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 messages to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell【C11】______can suddenly become sensitive to it when exposed to it often enough.
The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it【C12】______to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can create new receptors if necessary. This may 【C13】______explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells—we simply do not need to be. We are not【C14】______of the usual smell of our own house, but we notice new smells when we visit someone else’s. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors【C15】______for unfamiliar and emergency signals such as the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.
【C12】
选项
A、ineffective
B、incompetent
C、inefficient
D、insufficient
答案
C
解析
句意“认为鼻子不敏感的解释表明:大脑发现让所有的气味感知器一直处于工作状态是……的。”选项A.ineffective无效的,不起作用的;B.incompetent不能胜任的;C.inefficient效率低的;D.insufficient不足的,不够的。根据语境,首先可以排除B、D项。ineffective和inefficient一个强调效果,一个强调效率。大脑发现让所有的气味感知器一直处于工作状态会使气味感知:器的效率降低。故答案为C。
