问题     The phenomena known as deja vu has been one of keen interest for scientists, religious and the common man for ages. The idea that one may be experiencing a repeated vision of some sort from the distant past or future is an intriguing concept, although not one easily agreed upon. Indeed, numerous theories exist on the meaning behind those feelings that one has "seen this before," some more scientific than others, of course.
    One common explanation for the phenomena is based on certain religious beliefs. For those that believe in the theory of reincarnation, that our souls are reborn into new bodies on earth after death, it is not a far stretch to believe that some of our memories may remain with our soul during this transition. To proponents of this theory, the feeling of "having seen it before" is simply a leftover memory from one’s past life, coaxed out of hiding by some stimulus in the current one. To them, the feeling of having seen it before means just that: that they have indeed seen it before, although not in the present lifetime.
    Some, however, believe that the phenomena of deja vu is explained most adequately by the concept that humans have extrasensory perception(ESP), the power to be aware of things beyond the grasp of our normal five senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. To those who believe in ESP, one who has "seen it before" has indeed seen it before, not in a past life, but rather through ESP in the form of a premonition. The phenomena of deja vu, thus, to those who believe in ESP, is proof that humans are capable of seeing the future in some limited ways.
    The theory that has its basis most firmly rooted in science, however, is a much more mundane one. Those who attribute deja vu to entirely natural sources(other than ESP)claim that the experience of feeling that one has "seen it before" is actually the experience of seeing it twice: once with the senses and again with the mind. Proponents of this theory believe that an individual’s senses may at times register stimulus from the outside world such as a sight, smell or taste faster than their brains can process the information. Thus, when the brain finally finishes evaluating the data that the senses have sent, it has two "records" of it—one by the senses and one by the brains, but both equally real, thus the feeling of deja vu.
In paragraph 2, "it is not a far stretch to believe that" is most similar in use to______.
选项 A、it is sometimes believed that
B、the most likely conclusion is that
C、it logically follows that
D、it is not unreasonable to believe that
答案D
解析 属信息推断题。…it is not a far stretch to believe that…(字面意思：相信……并不需要太长的时间)在第二段第二句。前半句提到“那些相信轮回转世说这一理论的人相信我们的灵魂会在死后于新的肉身上得到新生”，由此可推知“要他们相信在死亡及重生过程中，我们留存在记忆中的一些印象仍会保存在心灵之中也不应是什么难事(not a far stretch)”，即“顺理成章”。因此，选项D最贴切。
