17、uare brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Have you ever felt your life go into slow motion as you realize something bad is happening? Now scientists have measured exactly how much these attention-grabbing events slow down our perception of the world around us. An example of the world ap
18、pearing to slow down is when you are hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up at the other end. If your attention wanders while youre waiting, then suddenly switches back, you will probably hear what seems like a longer than usual silence before hearing the dialing tone again. To see how
19、our perception of time changes when something new happens, Vincent Walsh and his colleagues put headphones on volunteers and played eight beeps to their right ears. The gap between each beep was exactly 1 second, except for the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps, which the scientists could make
20、shorter or longer. They altered the length of this gap until the volunteers estimated it was the same length as the other gaps. The researchers found that, on average, people judge a second slightly short, at 955 milliseconds. In the second part of the experiment, the first four beeps were played to
21、 the subjects right ear, but the other four were then played to their left. Again, the volunteers were asked to estimate when the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps was the same as the others. This time they judged a second to be even shorter at 825 milliseconds long. Perceiving a second to be m
22、uch shorter than it is makes you feel as though the world has gone into slow motion. Walsh thinks the effect could have evolved to give us a fraction more time to react to potentially threatening events. 21 After you noticed a car hurtling towards you, you might feel that_. （ A） the world around you
23、 had slowed down （ B） something bad was going to happen （ C） life had suddenly become meaningless （ D） peoples life was so fragile 22 According to the passage, hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up at the other end, you might_. （ A） have a high concentration of mind （ B） feel very anno
24、yed at the people on the other end （ C） be unable to hear the dialing tone （ D） feel time is somehow slowed down 23 Vincent Walsh and his colleagues did the experiment in order to_. （ A） observe how peoples perception of time changes （ B） find out the relationship between time and life （ C） study ho
25、w time changes at the 4 th and 5 th beeps （ D） see which ear is more sensitive to beeps 24 What have Vincent and his colleagues found through the experiment? （ A） The left ear of people is more sensitive than the right one. （ B） People judge a second to be slightly shorter than it really is. （ C） Re
26、search subjects are less accurate than researchers in judging a second. （ D） Normally a second is in fact either 955 milliseconds or 825 milliseconds. 25 Which is the best title for the passage? （ A） How People Find Out the Secret of the Time （ B） Which Ear Is Better （ C） How People Perceive the Wor
27、ld Around Us at Some Moment （ D） The Relationship Between Temperature and Perception 25 Do you know that all human beings have a “comfortable zone“ regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures. Greeks, oth
28、ers of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel m
29、ost comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe. This difference app
30、lies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue, or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it a
31、s it comes! Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfortable zone“ for talking, they communicate , a great deal with their handsnot only with gestures but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a persons shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy;
32、 they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a childs head in affection, they readily take someones arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many peopleespecially those from Asia or the Muslim countriessuch bodi
33、ly contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left-hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U. S. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more.) 26 In terms of bodily distance, North Americans_. （ A） are similar to South Americans （ B） stand fa
34、rthest apart （ C） feel ill at ease when too close （ D） move nearer during conversations 27 For Asians, the comfortable zone_. （ A） implies esteem （ B） measures 21 inches （ C） varies according to status （ D） is deliberately determined 28 It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator,
35、 a Frenchman would_. （ A） behave in the same way as an American would （ B） be afraid of bodily contact （ C） make no particular effort to distance himself from the crowd （ D） do his best to leave 29 When Americans tell a joke, they often_. （ A） pat people on the head （ B） give people a hug （ C） dig p
36、eople in the ribs （ D） touch people on the arm 30 What does the passage mainly concern? （ A） It concerns hand signals. （ B） It concerns body language. （ C） It concerns cultural differences between the East and the West. （ D） It concerns distance and bodily contact. 30 Everyone knows a stone bounces
37、best on water if its round and flat, and spun towards the water as fast as possible. Some enthusiasts even travel to international stone-skimming competitions, like world champion Jerdone Coleman-McGhee, who made a stone bounce 38 times on Blanco River, Texas, in 1992. Intuitively, a flat stone work
38、s best because a relatively large part of its surface strikes the water, so theres more bounce. Inspired by his eight-year-old son, physicist Lyderic Bocquet wanted to find out more. He tinkered with some simple equations describing a stone bouncing on water in terms of its radius, speed and spin, a
39、nd taking account of gravity and the waters drag. The equations showed that the faster a spinning stone is travelling, the more times it will bounce. To bounce at least once without sinking, Bocquet found the stone needs to be travelling at a minimum speed of about 1 kilometre per hour. The equation
40、s also backed his hunch (直觉 ) that spin is important because it keeps the stone fairly flat from one bounce to the next. The spin has a gyroscopic (陀螺的 ) effect, preventing the stone from tipping and falling sideways into the water. To match the world record of 38 bounces using a 10-centimetre-wide
41、stone, Bocquet predicts it would have to be travelling at about 40 kilometres per hour and spinning at 14 revolutions a second. He adds that drilling lots of small pits in the stone would probably help, by reducing water drag in the same way that dim pies on a golf ball reduce air drag. 31 Which of
42、the following could be the best title for this passage? （ A） Stone-skimming Is a Sacred Thing （ B） International Stone-skimming Competitions （ C） How to Make Stone-skimming More Enjoyable （ D） The Mathematical Formula for Stone-skimming 32 In order to make a stone bounce best on water, one needs to_
43、. （ A） find a big, round stone （ B） make the stone spin as fast as possible （ C） reduce the spin of the stone （ D） do some complicated mathematical equations 33 According to Lyderic Bocquet, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor influencing the bounces of a stone on water? （ A） The cle
44、arness of the water. （ B） The gravity of the Earth. （ C） The shape of the stone. （ D） The speed and spin. 34 Which of the following is not the reason why Lyderic Bocquet supposed that spin is important? （ A） Because it keeps the stone fairly flat from one bounce to the next. （ B） Because the spin ca
45、n create a gyroscopic effect. （ C） Because the gyroscope can prevent the stone from tipping and falling sideways into the water. （ D） Because the spin can reduce the water drag. 35 Lyderic Bocquet drilled lots of small pits in the stone in order to_. （ A） make it look smarter （ B） reduce the water d
46、rag （ C） increase the revolution of the stone （ D） make the game more like golf 35 Its a typical Snoopy card: cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now. Though Ive received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one Ive saved. One summer, it spoke v
47、olumes to me. I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housework: leaky taps, oil changes, even barbeques (烧烤 ). Those had always b
48、een my husbands jobs. I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldnt get the lawnmower (割草机 ) started. My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Clearly, I lacked the tools and skills. On this particular morning,
49、my girls pushed me into the living room to see something. (I prayed it wasnt another repair job.) The “something“ turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed from the colorful packages to my daughters bright faces. “Go ahead! Open them!“ They urged. As I unwrapped the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill (烧
