What are five senses？ They include: the sense of sight, hearing, ________, smell, and touch.

The world is known to us through many senses, not just hearing, smell, vision, and at close range, touch and taste.

Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust into water at body temperature, even if the Anger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.

By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitation of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by colour-conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的) part of the insect's spectrum, and, for honey-bees at least, constitutes a separate colour.

From the passage we realize that ______.

A．man possesses far more senses than the five major ones

B．man possesses a few more senses than animals

C．man possesses as many senses as animals

D．man has fully utilized his senses

听力原文： There are very often strong opinions expressed / about what makes a good wine. At a simple level, a good wine is one that you enjoy drinking. But why do you prefer one wine to another?

To judge a wine there are three basic senses / that have to be employed: the sense of sight, the sense of smell, and the sense of taste. Of these three, taste is by far the most complex, but sight and smell are powerful. The wrong colour or the wrong smell enable a wine / to be discarded without taste even being involved.

Having examined the wine, you can now get on and drink it. But try and remember your conclusions, for it is only by building up your own personal taste bank memory / that you can progress as a wine taster, h is not difficult, and it is great fun. Cheers!

C．To compare the power of smell with that of other senses

D．To explain how the sense of smell evolved in early humans

Study Says Dogs Can Smell Cancer

Dogs are knowrn for their sense of smell. They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as man&39;s best friend can even find bladder(膀胱) cancer.

Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors(气味). Researchers think dogs have the abilit)to smell these odors, even in very small amounts, in urine(尿). The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.

The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole(痣)was later found to be skin cancer.

Carolyn Willis ted a team of researchers at Amersham Hospital in England. They trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patients ,from people with other diseases and from healthy people.

Each dog was tested eight times. In each test there were seven samples for the dogs to smell.

The dog was supposed to signal the one from a bladder cancer patient by lying down next to it.

Two cocker spaniels(短腿长毛垂耳小猎犬) were correct fifty-six percent of the time. But the scieatists reported an average success rate of forty-one percent.

As a group, the study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times. That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.

The British Medical Journal published the research. In all, thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part.

During training, all the dogs reportedly even identified a cancer in a person who had tested healthy before the study. Doctors found a growth on the person&39;s right kidney(肾).

Bladder cancer is the ninth most common cancer worldwide. The International Agency for Re-search on Cancer says this disease kills more than one hundred thousand people each year. Doctors say cigarette smoking is the leading cause of bladder cancer.

The experiment was conducted in a __________. 查看材料

A.police station

B.hospital
