问题     The world is known to us through many senses, not just hearing, smell, vision, and at close range, touch and taste.
    Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust into water at body temperature, even if the Anger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.
    By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitation of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by colour-conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的) part of the insect’s spectrum, and, for honey-bees at least, constitutes a separate colour.
What is the main idea of the passage?
选项 A、All senses have their limitations.
B、Insects are more sensitive to colours than man.
C、Man has not fully utilized all his senses.
D、Man is not as good as animals in learning about the environment.
答案C
解析 本题为主旨题。本文主要讲述了人有多种感官来了解世界，而不是只有五大感官，但是人们却未充分利用这些感官，故C所表述的内容是全文的主要思想，为正确答案。
