18、o 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 appearing to slow down is when you are hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up a
19、t 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 our perception of time changes when something new happens, Vincent Walsh and his colleague
20、s 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 shorter or longer. They altered the length of this gap until the volunteers estimated it w
21、as 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 the subjects right ear, but the other four were then played to their left. Again, the vol
22、unteers 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 much shorter than it is makes you feel as though the world has gone into slow motion. Walsh
23、 thinks the effect could have evolved to give us a fraction more time to react to potentially threatening events.（分数：10.00）(1).After you noticed a car hurtling towards you, you might feel that_.（分数：2.00）A.the world around you had slowed downB.something bad was going to happenC.life had suddenly beco

28、gs 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, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand close together when they talk, of
29、ten 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 most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in
30、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 applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent which they lean over one another in conversation,
31、 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 as it comes! Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfortable zone“ for talking, they communicate , a great
32、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; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a childs head in aff
33、ection, 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 bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left-hand. (The left hand carries no special signifi
34、cance in the U. S. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more.)（分数：10.00）(1).In terms of bodily distance, North Americans_.（分数：2.00）A.are similar to South AmericansB.stand farthest apartC.feel ill at ease when too closeD.move nearer during conversations(2).For Asians, the comfortab

37、body language.C.It concerns cultural differences between the East and the West.D.It concerns distance and bodily contact.Everyone knows a stone bounces 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 co
38、mpetitions, like world champion Jerdone Coleman-McGhee, who made a stone bounce 38 times on Blanco River, Texas, in 1992. Intuitively, a flat stone works best because a relatively large part of its surface strikes the water, so theres more bounce. Inspired by his eight-year-old son, physicist Lyderi
39、c 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, and 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.
40、 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 equations 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
41、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 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 l
42、ots 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.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following could be the best title for this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Stone-skimming Is a Sacred ThingB.International Stone-skimming Competitions
43、C.How to Make Stone-skimming More EnjoyableD.The Mathematical Formula for Stone-skimming(2).In order to make a stone bounce best on water, one needs to_.（分数：2.00）A.find a big, round stoneB.make the stone spin as fast as possibleC.reduce the spin of the stoneD.do some complicated mathematical equatio
44、ns(3).According to Lyderic Bocquet, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor influencing the bounces of a stone on water?（分数：2.00）A.The clearness of the water.B.The gravity of the Earth.C.The shape of the stone.D.The speed and spin.(4).Which of the following is not the reason why Lyderic
45、Bocquet supposed that spin is important?（分数：2.00）A.Because it keeps the stone fairly flat from one bounce to the next.B.Because the spin can 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 wat
46、er drag.(5).Lyderic Bocquet drilled lots of small pits in the stone in order to_.（分数：2.00）A.make it look smarterB.reduce the water dragC.increase the revolution of the stoneD.make the game more like golfIts a typical Snoopy card: cheerful message, bright colors, though a little yellow and faded now.
47、 Though Ive received fancier, more expensive card over the years, this is the only one Ive saved. One summer, it spoke volumes 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 been 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 uncertai
