That time is somehow racing away from you, and it is impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed. It’s not just you — recent research showed nature can control our sense of time. Richardo Correia, the researcher at the University of Finland, found that being in nature may change how we experience time and perhaps, even give us the sense of time abundance (充裕). Correia compared people’s experiences of time when they performed different types of tasks in cities and natural environments. It showed that people reported a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in cities. For example, a walk through the countryside felt longer than a city walk of the same distance. It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed by the natural world, and it’s also our sense of the past and future. Earlier research shows that spending time in nature helps to move our focus from the immediate (目前的) moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands (需求) on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. This can help us focus on what’s important so that we meet our long-term goals. This is partly because spending time in nature appears to make us less impulsive (冲动的), enabling us to think more about future benefits instead of wanting immediate ones. 6. How might you feel when you walk in the countryside? A. Everything remains the same. B. Time is racing away from you. C. There are less hours in the day. D. Things seem to go at a slower speed. 7. In what way did Correia carry out the research? A. By doing online surveys. B. By interviewing experts. C. By making comparisons. D. By reviewing earlier studies. 8. What does the underlined word “expanded” probably mean? A. Real. B. Lost. C. Passing. D. Increased. 9. How does nature help with our sense of the future? A. By meeting our needs. B. By changing our focus. C. By showing us pictures. D. By reminding us of the past. 10. Which is the best title for the passage? A. What differences time brings us. B. Where our sense of time has gone. C. Why we lose sense of time in nature. D. How nature changes our sense of time. 【答案】6. D 7. C 8. D 9. B 10. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了大自然可以控制我们的时间感。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed.”可知，在乡村散步感觉时间过得很慢，很放松。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Correia compared people’s experiences of time when they performed different types of tasks in cities and natural environments.”可知，是通过比较进行研究。故选C。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“It showed that people reported a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in cities. For example, a walk through the countryside felt longer than a city walk of the same distance.”可知，与在城市里相比，人们在大自然中感到时间延长了。例如，在同样距离的情况下，在乡村散步比在城市散步感觉要长，故此处划线部分意为“增加”，和Increased意义相近。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Earlier research shows that spending time in nature helps to move our focus from the immediate (目前的) moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands (需求) on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture.”可知。花时间在大自然中有助于将我们的注意力从眼前转移到未来的需求上，因此，大自然帮助我们看到更大的图景，而不是关注时间需求带来的压力，所以自然是通过转移我们的注意力帮助我们感知未来。故选B。 【10题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了大自然可以控制我们的时间感，从而改变我们对时间的感知。故选D。 C People often decide where to live based on the natural resources in the area. Natural resources are things that are useful to people and come from the earth. Materials for building houses are natural resources. So are foods, such as fruits, vegetables, animals that could be caught or hunted and water. You may not think of the mountains, lakes or oceans as natural resources. In fact they are. The weather and land forms let certain things grow in different areas. They also decide which living things will be able to grow there. Areas with very rich soil are made to be good farming communities. Poor soil may send farmers to look for better places. But it may attract those who have other purposes for the land. Poor soil doesn’t matter if you want to build a factory. It also doesn’t matter if it grows grass well. Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes. Areas that support many different interests will naturally have larger populations. Villages and cities built near water sources have been the most successful. People who want to catch fish for a living choose to live by the ocean, instead of the desert. Places that are difficult to reach will naturally have fewer people. Places that are high on mountain tops are not liked by most people. Neither are places that are in the middle of hot, dry deserts. For too long, humans have destroyed resources. We have been using up those that can’t be easily replaced. We are lucky to have many renewable (可再生的) resources, such as the sun, wind, water and trees. We need to use more renewable resources. This will protect our planet. 11. Which of the following does NOT belong to natural resources? A. Animals that could be caught. B. Beds, tables and chairs. C. The mountains, lakes and oceans. D. Materials for building houses. 12. What are areas with very rich soil just right for? A. Fishing. B. Farming. C. Building factories. D. Keeping animals. 13. What does the underlined word “attract” mean? A. Help someone. B. Keep someone away. C. Make people bored. D. Make people interested in. 14. Which is a wrong description of mountain tops? A. Fewer people live there. B. It’s hot and dry on them. C. Most people dislike them. D. They are usually hard to reach. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. An area’s weather B. Perfect living places C. Natural resources D. Renewable resources 【答案】11. B 12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了自然资源的一些情况。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Materials for building houses are natural resources. So are foods, such as fruits, vegetables, animals that could be caught or hunted and water. You may not think of the mountains, lakes or oceans as natural resources. In fact they are.”可知，可能被捕获或猎杀的动物，山脉、湖泊和海洋以及建造房屋的材料都是自然资源，故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Areas with very rich soil are made to be good farming communities”可知，土壤非常肥沃的地区是良好的农业社区，故选B。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Poor soil may send farmers to look for better places. But it may attract those who have other purposes for the land.”可知，贫瘠的土壤可能促使农民寻找更好的土地，但它可能会吸引那些对这片土地有其他用途的人。此处attract的意思是“吸引”，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Places that are difficult to reach will naturally have fewer people. Places that are high on mountain tops are not liked by most people.”可知，交通不便的地方，人自然少，大多数人都不喜欢高山上的地方。选项B不符合对高山的描述，故选B。 【15题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍的是自然资源，用“Natural resources”做标题最合适。故选C。 D You probably think the music that your parents like is old and boring, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. ____16____ So it is likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar way to your parents’. Researchers at the University of Cambridge got data （数据） from more than 250 , 000 people over the past 10 years. ____17____ There are three musical periods （时期）: “exciting”“popular” and“sophisticated （高雅时髦的）”.

