四.短文填空(每小题2分,共20分)
A
When we are children, the holidays seem to last forever. But later we may find that time just seems to fly by. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
According to a report, our brains degrade as we get older. That decreases the amount of information we can deal with in a single day. "The human mind senses time changing when the perceived(感知到的) images change," Adrian Bejan from Duke University, US, said. "The present is different from the past because the mental viewing has changed, not because somebody's clock rings."
Infants(幼儿), for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they're processing(处理) images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amount of information and do many things in a single day.This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they were happening more quickly.
Apart from the degradation of our brains, some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently.
People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled(回忆) within a certain period. When we think about our youth, we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, for example, our first-time travelling without our parents, or our first date. We experienced these events so vividly that time then seemed to have passed very slowly. According to David Eagleman of Baylor College of Medicine in the US, recalling these memories makes us feel like they took forever.
Many adults find life is routine and sometimes dull. For this reason, when they look back, they might feel like there are not many exciting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
1.What does the underlined word "degrade" mean?
A. Become better. B. Become worse.
C. Remain the same. D. Become smaller.
2.How do people sense time changing according to Adrian Bejan?
A. It depends on how their clocks change.
B. It depends on how the views around them change.
C. It depends on how often they move their eyes.
D. It depends on how the images they perceived change.
3.Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
A. Because our life will become routine and dull when we grow older.
B. Because the degradation of our brains will make it slower to recall memories.
C. Because we'll deal with less information in the same amount of time.
D. Because we won't have first-time activities when we grow older.
4.What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?
A. To tell us that first-time activities are vivid and memorable.
B. To tell us that first-time events can make time pass slowly.
C. To tell us that psychological reasons make people sense time differently.
D. To tell us that people should measure time by the number of memorable events.
5.If you were an adult aged 45, what could you do to seemingly slow down your time flow?
A. Dream of reaching the future.
B. Try something new and interesting.
C. Work around the clock as usual.
D. Remember exciting things.
小时候我们总觉得假期很漫长,但随着年龄的增长,我们会发现时间似乎过得很快。本文对此现象作出了解释。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的"那使我们一天内能处理的信息量减少了"可推知,随着年龄的增长,我们的大脑会"退化",即"变得更差"。故答案为B。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的"The human mind senses time changing when the perceived(感知到的) images change"可知答案为D。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的"However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time…This causes things to seem as though they were happening more quickly"可知答案为C。
4.C 推理判断题。第四段为承上启下的段落,根据该段中的"some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently"以及第五段内容可知,第五段从心理学的角度阐述了人们对时间的感知不同的原因。
5.B 推理判断题。根据文章可知童年时因为有一些有趣且新鲜的事情让我们觉得时间过得特别慢。所以为了让时间流动看上去减速,我们要尝试一些新的,有趣的事情。故选B。

It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. "My mobile phone, my mobile phone, my mobile phone," my son kept moaning(呻吟). In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool, gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt nothing.
Back at home, I'd soon give up and hand the phone back to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.
But not here. Before we set out, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule — no emails, no social media, no video games, and no mobile phone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn't stand it.
▲ I walked down the lawn(草坪) to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.
On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and left him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.
On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and emails.

阅读短文,用英语回答问题。
The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you do not believe me, please consider these six reasons to read more books.
You will make your brain power better.
This shouldn't come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp.
You will increase your chances of success.
The more books you read, the more knowledge you will have, the more ways and resources your brain will store, the more likely you will succeed.
You will have things to talk about at parties.
Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, "Did you know…?" more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers.
You will enlarge your vocabulary.
The more words you're able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn't imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn't actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get boring.
You will enjoy a good night's sleep.
Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night's sleep, if you do so late at night. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better choice.
Books can change your life.
I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn't have achieved in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity.
I hope these reasons can encourage you to unlock your power of reading.

阅读下面短文,并回答下列问题。
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered (递送)? This was how things worked not very long ago.Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends.Social media tools (社交媒体工具)let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.
The digital (数字的)age also enables us to find people who share our interests.Whatever our hobbies are, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you make friends with people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful.But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems.On the Internet, nobody knows who you are.A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.Although technology has changed the way we acquire (获得)friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
1.Why has the way we communicate and make friends changed?

