7、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Time speeds up when you are having fun. But it slows down, it turns out, when one looks at something worth remembering. According to a research, people's sense of how fast time passes can be influenced by the memorability of the images in front of them.
A team led by Martin Wiener, a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at George Mason University in America, tested how visual stimuli change people's experience of time. They showed several dozen participants images of different scenes—from empty box rooms to filled stadiums—for between 300 and 900 milliseconds. After each one the participants had to say if the time spent looking at the image was short or long. Their responses showed that, when the images featured large scenes, such as an empty warehouse, more time seemed to have passed.The opposite happened when the images were of spaces jammed with objects, such as an overfull garage.
That was strange. Previous research has found that the experience of stretched time increases with size; for instance, if people are flashed images of different numbers for equal lengths of time, they think the higher numbers are shown for longer. But the jammed scenes seemed to contradict that trend. To see if something else was at play, the researchers ran another experiment using pictures that differed in memorability. Humans better remembered pictures focused on people, actions and centrally placed objects. Dr. Wiener's team used images from a 60,000-image data set, where each image had been judged on its memorability (a man with flowers in his beard: memorable). The more memorable the image, the more it seemed to stretch time.
Exactly how processing speed leads to different time perception (理解) is still unclear,but the researchers believe the connection lies in how the brain prioritises incoming information.
(1)、What has a great effect on people's sense of time?A、Time's speeding up. B、Time's slowing down. C、Incoming information. D、Memorability of the images.(2)、When you look at a(n) ____, it seems more time has passed.A、filled stadium B、overfull garage C、empty warehouse D、tree in the corner(3)、From which is the text probably taken?A、A research paper. B、A travel brochure. C、A health magazine. D、A biology textbook.(4)、What is the mi an idea of the text?A、How time flies with different images. B、The experience of time increases with size. C、Memorable images make time pass more slowly. D、Processing speed leads to different time perception. -

Spending time outdoors, especially in green spaces, is one of the fastest ways to improve your health and happiness. It can lower stress, blood pressure and heart rate. Doctors are increasingly taking these findings seriously and using them to their patients.
Now, a new study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research adds to the evidence and shows just how little time it takes to get the benefits of being outside.Spending just 20 minutes in a park—even if you don't exercise while you're there—is enough to improve well-being, according to the research.
For the study, researchers surveyed 94 adults who visited one of three urban parks over the summer and fall. They were given fitness trackers to measure physical activity but were not told what to do in the park or how long to stay. Each person also answered questions about their life satisfaction and mood—which were used to calculate a subjective well-being score, with a maximum value of 55—before and after their park visit.
The average park visit lasted 32 minutes, and 30% of people engaged in at least moderate-intensity(中等强度) physical activity while there. Well-being scores rose during the park visit in 60% of people, with an average increase of about 1.5 points (from about 37 to 39). For many people in the study, simply being in green space seemed to be enough to make a change.
The medical community is increasingly viewing green space as a place for their patients to gain physical and mental health benefits. Some physicians, like Dr. Robert Zarr, are even writing prescriptions(处方) for it.
By writing nature prescriptions, physicians are encouraging their patients to get outdoors and take advantage of what many view to be free medicine.
(1)、What does the underlined word"It"in paragraph 1 refer to?A、Health. B、Happiness. C、Staying outdoors. D、Taking exercise.(2)、What did the new study find?A、Being outside costs a lot. B、A 20-minute break in nature is beneficial. C、Exercise is enough to improve well-being. D、Spending time outdoors is the fastest way to improve happiness.(3)、What can we learn from paragraph 3?A、The participants were recorded subjectively. B、The participants were recorded all the year round. C、The participants had to stay in the park for at least 20 minutes. D、The participants' mood was calculated by their answering questions.(4)、What does Dr. Robert Zarr think of spending time outdoors?A、Doubtful. B、Supportive. C、Unconcerned. D、Unclear. -

A warm, sunny day in early November, especially in the Sierras, was a nice surprise. One look at the cloudless blue sky was all it took to convince me to drive twenty miles into the valley to do early Christmas shopping.
Temperatures in the valley are between eight and ten degrees higher than those in the foothills where we live, so I enjoyed the warmth and sunshine as I walked from store to store. Around sunset, I searched through my purse for my cellphone, only to discover it wasn't there. After a frustrating search I finally found it under the car seat and sighed with relief.
I called my husband and heard the panic in his voice. "I've been trying to call you. It started snowing up here half an hour ago, " he shouted into the phone.
"Well, I'll stop and put the chains on when I get up there so I can make it home, " I sighed. My husband coughed nervously and cleared his throat. "Uh, I forgot to put the chains back in the trunk when I cleaned the car out yesterday, " he said. I resisted the urge to scream. " I think you can make it home if you leave now and drive slowly following the tire tracks in the road when you get to the snow, " my husband said before I hung up.
I drove slowly toward the 2600-foot elevation(高地) where we lived. My biggest challenge would be to get over the bridge, then up the hill on the other side. The snow was falling harder when I reached the bridge. I blinked back tears.
A truck was driving across the bridge ahead of me. My hopes soared. Those big tires would make a good path through the snow. The path from the truck tires helped until I reached the end of the bridge and started up the hill. The tires started spinning and the car started to slide back down the hill.

