问题     Oftentimes when we cry, we feel a lump in the throat.
    Does a lump actually form, or is there some other explanation?
    The lump-like thing we feel when overcome by emotion has to do
of how the nervous system deals with stress.【S1】________
    The part of the nervous system that handles stress called the【S2】________
autonomic nervous system. It controls bodily functions what we do not【S3】________
consciously control, such as digesting food and pumping blood through
the heart.
    However,  the autonomic nervous system is also important in
dealing with emotional states.
    When an animal encounters a stressed situation,  its autonomic【S4】________
nervous system kicks in to allow it to either fight or run away. It does
this by increasing the flow of blood and oxygen to the necessary muscles.
    The same applies for humans. Even when we experience emotions【S5】________
such as grief or sorrow, the autonomic nervous system responds as it
would to anger or fear by decreasing the flow of oxygen through the【S6】________
body. To increase oxygen intake, the autonomic nervous system makes
us breathe slower, and expands the glottis, the opening in the throat that【S7】________
allows air to flow from the larynx to the lungs.
    The extension of the glottis in and of itself does not create a lumpy【S8】________
feeling, until we try to swallow.  Since swallowing involves in closing【S9】________
the glottis,  this works against the muscles that close the glottis in【S10】________
response to crying.
    We experience the resulting muscle tension as a lump in the throat. [br] 【S6】
选项
答案 decreasing—increasing
解析 语义错误。该句意为“即使我们经历悲伤或悲痛这类情绪时，自主神经系统也会像应对愤怒和恐惧情绪般，增加身体的氧气流量。”根据上下文以及句中的as可知，人们在应对悲伤或悲痛的情绪时会增加身体的氧气流量，故将decreasing改为increasing。
