Mre than 3, 400 years after tw ancient Egyptians were laid t rest, the jars f fd left still smell sweet. A team f analytical chemists and archaelgists(考古学家) has analysed these smells t help identify the jars’ cntents. The study shws hw the explratin f smell can enrich ur understanding f the past.

Then the team used a special machine t identify the cmpnents f the smells frm each artefact. They fund sme chemicals assciated with dried fish, and sme chemicals cmmn in fruits. The findings will feed int a larger prject t reanalyse the tmb’s cntents and prduce a mre cmprehensive picture f burial custms fr nn-ryals that existed when Kha and Merit died, abut 70 years befre Tutankhamun became the Egyptian ruler.
Aside frm shwing mre abut past civilizatins, ancient smells culd make museum visits mre inviting. Usually, peple admire exhibits with their eyes in museums. “Smell is a relatively unexplred gateway t the cllective past fr museum visitrs,” says Cecilia Bembibre at University Cllege Lndn. “It has the ptent alt allw us t experience the in a mre emtinal, persnal way, thrugh ur nse.”
32. What can we describe the 1906 discvery f Kha and Merit’ tmb as?
A. A landmark in Egyptlgy.B. A turning pint in human histry.
C. A breakthrugh in archaelgy.D. A mirrr f ancient nn-ryal life.
33. What des the underlined wrd “temptatin” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Pressure.B. Ambitin.C. Desire.D. Tendency.
34. Degan and her clleagues placed things inside plastic bags t .

35. What can the ancient smells d fr museum visitrs accrding t Bembibre?
