31.D【分析】试题分析：这是一篇议论文。数千年来世界发生了巨大变化，但是时间仍旧相对稳定的速度运行。然而最近的分析表明，随着高科技产品的出现，我们感觉时间过得比实际上要快。作者提醒读者我们应该减少在网上花费的时间，我们需要停下来闻一闻玫瑰花。【28题详解】细节理解题。由第二段的“Nomatterwhathappensintheworld,timeseemstoturnablindeyetotheoutsideworld.Whetheritisinthepast,atpresent,orinthefuture,timewouldnotvarywiththedevelopmentoftheworld.Itremainsthesameandoperatesatalysteadyspeed.”可知，根据科学家的说法，无论世界发生多大变化，时间总是保持一样的，以一种相对稳定的速度运行着。故选B。【29题详解】细节理解题。由第三段的“Accordingtoarecentstudy,smartphones，tabletsandotherdigitalproductshavetrainedourbrainstoprocessmoreinformation,causingustothinktimeispassingfasterthanitreallyis.”可知，高科技产品的出现让我们感觉时间比实际上过得快。故选C。【30题详解】观点态度题。第三段阐述研究表明高科技产品的出现让人们感觉时间比实际上过得快，由倒数第二段Mcoughlin博士的话可知，Mcoughlin博士认为就好像我们在努力跟上技术的步伐，更快更高效地做事情，技术本身似乎有一些东西可以加速我们的起搏器，用来测量时间的流逝。因此推断，Mcoughlin博士支持高科技让人们感觉时间过得比实际更快的说法。故选B。【31题详解】词句猜测题。由上一句“Researchersnotethatinordertostoptimefromrushingby,weshouldreducethetimespentonlineandpreventthepacemakermovingfast.Thefindingsprovewhatmostpeoplehaveknown”可知，研究人员指出，为了防止时间飞逝，我们应该减少在网上花费的时间，防止起搏器快速移动，这个发现证明了大部分人所知道的。因此推断作者说“weneedtostopandsmelltheroses.”的意思是：我们应该学会放慢速度，享受我们的生活。故选D。【点睛】词义猜测题的解题策略：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。常见的逻辑关系有：因果关系，同位关系，对比关系，转折关系等。例如小题4，由上一句“Researchersnotethatinordertostoptimefromrushingby,weshouldreducethetimespentonlineandpreventthepacemakermovingfast.Thefindingsprovewhatmostpeoplehaveknown”可知，为了防止时间飞逝，我们应该减少在网上花费的时间，防止起搏器快速移动，这个发现证明了大部分人所知道的。因此推断作者说“weneedtostopandsmelltheroses.”的意思是：我们应该学会放慢速度，享受我们的生活。故选D。21.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Canyouimaginetravelingtoworkinaone-mansubmarine?Scientistsbelievethatsomedayone-mansubmarineswillbeasnumerousasautomobilestoday.Onesays,"Onedaysoon,menwillwalkontheoceanfloorastheydoonthestreet."Perhapsduringyourlifetime,peoplewilltravel,workandliveunderthesea.
