2005年考研英语完形填空真题解析
The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it 14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new receptors if necessary. This may 16 explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells-we simply do not need to be. We are not 17of the usual smell of our own house, but we 18 new smells when we visit someone else's. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors 19 for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.

文章背景
文章的主题是"人的鼻子"，作者谈论的中心议题是"我们常常低估了鼻子的功能。"作者通过介绍人们对鼻子感知功能的误解和鼻子事实上具有的功能，对比了人们对气味的敏感性，以及大脑对鼻子感知的调节作用。
文章结构
文章第一段提出论点The human nose is an underrated tool(人的鼻子是一种被低估的工具)。第二段和第三段分别对人们认为人类的嗅觉不灵敏的原因进行反驳，并作出解释。
答案详解
因此，正确答案为C。
2.【解析】[B]语义衔接题。…this is largely because,animals, we stand upright. "而这在很大程度上是因为人类直立行走，这一点与动物……"人类直立行走，而动物却不同。因此，正确答案为B。
B、C项。be confined to有"把……局限/限制于"的含义，但是它一般用于具体范围的"局限、限制"，与句子的语境不符。因此，正确答案为A。
4.【解析】[C]语义衔接题。本题目选择介词或者现在分词，将前面的句子和后面的名词连接到一起，体现紧密的逻辑关系。句子叙述到This means that our noses are limited to perceiving those smells which float through the air,the majority of smells which stick to surfaces."这意味着我们的鼻子只能闻到漂浮在空气中的气味，……大多数在地表附近的气味。"不难发现，人类闻到的气味有限，
没有闻到的地表的气味很多。选项A. catching 抓住;B. ignoring忽略;C. missing错过;D. tracking跟踪，追溯。前面说我们的鼻子只能闻到浮在空气中的气味，对于大部分停留在表面的气味当然是"闻不到"。首先可以排除
A、D项，ignore含有"有意不……"的意思，显然不符合语境。故正确答案为C。
5.【解析】[B]逻辑衔接题。In fact,,we are extremely sensitive to smells, we do not generally realize it.由于本句中的in fact提示了转折关系，因此要选择转折的逻辑关系词。选项A.anyway 无论如何(表示让步);B.though 虽然(表示让步或转折);C.instead 相反;D.therefore 因此(表示结果)。四个选项中，只有though能与in fact连用表示转折(不过，事实上……)。因此，正确答案为B。
6.【解析】[A]逻辑衔接题。In fact, though, we are extremely sensitive to smells,we do not generally realize it. "事实上，我们对气味极其敏感，……我们一般没有意识到。"选项A. even if 即使(表让步);B. if only但愿(后常接虚拟语气，表示愿望);C. only if如果(用于表达条件关系，only表强调);D.as if 似乎(用于表达比较关系)。四个选项中只有A项even if 用于表达让步关系"即使"。因此，正确答案为A。
7.【解析】[D]语义衔接/词汇辨析题。本题目选择动名词，在句子中充当谓语的动作内容。句子叙述到Our noses are capable ofhuman smells "我们的鼻子能够……人的气味"。选择谓语动词，主语和宾语提供信息决定答案。选项A. distinguishing 区别;B. discovering发现;C.determing 决定;D. detecting发现，发觉，感知。我们的鼻子只能是感知(引申为闻到)人的气味"。因此，正确答案为D。
8.【解析】[A]语义衔接/词汇辨析题。本题目选择动词过去分词形式，构成"be…to"的短语。Our noses are capable of detecting human smells even when these areto far below one part in one million. "我们的鼻子能够闻到人的气味，即使这些气味被……到百万分之一。"选项A.diluted 稀释的(可以用在液体或气体的稀释);B.dissolved 溶解(通常指固体溶解为液体);C.dispersed 散开;D.diffused 扩散，弥漫。气味应该是被稀释或冲淡到百万分之一。因此，正确答案为A。
9.【解析】[D]逻辑衔接题。Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another,others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. "奇怪的是，有些人发现他们可以闻到一种花香，却闻不出另一种，……有些人却对两种花香都很敏感。"显然构成一种对比关系，只有whereas能用于引导表示转折关系的并列句。因此，正确答案为D。
10.【解析】[B]词汇辨析题。本题目选择形容词，修饰后面的名词。句子叙述到This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generatesmell receptors in the nose."这意味着有些人的鼻子里缺少某种基因，这种基因是激发人鼻子里的……气味感知器所必需的。"选项A. unusual 不寻常的;B. particular特别的，特定的;C. unique独一无二的;D. typical典型的。这种"气味感知器"具有感知气味这种特定的功能。因此，正确答案为B。
11.【解析】[C]语义衔接题。本题目选择名词。句子叙述到These receptors are the cells which sense smells and sendto the brain. "这些感知器是一种细胞。这种细胞能够感知气味，并且向大脑传递……"选项A. signs 标记;B. stimuli刺激;C. messages信息，信号;D. impulses冲动，推动。身体的各个器官向大脑传递的是信号。因此，正确答案为C。(补充：
