Most people talk about the "five" senses of man. And it is true that we get our information about the outside world from our senses of sight, heating, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that sense of sight—our visual(视觉的) sense—gives us up to eighty percent of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without it, though they are seldom noticed. These are the sense of balance, without which we would act like a drank man, and the kinesthetic (运动觉的)sense, which gives us our ideas about our own motion (行动). According to the passage, one misses most about the world when one（）

Bombing shakes the peace process in Northern Ireland. A home video camera got the scene, moments after the worst single attack in thirty years of conflict(冲突)in Northern Ireland. Hundreds of people were affected by the bombing, some lying in the streets, others clearly in a state of shock. 28 people died in this cruel attack, 220 more injured. Some people got away with wound, many others had [heir arms and legs removed ensuring they’ll live with the memory of this bombing for the rest of their lives. The people behind this car bomb obviously wanted to kill as many as people as possible. "Why in the name of killing innocent Saturday shoppers" What purpose is it going to serve.’ This vicious(恶毒的)attack threatens the fragile peace process."The peace process is not necessary. We ought to save the lives of the people. That’s what are needed to do." But the biggest supporter of peace for Northern Ireland, says now is the time to send a message to the terrorists(恐怖分子)behind the attack.Tony Blair: "That these people will not win; that they will not destroy the process that we have built up; that they will not succeed in returning Northern Ireland to the past. There is a future for Northern Ireland. We have to carry on, trying to give people and the children of Northern Ireland the future they need and they deserve.\ The bombing（）

Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank. Women often (1) that dating is like a cattle (2) , and a paper just published in Biology Letters by Thomas Pollet and Daniel Nettle of Newcastle University, in England, suggests they are (3) . They have little cause for complaint, however, because the paper also suggests that in this particular market, it is (4) who are the buyers. Mr. Pollet and Dr. Nettle were looking for (5) to support the contention that women choose men of (6) status and resources, as well as good looks. That may sound common sense, but it was often (7) by social scientists until a group of researchers who called themselves evolutionary psychologists started investigating the matter two decades ago. Since then, a series of experiments in laboratories have supported the contention. But as all zoologists know, (8) can only tell you so much. Eventually, you have to look at (9) populations. And that is what Mr. Pollet and Dr. Nettle have done. They have examined data from the 19t0 census of the United States of America and discovered that marriage is, indeed, a market. Moreover, as in any market, a (10) of buyers means the sellers have to have particularly attractive goods on (11) if they are to make the exchange. The advantage of picking 1910 was that America had not yet settled down, demographically speaking. Though the long-colonized eastern states had a sex (12) of one man to one woman, or thereabouts, in the rest of the country the old adage "go west, young man" had resulted in a (13) of males. Mr. Pollet and Dr Nettle were thus able to see just how picky women are, (14) the chance. (15) looking at the whole census, the two researchers relied on a sample of one person in 250. They then (16) the men in the sample a socioeconomic status score between zero and 96, on a scale drawn up in 1950 (which was as close to 1910 as they could get). They showed that in states where the sexes were equal in number, 56% of low status men were married by the age of 30, (17) 60% of high status men were. Even in this case, then, there are women who would prefer to remain (18) rather than marry a deadbeat. When there were 110 men for every 100 women (as, for example, in Arizona), the women got really (19) . In that case only 24% of low-status men were married by 30 compared with 46% of high-status men. As the men went west, then, so did their (20) opportunities.
In October 1961 at Crowley Field in Cincinnati Ohio an old deaf gentleman named William E. Hoy stood up to throw the first ball of the World Series. Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired (退休) from profess-ional baseball 58 years earlier in 1903. However he had been an outstanding player and the deaf people still talk about him and his years in baseball.William E. Hoy was born in Houckstown Ohio on May 23, 1862. He became deaf when he was two years old. He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the deaf. After graduation he started playing baseball while working as a shoemaker.Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh (Wisconsin) of the Northw- estern League. In 1888 he started as an outfielder (外场手) with the old Washington Senators. His small figure and speed made him an outstanding base runner. He was very good at stealing bases during his career. In the 1888 major league season he stole 82 bases. He was also the Senators’ leading hitter in 1888. Hoy was clever and he threw right-handed and batted left-handed, on June 19, 1889 he threw out three batters (击球手) at the plate from his outfield position.The arm signals used by judges today to show balls and strikes began because of Hoy. The judge lifted his right arm to show that the pitch was a strike and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.For many years people talked about Hoy’s last ball game in 1903. He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League. It was a memorable game because Hoy hit a wonderful ball which won the game. It was a very foggy day and therefore very hard to see the ball. In the ninth inning (棒球的一局) with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out in spite of the fog. Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the game.After he retired Hoy stayed busy. He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years. He also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches. Until a few years before his death he took 4—10 mile walks several mornings a week. On December 15,1961 William Hoy died at the age of 99. What can be inferred from this passage（）
