本文講述了為什么有時(shí)我們感覺(jué)一節(jié)課時(shí)間過(guò)得很快，有時(shí)過(guò)得很慢，這主要是因?yàn)槿说拇竽X對(duì)于一個(gè)任務(wù)的專(zhuān)注程度不同。當(dāng)大腦專(zhuān)注于一個(gè)任務(wù)的多個(gè)方面時(shí)，它的精力就會(huì)被分散，因而就轉(zhuǎn)移了對(duì)時(shí)間的注意。1a.guess blearn cbelieve ddoubt答案c考查語(yǔ)境與動(dòng)詞的辨析。課間十分鐘玩得很開(kāi)心，時(shí)間在不知不覺(jué)中就過(guò)去了。此處用cant believe表示對(duì)這段時(shí)間飛快流逝的驚訝與感嘆。2a.view bpoint cscene dexperience答案c考查語(yǔ)境與名詞的辨析。上文提到的是一種特定的心理場(chǎng)面，而不是人所經(jīng)歷的某一件具體的事情，故此處表示如果你對(duì)這個(gè)場(chǎng)景熟悉的話。scene意為“情景，場(chǎng)面”。3a.drags bstops cbacks dgains答案a考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)文中倒數(shù)第二段的解釋可得知答案。也可從此處與前面相同的結(jié)構(gòu)推出答案。drag“過(guò)得很慢，拖沓地進(jìn)行”。4a.thought over bmade upccame out dcome up with答案d考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)的辨析。think over意為“仔細(xì)考慮”；make up意為“組成”；come out意為“出現(xiàn)，露出”；come up with意為“找到，提出”。科學(xué)家是以實(shí)驗(yàn)為基礎(chǔ)進(jìn)行研究而給出的一種解釋。5a.change bdevelop cgrow dslow答案a考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。聯(lián)系下文的實(shí)驗(yàn)可知，當(dāng)人的大腦集中于一個(gè)任務(wù)的多個(gè)方面時(shí)，就變得比較活躍，反之，則變得不那么活躍。所以當(dāng)大腦所注意的任務(wù)不同時(shí)，大腦的活動(dòng)狀態(tài)是不一樣的。故a項(xiàng)符合題意。6a.sleepy bbored cexcited dactive答案b考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。聯(lián)系上下文可知，人在比較厭煩或感到無(wú)事可做的時(shí)候，才感覺(jué)時(shí)間過(guò)得很慢。7a.report bthink cdecide dsee答案b考查生活常識(shí)。時(shí)間過(guò)得很慢只是人的主觀感受。8a.produced bcarried ctried dperformed答案d考查語(yǔ)境與動(dòng)詞搭配。空白處所缺的詞作定語(yǔ)，應(yīng)與前面的experiment構(gòu)成動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，結(jié)合下文進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)可知，只有d項(xiàng)符合。b項(xiàng)若為carried out也是正確答案。9a.so bwhen cwhile dbut答案c考查語(yǔ)境與邏輯關(guān)系，此處用while強(qiáng)調(diào)在實(shí)驗(yàn)過(guò)程中，被實(shí)驗(yàn)者與研究人員的任務(wù)對(duì)比關(guān)系。10a.partly bquickly cslowly dfirst答案d考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)后面的“then.third”可得知答案。11a.remember bfocus oncforget dtell apart答案b考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)下文第29空后的解釋可知，實(shí)驗(yàn)的目的是讓大腦不停地專(zhuān)注于一個(gè)任務(wù)的多個(gè)方面。12a.researchers bexperimentcclock dbrain答案d考查語(yǔ)境。此處指被研究人員的大腦思維比較活躍。13a.much bmany cless dmore答案d考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。結(jié)合上文的實(shí)驗(yàn)可知，研究人員是讓實(shí)驗(yàn)者的大腦專(zhuān)注于一個(gè)任務(wù)的多個(gè)方面。由上文中的“brain was more active”中的more可知，答案為d。14a.busy blikely cready dsure答案a考查語(yǔ)境與固定短語(yǔ)搭配。be busy doing.意為“忙于”，為固定搭配；be likely to do.意為“可能做”；be ready to do.意為“準(zhǔn)備做”；be sure of/about意為“對(duì)確信”。答案為a。15a.focus bgather creach dspread答案d考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。聯(lián)系上下文可知，當(dāng)大腦專(zhuān)注于一個(gè)任務(wù)的多個(gè)方面時(shí)，它的精力就會(huì)被分散，因而就轉(zhuǎn)移了對(duì)時(shí)間的注意。spread意為“使分散，使分布”，符合題意。16a.however bfurthermorectherefore dfinally答案c考查語(yǔ)境。此處是上述實(shí)驗(yàn)所得出的一個(gè)結(jié)論。17a.recognizing bwatchingcnoticing dcounting答案c考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)此處的語(yǔ)境可知，此處是指不管我們有沒(méi)有注意時(shí)間，時(shí)間都在流逝。18a.enough bfull cright dproper答案b考查語(yǔ)境與形容詞的辨析。right和proper意為“正確的，恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?，同義，可排除；enough意為“足夠的”，上下文沒(méi)有相應(yīng)的語(yǔ)境，可排除；full意為“最大量的，盡量多的”，符合語(yǔ)境。如果大腦不太活躍的話，就會(huì)把大量的精力集中在計(jì)算時(shí)間的流逝上。19a.in fact bas a resultcfor example dinstead of答案b考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。本句是根據(jù)前面的分析得出的結(jié)論。20a.in class bwith workcin mind dof lessons答案a考查上下文的語(yǔ)境。本句與文章第一段相對(duì)應(yīng)，是對(duì)第一段在課堂上出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題的一種解決方法。另外，根據(jù)文章最后一句也可得出答案。.閱讀理解athe 2012 preview of the new cars provides an excellent variety of cars. and it gives a