Because they need relaxing and emotive （激起感情的） music under the strong pressure of life. ____20____ Of course there are. But a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may be wanting to remind themselves of their youth at that time. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. Then they will like more“sophisticated”music better. B. They noticed that as people grow, their musical taste changes. C. But here is what scientists found: People’s musical taste changes with their ages. D. People prefer exciting music such as rock, because teenagers are always active. E.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章讲述了不同年龄阶段的人喜欢不同的音乐。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You probably think the music that your parents like is old and boring, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler.”和下文“So it is likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar way to your parents’.”可知，依据年龄，你和父母的音乐偏好，选项C“但科学家发现：人们的音乐品味随着年龄的增长而变化。”符合题意，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Researchers at the University of Cambridge got data （数据） from more than 250 , 000 people over the past 10 years.”和下文“There are three musical periods （ 时期）: ‘exciting’‘popular’and‘sophisticated （高雅时髦的）’.”可知，剑桥大学的研究人员从数据知道的三个音乐时期，选项B“他们注意到, 随着人们的成长，他们的音乐品味也会发生变化。”符合题意，故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The first period comes in the teenage years.”可知，第一个时期是在青少年时期。, 选项D“人们喜欢激动人心的音乐，如摇滚乐，因为青少年总是很活跃。”符合题意，故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“When middle age comes, things have settled down （安定下来） for most people.” 可知，中年来临时，大多数人的生活都安定下来了，选项A“然后他们会更喜欢‘高雅时髦的’音乐”符合题意。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Of course there are. But a research member explained that their reasons for listening to rock music may be wanting to remind themselves of their youth at that time. ”可知，此处在谈摇滚乐，结合E“但你一定在想：‘难道没有老年人仍然喜欢摇滚乐吗?’”符合题意，故选E。 三、完形填空(15 小题，每小题1分，共15分) Johnny, a lizard (蜥蜴), lived between some rocks in the country, where he liked sunbathing every morning.

B Do you ever feel like there’s not enough time in the day? That time is somehow racing away from you, and it is impossible to fit everything in. But then, you step outside into the countryside and suddenly everything seems slower, more relaxed, like time has somehow changed. It’s not just you — recent research showed nature can control our sense of time. Richardo Correia, the researcher at the University of Finland, found that being in nature may change how we experience time and perhaps, even give us the sense of time abundance (充裕). Correia compared people’s experiences of time when they performed different types of tasks in cities and natural environments. It showed that people reported a sense of expanded time when they were in nature compared to when they were in cities. For example, a walk through the countryside felt longer than a city walk of the same distance. It’s not just our sense of time in the moment which appears to be changed by the natural world, and it’s also our sense of the past and future. Earlier research shows that spending time in nature helps to move our focus from the immediate (目前的) moment towards our future needs. So rather than focusing on the stress of the demands (需求) on our time, nature helps us to see the bigger picture. This can help us focus on what’s important so that we meet our long-term goals. This is partly because spending time in nature appears to make us less impulsive (冲动的), enabling us to think more about future benefits instead of wanting immediate ones. 6. How might you feel when you walk in the countryside? A. Everything remains the same. B. Time is racing away from you. C. There are less hours in the day. D. Things seem to go at a slower speed. 7. In what way did Correia carry out the research? A. By doing online surveys. B. By interviewing experts. C. By making comparisons. D. By reviewing earlier studies. 8. What does the underlined word “expanded” probably mean? A. Real. B. Lost. C. Passing. D. Increased. 9. How does nature help with our sense of the future? A. By meeting our needs. B. By changing our focus. C. By showing us pictures. D. By reminding us of the past. 10. Which is the best title for the passage? A. What differences time brings us. B. Where our sense of time has gone. C. Why we lose sense of time in nature. D. How nature changes our sense of time. C People often decide where to live based on the natural resources in the area. Natural resources are things that are useful to people and come from the earth. Materials for building houses are natural resources. So are foods, such as fruits, vegetables, animals that could be caught or hunted and water. You may not think of the mountains, lakes or oceans as natural resources. In fact they are. The weather and land forms let certain things grow in different areas. They also decide which living things will be able to grow there. Areas with very rich soil are made to be good farming communities. Poor soil may send farmers to look for better places. But it may attract those who have other purposes for the land. Poor soil doesn’t matter if you want to build a factory. It also doesn’t matter if it grows grass well. Each area attracts people based on their interests and purposes. Areas that support many different interests will naturally have larger populations. Villages and cities built near water sources have been the most successful. People who want to catch fish for a living choose to live by the ocean, instead of the desert. Places that are difficult to reach will naturally have fewer people. Places that are high on mountain tops are not liked by most people. Neither are places that are in the middle of hot, dry deserts. For too long, humans have destroyed resources. We have been using up those that can’t be easily replaced. We are lucky to have many renewable (可再生的) resources, such as the sun, wind, water and trees. We need to use more renewable resources. This will protect our planet. 11. Which of the following does NOT belong to natural resources? A. Animals that could be caught. B. Beds, tables and chairs. C. The mountains, lakes and oceans. D. Materials for building houses. 12. What are areas with very rich soil just right for? A. Fishing. B. Farming. C. Building factories. D. Keeping animals. 13. What does the underlined word “attract” mean? A. Help someone. B. Keep someone away. C Make people bored. D. Make people interested in. 14. Which is a wrong description of mountain tops? A. Fewer people live there. B. It’s hot and dry on them. C. Most people dislike them. D. They are usually hard to reach. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. An area’s weather B. Perfect living places C. Natural resources D. Renewable resources D You probably think the music that your parents like is old and boring, and the songs on your playlist are much cooler. ____16____ So it is likely that your own musical preference will follow a similar way to your parents’.
