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.
【C18】
选项
A、tolerate
B、repel
C、neglect
D、notice
答案
D
解析
语义衔接题。but连接两个语义转折的并列分句,可见,横线所在的分句在语义上与前一个分句构成转折,前一个分句说“我们察觉不到自己家里惯有的气味”,那么横线所在部分应该是说“当我们拜访别人家时就会注意到不熟悉的气味”,notice(注意到,意识到)符合语境,与are not aware of对应,使两个分句构成转折,故为答案。tolerate(容忍,忍受),repel(驱逐,赶走)和neglect(忽略)代入句中,“当我们拜访别人家时就会容忍/驱逐/忽略不熟悉的气味”不能与前一个分句构成转折关系,故均排除。
