0.volunteers（分数：20.00）

1.（分数；2.00）

填空项（正确答案：

1：Eo）

解析：空格所在宾语从句主谓宾完整，推测应填入副词。后文提到“是由

他们处在过去或未来决定的”，因此E项的differently“不同地”为答案。备选副

词中apparently“显然地”与句意不符，故排除。

2.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：Mo）

解析：空格位于人称代词所有格后，应填入名词作主语。根据后半句“接

近你或远离你”可知，此处单词应与波形的运动方式或发出点有关，因此M项

的source“来源”符合句意，故为答案。备选名词中implications“暗示"、prospect

“前景”、scale"等级”和volunteers“志愿者”与句意不符，故均排除。

3.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：Ko）

解析：空格在介词as之后，推测应填入动词-ing形式或名词。空格所在句

为原因状语从句，并有连接词while表示两种情况的对比，主句的大意是“一个

月后要发生的事情在心理上感觉比一个月前发生过的事情距离更近二空格处单

诃描述的是thoseinpast,因此应与“距离远”的意思相关。因此K项的receding

“（距离上）逐渐远离”为答案，备选-ing形式动词中，advancing意为“前进”，

与文意不符，故排除。

4.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：Do）

解析：空格位于than前，可知应填入形容词比较级。前文说到，未来的事

情与距离消失相关,过去的事情往往倾向于远离，即未来的事情我们会感觉近些，

过去的事情我们感觉远些。D项的closer"更近的”符合文意，故为答案。备选

形容词中，只有一个比较级，亦可直接选出答案。

5.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：。。）

解析：空格位于数字323之后，故应填入复数可数名词。结合句意”研究

者邀请了323名，并把他们分成两组。”可知，。项的volunteers“志愿者”

与文意相符，故为答案。在备选名词中，另一个复数形式的名词implications“暗

示”与文意不符，故排除；备选词subject也可看作是名词“受试者”，但不足复

数形式，故排除。

6.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：L。）

解析：在不定冠词a与介词of之间，应填入名词。结合句意“两组都被要

求按一至七的描述他们对情人节感觉的距离”可知。。nascale。f按……的等级”

与文意相符,故L为答案。备选名词中prospect“前景”和implications“暗示”

均不符合句意，故排除。

7.（分数:2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：Go）

解析：空格与前面的助动词had构成定语从句的谓语，推测应填入过去分

词。前文提到那些描述未来计划的人感觉时间短，后文应表达的是那些描述已经

过去事件的感觉，因此G项的experienced“经历”符合句意，故为答案。其他

备选动词形式不符，可直接排除。

8.（分数；2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：J。）

解析：空格在动词不定式to后，应填入动词原形。前文提到了研究人员要

求志愿者们给未来和已经发生事情的远近感觉评1〜7的等级，因此这里的意思

应是他们还要求参与者为想象中未来和过去事情的远近感觉评等级，故J项的

rate“评级”为答案。备选动词中evaluate“评价”意思相近，但不如rate表意

准确，故排除。

9.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：Ho）

解析：空格位于动词has后，且后接for,应填入能与for搭配的名词，因

此H项的implications“暗示”为答案。

10.（分数：2.00）

填空项1：（正确答案：No）

解析：空格位于谓语mightbe后，且前面有more修饰，后接不定式to,

推测应填入能与to搭配的形容词原形。结合句意“他怀疑那些没有这种偏向性

的人，……可能更常一一多思或沮丧的侵扰"。be-subjectt。"受……支配，常遭

受”符合文意，故N为答案。备选形容诃中available不与to搭配，故排除。
