The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, 【C1】______ this is largely because,【C2】______animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are【C3】______ to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 【C4】______the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, 【C5】______, we are extremely sensitive to smells, 【C6】______ we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of【C7】______human smells even when these are【C8】______ to far below one part in one million.
Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another,【C9】______others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate【C10】______smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send【C11】______ to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell【C12】______can suddenly become sensitive to it when【C13】______ to it often enough.
The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it【C14】______to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can【C15】______new receptors if necessary. This may 【C16】______explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells we simply do not need to be. We are not【C17】______of the usual smell of our own house but we【C18】______ new smells when we visit someone else’s. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors【C19】______for unfamiliar and emergency signals【C20】______the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.
【C17】
选项
A、sure
B、sick
C、aware
D、tired
答案
C
解析
语义衔接题。上句提到,我们通常对自己的气味不敏感,横线所在部分承接上句,说的是具体表现:我们不______我们自己家里惯有的气味,既然是不敏感,那么应该是察觉不到的,aware(察觉)符合此处语义要求,故为答案。此外,横线所在部分与上句we are not usually sensitive to our own smells之间在结构上对应,are not______ of对应are not sensitive to,可见所填词与sensitive近义,也能说明答案为[C]项。be sure of(确信;对……有把握),be sick of(对……感到厌烦)和be tired of(对……厌烦,厌倦)均不符合此处语境,故排除。
