　　【语篇解读】 本文讲述了为什么有时我们感觉一节课时间过得很快，有时过

　　得很慢，这主要是因为人的大脑对于一个任务的专注程度不同。当大脑专注于一个任务的多个方面时，它的精力就会被分散，因而就转移了对时间的注意。　

　　1．A.guess

　　B．learn

　　C．believe

　　D．doubt

　　答案　C　[考查语境与动词的辨析。课间十分钟玩得很开心，时间在不知不觉中就过去了。此处用can't believe表示对这段时间飞快流逝的惊讶与感叹。]

　　2．A.view

　　B．point

　　C．scene

　　D．experience

　　答案　C　[考查语境与名词的辨析。上文提到的是一种特定的心理场面，而不是人所经历的某一件具体的事情，故此处表示如果你对这个场景熟悉的话。scene意为“情景，场面”。]

　　3．A.drags

　　B．stops

　　C．backs

　　D．gains

　　答案　A　[考查上下文的语境。根据文中倒数第二段的解释可得知答案。也可从此处与前面相同的结构推出答案。drag“过得很慢，拖沓地进行”。]

　　4．A.thought over

　　B．made up

　　C．came out

　　D．come up with

　　答案　D　[考查动词短语的辨析。think over意为“仔细考虑”；make up意为“组成”；come out意为“出现，露出”；come up with意为“找到，提出”。科学家是以实验为基础进行研究而给出的一种解释。]

　　5．A.change

　　B．develop

　　C．grow

　　D．slow

　　答案　A　[考查上下文的语境。联系下文的实验可知，当人的大脑集中于一个任务的多个方面时，就变得比较活跃，反之，则变得不那么活跃。所以当大脑所注意的任务不同时，大脑的活动状态是不一样的。故A项符合题意。]

　　6．A.sleepy

　　B．bored

　　C．excited

　　D．active

　　答案　B　[考查上下文的语境。联系上下文可知，人在比较厌烦或感到无事可做的时候，才感觉时间过得很慢。]

　　7．A.report

　　B．think

　　C．decide

　　D．see

　　答案　B　[考查生活常识。时间过得很慢只是人的主观感受。]

　　8．A.produced

　　B．carried

　　C．tried

　　D．performed

　　答案　D　[考查语境与动词搭配。空白处所缺的词作定语，应与前面的experiment构成动宾关系，结合下文进行的实验可知，只有D项符合。B项若为carried out也是正确答案。]

　　9．A.so

　　B．when

　　C．while

　　D．but

　　答案　C　[考查语境与逻辑关系，此处用while强调在实验过程中，被实验者与研究人员的任务对比关系。]

　　答案　D　[考查上下文的语境。根据后面的“then...third”可得知答案。]

　　11．A.remember

　　B．focus on

　　C．forget

　　D．tell apart

　　答案　B　[考查上下文的语境。根据下文第29空后的解释可知，实验的目的是让大脑不停地专注于一个任务的多个方面。]

　　12．A.researchers

　　B．experiment

　　C．clock

　　D．brain

　　答案　D　[考查语境。此处指被研究人员的大脑思维比较活跃。]

　　13．A.much

　　B．many

　　C．less

　　D．more

　　答案　D　[考查上下文的语境。结合上文的实验可知，研究人员是让实验者的大脑专注于一个任务的多个方面。由上文中的“brain was more active”中的more可知，答案为D。]

　　14．A.busy

　　B．likely

　　C．ready

　　D．sure

　　答案　A　[考查语境与固定短语搭配。be busy doing...意为“忙于……”，为固定搭配；be likely to do...意为“可能做……”；be ready to do...意为“准备做……”；be sure of/about意为“对……确信”。答案为A。]

　　15．A.focus

　　B．gather

　　C．reach

　　D．spread

　　答案　D　[考查上下文的语境。联系上下文可知，当大脑专注于一个任务的多个方面时，它的精力就会被分散，因而就转移了对时间的注意。spread意为“使分散，使分布”，符合题意。]

