　　Section A

　　According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this has an　interestingpsychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago,found that people judge the distance of events 36 , depending on whether they are in the past orfuture. The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler effect describesthe way that waves change frequency depending on whether their 37 is travelling towards or awayfrom you. Mr. Caruso argues that something similar happens with people's perception of time.Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thoughtof as 38 , something happening in one month feels psychologically 39 than something thathappened a month ago.

　　This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 40 and dividedthem into two groups. A week before Valentine's day, members of the first were asked how theyplanned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they hadcelebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a 41 of one to seven.Those describing forthcoming plans-were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now",while those who had already 42 it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale.To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions thanimagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to 43 the distance ofhypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry ***不對稱*** remained.

　　Mr. Caruso speculates that his research has 44 for psychological well-being. He suspects thatpeople who do not show this bias-those who feel the past as being closer-might be more 45 torumination*** 沉思***or depression ,because they are more likely to dwell on past events.

　　答案解析：

　　36.E***。詳解 空格所在賓語從句主謂賓完整，推測應填入副詞。後文提到“依據它們是已經歷過的還是沒發生的而有所不同”，因此E***differently“不同地”為答案。備選副詞中apparently“顯然地”與句意不符，故排除。

　　37.M***詳解 空格位於人稱代詞所有格後，應填入名詞作主語。根據後半句“向你走來還是遠離你”可知，此處單詞應與波形的運動方式或發出點有關，因此M***source“來源”符合句意，故為答案。備選名詞中implications“暗示”、prospect“前景”、scale“等級”和volunteers“志願者”與句意不符，故均排除。

　　38.K***。詳解 空格在介詞as之後，推測應填入動詞-ing形式或名詞。空格所在句為原因狀語從句，並有連線詞while表示兩種情況的對比，主句的大意是“一個月後要發生的事情在心理上感覺比一個月前發生過的事情距離更近”。空格處單詞描述的是those in past，因此應與“距離遠”的意思相關。因此K***receding“***距離上***逐漸遠離”為答案。備選-ing形式動詞中，advancing意為“前進”，與文意不符，故排除。

　　39.D***。詳解 空格位於than前，可知應填入形容詞比較級。前文說到，未來的事情與距離消失相關，過去的事情往往傾向於遠離，即未來的事情我們會感覺近些，過去的事情我們感覺遠些。D***closer“更近的”符合文意，故為答案。備選形容詞中，只有一個比較級，亦可直接選出答案。

　　40.O***。詳解 空格位於數字323之後，故應填入複數可數名詞。結合句意“研究者邀請了323名__________，並把他們分成兩組。”可知，0***volunteers“志願者”與文意相符，故為答案。在備選名詞中，另一個複數形式的名詞implications“暗示”與文意不符，故排除;備選詞subject也可看作是名詞“受試者”，但不是複數形式，故排除。

　　41.L***。空格 在不定冠詞a與介詞of之間，應填入名詞。結合句意 “兩組都被要求按一至七的描述他們對情人節感覺的距離”可知，0n a scale of“按……的等級”與文意相符，故L***為答案。備選名詞中prospect“前景”和implications“暗示”均不符合句意，故排除。

　　42，G***。詳解 空格與前面的主動詞had構成定語從句的謂語，推測應填入過去分詞。前文提到那些描述未來計劃的人感覺時間短，後文應表達的是那些描述已經過去事件者的感覺，因此G***experienced“經歷”符合句意，故為答案。其他備選動詞形式不符，可直接排除。

　　43.J***。詳解 空格在動詞不定式to後，應填入動詞原形。前文提到了研究人員要求志願者們給未來和已經發生事情的遠近感覺評1～7的等級，因此這裡的意思應是他們還要求參與者為想象中未來和過去事情的遠近感覺評等級，故J***rate“評級”為答案。備選動詞中evaluate“評價”意思相近，但不如rate表意準確，故排除。

　　44.H***。詳解 空格位於動詞has後，且後接for，應填入能與for搭配的名詞，因此H***implications“暗示”為答案。

　　45.N***。詳解 空格位於謂語might be後，且前面有more修飾，後接不定式to，推測應填入能與to搭配的形容詞原形。結合句意 “他懷疑那些沒有這種偏向性的人們，……可能更常——多思或沮喪的侵擾”。be subjectto“受……支配，常遭受”符合文意.故N***為答案。備選形容詞中available不與to搭配，故排除。

　　Section A

　　At age 17, as a senior in high school, Kavita Shukla filed for her second　patent: a piece ofpaper that would transform how food is stored and kept　fresh. Ten years later, her product isbeing used in 35 countries, has been　called "the 　36 paper" and was recently launched in WholeFoods. Fresh　Paper is infused with organic spices that inhibit 　37 and fungal growth; whenstored with produce, it　can keep food fresh two to four times longer than normal--likerefrigeration without electricity. The spice mixture comes from an old family recipe passed along byShukla's grandmother, who once gave it to her after she 　38 drank tap water on a visit to India. "Drink this and you won't get sick," she was told.

