问题     Scientists have been struggling to find out the reason behind blushing (脸红) . Why would humans evolve (进化) a【41】that puts us at a social disadvantage by【42】us to reveal that we have cheated or lied?
    Charles Darwin pointed out that【43】all people of all races blush, animals do not. When it came to explaining the reason, he was【44】a loss. That has not stopped others from trying.
    One【45】is that blushing started out as a way to show we obey authoritative members of the group. Later, as our social interactions became【46】complex, it became involved with higher, self-conscious【47】such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. This would seem to put individuals at a disadvantage, but blushing might actually make a person more【48】or socially desirable.
    【49】that women blush more than men, one university researcher suggests that blushing might have evolved as a way for women to【50】their honesty to men so as to win their support in raising children. Some zoologists also think blushing could have emerged as a way to foster trust.
    "If you were to go hunting【51】a stone-faced partner, you could never【52】what he wants." He says. Once blushing became【53】with embarrassment, anyone who did not blush might have been at a disadvantage because we are【54】likely to trust someone who appears never to feel【55】about anything.
选项 A、moods
B、senses
C、emotions
D、tempers
答案C
解析 mood意为“情绪、心情”；sense意为“感官”；emotion意为“情感”；temper 意为“脾气”。原文列举了如guilt(愧疚)、shame(羞愧)、embarrassment(尴尬)等感觉。这些显然不属于sense(感官)和temper(脾气)，排除。mood和emotion的区别在于，mood表示就某种事件或某段时间影响下所产生的心情或情绪，emotion表示主观上的下意识的感觉。原文在分析人类脸红的原因，从人类自身的情感着手。所以，这里应是emotion。
