explained Barmy Smith,professor of the University of London. “One is when you breathe in things from the environment,and the o【4】 is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed out through the nose. "
When we d【5】coffee,for example,the act of swallowing(香)sends a burst of(一阵)smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This w【6】 up the second sense of smell in our brain. But it is weaker and less sensitive to flavors(味道). As a result it gives us a completely d【7】feelings.
In fact,the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating e【8】 . It may be common a sense that we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue(舌头). But the truth is 80 percent of what we think of as taste actually r【9】 us through smell. Just hold your nose w【10】 eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch a very small part of the flavor.
【答案】
【1】because
【2】smell
【3】found
【4】other
【5】drink
【6】wakes
【7】different
【8】experience
【9】reaches

【解析】
当我们经过咖啡店的时候,会闻到咖啡的香味,但是我们尝起来时,发现咖啡是苦的。专家认为我们有两种嗅觉。一种是鼻子从环境中吸进东西的嗅觉,另一种是从鼻子里呼出东西的嗅觉。当我们吞咽的动作时,会从鼻子里发出一股来自嘴巴的味道。这会刺激我们大脑里的第二嗅觉,结果它给我们不一样的感觉。但是我们认为味道的80%实际上是通过嗅觉传达给我们的。当你吃东西的时候,捏住鼻子,你就会注意到你的舌头只能感觉到很少部分的味道。
【1】句意:但是当我们喝起来时,会感到很后悔,因为尝起来像我们中国的苦药。根据you will regret it,b___1___it tastes like biter Chinese medicine.可知,后悔的原因是咖啡像药一样很苦,故答案是because
【2】句意:为什么有些事物闻起来很好,但尝起来很糟糕呢?根据you might be drawn in by the smell of freshly made coffee.可知,上文用咖啡举例,所以是闻起来很好,助动词does后加动词原形,故答案是smell
【3】句意:很多人对此很好奇,但是现在科学家们找到了答案——它存在于我们的第二味觉。根据句子结构可知,这里是现在完成时用have+过去分词,结合句意是“找到”,故答案是found
【4】句意:一种是鼻子从环境中吸进东西的嗅觉,另一种是空气到了鼻子,然后从鼻子里呼出东西的嗅觉。根据We have two senses of smell可知,我们有两种嗅觉,两者中的另一个用the other,故答案是other
【5】句意:。例如,当我们喝咖啡时,会从鼻子里发出一股来自嘴巴的味道。根据句意可知,是喝咖啡时,做谓语,主语是we,用复数,故答案是drink
【6】句意:这唤醒了我们大脑中的第二嗅觉。根据句意可知,是唤醒了,主语是it,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故答案是wakes
【7】句意:结果是,它给了我们完全不同的感觉。根据But it is weaker and less sensitive to flavors(味道).可知,这会刺激我们大脑里的第二嗅觉,结果它给我们不一样的感觉。修饰名词feeling用形容词,故答案是different
【8】句意:事实上,第二嗅觉在我们吃东西的体验上发挥着重要作用。根据句意可知,是在吃东西的体验中,experience表示经验、体验,不可数,故答案是experience
【9】句意:但是我们认为味道的80%实际上是通过嗅觉传达给我们的。根据句意可知,表示“传达”,主语是taste,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故答案是reaches
【10】句意:当你吃东西的时候,捏住鼻子,你就会注意到你的舌头只能感觉到很少部分的味道。根据句意可知,表示“当……的时候”,故答案是while/when
while和when的区别
①when是at or during the time that, 既指时间点,也可指一段时间;
while是during the time that,只指一段时间,因此when引导的时间状语从句中的动词可以是终止性动词,也可以是延续性动词,而while从句中的动词必须是延续性动词。
②when 说明从句的动作和主句的动作可以是同时,也可以是先后发生;while 则强调主句的动作在从句动作的发生的过程中或主从句两个动作同时发生。
③由when引导的时间状语从句,主句用过去进行时,从句应用一般过去时;如果从句和主句的动作同时发生,两句都用过去进行时的时候,多用while引导,如:
a. When the teacher came in, we were talking.
当此句改变主从句的位置时,则为:
While we were talking, the teacher came in.
b. They were singing while we were dancing.
④when和while 还可作并列连词。when表示“在那时”;while表示“而,却”,表对照关系。如:
a. The children were running to move the bag of rice when they heard the sound of a motor bike.
孩子们正要跑过去搬开那袋米,这时他们听到了摩托车的声音。
b. He is strong while his brother is weak. 他长得很结实,而他弟弟却很瘦弱。