　　On Friday, Shukla was joined onstage at the Women in the World Summit in New York by RulaJebreal, a 　39 and foreign-policy expert at MSNBC ***微軟全國有線廣播電視公司***. Jebreal lamented thefact that while the world's farmers actually produce enough food to feed the world's hungry, 13billion tons of food are lost annually to spoilage. What's more, some 1.6 billion people currentlyliving without　40 to refrigeration struggle to keep their diets healthy. Shukla's company, Fenugreen,which she started in 2010,　41 these people, along with food banks and small-scale farmers. "Forso many people, this was about so much more than a piece of paper," she said. "It was aboutempowerment. "

　　Jebreal praised a low-tech solution in an era when many 　42 are relying on high-techinnovation."What if I had 43 it as too simple?" Shukla asked. "Simple ideas are the ones that havethe power to change things.., and they have the power to 　44 " For Fresh Paper, simplicity meantaccessibility, which was key to 　45 the product reached anyone who could benefit from it. As thediscussion drew to a close, Shukla reminded inventors everywhere that complicated isn't alwaysbetter: "Don't ever discount your own simple idea. "

　　答案解析：

　　36.J***。詳解 空格位於定冠詞the和名詞paper之間，推斷此處應填入形容詞。由上文可知Kavita Shukla在17歲時發明了保鮮紙，10年後，這一產品已被35個國家採用。因而此處應填入一個積極意義的形容詞來修飾這種紙，故填入J***miracle“神奇的”。備選形容詞中，average“平均的”和bacterial“細菌的”均不符合句意，故排除。

　　37.D***。詳解 空格所在句“inhibit…growth”意為“禁止……生長”，可推斷空格處單詞與and後的fungal“真菌的”為並列關係，故應填入與其意義相近的形容詞，D***bacterial“細菌的”符合句差;故為答案。備選形容詞中，average"平均的”不符合句意，故排除。

　　38.B***。詳解 空格位於after引導的時間狀語從句中，從句主謂賓完整，因此應填入副詞。結合句意“有一次她去印度參觀時飲用了自來水，之後，祖母給了她這個方子”可知，斯庫拉飲用自來水是偶然的行為，因此B***accidentally“偶然地”符合句意。

　　39.H***。詳解 空格所在句為同位語，解釋說明Rula Jebreal，故應填入表示職業的單數名詞，意思上與expert相近。因此H***host“主持人”符合題意。備選名詞中，innovators“改革者”為複數形式，故排除;access“途徑”和guarantee“保證人”與上下文意思不符，故排除。

　　40.A***。詳解 空格所在成分“living without to refrigeration”為後置定語，修飾主語people。空格位於介詞without和to之間，應填入可以與to搭配的名詞。備選名詞中只有access與to搭配，故A***access“途徑”為答案。其他均不符合句意，故排除。

　　41.M***。詳解 空格所在句缺少謂語，主語是Siukla's company，因此應填入第三人稱單數形式的動詞，並且與company相關。因此M***targets這裡意為“以……為目標 ***人群***”符合題意，故為答案。備選動詞中，triggers也是動詞第三人稱單數形式，但書符合句意，故排除;其他動詞形式均不符，故排除。

　　42.I***。詳解 參空格位於形容詞many與謂語動詞are之間，應填入複數形式的可數名詞作主語。備選詞E，只有innovators為複數形式的可數名詞，因此I***innovators“改革者”為答案。

　　43.E***。詳解 空格所在句缺少謂語動詞，且有助動詞had，故應填入動詞過去分詞。備選動詞中只有dismissed是過去分詞形式，因此E***dismissed“摒棄”為答案。

　　44.L***。詳解 空格位於動詞不定式to之後，應填入動詞原形。前文提到這種低科技含量的創新受到讚揚，並用虛擬語氣表明不應因想法簡單而放棄，結合旬意“簡單的主意具有的力量”可知，L***spread“傳播”符合文意，故為答案。備選項中另一動詞原形transmit“傳遞”與句意不符，故排除。

　　45.F***。詳解 空格位於動詞短語was key to後，to在這裡是介詞，應填入動名詞。備選動詞中只有F***ensuring“確保”是動名詞，故為答案。
