Dutch cookbook writer Joke Boon suffers from anosmia — the inability to smell. She lost her sense of smell at the age of four. And although her tongue has kept its taste perception（感知）, the lack of smell means that she can only distinguish the five basic flavors — sweet, salty, bitter, sour, umami — as well as fat. Doctors say she has lost around 94%of her tasting perception.
Despite this, she has written five cookbooks. So how does someone without a sense of smell experience food For Boon, it's mainly with her brain — by employing a facial nerve.
"You know the feeling when you eat too much wasabi（芥末酱）at once " says Boon. "I use this nerve a lot to 'taste' my food. I can also feel ginger and pepper this way. "
The look of food is important, too. "Color is very important", she says. "I don't like white food because for me white equals no flavor. The texture（质地）and sound of food have big roles, too. A walnut makes a different sound than a hazelnut. "
"It's to do with the amount of fat — a hazelnut gives a hard sound, a walnut more of a soft sound. When you listen, you also hear the difference between a carrot and an apple. ".
Despite her condition, Boon has always liked to cook. "Food was very important during my childhood, "she says. "Even though I couldn't taste anything, I wanted to participate. I started experimenting when I was a student and began to write down my recipes（菜谱）. "
Boon's message for those who've lost their sense of smell: focus on stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, and taste with your brain and your intellect. Cook your own food, so you can decide what's in it. "Not being able to smell is unpleasant, "she admits. "But you can live a pleasant life if you know how. "
24. What does the underlined word “distinguish" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Tell. B. Enjoy. C. Smell. D. See.
25. What does Boon mainly rely on to experience food
A. The texture of food. B. The look of food.
C. The sound of food. D. A facial nerve.
26. What makes it possible for Boon to know the difference between a carrot and an apple
A. Their tastes are different. B. Their colors are different.
C. Their sounds are different. D. Their smells are different.
27. What does the text mainly talk about

B. How to enjoy life to its fullest.

An exhibition of Song Buyun's works is now running at the museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The exhibition will run through Feb 27.
These days, a long-awaited snowfall in Beijing easily creates a fanfare（轰动）online. One needn't go outside to feel people's excitement at a blanket of snow, as a glimpse of the photos and videos uploaded on social media will be enough.
Seventy years ago, however, while snow was common in Beijing, cameras were seldom to be seen; few were able to record the scenery of this historical city. One of the few was Song Buyun, the late oil painter and water-colorist who walked the streets and recorded the beauty of Beijing's centuries-old architecture.
Cultural landmarks frozen in time are displayed in Song's Beijing landscape series, picturing the peaceful atmosphere of the city's historical spots over the course of a year, such as Tiantan. He documented people visiting the Palace Museum, swimming in lakes and clearing snow off the streets.
Dying in 1992, Song didn't have a chance to show this body of work during his lifetime. It was eight years later that these paintings were made public for the first time at an exhibition held in his memory.
"Song's paintings show the harmony（和 谐） between architecture and its surroundings, "says Fan Di'an, dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. "The colors are vivid and arranged tastefully to give a refreshing look to these old bining skills of Chinese and Western art, his works preserve（保存）the varied landscape of a city, and under his brushwork, Song injected rich emotions, allowing his work to stand the test of time, "
28. What can we know about Song's works in the exhibition
A. They were made with the help of cameras.
B. They focus on Beijing's cultural landmarks.
C. They show people's hard life in Beijing decades ago.
D. They have drawn wide attention and good comments online.
29. When did the public first see the body of Song's Beijing landscape series
A. In 1951. B. In 1992. C. In 2000. D. In 2020.
30. What makes Song's works last long
A. The colors Song used were very special.
B. Some architecture and surroundings don't exist.
C. They are the only way to record the historic scenery.
D. Song's skills and emotion make the works valuable.
31. What's the best title of this text
A. Frozen in time： an old Beijing in Song Buyun's exhibition
B. Song Buyun： a great colour master who painted architecture
C. A symphony of colors： an exhibition giving you a feast of eyes
D. Landmarks in Beijing： the harmony architecture and culture

The ice around Alaska is not just melting. It's gotten so low that the situation is endangering some people's food and jobs.
"The seas are extraordinary warm. It is affecting the ability for Americans in the area to put food on the table right now, "said University of Alaska climate expert Rick Thoman.
Ocean temperatures in the Chukchi and North Bering seas are nearly 5°℃ above normal, satellite data shows.
"The northern Bering and southern Chukchi Seas are baking. And there are immediate local and economic influences along the state's western and northern coastlines. Birds and sea animals are showing up dead and sea temperatures are warm enough to support algae（藻类）to grow rapidly, robbing sea animals of oxygen and sunshine. "he said.
Many coastal Alaska towns are facing dire situation since they depend on fishing to support their economy and feed people who live there.
"Much of what the people eat there comes from food they harvest themselves, "said Brian Brettschneider at the International Arctic Research Center. "If people can't get out on the ice to hunt seals or whales, that affects their food security. It is a human crisis（危机）of survival. ""
The warming is a sure signal of a warming planet, according to Brettschneider. "This event is unquestionably a reflection of our changing climate. And this year's conditions will have a lasting effect. These extraordinary warm waters will take a while to cool off as winter approaches, and later and thinner ice is expected in the coming winter. "he said.
"What is happening in coastal Alaska is what is coming in one sense for everybody else, "he said. "Most people are feeling the effects of climate change even if they don't know it. Changes are happening, and changes will be more obvious. "
32. Why is the food for people in Alaska at risk according to Rick Thoman
A. The sea water is too warm for creatures in the sea.
B. Climate change causes the increasing death of sea creatures.
C. Fishers are forced to quit their jobs because of climate change.
D. Higher temperature produces poisonous plants that can't be eaten.
33. What does the underlined word "dire” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Inconvenient. B. Familiar. C. Sudden. D. Awful.
34. What is Brettschneider's attitude towards the current situation of climate change
A. Positive. B. Curious. C. Concerned. D. Unclear.
35. What message does the author try to express in this text
A. People can do nothing to deal with climate change.
B. Climate change makes people in Alaska live a hard life.
C. More efforts should be made to protect the sea life in Alaska.
D. There are many reasons why the ocean in Alaska is warming.
