The temperature of the sun is over 5000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface, but it rises to perhaps more than 16 million degrees at the center.The sun is so much hotter than die earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core.In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a small solid core.However, no one really knows, since the center of the sun can never be directly observed.
Solar astronomers do know that the sun is divided into five layers or zones.Starting at the outside and going down into the sun, the zones are the corona, chromosphere, photosphere, convection zone and finally the core.The first three zones are regarded as the sun's atmosphere.
But since the sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main
body of the sun begins.
The sun's outermost layer begins about 10000 miles above the visible surface and goes outward for mllions of miles.This is the only part of the sun that can be seen during an eclipse(日食) such as the one in February 1979.At any other time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used on cameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun's rays.
The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as bright as the full moon.Its beautiful rays are a sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona's rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spikelike(一束束穗状) rays near the sun's north and south poles.The corona is thickest at the sun's equator.
The corona rays are made up of gases streaming outward at tremendous speeds sad reaching a temperature of more than 2 million degrees Fahrenheit.The rays of gas thin out as they reach the space around the planets.By the time the sun's corona rays reach the Earth, they are weak and invisible.
【小题1】Matter on the aim can exist only in fee form of gas because of the sun's ___.

A.sizeB.ageC.locationD.temperature

Ever thought you’d get to experience the smell of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair, or the scent(气味) of the sun? Visitors to the Reg Vardy Gallery will soon be able to do just that.

The gallery, at Sunderland University, England, is holding a new exhibition “If There Ever Was”. It focuses on scent rather than sight.

The innovative(创新的) idea is the brainchild of curator(馆长) Robert Blackson. His inspiration came from reading the book Fast Food Nation. The book discussed the use of artificial chemicals to flavor things such as milkshakes, making them smell and taste like strawberries, when they’re not actually made from them.

A smell can often conjure up(召唤) memories such as school dinners or a childhood holiday by the sea, but the smells on display, will allow visitors to experience smells their noses won’t have been able to pick out before.

“There’s a whole variety of different smells, including some extinct flowers,” explains Blackson. “Some have been gone for hundreds of years.”

One extraordinary fragrance(香气) is the aftermath(灾难的后果) of the first atomic bomb, dropped on Japan on August 6,1945.

There is also the smell of Clepatra’s hair, based on incense(熏香) that was popular among ancient Egyptians.

The Soviet Mir space station, which burnt up in the atmosphere in 2001, smells of charred(烧焦的) material (the space station caught fire).

Among the stranger smells is the “surface of the sun”.

“It is hard to sum up. It is an atmospheric smell, like walking into a room when the sun has been pouring in” says Blackson. “It gives a freshness, a sun kissed feel with a bit of metal. If you can say something smells hot, this is it.”

A team of 11, including perfume designers, have been working on recreating the smells for the exhibition. James Wong, a botanist(植物学家)at Botanic Gardens Conservation International, UK, helped in the recreation of the smells of four extinct flowering plants.

He did this by closely linking the extinct flowers with the smells of existing ones. With the help of historical reports of how the extinct flowers smelled, he was able to remix the aromas(芳香).

The exhibition runs until June 6.Fourteen extinct and impossible smells are on display.

1.What might be the best title of the passage?

   A. The Reg Vardy Gallery       B. Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair

   C. A visit to a new exhibition     D. The scents of ancient Egypt

2.Visitors can enjoy all of the following scents at the Reg Vardy Gallery EXCEPT   .

   A. the scent of ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra’s hair

   B. the smells of charred material of the Soviet Mir space station

   C. the scent of having a childhood vacation by the sea

   D. the smell of the aftermath of the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. Visitors go to Reg Vardy Gallery to enjoy beautiful sights.

   B. James Wong managed to remix the aromas by referring to some historical reports.

   C. The exhibition will last until July 6.

   D. The scents visitors will smell are found in the tomb (坟墓) of the ancient Egyptian queen Cleopatra.

4.In which session are you likely to read the passage in a newspaper?

   A. Science       B. Education      C. Entertainment      D. Economy
