Question

We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though,
we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.
In fact, this is one of the ways that we're tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of（失去對….的意識(shí)） time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (腎上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(細(xì)節(jié))over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps（午覺）． Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive（感知） time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

【小題5】B

解析試題分析：我們經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)周末和假期感覺時(shí)間總是很短，然而上課和工作時(shí)，總會(huì)感覺時(shí)間很長。是什么原因讓我們會(huì)有不同的感覺呢？短文在接下來進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的解釋。最后作者提出，時(shí)間可能是神秘的，我們是沒有辦法控制它，也許最好的辦法是利用好每一分鐘。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：依據(jù)短文，什么可能使人們感覺到時(shí)間如此的長？分析原文：We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. 句意：我們經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)周末和假期的時(shí)間很短，然而上課和工作的時(shí)間使人感覺很長。明確答案為第三項(xiàng)。故選C
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)的清單中，我們經(jīng)常會(huì)對時(shí)間產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)覺，下列哪一項(xiàng)不在其中？分析原文：Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (腎上腺素) when we are faced with danger. 句意： 當(dāng)我們面對危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候，我們的身體產(chǎn)生一種叫做腎上腺素。因此說明它不是我們的錯(cuò)覺。故選C
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：依據(jù)短文，在哪一種環(huán)境下，我們會(huì)產(chǎn)生對時(shí)間的錯(cuò)誤判斷？結(jié)合選項(xiàng)：第一項(xiàng)：我們還有許多難題沒有做，但是，時(shí)間到了。（由于還有題沒有做完，導(dǎo)致緊張，感覺時(shí)間很短。）； 第二項(xiàng)：當(dāng)我們從一個(gè)很高的地方掉下來，有一個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)考試。（兩者沒有任何關(guān)系）；第三項(xiàng)：一個(gè)長時(shí)間的睡眼之后，我們可能講述時(shí)間有困難。（描述中沒有對時(shí)間產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)覺）；第四項(xiàng)：在工作日，我們像工作日一樣乘公交車去上學(xué)。（沒有體現(xiàn)出對時(shí)間長短的錯(cuò)誤判斷）。故選A
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：依據(jù)短文，當(dāng)我們面對危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候，什么將不會(huì)發(fā)生？結(jié)合第五自然段的聯(lián)系，原文：It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(細(xì)節(jié))over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.句意：當(dāng)我們面對危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候，我們身體會(huì)產(chǎn)生腎上腺素，加強(qiáng)我們的生命。做為結(jié)果，我們可能會(huì)記住許多的細(xì)節(jié)，同時(shí)我們會(huì)感到時(shí)間很慢。通過短文的分析，只有第四項(xiàng)不正確。故選D
【小題5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題： 依據(jù)短文，下列描述哪一項(xiàng)不正確？結(jié)合原文：when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of（失去對……的意識(shí)）time.句意：當(dāng)我們很開心的時(shí)候，我們更加關(guān)注我們正在做什么而且沒有注意時(shí)間，因此感覺時(shí)過得很快。明確第二項(xiàng)描述不正確。故選B
