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.
The phrase "sensitive skins" (Line 6, Para.2) most probably means ______.
选项
A、skins that are quick to feel and respond
B、skins that are delicate
C、skins that are completely dry
D、skins that are sticky or slippery
答案
A
解析
本题为推断词义。“sensitive”本意指“敏感的,易感觉的”,此处“sensitive skin”表示感觉与反应敏锐的皮肤,故正确答案为A。