　　16．A.However

　　B．Furthermore

　　C．Therefore

　　D．Finally

　　答案　C　[考查语境。此处是上述实验所得出的一个结论。]

　　17．A.recognizing

　　B．watching

　　C．noticing

　　D．counting

　　答案　C　[考查上下文的语境。根据此处的语境可知，此处是指不管我们有没有注意时间，时间都在流逝。]

　　18．A.enough

　　B．full

　　C．right

　　D．proper

　　答案　B　[考查语境与形容词的辨析。right和proper意为“正确的，恰当的”，同义，可排除；enough意为“足够的”，上下文没有相应的语境，可排除；full意为“最大量的，尽量多的”，符合语境。如果大脑不太活跃的话，就会把大量的精力集中在计算时间的流逝上。]

　　19．A.In fact

　　B．As a result

　　C．For example

　　D．Instead of

　　答案　B　[考查上下文的语境。本句是根据前面的分析得出的结论。]

　　20．A.in class

　　B．with work

　　C．in mind

　　D．of lessons

　　答案　A　[考查上下文的语境。本句与文章第一段相对应，是对第一段在课堂上出现的问题的一种解决方法。另外，根据文章最后一句也可得出答案。]

　　BOLSE，Idaho—Among traditional houses on Boise Avenue，MarkLung，a former ecology professor，is working hard at bales(大捆)of straw(稻草)and mixing mud.

　　He is building a new home using local，recycled agricultural waste to build walls.The mud，sand，straw and water will be used both inside and outside of the house instead of bricks and paint.

　　“ Similar in appearance to Southwestern adobes，straw­bale structures are earth­friendly and energy­efficient，” Lung said.

　　Unlike the wall in a typical home，which is about 6 inches thick，a straw­bale wall is 18 to 23 inches thick，providing greater protection for the house against winter cold，summer heat and sound.Fire and pests are not a problem，either.

　　“Straw makes sense.It might be the building material of the future，”

　　Lung said.“It is a cheap and easily renewable(可再生的)building material.”

　　Lung lived in a straw­bale house in Gunnison，Colo.，before moving to Boise.While there，he carefully set down the temperatures over a period of time.The outside temperature changed from 20 to 80 degrees.Inside，the temperature stayed between 68 and 72—there is no need to use heating or cooling equipment.

　　The cost of building a straw­bale home is lower than a traditional home.The materials—straw，sand and clay—are cheaper.

　　To build his home，Lung bought 250 bales at $2 a bale from a Meridian farmer.Lung is providing much of the labor himself and is using recycled materials，which brought the costs down to about $86 a square foot—he's spending about $165,000，not including land.

　　Building the 1,900­square­foot home with traditional materials would have cost Lung about MYM103 per square foot.

　　Lung is sharing his building experience with other builders，experts and students.He said that almost every day，curious visitors “come and ask about the house.” Lung gives them a tour and explains what he is building and why.

　　“However，straw­bale homes still haven't caught on with the mainstream，maybe because city codes have not been updated to allow them，” he said.

　　【语篇解读】 曾经的生态学教授用稻草建造了环保节能的房屋。

　　25．The advantage of Mark Lung's home is that________.

　　A．it has thin walls to save space

　　B．it can keep much fresh air in the house

　　C．it benefits the earth and costs less money

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文章第三段的straw­bale structures are earth­friendly and energy­efficient可知该房子的最大优点就是环保节能。故选C项。]

　　A．his houses saves energy

　　B．his house is of great value

　　C．he is an expert in building houses

　　D．he is interested in climate change

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据文章第六段最后一句话可知，这样的房子内温度变化小，不需要再使用增温或降温设备，因而更加节能，故选A项。]

　　27．What do we know about Mark Lung from the passage?

　　A．He builds his house all by himself.

　　B．He thinks highly of straw as a building material.

　　C．He hasn't lived in a straw­bale house before yet.

　　D．He studied Southwestern adobes to build his house.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文章第五段中他所说的话及全文的描述可知，他对将稻草作建筑材料的做法是极其赞赏的，故选B项。]
