Question

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes’break between classes.But when the bell for the next class rings，you can’t__36__how quickly time has passed.

If you are familiar with this__37__，you’ll know how time flies when you are having fun and__38__when you are bored.Now scientists have__39__a reason why this is the case.

Scans have shown that patterns of activity in the brain__40__according to how we focus on a task.When we are__41__，we concentrate (關注) more on how time is passing.And this makes our brains__42__the clock is ticking more slowly.

In an experiment__43__by a French laboratory,12 volunteers watched an image__44__researchers monitored their brain activity.

The volunteers were told to__45__concentrate on how long an image appeared for，then__46__the color of the image，and thirdly，study both duration and color.The results showed that__47__was more active when the volunteers paid__48__subjects.

It is thought that if the brain is__49__focusing on many aspects of a task，it has to__50__its resources，and pays less attention to the clock.

__51__，time passes without us really__52__it，and seems to go quickly.If the brain is not so active，it concentrates its__53__energies on monitoring the passing of time.__54__，time seems to drag.

Next time you feel bored__55__，perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!

Answer 1

36．C　根據(jù)上下文，此句意思應為你不相信時間過得這么快。believe相信；guess猜測；learn獲悉；doubt懷疑。

37．C　view觀點，見解；point點，要點；scene場面，情景；experience經驗，經歷。根據(jù)題意知，此處應填scene。

38．A　根據(jù)上下文可知此空應填與how time flies意義相反的詞，故選A。drag緩慢而費力地行動。

39．D　根據(jù)下文的experiment，可知此處是科學家們已經發(fā)現(xiàn)出現(xiàn)這種情況的原因，故選D。

40．A　由常識可知句意應為：電子掃描顯示大腦中的活動類型，根據(jù)我們怎樣集中于一項任務而變化。change變化，改變，符合題意。develop發(fā)展；grow生長；slow變得慢，延緩。

41．B　我們更關注時間的快慢的時候肯定是厭煩的時候，故選B。

42．B　report報道；think想，思考；decide決定，see看見。大腦應該是“想”，故選B。

43．D　做實驗應用perform。

44．C　根據(jù)句意12名志愿者和研究者的動作應是同時進行的，故選while。其他三項不合題意。

45．D　由后半句的then，thirdly可知，此處應填first。

46．B　根據(jù)上下文，應該是“注意”著圖像的顏色，故選B。其他選項不合題意。

47．D　根據(jù)第三段可知是對人腦做實驗，故選D。

48．D　pay attention to注意。本句的意思為：結果表明，當志愿者關注更多的物體時大腦更活躍。故此空應填more更多的。

49．A　由后面的many aspects可知，此空應填busy，be busy doing sth.忙于做某事。

50．D　focus集中；gather聚集；reach到達；spread傳播，符合題意。

51．C　總結上文應用therefore因此。however然而，表轉折；furthermore此外，不僅如此；finally最后。

52．C　本句意思是：時間過去了，我們沒有“注意”到。recognize認出；看出；watch注視；看；notice注意；count計算。

53．B　concentrate one’s full energies on集中全部的精力干……，符合題意。

54．B　in fact事實上；as a result結果是；for example例如；incase如果。根據(jù)上一句推知，此處是表示結果，選B。

55．A　由下文the teacher可推斷是在課堂上。
