单选题Uffizi Tries to Outdo LouvreUffizi试图胜过卢浮宫 Italy is to try to turn the Uffizi gallery in Florence into Europe's premier art museum, with an ambitious 56m euro scheme to double its exhibition space. Giuliano Urbani, Italy's culture minister, said the enlarged gallery would surpass "even the Louvre". By the time work is completed, visitors to the extensively remodeled Uffizi will be able to see 800 new works, including many now confined to the gallery's storerooms for lack of space. The project—the outcome of nine months of intensive work by a team of architects, engineers and technicians—is a centrepiece of the cultural policy of Silvio Berlusconi's government. With refurbishment plans also afoot for the Accademia in Venice and the Brera in Milan, Italy is bent on securing its share of a market for cultural tourism that is threatened not just by the Louvre, but also by the " art triangle" of Madrid, which takes in the Prado, the Thyssen collection and the Reina Sofia museum of art. Schemes for the expansion of the Uffizi's exhibition space stretch back almost 60 years. The latest was mooted in the mid-1990s. But the one adopted by the present Italian government has reached a far more advanced stage than any of its forerunners. Roberto Cecchi, the government official in charge of the project, said yesterday that all that remained to do was to tender for contracts. The first changes will be seen as early as next week when a collection of pictures by Caravaggio and his school, including the artist's Bacchus, currently crammed into a tiny room on the second floor, is to be moved to more expansive premises on the first. Mr.Cecchi said the biggest problem faced by his team was "inserting a museum into a building that is itself a monument". The horseshoe-shaped Palazzo degli Uffizi, began in 1560, was designed by the artist and historian Giorgio Vasari. The latest plans are bound to stir controversy, involving as they do the creation of new stairwells and lifts in the heart of the building. There has already been an outcry over one proposed element, a seven-storey, canopy-like structure for a new exit by the Japanese architect Arata lsozaki. But Mr.Urbani said in Florence on Tuesday that part of the scheme was "subject to further evaluation". At the heart of the plan is the opening up of the first floor of the vast building, which for decades was occupied by the local branch of the national archives. This will allow visitors to follow a more extensive, and ordered, itinerary that would turn the Uffizi into what Antonio Paolucci, Tuscany's top art official, called "a textbook of art history". As at present, visitors will be channelled to the second floor, where they will be able to study early works by Cimabue and Giotto before moving on to admire the gallery's extraordinary collection of Renaissance masterpieces, including Botticelli's Primavera. But most of what was painted after 1500 is to be moved down a storey to new exhibition space, and on the ground floor there will be a more extensive collection than at present of modern art. The overall increase in exhibition space will be from 6,000sq metres to almost 13,000. Asked if the expansion might not increase the risk of inducing Stendhal's syndrome—the disorientation, noted by the French novelist, in those who encounter dozens of Italian Renaissance masterpieces—Mr. Cecchi replied fatalistically, "Yes. It'll double it".

单选题Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances. Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily. Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied "new car odor."

Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people 88 and are not the exclusive 89 of a limited class. On the other hand, our language 90 a multitude of words which are comparatively 91 used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little 92 to use them at home or in the market-place. Our 93 acquaintance with them comes not from our mother"s 94 or from the talk of our school-mates, 95 from books that we read, lectures that we 96 , or the more 97 conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular 98 in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual 99 of everyday life.
