35、DTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us.Physicists have created fascinating theories，but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time，which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar.As someone who understood the distinction observed，“When you sit with
36、 a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute，but when you sit on a hot stove，a minute seems like two hours. ”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time，such as months and years，fly on swifter wings as we age.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appoi

41、hysical time is different from psychological time.DPhysical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time.C推理判断题。根据画线句子的上一句“Physicists have created fascinating theories，but their time is measured by a pendulum and is not psychological time，which leaps with little regard to the clock or calend
42、ar.”可推测，画线句子是为了说明物理概念的时间和心理的时间是有区别的。C项符合以上说法，故选C项。13Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?AOur sense of time changes.BWe spend less time at the beach.CMore time is structured and scheduled.DTime is structured with too many appointments.C细节理解题。根据第二段的“They also note that the more time is st
43、ructured with schedules and appointments，the more rapidly it seems to pass.”可知，因为单位时间是被规划好的，所以越是细致规划的时间，看上去就过的越快。故选C项。14What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AExcitement.BUnfamiliarity.CImagination.DAmusement.B词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery，with no real
44、idea of when well arrive，we experience the trip as lasting a long time.”以及“The novelty of the outward journey has become routine.”可知，因为对周边环境的不熟悉才觉得时间过得慢，而这种情况成为我们生活的一种常规了。由此猜测，画线部分的意思是“不熟悉”。故选B项。15What is the purpose of the passage?ATo give various explanations about time.BTo describe how we experie
45、nce time physically.CTo show the differences of two kinds of time.DTo explain why time flies and how to slow it down.D推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其最后一段可知，作者写这篇文章是为了陈述为什么时间过的很快，以及怎样让时间变慢。D项“To explain why time flies and how to slow it down(为了解释为什么时间流逝的快，以及如何让它变慢)”符合以上推测，故选D项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后
