Nestled in the waters ff the cast f Tuscany, Italy, an unusual seaflr sculpture park is safeguarding its cean envirnment.
Fisherman Antni Verdi has been casting his nets in these waters since his yuth alng the Maremma castline. It was in the 1980s that he began t ntice the clear signs: the seabed was becming barren, with exhausted fish stcks. Until recently, Antni Verdi has fund himself nt nly cmpeting with the decline f cean resurces but als with threatening practices f illegal “bttm trawlers(拖网捕鱼的人)”, wh randmly spil a large quantity f cean life as they fish, dragging a weighted net alng the seaflr behind their bats.

Sculptures r rcks can break weighted trawler nets. They can als functin as artificial reefs, ffering habitats fr crals and ther sea creatures.

The sculpture park represents bth an artistic expressin and a defence against destructive seaflr trawling.
Presently, 39 massive stne sculptures are scattered acrss the seabed alng an area f Tuscan castline near the twn f Talamne. In the near future, Antni Verdi hpes t extend his prtective effrts in castal waters. “The sea is still under threat,” he says, “and my missin t prtect it cntinues.”

When we think abut hw ur senses wrk，we usually imagine them perating separately: yu sniff a flwer，and the smell is delivered uninterrupted frm nse t brain. Hwever，it’s mre cmplex than that. Mst evidence fr crss－mdal perceptin (知觉) cmes frm studies int sund and visin (视觉) .
But research that shws ther senses crssing ver is cming ut all the time，and it seems that even sund and smell smetimes frm an unlikely pairing.
When New Yrk researchers，Daniel Wessn and Dnald Wilsn，tried t find ut the truth abut a “mysterius” area f the brain called the lfactry tubercle，they had t deal with this fact. Originally，they nly intended t measure hw lfactry tubercle cells in mice respnded t smell. But during testing，Wessn nticed that every time he put his cffee cup dwn，the muse cells jumped in activity. In fact，the lfactry tubercle is well－placed t receive bth smell and sund infrmatin frm the utside wrld.
Later they fund that amng separate cells，mst respnded t a smell but a significant number were als active when a sund was made. Sme cells even behaved differently when smell and sund were presented tgether，by increasing r decreasing their activity.
Of curse，mice aren’t peple，s research team has been carrying ut further experiments. They pulled tgether a grup f peple and gave them varius drinks t smell. Participants were asked t sniff the drinks，and then match them t apprpriate musical instruments and prduce the ntes at different levels. The results were interesting: pian was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strng smells sunded like the instruments that are made f metal.
Further research fund that listening t different sunds can change yur perceptins. Studying taste this time，the team rdered sme special tffee (太妃糖) and put tgether “sundscapes” crrespnding t bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces f tffee while listening t each sundscape，and fund the tffee mre bitter r sweeter，depending n which sundtrack they were listening t.
Studies like this are helping scientists crrectly describe ur understanding f the senses，and hw the brain cmbines them with its advantage. The cnsequences are wrth cnsidering. Culd we see musicians wrk tgether with chefs t prduce sund－imprved fd and drink? Will yu be rdering a cffee with a sundtrack t bring ut yur favrite smell? Cme t think f it，that culd be ne thing yu hpe cffee shp chains dn’t get rund t.
32. What des the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A. A lt f research fcuses n the senses.
B. Sund and visin are relatively easy t study.
C. There can be a link between sund and smell.
D. Evidence abut the way senses wrk is hard t btain.
33. What can yu cnclude frm Wessn and Wilsn’s research? .
A. the mice were affected mre significantly by sund
B. the result cnfirmed what the researchers had suspected
C. the mice seemed t be afraid f certain sunds r smells
D. the cnnectin between sund and smell was fund by chance
34. What is the main idea f Paragraph 3?
A. Participants tk an active part in the experiments.
B. The purpse f the further experiments was ttally different.
C. The result failed t supprt what was fund in previus experiments.
D. Experiments shwed that links between sund and smell were cnsistent.
35. Hw des the authr feel abut the effect f the research?
A. She is excited abut the creative chances.
B. She is surprised at the recent develpments.
C. She is cnvinced that the findings will be used sn.
D. She is wrried abut hw the knwledge can be applied.
