题目内容
16.You have waited 45minutes for the valuable 10minutes'break.But when the bell for the next class rings,you can't believe how quickly time has passed.If you have this experience,you'll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored.Now scientists have come up with a reason why this happens.They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to our attention to a task.When we are bored,we pay more attention to how time is passing.And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.
Recently some researchers who went to understand the conditions carried out an experiment.In the experiment,twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored( 关注) their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to first notice how long a picture appeared,then the color of the picture,and third1y,study the both.The results showed that the brain was more active when the vo1unteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspect(方面) of a task,it has to spread its resources,and pays less attention to the clock.Therefore,time seems to go quickly.If the brain is not so active,it spends its full energy on the passing of time.As a result,time seems to move slowly.

解答 71-75 BDCAC
71.答案B.词义猜测题.划线单词"drags"的意思可能是什么?慢慢地过.根据If you have this experience,you'll know how time flies when you are having fun and drags when you are bored.据句意,如果你有经验,你就会知道当你玩得开心的时候,时间过得飞快,而当你无聊时,时间却走得慢吞吞.故选B.
72.答案D.细节理解题.科学家发现了什么?根据They have found that the brain changes its way to work according to how we direct our attention to a task.可知,大脑在不同的情况下用不同的方式工作.故选D.
73.答案C.细节理解题.根据第三段In the experiment,twelve volunteers watched a picture while researchers monitored( 关注) their brain activity可知,参与实验的志愿者观看图片,而科学家们关注他们的脑部活动.故选C.
74.答案A.细节理解题.据短文下面哪个是对的?根据It is thought that if the brain is busy noticing many aspects(方面)of a task,it has to spread its resources,and pays less attention to the clock.Therefore,time seems to go quickly.与Next time you feel bored in class,perhaps you should concentrate(专心于) on what the teacher is saying.可知,专注在事情上是让人们不乏味的方法.故选A.
