问题     The phenomena known as deja vu has been one of keen interest for scientists, religious and the common man for ages. The idea that one may be experiencing a repeated vision of some sort from the distant past or future is an intriguing concept, although not one easily agreed upon. Indeed, numerous theories exist on the meaning behind those feelings that one has "seen this before," some more scientific than others, of course.
    One common explanation for the phenomena is based on certain religious beliefs. For those that believe in the theory of reincarnation, that our souls are reborn into new bodies on earth after death, it is not a far stretch to believe that some of our memories may remain with our soul during this transition. To proponents of this theory, the feeling of "having seen it before" is simply a leftover memory from one’s past life, coaxed out of hiding by some stimulus in the current one. To them, the feeling of having seen it before means just that: that they have indeed seen it before, although not in the present lifetime.
    Some, however, believe that the phenomena of deja vu is explained most adequately by the concept that humans have extrasensory perception(ESP), the power to be aware of things beyond the grasp of our normal five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. To those who believe in ESP, one who has "seen it before" has indeed seen it before, not in a past life, but rather through ESP in the form of a premonition. The phenomena of deja vu, thus, to those who believe in ESP, is proof that humans are capable of seeing the future in some limited ways.
    The theory that has its basis most firmly rooted in science, however, is a much more mundane one. Those who attribute deja vu to entirely natural sources(other than ESP)claim that the experience of feeling that one has "seen it before" is actually the experience of seeing it twice: once with the senses and again with the mind. Proponents of this theory believe that an individual’s senses may at times register stimulus from the outside world such as a sight, smell or taste faster than their brains can process the information. Thus, when the brain finally finishes evaluating the data that the senses have sent, it has two "records" of it—one by the senses and one by the brains, but both equally real, thus the feeling of deja vu.
An example of ESP, as described in paragraph 3, is______.
选项 A、seeing through solid objects
B、sensing danger before it occurs
C、being able to communicate with animals
D、the ability to understand ideas and issues that most other humans cannot
答案B
解析 属信息推断题。题目中的关键词ESP出现在第三段第一句，由ESP后面的逗号可判断后面的句子是它的同位语，是对它的进一步的解释：“超感知觉”指的是超越我们正常的五种感觉……之外的那种感知事物的能力。第二句又补充道：对相信超感知觉的人来说，一个人“似曾见过”……并不是在过去生活中见到的，而是通过超感知觉以预感的形式看到的。由此可知，选项B正确。选项A、C在文中没有涉及；选项D无法从文中推出。
