河南孟津县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解能力练习5 （2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。体裁：说明文 话题：时间的320 时间：5′ Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us.Physicists have created_fascinating theories,but their time__is__measured__by__a__pendulum__(钟摆) and is not__psychological time,__which__leaps__with_little_regard_to_the_clock_or_calendar.As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.” Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age.They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass.For example, a days at the office flies compared with a days at the beach.Since most of us spend fewer day at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older. Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly.Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere we've never been before.Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no idea of when we'll arrive, we experience the trip for a long time.But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time.The novelty of the journey has become routine.Thus, taking a different route sometimes can often help slow the clock. |
