Secret behind smell (P6)
河北省邯郸市第一中学  王永仙
 
I. Lead-in   
Do you like fruit?
Which fruit do you like best? 
What about the durian? Do you like its smell? Why does it smell like that?
 Can we change its smell while keeping its good taste?
 
II. Skimming
Read the passage quickly and answer the question.
1. What is the main idea of the article? 
Scientists recently found that a gene called MGL is responsible for the smell of the durian. 
 
III. Scanning
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions.
1. Why is the durian’s smell important for the plant?
•Key: In the wilderness, the durian’s smell serves an important purpose – survival (存活). The fruit’s special smell attracts animals, which eat and spread its seeds (种子).
 
2. Why do so many of us enjoy eating this unusual fruit? 
Key: It has a very rich, creamy taste. To people who enjoy eating it, durian has a heavenly smell and melts in the mouth.
 
3. How can the study help us?
•Key:  By identifying the MGL gene, scientists could theoretically produce durian that doesn’t smell as strong, and therefore increase its marketability. What’s more, changing the durian’s DNA could also help keep the fruit’s biodiversity. 
 
 
IV. Language study
Translate the sentences. Pay attention to the sentence structures.
1. Thanks to the work of the scientists, we finally know why the durian smells so unique. 
• Thanks to 为介词短语引导原因状语,意为由于,多亏。
• why 引导宾语从句, 做know的宾语。
• unique 意为独特的,独一无二的。
句意为:多亏了科学家们的研究成果,我们最终发现了为什么榴莲的味道如此独特。
 
2. However, in some Southeast Asian countries where durian grows, the smelly fruit is banned on public transport and in many hotels. 
• where 引导定语从句, 修饰先行词some Southeast Asian countries 。
• banned 为ban 的过去式,意为禁止。
句意为:然而,在一些种植榴莲的东南亚国家,这种有味的水果被禁止被带上公共交通工具或带入旅馆。
 
3. By identifying (识别) this MGL gene, scientists could theoretically (理论上) produce durian that doesn’t smell as strong. 
•that  引导定语从句,修饰先行词durian 。
•as strong 为as…as…结构的省略,省略部分为as strong as it is now 。
句意为:通过识别这种 MGL基因,理论上科学家能够创造出气味不那么重的榴莲。
 
4. A durian without its smell is nothing but an empty shell with no essence (精华)
•nothing but 意为只有,只是,仅仅。后面可接
•1)名词或代词: Nothing but a miracle can save her.只有奇迹可以救活她。
•2)省略to的不定式:You have done nothing but grumble since we arrived.自从我们来后,你就只会发牢骚。
