①The human nose is an underrated tool. ②Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, 1 this is largely because, 2 animals, we stand upright. ③This
means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 4 the
majority of smells which stick to surfaces. ④In fact, 5 , we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6
we do not generally realize it. ⑤Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are
8 to far below one part in one million.
①Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. ②This may be because some people do not
have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose. ③These receptors are
the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. ④However, it has been found that
even people insensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13

①The 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. ②This may 16
explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells—we simply do not need to be. ③We
are not 17 of the usual smell of our own house, but we 18 new smells when we visit someone

①Everybody loves a fat pay rise. ②Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that
>>3a colleague has been given a bigger one. ③Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you
might even be outraged. ④Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying
assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance.
⑤But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
①The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. ②They look cute. ③They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. ④Above
all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of
“goods and services” than males.
①Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. ②The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food.
③Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber.
④However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly
different.
①In the world of capuchins grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers).
②So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. ③And if one received a grape without having to
provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out

Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can
vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger

1、In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic
by
A、posing a contrast
B、justifying an assumption
C、making a comparison
D、explaining a phenomenon
这道题很明显从第一段去寻找答案，根据原文，定位到but关键字，可以知道后面的all too monkey就是作者的主题，那么这里有but关键字在，说明是做了一个比较，所以可以直接选C
注意，but关键字优先级是最高的！ 反观A选项，意思是构成对比，但很明显这里并没有对比

Passage 1: The Profits of Employee Ownership
In this passage, the author discusses the benefits of employee ownership
for both employees and businesses. Employee ownership refers to the
practice of companies granting their employees shares or stock options,
allowing them to become partial owners of the company.
The passage starts by highlighting the positive impact of employee
ownership on employee motivation. It states that when employees have a
stake in the company, they are more likely to be motivated and take greater
responsibility for their work. This is supported by research that shows a
strong correlation between employee ownership and increased productivity.
Furthermore, the passage emphasizes the financial benefits of employee
