　　36 C 課間十分鐘玩得很開心，時間在不知不覺中就過去了。此處用can’t believe表示對這段時間飛快流逝的驚訝與感嘆。

　　37 C 上文提到的是一種特定的心理場面描寫，而不是人所經歷的某一件具體的事情，故選C。scene情節,場面 ;experience經驗,經歷,閱歷。

　　38 A 根據文中倒數第二段的解釋可得知答案。drag拖長，此處指時間過的很慢。

　　39 D thought over仔細考慮 ;make up 組成; suggest建議;表明; come up with提出。

　　科學家是以實驗為基礎進行研究而提出的一種原因。

　　40 A 聯系下文的實驗可知，當人的大腦集中于一個任務的多個面時，就變得比較活躍，反之，則變得不那么活躍。所以當大腦所注意的任務不同時，大腦的活動狀態是不一樣的。

　　41 B 聯系上下文可知，人在比較厭煩或感到無事可做的時候，才覺的時間過得很慢。

　　42 B 時間過得很慢只是人的一種潛在的意識。

　　43 D 空格所缺的詞做定語，應與前面的experiment構成動賓關系，結合下文進行的實驗可知，只有D項符合。B項應改為carried out 。

　　44 C 此處用while強調在實驗過程中，被實驗者與研究人員的任務對比關系。

　　45 D 根據后面的then; thirdly可得知答案。

　　46 B 據后文49空后的解釋可知，實驗的目的是讓大腦不停的專注于一個任務的多個方面。

　　47 D 此處指被研究人員的大腦思維比較活躍。

　　48 D 結合上文的實驗可知，研究人員是讓實驗者的大腦專注于一個任務的多個方面。

　　49 A be busy doing…忙于……為固定搭配;be likely to do…可能做……; be ready to do…準備做……; be sure of/about對……確信。

　　50 D 聯系上下文可知，當大腦專注于一個任務的多個方面時，它的精力就會被分散，因而就轉移了對時間的注意。spread 此處為分散。

　　51 C 此處是上述實驗所得出的一個結論 。

　　52 C 根據后文的 seems to go quickly可知，時間在不知不覺中過去。

　　53 B 如果大腦不太活躍的時候，就會把相當多的精力集中在計算時間上，right/ proper正確的，恰當的，同義，可排除。enough足夠的;full充足的;相當多的。

　　54 B 本句是根據前面的分析而得出的結論。

　　55 A 本句與文章第一段相對應，是對第一段在課堂出現的問題的一種解決方法。另外，根據最后一句也可得出答案。

　　1.C。為了引出話題人物━━達•芬奇，這里引用了設問手法，問題應表示“是誰畫了世界上最著名的畫”，故選擇動詞painted。

　　2.B。對人體比較了解的莫過于醫生了，將達•芬奇與醫生相比才能顯示其對人體的精通。故選擇doctors。

　　3.A。介詞to常表示一一對應的關系，“問題的答案”習慣表達為an answer to a question。

　　4.D。達•芬奇應是世人所知道的天才中最偉大的人，the world 一般指每個人，相當于第三人稱單數，故people為正確選項。

　　5.D。draw和paint不合文意, work為不及物動詞，不能直接接賓語。在那個時代，達•芬奇所不能做的應是制造飛機，故選擇build。

　　6.B。這一句起承上啟下的作用，意為“達•芬奇不僅僅是一名發明家”，故選擇 wasn’t just。

　　7.C。less和no不合文章，very不能用來修飾比較級，而even常用來修飾比較級，意為“甚至更……”，故為正確選項。
