The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, 【B1】______this is largely because, 【B2】______animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are【B3】______to perceiving those smells which float through the air,【B4】______the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact,【B5】______, we are extremely sensitive to smells, 【B6】______we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 【B7】______human smells even when these are【B8】______to far below one part in one million.
Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 【B9】______others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate【B10】______smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send【B11】______to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell【B12】______can suddenly become sensitive to it when【B13】______to it often enough.
The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it【B14】______to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can【B15】______new receptors if necessary. This may【B16】______explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells—we simply do not need to be. We are not【B17】______of the usual smell of our own house, but we【B18】______new smells when we visit someone else’ s. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors【B19】______for unfamiliar and emergency signals【B20】______the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.
【B3】
选项
A、limited
B、committed
C、dedicated
D、confined
答案
A
解析
考查动词辨析。空格所在部分讲“这意味着我们的鼻子______感知到那些浮在空气中的气味”。由上句可知,和动物不同,人类是直立的,由此可知,人的鼻子只能限于感知到那些浮在空气中的气味。因此,空格处应填表示“局限”的词。limit和confine都表示“局限”,但confine“限制”,表示在一定活动、领域和地域内受到限制。limit“局限于”,表示时间、空间、程度、数量等方面所能或允许达到的最大程度,符合文意,故选A.limited。
