意愿随着年龄的增长而下降。)”和第二段Academicshavecoinedtheterm“open-earedness”todescribethisphenomenon.(学者们创造了“open-earedness”一词来描述这种现象。)”和以及下文内容可知，本文介绍了一项研究，研究表明，我们探索新的、不熟悉的音乐的意愿随着年龄的增长而下降，学者们创造了open-earedness一词来描述这种现象，并解释了导致这种现象的原因。由此可知，D.DeclineofOpen-Earedness:AgeAffectsMusicExploration(open-earedness的下降：年龄影响音乐探索)适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。DAnyschoolchildknowsthatawhalebreathesthroughitsblowhole.Fewerknowthatablowholeisanostril(鼻孔)slightlychangedbyevolutionintoaformmoreusefulforamammalthatspendsitslifeatsea.Andonlyadedicatedexpertwouldknowthatwhiletoothedwhales,suchasspermwhales,haveonehole,baleenwhales,suchashumpbackandRice’swhales,havetwo.Evenamongthebaleenwhales,theplacingofthosenostrilsdiffers.Insomespecies,theyareclosetogether.Inothers,theyaremuchfurtherapart.InapaperpublishedinBiologyLettersConorRyan,amarinebiologistattheScottishAssociationforMarineScience,suggestswhythatmightbe.Havingtwonostrils,heargues,helpswhalessmellinstereo(立体空间).Manytypesofbaleenwhaleseattinyanimalsknownaszooplankton(浮游动物),whichtheycatchbyfilteringthemfromseawaterusingthesheetsoffibrousbaleenthathavereplacedteethintheirmouths.Buttoeatsomethingyoufirsthavetofindit.Toothedwhalesdonothuntbyscent.Infact,theolfactory(嗅觉的)bulb(球状物)—thepartofthebrainthatprocessessmell—isabsentinsuchcreatures.Butbaleenwhalesstillhaveolfactorybulbs,whichsuggestssmellremainsimportant.Andscentcanindeedgivezooplanktonaway.Zooplanktonliketoeatothertinycreaturescalledphytoplankton(浮游植物).Whentheseareunderattack,theyreleaseaspecialgascalleddim-ethylsulphide(二甲硫),whichinturnattractsbaleenwhales.Mostanimalshavestereoscopicsenses.Havingtwoeyes,forinstance,allowsananimaltocomparetheimagesfromeachinordertoperceivedepth.Havingtwoearsletsthemlocatethedirectionfromwhichasoundiscoming.Dr.Ryantheorizedthatpairedblowholesmightbringbaleenwhalesthesamesortsofbenefits.Thefartherapartthesensoryorgansare,themoreinformationcanbeextractedbytheanimalthatbearsthem.Theresearchersuseddronestophotographthenostrilsof143whalesbelongingto14differentspecies.Sureenough,baleenwhalesthatofteneatzooplankton,suchastheNorthAtlanticrightwhale(北大西洋露脊鲸),havenostrilsthatarefartherapartthanthose,suchashumpbackwhales(座头鲸),thateatzooplanktonoccasionally.Besidesallowingthemtobreathe,itseemsthatsomewhalesusetheirblowholestodetermineinwhichdirectiondinnerlies.12.Whatdoweknowaboutwhales’nostrilsaccordingtothefirsttwoparagraphs?A.Theyaredevelopedmerelyforsmell.
