第四部分:任務(wù)型閱讀(共10小題;每小題l分,滿分10分)
請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意:每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)單詞。請將答案寫在答題卡上相應(yīng)題號(hào)的橫線上。
Experts debunk Maya doomsday(末日) predictions -- But that hasn't stopped books, movies from cashing in.
If the ancient Maya and filmmaker Roland Emmerich are correct, the apocalypse(大災(zāi)變) will happen very fast, maybe quicker than his new 2½-hour movie.
Predictions of global ruination are rippling around the globe with seismic(地震的) force, all loosely based on a 5,000-year Maya calendar that ends Dec. 21, 2012. Countless Web sites and blogs anticipate(預(yù)料) the end of days, as do various New Age groups and would-be prophets(預(yù)言者) offering guidance and how-to tips. On Amazon.com , you can read hundreds of book titles combining the year 2012 with terms such as “apocalypse,” “catastrophe” and “end of the world.”
As always, doomsday sells — and a lot of people are buying it.
“There's the psychobabble(心理囈語) aspect,” said Robert Epstein, former editor of Psychology Today magazine and a lecturer at the University of California San Diego. “It's the Sigmund Freud/death wish idea: People glom onto(對…感興趣) doomsday predictions because there's some small part of them that wants to die, and die spectacularly(壯觀的). I don't believe it, but it's one way to look at this.”
It's Emmerich's way. The German director specializes in wreaking havoc on an epic scale, from climatic cataclysm in 2004's “The Day After Tomorrow” to angry aliens and reptiles in “Independence Day” and “Godzilla.” In “2012,” he finishes the job.
The digitized disasters of “2012” are oversized, overwrought and sometimes literally over the top, as when a humongous tsunami washes over the Himalayan mountains, whose average height exceeds 20,000 feet. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, a 10.5-magnitude earthquake — a temblor at least 30 times more powerful than any real quake ever recorded — yanks the city apart like a giant zipper, sending chunks sliding into the Pacific Ocean.
That's not physically possible, of course. Nor is a 10.5-magnitude quake, said Thomas Rockwell, a geologist at San Diego State University. To generate that much energy, “you'd need a rupture that extends all around the planet.”
All of that other stuff “is pure Hollywood bunk,” said Bernard Jackson at the UCSD Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences.
Entertaining, though, unless you happen to believe the Maya really predicted the end of the world. They didn't, said Geoff Braswell, a UCSD anthropologist. The long-count calendar doesn't signal the end of anything except the end of that particular calendar. “It's just like a car odometer. Unfortunately, hardly anybody reads ancient Mayan. Modern media hype(騙局), on the other hand, is almost inescapable.
Nicholas Christenfeld, a professor of psychology at UCSD, suggests a more elemental human need. Being swallowed by the Earth or incinerated in a giant fireball “fits neatly with the idea that people want to believe there's a plan, that existence isn't random and pointless,” Christenfeld said.
“We all missed creation, but if we can bear witness at the other end, be part of some grand cosmic destruction, that gives life meaning,” he said.
It helps, too, not to think very hard about the facts, said Lou Manza, a professor of psychology at Lebanon Valley College in Annville, Pa. “These claims have been around forever, and they have all been false, 100 percent wrong,” Manza said.
Of course, prognosticators(預(yù)言者, 占卜者) usually have an explanation for that, Christenfeld said.
“They might say it was a misinterpretation,” he said. “They got the date wrong. They might claim humanity acted in time to prevent the destruction. Or faith came to the rescue because people believed something bad was going to happen, it didn't have to happen.”

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your 36 was a million miles away? You probably felt 37 and made up your mind to pay attention and never daydream again. Most of us, from earliest school 38 , have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
“ On the contrary, ” says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, “ daydreaming is quite 39. Without it, the mind couldn’t get done all the 40 it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious mind. 41 , your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one 42 in which the unconscious and conscious 43 of mind have silent dialogue.”
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of 44 or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental 45 . They did not have a better understanding of daydreams 46 the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “ We 47 now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we 48 our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our future. ” Daydreams are really a reflection(反映)on the things we 49 or the things we long for in life.
Daydreams are usually very simple and 50 , quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be 51 to understand. It’s easier to gain a 52 understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help one 53 the difficult situations in life and find out a possible way for dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted(預(yù)知). They move off in 54 directions, which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were, and are a main source of creative energy.
So next time you catch 55 daydreaming, don’t stop. Just pay attention to your dreams. They may be more important than you think.
