Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the centre. Passage 1 Experienced baseball fielders can tell how far a ball is going to travel just by listening to the crack of the bat. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t stand a chance of catching it, claims a physicist in New York. “When a baseball is hit straight at an outfielder, he cannot quickly judge the angle of the scent and the distance the ball will travel,” says Robert Adair, a physicist at Yale University. If he relied purely upon visual information, the fielder would have to wait for about one-and-a-half seconds before he could tell accurately if the pitcher hit the ball long or short. By this time the ball may have traveled too far for him to reach it in time. To stand a fighting chance of catching it, according to Adair, fielders must listen to the sound the ball hitting the bat to judge how far it will travel. There is anecdotal evidence to support this, he says. A former centre fielder told Adair: “If I heard a crack I ran out, if I heard a clunk, I ran in.” To test his hypothesis, Adair calculated how quickly a fielder could change direction if he had misjudged whether the ball was going long or short. The difference between the “crack” and “clunk” can be explained by how well the batter has hit the ball, and could mean a difference in running distance of as much as 30 meters, he told delegates at a meeting of the Acoustical Society of American in Chicago last week. Scientists already knew that to hit a ball long the batter must strike it somewhere near the vibrational node of the bat, known as the sweet spot. Balls hit on the sweet spot generate fewer energy-sapping vibrations in the bat, allowing greater energy transfer to the ball. Conversely, mishit balls make the bat vibrate strongly and so do not travel as far. Adair is quick to point out that this only applies to wooden bats, which are used in major league baseball. Aluminum bats, on the other hand, tend to produce a fairly uniform “ping” sound regardless of where you hit them. 56. According to Robert Adair, why can’t an outfielder rely purely on visual information? A. Because it may take longer time for him to exert judgment. B. Because the ball may change directions during flight. C. Because the ball may be hit either long or short. D. Because light travels faster than sound. 57. From paragraph 3 we can infer that a “crack” may mean_______. A. a long ball B. a short ball C. a good ball D. a mishit ball （http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=12557434573） 浙大考博英语实惠资料，真正 Word 电子版 58. If the bat vibrates very little, ________. A. the fielder is unable to catch the sound B. the ball will travel to a short distance C. the ball may receive greater energy D. the fielder should quickly run in 59. Adair points out that his theory can’t be applied to aluminum bats because _______. A. the “ping” sound is too vague for a fielder to catch B. with the aluminum bats the batter always hits the ball stronger C. they don’t produce different sounds of “crack” and “clunk” D. the sounds they produce may interfere with the fielder’s judgment 60. Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea of this passage? A. Hitting the ball to produce different sounds is not an easy matter. B. The sound of the bat may give fielders more chances to catch the ball. C. Aluminum bats are inferior to the wooden ones. D. The study of Robert Adair shocks the Acoustical Society of America. Passage 2 Have you ever felt your life go into slow motion as you realize something bad is happening? You might have just knocked over a wine glass or noticed a car hurtling towards you, for example. Now scientists have measured exactly how much these attention-grabbing events slow down our perception of the world around us. Another example of the world appearing to slow down is when you are hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up at the other end. If your attention wanders while you’re waiting, then suddenly switches back, you will probably hear what seems like a longer than usual silence before hearing the dialing tone again. For you, time will have momentarily slowed. To see how our perception of time changes when something new happens, Vincent Walsh and his colleagues put headphones on volunteers and played eight beeps to their right ears. The gap between each beep was exactly 1 second, except for the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps, which the scientists could make shorter or longer. They altered the length of this gap until the volunteers estimated it was the same length as the other gaps. The researchers found that, on average, people judge a second slightly short, at 955milliseconds. In the second part of the experiment, the first four beeps were played to the subjects’ right ear, but the other four were then played to their left. Again, the volunteers were asked to estimate when the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps was the same as the others. This time they judged a second to be even shorter as 825milliseconds long. Perceiving a second to be much shorter than it is makes you feel as though the world has gone into slow motion, since less happens in that slice of time. Walsh thinks the effect could have evolved to give us a fraction more lime to react to potentially threatening events. Last year, Kieran Yarrow, a British psychologist found a similar effect with vision. When you glance at a clock, the first second will seem longer than it really is. Yarrow’s results showed that time appear to slow down by a similar amount as Walsh found. （http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=12557434573） 浙大考博英语实惠资料，真正 Word 电子版 Previous studies have shown that cooling the body slows down our perception of time while warming it up has the opposite effect. 61. After you noticed a car hurtling towards you, you might feel that________. A. the world around you had slowed down B. something bad was going to happen C. life had suddenly become meaningless D. people’s life was so fragile 62. According to the passage, hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up at the other end, you might________. A. have a high concentration of mind. B. feel very annoyed at the people on the other end C. feel time is somehow slowed down D. be unable to hear the dialing tone 63. Vincent Walsh and his colleagues did the experiment in order to ________. A. see which ear is more sensitive to beeps B. find out the relationship between time an
