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.
【C9】
选项
A、when
B、since
C、for
D、whereas
答案
D
解析
逻辑衔接题。结合选项可知,所填关联词表明横线前后两部分的逻辑关系。横线前部分说“一些人发现他们能分辨出一种花香而分辨不出另外一种花香”,横线后部分则说“另一些人对两种花香都很敏感”,可见两部分之间为转折对比关系,whereas“然而,但是,尽管”符合此处的逻辑关系,故为答案。when(当……时候)表示时间或两件事同时发生。since(自……以来;因为,由于),既表示时间,也表示原因,for(因为)表示原因,这三项均不能使本句逻辑通顺,故均排除。