Peking Opera actress Dong Yuanyuan proposed integrating the art of Peking Opera with digital technology to compete for more young audiences. a national treasure in China, the art form is becoming more and more alienated, especially by younger generations. Her (propose) might be one of the most effctive ways to help resolve the problem.
In November 2021, the "Digital Mei Lanfang" project (launch) in Beijing. The late Mei Lanfang ( 1894- 1961 ) now, is once again able to appear" in front of audiences thanks to digital technology. Dong got very excited and emotional she saw that Master Mei was "really talking" on stage.
Since then, she ( work) hard to deeply integrate the traditional Chinese art with modern technology. In addition, Dong has adopted more flexible means (promote) Peking Opera and suggests that traditional artistic elements, such as tunes from Peking Opera, could also be used in pop songs in an ancient Chinese style. So far, a dozen such songs have been very well-received by audiences, (include) young people. However, there are many obstacles to overcome.
A tech expert mentioned it was very difficult to imitate Master Mei's facial expressions and voice as well as the materials of his costumes. This project was not only a process of technological implementation, but also one integrated technology with traditional culture. So there is a (true) long way to go before a digital Peking Opera human with real-time interaction capability is created.
A digital Mei Lanfang is a good beginning, a breakthrough in promoting Peking Opera other traditional art forms. Therefore, all levels of society should pay attention and lend their support to this endeavor.

If you're an aspiring director that wants to start a successful film career, you should start by creating your first short film. While it can seem like a daunting task at first, with the proper strategies, creating a short movie is just a matter of having good ideas and utilizing common filming techniques.
Think of an idea for a short film.
Focus on one core idea so that the short story isn't overly complicated. Consider what kind of tone you want for the film and whether it will be a horror. drama, or experimental movie.
If you don't want to write your own script, you can search online for scripts that other people have already written. If you plan on shooting your short film to make a profit, make sure to reach out to the screenwriter to get their permission to use it. Some screenwriters will sell you their script for a fee.
Look for locations. Find locations to match the script. Ask small businesses and shops if you can use their locations for a short film. If the film takes place indoors, you may be able to use your own apartment or house. If the shoot is happening outdoors, find a safe and legal place to film.
Rehearse the scene. Once the actors get onto the set, have them go through a basic reading of the script. Then, have the actors act out the scene. As they go through the scene, tell the actors what you want them to do, how to interact with the environment, and let them know of any modifications that you want to see in their acting. The read through of the script can be done anywhere, but you should try to do the blocking on set.
In addition, if the actors have to wear a cultural or religious piece, be sure to study it. Don't just throw the piece on. If you are on a tight budget, you can have the actors provide outfits from their own wardrobe, but make sure that what they find meets your vision.
A. Search for scripts online.
B. Be as accurate as possible.
C. Do a rough cut of the scenes.
D. This process is known as "blocking the scene".
E. Select filming equipment that meets your needs.
F. Think of a short story that you want to tell in under 10 minutes.
G. Getting permits to shoot on private or public property can sometimes be very expensive.

Let's say you're in the far future and you're looking for evidence of previous civilizations. Where would you look? The first place would be in the rocks. Rocks keep time. Recently, the discovery of rocks made from plastic debris(碎片)in Brazil's volcanic Trindade Island is sparking alarm. Melted plastic has become twisted with rocks on the island, which researchers say is evidence of humans growing influence over the Earth's geological cycles.
Plastic rocks have been previously found in various parts of the world. Researchers documented plastiglomerates—rock, sand and other debris fused together by melted plastic一in Hawaii in 2014, for instance. Another human-made and plastic-based rock is pyro plastics. Described in 2019 from the shores of Cornwall in southwest Britain, pyro plastics form from burned plastic waste. In laboratory experiments with white or colored plastic pieces, if burned, the plastic melts and forms a gray or black mass, resembling at first glance a rocky pebble. According to geophysicist Douglas Jerolmack, ""all around the world where there's trash being openly burned in mass quantities, you can imagine there are even larger melted plastic deposits" where plastiglomerate could form.
Plastic pollution making its way into the formation of rocks suggests humans are having an effect on what was previously considered a natural occurrence, said Santos, who along with others is continuing research into plastic pollution on Trindade Island. "This is new and terrifying at the same time, because pollution has reached geology, "Santos told Reuters. The finding of plastic rocks also suggests, some experts say, that a new geological epoch has begun: The Anthropocene epoch. Regardless of whether this represents a new epoch, Santos said, "the pollution, the garbage in the sea and the plastic dumped incorrectly in the oceans are becoming geological material preserved in the Earth's geological records. "
The researchers are yet unsure of the environmental impacts of plastic rocks. Burned plastic can contain high concentrations of potentially toxic elements, like lead and chromium, derived from the pigments used to dye the plastic material. Buried in the ground, plastic has the potential to survive millions of years and even enter the geological record.
(1)、Why does the writer raise a question in the first paragraph?A、To introduce the text topic. B、To test the readers' knowledge. C、To present a study finding. D、To raise the readers' awareness.(2)、What can we know about plastiglomerates?A、They are rarely seen in the rocks. B、They look like rocky pebbles if burned. C、They are white or coloured plastic pieces. D、The more trash is burnt, the more they will be.(3)、What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A、Plastic pollution has greatly changed the formation of rocks. B、The impacts that plastic rocks bring still need some further study. C、Geological materials preserve human's irresponsible behaviour to environment. D、Buried plastic in the ground is unlikely to survive after entering the geological record.(4)、What can be a suitable title for the text?A、Plastic Rocks: The Root of the Environmental Impacts B、Plastic Rocks: The Geological Record of Human Development C、Plastic Rocks: The Markers We're Laying Down in Deep Time D、Plastic Rocks: The New Geological Materials We're Unsure of -