人体的每个器官附近都密布着神经末梢。在感受到外界刺激时，神经末梢紧张起来处理外界刺激转换成大脑能够辨认的信号，并将这些信号迅速传递给大脑。)
D. at times有时。由于谓语部分的频度状语"突然"体现了时间的交替关系，句子应该表达起初不敏感。因此，正确答案为A。
14.【解析】[C]语义衔接/词汇辨析题。The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds itto keep all smell receptors working all the time "认为鼻子不敏感的解释表明：
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。因此，正确答案为C。
15.【解析】[D]语义衔接题。The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it inefficient to keep all smell receptors working all the time but cannew receptors if necessary. "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效率低的。但是，需要时又可以……新的气味感知器。"选项A.introduce 介绍，引进;B.summon 呼唤，号召;C. trigger扣动扳机，一触即发;D. create创造，产生(从无到有)。trigger the receptors"激活受体"是常见的搭配，但"激活"应该是对现已存在的食物而言。从空格后面的new来判断，只有create才符合逻辑。因此，正确答案为D。
16.【解析】[B]逻辑衔接题。This mayexplain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells-we simply do not need to be . "这……可以解释为什么我们通常对自己的气味不敏感--我们根本不需要(对自己的气味敏感)。"选项A.still 仍
然;B.also 也;C.otherwise 否则;D.nevertheless 然而，虽然如此。"this"这个词就表明了逻辑关系应该是并列，翻译成"也"，表示和前面的句子是相同或者相近的含义。因此，正确答案为B。
17.【解析】[C]语义衔接题。本题目选择"be not…of "的结构，在句子中充当位于动词。
句子叙述到We are notof the usual smell of our own house "一般我们没有……我们自己房间里的气味。"此句的意思是：
我们意识不到自己家里的气味，但当我们去拜访他人时就会留意到新的气味。因此，选aware of。sure of "确信"，sick of "厌倦"，tired of "厌倦"都不合句意。
18.【解析】[D]语义衔接题。We are not aware of the usual smell of our own house but wenew smells when we visit someone else's. "我们意识不到自己家里的气味。但是，在拜访别人家时，我们……新的气味。"选项A. tolerate 忍受;B. repel抵制;C. neglect忽略;D. notice注意到。句子中的"but"提供了信息，前后两个句子含义相反。前面提到"没有注意到自己房间的气味"，后面就应该是闻到新的气味。因此，正确答案为D。
19.【解析】[A]语义衔接题。The brain finds it best to keep smell receptorsfor unfamiliar and emergency signals "大脑会使气味感知器……随时接受不熟悉的和紧急的信号"。选项A.available 可达到的，可工作的;B. reliable可靠的;C. identifiable可辨认的;D. suitable适合的。
"大脑会使气味感知器工作来处理随时接受不熟悉和紧急信号"，故选available，符合句子含义。
20.【解析】[B]语义衔接题。The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors available for unfamiliar and emergency signalsthe smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire. "大脑会使气味感知器用于随时接受不熟悉的和紧急的信号，……烟的气味，因为预示着着火的危险"。选项A. similar to 相似于;B. such as例如;C. along with和……一起;D. aside from除……之外。烟的气味恰恰被包含在前面相邻的"不熟悉和紧急信号"之中，应该选择表示列举意义的短语。因此，正确答案为B。
参考译文
人的鼻子是一种被低估的工具。相比动物而言，经常有人认为人的嗅觉不够敏锐。但这主要是因为我们和动物不同，我们是直立行走的。这就意味着我们的鼻子局限于察觉那些浮在空气中的气味，而对粘在物体表面的气味却遗漏了。事实上，我们的嗅觉是极其敏锐的，即使我们通常上意识不到这点。我们的鼻子能够嗅出人类的气味，即使当气味被稀释到百万分之一。
奇怪的是，有些人发现他们能闻到一种花香，却闻不到另一种花香，而另一些人却可以闻到这两种。这可能是因为有些人的鼻子中缺少某种产生特定嗅觉感受器所必需的基因。这些嗅觉感受器是一些可以感觉到气味并将其信息送给大脑的细胞。然而我们却发现，即使刚开始对某种气味不敏感的人，如果常常接触该气味，那么他也会突然变得对这种气味敏感了。
看来，对嗅觉不灵敏的解释应该是：
大脑发现让所有嗅觉感受器都始终工作的话效率太低，但是在必要时却能产生新的嗅觉感受器。这也许能解释我们为什么通常闻不到自己的气味--因为我们根本不需要闻到自己的气味。我们并没有注意自己家中常有的气味，而当我
们到别人家中时却能注意到那里的新气味。大脑发现最好能让气味感受器对不熟悉或是紧急的信号保持敏感，例如烟的气味，其暗示可能有火灾的危险。

The human nose is an underrated tool.Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals,1 this is largely because,2 animals,we stand upright.This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air,4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces.In fact5,we are extremely sensitive to smells,6 we do not generally realize it.Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million.

