D．Tasting sounds.

参考答案D

解析:Today let' s talk about synesthesia, that's a brain condition in which a person' s senses are combined in a unusual ways. For example, a person with synesthesia may taste sounds. To them, a musical note may taste like a black tea. Many people who have synesthesia experience intense colors when they hear specific words. For example, they might see a flash of pink every time they hear the word "jump". For a long time, many scientists were unconvinced that synesthesia really exists, So in the 1990s an experiment was done to find out for sure. Two groups were studied. One was a group of people who claim to experience colors when they heard certain words. The other was a controlled group, people who experience nothing out of the ordinary when hearing words. Each group was asked to describe the colors they thought of when they heard a list of spoken words. When the test was repeated, the difference between the two groups was startling. After just a week, the controlled group gave the same answers only a third of the time. But even a year of a half later, the synesthetic group gave the same answers 92% of the time. Clearly, this is not just a matter of memory. Scientists are still not sure just why synesthesia happens. But certain drugs are reportedly able to produce it artificially. So we all probably have brains with connections that could syaesthesia. It' s just the connections
normally are used in that way.

单选题Questionsare based on the following passage.
It was music to my ears to hear that the Government´ s chief adviser on 26 , Susan Jebb, wants parents to 27 fruit juices at the table and return to the old days when children drank water or milk.
There is no doubt that fruit juices, as well as fizzy colas and other soft drinks, are a major contributor to the emerging crisis of 28 weight in our children and teenagers. Most fruit juice drinks are 29 with sugar syrup, often derived not from fruit, but corn.
The true 30 here, though, is not sugar but human greed. Sugar is not a poison, as some suggest, and is not even 31 : we just enjoy it. Eating too much sugar is a cause of tooth decay. It also 32 to the development of a fatty liver--which can lead to irreparable liver diseases.
The main 33 here is the weight gain, but sugar is not the only culprit; excess fat in your diet can make you fat. My point is that taking too much in, whether it´ s sugar or fat, is going to leave you with more body fat.
However, a 34 of the energy intake for most growing youngsters is refined sugar in one shape or form. If we are to educate the public how best to 35 obesity, then a cut in fruit juices and sugar-containing drinks is a good way to start. It may cut calorie intake near enough in half. Think twice before you pour that glass of juice.
