為該處錄音的同義表達(dá)，為木題答案。

錄音開(kāi)頭，演講者提到他試圖做到自己創(chuàng)造的形象能讓人們停下來(lái)思考，

并不是讓人停止思考，故A錯(cuò)誤。演講者提到自己1999年在紐約的魔術(shù)表演結(jié)

束后，覺(jué)得很有趣，因而決定以后可以嘗試做這類(lèi)表演，并不是說(shuō)他想追求生活

中有趣的事情，故B錯(cuò)誤。演講者提到他曾將自己凍在一塊冰里，而非將一頭大

型動(dòng)物凍在一塊冰里，故D借誤。

解析：此處填入修飾nature的詞，可能是名詞、形容詞或分詞?？崭窈蟮?/p>

theseevents指的就是第一句提到的naturalcycles”自然周期”所表現(xiàn)的現(xiàn)象。

因此，空格處應(yīng)填入含有“循環(huán)；周期”意思的詞語(yǔ)，故用形容詞periodic”周

期（性）的”。

［參考譯文］

縱觀(guān)歷史，人類(lèi)觀(guān)察著自然周期規(guī)律，例如日出日落、潮起潮落、四季更

替。這些現(xiàn)象的周期性讓人們對(duì)即將到來(lái)的事物有了不少的安全感，也給予了人

們反思過(guò)去和計(jì)劃未來(lái)的理由。這些社會(huì)活動(dòng)一一如工作時(shí)間、吃飯時(shí)間和假日

安排一一的規(guī)律性表明了某種程度上人類(lèi)活動(dòng)本身的組織安排也是有周期性的。

近年來(lái)，人們花費(fèi)了大量精力來(lái)研究人體各種生物節(jié)律的作用。當(dāng)然，對(duì)

這些節(jié)律的興趣至少有一部分是來(lái)自人們想要預(yù)測(cè)未來(lái)行為的基本欲望。

人體有著許多重復(fù)的節(jié)奏：心跳、呼吸率、腦波和其他人體機(jī)能的生理過(guò)

程。

研究人體節(jié)奏的科學(xué)家對(duì)睡眠模式和注意力集中時(shí)間進(jìn)行了數(shù)天的周期

測(cè)量，并證明了一個(gè)事實(shí)：周期存在而且在生理和社會(huì)行為上發(fā)揮著作用。一個(gè)

常見(jiàn)的例子就是時(shí)差。自東向西跨時(shí)區(qū)的旅行就會(huì)擾亂游客的睡眠周期一一這可

能要花上好幾天的時(shí)間才能恢復(fù)到正常周期或再調(diào)整一個(gè)新周期。

2.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：根據(jù)空格前的介詞of，可知空格應(yīng)填入名詞或動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)。a

measureof在此用作數(shù)量詞，相當(dāng)于anamountof,下文談到了這些自然現(xiàn)象周

期變化的規(guī)律性對(duì)人們安排行為活動(dòng)的影響。換句話(huà)說(shuō)，這些現(xiàn)象的周期性讓人

們能夠撐控即將到來(lái)的事物。詞庫(kù)中只有security“安全感”放入句中后句意通

順

3.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.AV

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：空格所在句缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。該句表明的是一般情況，根據(jù)主語(yǔ)

regularity“規(guī)律性”可知，謂語(yǔ)用第三人稱(chēng)單數(shù)?？崭窈蟮馁e語(yǔ)的意思是“人類(lèi)

活動(dòng)本身的組織安排在某種程度上也是有周期性的”，詞庫(kù)中只有indicates”表

4.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：此處填入修飾effort的詞，可能是名詞、形容詞或分詞。這里講的

是人們研究人體生理節(jié)律所做的努力。considerable“大量的”帶入句中意思最

通順,故為答案。normal指“正常的"，語(yǔ)義上不如considerable準(zhǔn)確。

5.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：空格處于句首，而且該句主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)齊全，可以判斷這里填入的是

6.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：空格所在句缺少渭語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。該句表達(dá)的是“人體”與“許多重復(fù)的

節(jié)奏”的邏輯關(guān)系。根據(jù)冒號(hào)后的內(nèi)容判斷，這些重復(fù)的節(jié)奏都是人體所“表現(xiàn)”

出來(lái)的，因此用exhibitSodemonstrated有“演示”的意思，但時(shí)態(tài)用在此處不

對(duì)，該句表明的是一般情況，故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。

7.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：空格處應(yīng)填的是名詞，與attention搭配，而且還跟sleeppatterns

一起作havemeasured的賓語(yǔ)。attentionspans是常用的固定搭配，意思是“注

意力集中時(shí)間”。

8.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.BV

C.C

D.D

解析：這里缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)空格前的have可判斷時(shí)態(tài)是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)工

詞庫(kù)中只有demonstrated是過(guò)去分詞形式,帶入后表示“……證明了一個(gè)事實(shí)二

9.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.D

解析：這里同樣缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知，跨時(shí)區(qū)飛行會(huì)擾亂人的生

物鐘，upsets“攪亂，打亂”完全符合句意。limits“限制”在語(yǔ)義上不準(zhǔn)確。

10.（分?jǐn)?shù)：3.55）

A.A

B.B

C.C

D.DV

解析：此處填入修飾cycle的詞，可能是名詞、形容詞或分詞。根據(jù)句子后

半句的意思“再調(diào)整一個(gè)新周期”，推測(cè)空格處填入的詞應(yīng)含有“原來(lái)的；正常

的”的意思,故用normal。
