【答案】12.B13.D14.A15.A

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇说明文。当人们试图将引力与量子力学统一起来时，就必须引入“假想”时间的

概念。这意味着，在假想时间的正向和反向方向之间不可能有什么重要的区别。然而，在日

常生活中，“实时”的前进和后退方向有很大的不同。最后，还有宇宙时间之箭。这是宇宙

膨胀而不是收缩的时间方向“

【12题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中Thismeansthattherecanbenoimportantdi(Terencebetween

theforwardandbackwarddirectionsofimaginarytine.Yetthereisabigdifference

betweentheforwardandbackwarddirectionsof'realtime*inordinary1ife.Imagine

acupofwaterfallingoffatableandbreakingintopiecesonthefloor.”这意味

着，在假想时间的正向和反向方向之间不可能有什么重要的区别。然而，在口常生活中，“实

时”的前进和后退方向有很大的不同。”可知，根据这篇文章，“假想时间”和“真实时间”

的不同是“方向对虚时间的意义小于对实时间的意义。”故选B。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段中Yetthereisabigdifferencebetweentheforwardandbackward

directionsof'realtime*inordinarylife.Imagineacupofwaterfallingoffa

tableandbreakingintopiecesonthefloor.“然而，在日常生活中，“实时”的前进

和后退方向有很大的不同。想象一杯水从桌子上掉下来，在地板上摔成了碎片。”可知，写

一杯从桌子上掉下来的水的目的是来证明实时方向之间有很大的不同。故选D。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中Theexplanationthatisusuallygivenastowhywedon't

seebrokencupsgatheringthemselvestogetheroffthefloorandjumpingbackonto

thetableisthatitisforbiddenbythesecondlawofthermodynamics（热力学）.”通

常的解释是，为什么我们没有看到破碎的杯子从地板上聚拢起来，然后跳I可到桌子上，这是

热力学第二定律所禁止的"。可知，我们没有看到破碎的杯子从地板上聚拢起来，然后跳回

到桌子上去是因为“它不符合热力学第二定律。”故选A。

【15题详解】

词义猜测题。根据最后一段最后一句Thisisthedirectionoftimeinwhichtheuniverse

isexpandingratherthancontracting.“这是宇宙膨胀而不是收缩的时间方向＜."由此推

知上句划线词的意思是“宇宙的"。故选A。

【点睛】做词义猜测题时，利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推

测词义，。最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。尤其是要抓住所需推断

词汇前后的内容。本题第4小题,根据最后一段最后一句Thisisthedirectionoftimein

whichtheuniverseisexpandingratherthancontracting."这是宇宙膨胀而不是收缩

的时间方向。”由此推知上句划线词的意思是“宇宙的"o故选A。
