Humans are often thought to be insensitive smelle
25、rs compared with animals, but this is largely because,【C1】_animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are【C2 】_to perceiving those smells which float through the air, missing the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, though, we are extremely sensitive to smells, even if we d
26、o not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of【C3 】_human smells even when these are【C4】_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 som
27、e people do not have the genes necessary to generate【C5】_smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send【C6】_to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when【C7】_to it oft
28、en enough. The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it inefficient to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can【C8】_new 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【
29、C9】_of the usual smell of our own house but we notice new smells when we visit someone elses. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors【C10】_for unfamiliar and emergency signals such as the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.51 【C1 】（A）above（B） unlike（C） excluding（D）beside

At least, that is what most men are convinced of.
32、 Psychologists view the subject either as a matter of frustration or a joke. Now the biologists have moved into this minefield, and some of them have found that there are real differences between the brains of men and women. But being different, they point out hurriedly, is not the same as being bet
33、ter or worse. There is, however, a definite structural variation between the male and female brain. The difference is in a part of the brain that is used in the most complex intellectual processes the link between the two halves of the brain. The two halves are linked by a trunk line of between 200
34、and 300 million nerves, the corpus callosum (胼胝体) . Scientists have found quite recently that the corpus callosum in women is always larger and probably richer in nerve fibers than it is in men. This is the first time that a structural difference has been found between the brains of women and men an
35、d it must have some significance. The question is “What?“, and, if this difference exists, are there others? Research shows that present-day women think differently and behave differently from men. Are some of these differences biological and inborn, a result of evolution? We tend to think that is t
36、he influence of society that produces these differences. But could we be wrong?Research showed that these two halves of the brain had different functions, and that the corpus callosum enabled them to work together. For most people, the left half is used for word-handing, analytical and logical activ
37、ities; the right half works on pictures, patterns and forms. We need both halves working together. And the better the connections, the more harmoniously the two halves work. And, according to research findings, women have the better connections. But it isnt all that easy to explain the actual differ
38、ences between skills of men and women on this basis. In schools throughout the world girls tend to be better than boys at “language subjects“ and boys better at maths and physics. If these differences correspond with the differences in the hemispheric trunk line, there is an unalterable distinction
39、between the sexes. We shant know for a while, partly because we dont know of any precise relationship between abilities in school subject and the functioning of the two halves of the brain, and we cannot understand how the two halves interact via the corpus callosum. But this striking difference mus
40、t have some effect and, because the difference is in the parts of the brain involved in intellect, we should be looking for differences in intellectual processing.61 Which of the following statement is CORRECT?（A）Biologists are conducting research where psychologists have given up.（B） Main differenc
41、es point to superiority of one sex over the other.（C） Results of scientific research fail to support popular belief.（D）The structural difference in the brain between the sexes has long been known. 62 According to the passage it is commonly believed that brain differences are caused by_factors.（A）bio
42、logical（B） psychological（C） physical（D）social63 “ These differences“ in Paragraph 5 refer to those in_.（A）skills of men and women（B） school subjects（C） the brain structure of men and women（D）activities carried out by the brain64 At the end of the passage the author proposes more work on_.（A）the brai
43、n structure as a whole（B） the functioning of part of the brain（C） the distinction between the sexes（D）the effects of the corpus callosum65 What is the main purpose of the passage?（A）To outline the research findings on the brain structure.（B） To explain the link between sex and brain structure.（C） To
44、 discuss the various factors that cause brain differences.（D）To suggest new areas in brain research. 65 Can electricity cause cancer? In a society that literally runs on electric power, the very idea seems preposterous. But for more than a decade, a growing band of scientists and journalists has poi
45、nted to studies that seem to link exposure to electromagnetic fields with increased risk of leukemia and other malignancies. The implications are unsettling, to say the least, since everyone comes into contact with such fields, which are generated by everything electrical, from power lines and anten
46、nas to personal computers and micro-wave ovens. Because evidence on the subject is inconclusive and often contradictory, it has been hard to decide whether concern about the health effects of electricity is legitimateor the worst kind of paranoia. Now the alarmists have gained some qualified support
47、 from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. In the executive summary of a new scientific review, released in draft form late last week, the EPA has put forward what amounts to the most serious government warning to date. The agency tentatively concludes that scientific evidence “suggests a casu
48、al link“ between extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields those having very longwave-lengths and leukemia, lymphoma and brain cancer, While the report falls short of classifying ELF fields as probable carcinogens, it does identify the common 60-hertz magnetic field as “a possible, but not prov
49、en, cause of cancer in humans“. The report is no reason to panicor even to lost sleep. If there is a cancer risk, it is a small one. The evidence is still so controversial that the draft stirred a great deal of debate within the Bush Administration, and the EPA released it over strong objections from the Pentagon and the White House. But now no one can deny that the issue must be taken seriously and that much more research is needed. At the heart of the
