what about smells? Can you ever remember smells from your dreams?
A study published in 1896 looked at different sensory (感官的) experiences in dreams. It found visual (视觉的) experience 75 controls one’s dreams. It takes up about 85%, while auditory (听觉的) makes up 69%, and smell only 7%.
But why? Now scientists have possible reasons based on what is known about the brain.
In our brain, there is a special part called the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). It is linked to our feelings. As much as two-thirds of the cerebral cortex works in vision (

76 often in dreams. Auditory is closely tied to language, and language is processed entirely in the cerebral cortex. Smell, 77 , has little to do with the cerebral cortex. It connects directly into the memory and emotional systems. That’s why a smell can bring back a memory.
Another 78 is that perhaps smell is not easily affected (影响) by our imagination. For example, close your eyes and imagine your favorite dish. What do you get? It is easy to think about what it looks like. But it is not as easy to imagine its smell.
Vision and auditory is a complex (复杂的) process inside the brain. But smell is a direct measurement (衡量) of the chemicals in the air. There is 79 imagination involved in smell. Therefore, smell might not be much affected by the brain activity during dreaming.
It is 80 to taste and touch. That is why you don’t often have the experience of taste and touch in your dreams. 75. A) hardly 76. A) fails hand

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)
On Friday, 7 June, an Italian Airlines flight was ready to leave Rome for Tokyo in Japan. All the passengers were on the plane. The departure time was 21:00. The seatbelt signs were turned on, so passengers were not allowed to stand up and had to stay in their seats. Then something unusual happened.
A woman decided that she had to go to the toilet. So she got up and walked to the back of the plane. The toilet door was clearly marked ‘TOILET’, but the woman opened a door next to the toilet. This door was the emergency exit and, when she opened it, the evacuation slide (逃生滑梯) opened. Because of this, the plane was not able to take off.
All the passengers had to leave the plane. When the evacuation slide has opened, there are two possibilities. Workers can change the slide at the airport, but the flight will be delayed for a long time. Or the plane can take off without an evacuation slide and replace it when it has landed, but the number of passengers on the plane must be smaller for safety reasons.
Thirty-eight passengers had to stay at a hotel at the Airport and take another flight the next day. The other passengers got back on the plane, and it finally took off at 05:10 on Saturday morning. It arrived in Tokyo at 14:10. Some passengers found that their luggage was still in Italy. But perhaps they were lucky … 88. What city was the Italian Airlines flight ready to fly to?
89. Passengers on the plane were allowed to stand up and walk about, weren’t they? 90. Why was the flight delayed?
91. In what situation can the plane take off without the evacuation slide? 92. How long did it take the plane to get to the destination?
93. Do you think the passengers on the plane lucky or unlucky? Why? VII. Writing (作文) (共20分)
