Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, but this is largely bec

27、ause, 1 animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 2to perceiving those smells which float through the air, missing the majority of smells which stick to 3. In fact, though, we are extremely sensitive to smells, even if we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 4human sm

28、ells even when these are diluted to far below one part in one million. Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, whereas others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 5smell re

29、ceptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 6to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when exposed to it often enough. The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to b

30、e that the brain finds it 7to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 8new receptors if necessary. This may also explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells-we simply do not need to be. We are not 9of the usual smell of our own house, but we notice new smells when we vis

31、it someone elses. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors available for unfamiliar and 10 signals such as the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.（分数：20.00）填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_填空项1:_五、READING COMPREHENSIO(总题数：10，分数：30.00)29.PART V READING

32、 COMPREHENSION_30.SECTION AIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer._(l)College students are more stressed out than ever beforeat le

33、ast according to the latest findings of a large, national survey that has been conducted annually for the last 25 years. The survey includes more than 200,000 students attending nearly 300 colleges and asks them to rate how their own mental health stacks up with their classmatesfor example, is it ab

34、ove average or in the highest 10%? (2)This somewhat unusual methodology typically results in the statistical Lake Woebegon effect in which most people tend to overestimate themselves in relation to others (it refers to the fictional Lake Woebegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good

35、-looking and all the children are above average). But the most recent results indicate that fewer and fewer freshmen feel like they are in top form in terms of coping with stress. (3)A quarter century ago, nearly 70% of freshmen put themselves in the top 10% of mentally stable people in their class;

36、 today only 52% rate themselves that highly, down 3 points since last year. Students self-esteem, however, is still strong: a full 71% of freshmen put themselves in the top 10% in terms of academic abilities. Its hard to know what these numbers actually mean: obviously, its not mathematically possib

37、le for 52% or 71% of people to be in the top 10% of anything. And, as I explored earlier, peoples attempts to compare themselves with others are skewed (倾斜) in various ways. Nevertheless, the finding is in line with previous research, which found that almost half of all college students who seek cou

38、nseling now have a major mental illness. Thats more than double the rate seen 10 years ago. (4)So whats going on? Obviously, the economy and high unemployment rate make for a scary time to be in college, potentially facing terrifying levels of debtthat alone could account for the increase in stress.

39、 (5)Secondly, a much more rigorous large study recently found that empathy among college students had declined 40% since 2000and since caring relationships are essential to mental and physical health, a decline in empathy could also produce a decline in mental health and coping. (6)My final point br

40、ings us back to my earlier post on a Stanford study that looked at the psychological effects of comparing ourselves to others. It found that the way people tend to conceal their negative emotions while broadcasting their happy ones makes the rest of us feel somehow less thanas though all our friends

41、 and neighbors have better lives than we do. Social media sites like Facebook and Twitter seem to have made these comparisons even more harmful by providing the perfect venue through which people can continually present a. perfect version of themselves. (7)This phenomenon, too, might tie into why th

42、e new survey, The American Freshman: National Norms, found that students are feeling less confident about their level of emotional and mental stability. If all the students around you are desperately trying to put on a happy faceand you perceive that face as a true reflection of their inner selves,

43、even as you work to hide your own sadnesswell, its not surprising that so many students might be getting a bit stressed out. (8)Instead, if students were encouraged to feel safe expressing their honest emotions, even about their fears and failures, everyone might feel more connected, happierand, yes, healthier.（分数：8.00）(1).What is true about the result of the survey?（分数：2.00）A.It didnt manifest the typical lake Woebegon effect.B.The typical Lake Woebegon effect wasnt expected.C.The students underestimated themselves.D.The students overestimated themselves.(2).It was also found in previous res