Speaking a native language that requires tones appears to boost perception(感知) of melody, but at the cost of rhythm, researchers report April 26 in Current Biology. The massive global study hints at how language skills seep into other areas of cognition. Tonal(声调的)languages use pitch to distinguish words that otherwise might sound the same. In Mandarin, for instance, md means horse whereas m means mother. Non tonal languages like Spanish sometimes include pitch changes to suggest emotion, for example, but not to change a word's meaning.
As a Mandarin speaker and flutist, Jingxuan Liu wondered about the crossover between language and music. While studying psychology as an undergraduate at Duke University, Liu helped analyze the musical abilities of nearly half a million people from 203 countries. Her colleagues had launched anon line game in which participants completed several musical tasks, including identifying matching melodies at different pitches and finding beat tracks that fit songs' rhythms.
On average,native speakers of the 19 represented tonal languages were better at the melody task compared with speakers of 29 no tonal languages. And the effect wasn't small—a tonal first language enhanced melodic perception by about half the amount that music lessons did, which was also surveyed. But tonal language speakers tended to be worse at the rhythm task.
Humans must be choosy about what they pay attention to. Pitch patterns are vital in tonal languages, which might explain the musical trade-of. "You've got a finite resource of attention, and you've got to allocate that somehow, "says study coauthor Courtney Hilton, a cognitive scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
Prior research on language and music often compared just two tongues, usually English and Cantonese or Mandarin. But other cultural influences,such as Eastern and Western music styles, could have affected results. By examining a wide range of people, the new study included languages never assessed in this way and reached more general conclusions. "Our result here is showing that the language someone speaks—which is an important part of culture—also shapes cognition, " Hilton says.
(1)、What do the underlined words "seep into" in the first paragraph mean?A、Enter gradually. B、Control constantly C、Damage slightly. D、Understand completely.(2)、What information can we get from the musical tasks of Jingxuan Liu's colleagues?A、Tonal languages determine our music abilities. B、Tonal first languages can take the place of music lessons. C、Tonal language speakers perform better in the rhythm tasks. D、Tonal languages help native speakers to better acquire melody.(3)、Which of the following statements does Courtney Hilton most agree with?A、The musical trade-off enhances human cognition. B、The musical abilities boost human perception of melody. C、A limited span of attention accounts for human musical trade-off. D、English and Cantonese or Mandarin affect human musical abilities.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Native language influences human culture. B、Native language might shape musical ability. C、Native language is an important part of culture. D、Native language enhances human melodic perception. -

Johannes Fritz, a biologist, needed to come up with a plan, again, if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.
To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis(朱鹭)—which had once disappeared entirely from the wild on the continent—needs to migrate south for the winter, over the Alps, before the mountains become impassable. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate, and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, Mr. Fritz decided he would teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. And he was confident he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan because he had done it before.
Mr. Fritz was his young pupils' sole provider of food, love and cuddles since they'd been just a few days old, and the ibises eagerly followed their teacher. He learned to fly, modifying an ultralight aircraft so it would cruise at speeds slow enough for his winged students to keep up. In 2014, three years after some initially bumpy experiments,Mr. Fritz led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led 15 such migrations. Over that time, he has rewilded 277 young ibises, many of which then started to pass the route on to their own young. For now, however, the main worry is getting the birds to follow the aircraft. "While they have a strong bond with their 'mothers' and follow them around on the ground, flying is more difficult, " Fritz said.
'Fly Away Home was a huge hit with us biologists, "Mr. Fritz said, recalling the 1996 movie in which characters lead the migration of orphaned Canada geese in a hang glider. When Mr. Fritz proclaimed he'd do the same with the ibises, he was initially ridiculed. But through years of trial and error, he succeeded. He even learned to fly like a bird, he said, soaring with ease. Mr. Frita's two sons, both now teenagers, followed their flying father and the migrating birds on the ground, and his family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. But the inevitable risks are "necessary", Mr. Fritz said.
