10.Pleasant smells reduce pain?The possibility(61)that pleasant smells might reduce pain has been suggested by a new research.In the study,twenty women and twenty men were required (62)to put(put) their hands in hot water for as long as possible when (63)sniffing(sniff) various pleasant smells and unpleasant smells.In order to observe the experiment more clearly,the 40 volunteers were asked not to eat and drink for eight hours(64)before the experiment.Interestingly enough,pleasant smells made women's hands stay longer in hot water(65)than men.This proves that pleasant smells can't affect men (66)similarly(similar).The reason for the result may be (67)that women have the need to recognize the smell of their babies.Scientists are now (68)convinced(convince) that women recognize their baby not only by sight but also by the sense of smell.However,some people still wonder (69)if/whether recognizing their babies is the only reason for women's better developed sense of smell.Scientists will do (70)another research involving 60volunteers to find out other possible reasons.
分析 本文通过一个实验来告诉我们女性和男性相比较,女性更能够容忍痛苦.另外气味对人的忍耐力也是有影响的.
解答 61.that 考查连词.从句pleasant smells might reduce pain是完整的,由连词that引导作possibility的同位语.
62.to put 考查动词不定式.require sb.to do sth.意为"要求某人做某事",动词不定式作宾语补足语,此处是被动语态,应是动词不定式作主语补足语.
63.sniffing 考查状语从句省略.twenty women and twenty men与sniff之间是主谓关系,相当于when they are sniffing various pleasant smells and unpleasant smells时间状语从句中省略了they are.
64.before 考查介词.根据句意:40名志愿者要求在实验前不要吃喝.用介词before.
65.than 考查连词.根据句中比较级longer,后用连词than.
66.similarly 考查副词.affect是动词,要用副词修饰.
67.that 考查连词.reason后接句子完整的表语从句时用that引导.
68.convinced 考查过去分词.be动词后用形容词作表语,convinced意为"确信的;确定的",
69.if/whether 考查连词.根据句意:一些人想知道识别婴儿是否是妇女有更好的发展嗅觉的唯一理由.用连词if/whether.
70.another 考查形容词.根据句意:科学家们将做另一个牵涉到60人的研究来找到其它的原因.