2015年考研英语（一）深度解析：完型 1. [A] what 【解析】此题考查疑问代词辨析：题干中过去分词短语published from the University of California and Yale University…作后置定语，修饰study，而真正的句子主干是That is 1 a study has 2 .简化后的句子可以让我们清晰地看出第一题要说的是研究study的具体内容是what，不是方式how，也不是原因why，更不是时间when。 2. [B] concluded 【解析】此题考查动词辨析：同第一题一样，根据简化的句子That is what a study has 2 来解题。题目选择的动词是说明study怎样才有了上面what表示的内容。所以此题选择concluded“推断;得出结论”。其他的动词据不符合要求。 3. [D] on 【解析】此题考查介词辨析：根据题干The study is a genome-wide analysis conducted 3 1932 unique subjects的要求，所选择的介词能用在conduct“实施;进行”之后，又得和subject 搭配，所以这个题目应该选择on，构成on some subjects“关于某类主题”。 4. [C] compared 【解析】此题考查动词辨析：通过观察题干，我们发现第4题位于which引导的定语从句之内，作从句的谓语动词。Which修饰主句的主语study“研究”，如此补全定语从句就是： The study 4 pairs of unrelated friends and unrelated strangers…所以正确答案选择C。该项研究是对比所选择的两个样本。其他选项都不符合题意。 5. [C] samples 【解析】此题考查名词辨析：The same people were used in both 5 .通过观察题干，我们发现第5题空前的单词是both，表示“两者都…”。而上文中提到两者的只有“unrelated friends”和“unrelated strangers”，即这项研究的两个样本，所以答案选择C. samples“样本”。 6.[A] insignificant 【解析】此题考查形容词辨析和让步关系：题干While 1% may seem 6 , it is not so to a geneticist句首的While引导让步状语从句，同时提示我们逗号后和逗号前的内容形成一定程度上的对立关系，而且作者的表达重点位于逗号之后，1%的数量对于基因研究者来说影响程度很大。那么对于普通人而言这个数据就显得微不足道了。正确答案只能选择A。 7. [C] know 【解析】此题考查动词辨析和转折关系：题干Most people do not even 7 their fourth cousins but somehow manage to select as friends the people who 8 our kin中说“大多数人甚至不他们的第四代表亲，但是尽量选择和亲属人作为朋友”。even“甚至”这一个词就提示我们应该本题只能选择know“了解，认识”，其他选项都不符合题目要求。 8.

历年考研英语完形填空真题（2005） The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, 1 this is largely because, 2 animals ,we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact 5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million. Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often enough. The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that brain finds it 14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new receptors if necessary. This may 16 explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells we simply do not need to be. We are not 17 of the usual smell of our own house but we 18 new smells when we visit someone else's. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors 19 for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire. 1. [A]although [B]as [C]but [D]while 2.

2009年考研英语完形填空真题解析 Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are. 1 the fruit-fly experiments described in Carl Zimmer's piece in the Science Times on Tuesday. Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly 2 to live shorter lives. This suggests that 3 bulbs burn longer, that there is an 4 in not being too terrifically bright. Intelligence, it 5 , is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow 6 the starting line because it depends on learning-a 7 process-instead of instinct. Plenty of other species are able to learn, and one of the things they've apparently learned is when to 8 . Is there an adaptive value to 9 intelligence? That's the question behind this new research. I like it. Instead of casting a wistful glance 10 at all the species we've left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it implicitly asks what the real 11 of our own intelligence might be. This is 12 the mind of every animal I've ever met. Research on animal intelligence also makes me wonder what experiments animals would 13 on humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner, 14 , is running a small scale study in operant conditioning. We believe that 15 animals ran the labs, they would test us to 16 the limits of our patience, our faithfulness, our memory for terrain. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really 17 , not merely how much of it there is. 18 , they would hope to study a 19 question: Are humans actually aware of the world they live in? 20 the results are inconclusive. 1. ［A］ Suppose［B］ Consider［C］ Observe［D］ Imagine 2. ［A］ tended［B］ feared［C］ happened［D］ threatened 3. ［A］ thinner［B］ stabler［C］ lighter［D］ dimmer 4. ［A］ tendency［B］ advantage［C］ inclination［D］ priority 5. ［A］ insists on［B］ sums up［C］ turns out［D］ puts forward 6. ［A］ off［B］ behind［C］ over［D］ along 7. ［A］ incredible［B］ spontaneous［C］inevitable［D］ gradual 8. ［A］ fight［B］ doubt［C］ stop［D］ think 9. ［A］ invisible［B］ limited［C］ indefinite［D］ different 10. ［A］ upward［B］ forward［C］ afterward［D］ backward 11. ［A］ features［B］ influences［C］ results［D］ costs 12. ［A］ outside［B］ on［C］ by［D］ across