2. How can we stay in touch with our faraway friends?

When we are children, the holidays seem to last forever. But later we may find that time just seems to fly by. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
According to a report, our brains degrade as we get older. That decreases the amount of information we can deal with in a single day. "The human mind senses time changing when the perceived(感知到的) images change," Adrian Bejan from Duke University, US, said. "The present is different from the past because the mental viewing has changed, not because somebody's clock rings."
Infants(幼儿), for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they're processing(处理) images at a faster rate. They deal with a large amount of information and do many things in a single day.This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. However, as people get older, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they were happening more quickly.
Apart from the degradation of our brains, some psychological reasons also make us experience time differently.
People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled(回忆) within a certain period. When we think about our youth, we may remember a life packed with first-time activities, for example, our first-time travelling without our parents, or our first date. We experienced these events so vividly that time then seemed to have passed very slowly. According to David Eagleman of Baylor College of Medicine in the US, recalling these memories makes us feel like they took forever.
Many adults find life is routine and sometimes dull. For this reason, when they look back, they might feel like there are not many exciting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.
1.What does the underlined word "degrade" mean?
A. Become better. B. Become worse.
C. Remain the same. D. Become smaller.
2.How do people sense time changing according to Adrian Bejan?
A. It depends on how their clocks change.
B. It depends on how the views around them change.
C. It depends on how often they move their eyes.
D. It depends on how the images they perceived change.
3.Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?
A. Because our life will become routine and dull when we grow older.
B. Because the degradation of our brains will make it slower to recall memories.
C. Because we'll deal with less information in the same amount of time.
D. Because we won't have first-time activities when we grow older.
4.What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?
A. To tell us that first-time activities are vivid and memorable.
B. To tell us that first-time events can make time pass slowly.
C. To tell us that psychological reasons make people sense time differently.
D. To tell us that people should measure time by the number of memorable events.
5.If you were an adult aged 45, what could you do to seemingly slow down your time flow?
A. Dream of reaching the future.
B. Try something new and interesting.
C. Work around the clock as usual.
D. Remember exciting things.

It was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. "My mobile phone, my mobile phone, my mobile phone," my son kept moaning(呻吟). In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool, gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt nothing.
Back at home, I'd soon give up and hand the phone back to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.
But not here. Before we set out, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule — no emails, no social media, no video games, and no mobile phone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn't stand it.
▲ I walked down the lawn(草坪) to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.
On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and left him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.
The next few days passed in peace.
On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and emails.
A week's life away from all the electronics(电子设备) is good.

C. I just walked outside to leave him alone.
D. I gave him his iPhone and let him stay inside.

The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you do not believe me, please consider these six reasons to read more books.
You will make your brain power better.
This shouldn't come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp.
You will increase your chances of success.
The more books you read, the more knowledge you will have, the more ways and resources your brain will store, the more likely you will succeed.
You will have things to talk about at parties.
Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, "Did you know…?" more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers.
You will enlarge your vocabulary.
The more words you're able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn't imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn't actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get boring.
You will enjoy a good night's sleep.
Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night's sleep, if you do so late at night. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better choice.
Books can change your life.
I firmly believe that if it were not for books, I wouldn't have achieved in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity.
I hope these reasons can encourage you to unlock your power of reading.
1.Why does reading make your brain more powerful?
_____________________________________________________________________
2.How does reading increase your chances of success?

阅读下面短文,并回答下列问题。
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered (递送)? This was how things worked not very long ago.Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends.Social media tools (社交媒体工具)let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.
The digital (数字的)age also enables us to find people who share our interests.Whatever our hobbies are, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you make friends with people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful.But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems.On the Internet, nobody knows who you are.A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater.Although technology has changed the way we acquire (获得)friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
1.Why has the way we communicate and make friends changed?
_____________________________________________________________________
2. How can we stay in touch with our faraway friends?
_____________________________________________________________________
3.How can online friendships become real and meaningful?

4.What does "throw the baby out with the bathwater"mean in Chinese?
