Ⅰ.阅读理解
Passage 1
（原创）Silence might not be deafening but it's something that literally can be
heard. This conclusion was reached by a team of scientists who used auditory
illusions（听觉错觉） to reveal how moments of silence change people's perception
of time.
“We typically think of our sense of hearing as being concerned with sounds.
But silence, whatever it is, is not a sound—it's the absence of sound,” said lead
author Rui Zhe Goh. “Contrary to most people's belief, what our work suggests is
that nothing is also something you can hear.”
The team adapted well-known auditory illusions to create versions in which the
sounds of the original illusions were replaced by moments of silence.
The fact that these silence-based illusions produced exactly the same results as
sound-based counterparts suggests that people hear silence just like they hear sounds,
the researchers said.
Like optical illusions that trick what people see, auditory illusions can make
people hear periods of time as being longer or shorter than they actually are. One
example is known as the one-is-more illusion, where one long beep（哔哔声）
seems longer than two short continuous beeps, even when the two sequences are
equally long.
In tests involving 1,000 participants, the team swapped the sounds in the one-
is-more illusion with moments of silence, re-working the auditory illusion into what
they called the one-silence-is-more illusion. They found the same results: People
thought one long moment of silence was longer than two short moments of silence.
Other silence illusions yielded the same outcomes as sound illusions.
Participants were asked to focus on what was like the din of busy restaurants,
markets, and train stations. They then listened for periods within those audio tracks
when all the sounds stopped abruptly, creating a brief silence. The idea wasn't
simply that silence made people experience illusions, the researchers said. It was
that the same illusions that the scientists thought could only be caused by sounds
worked just as well when the sounds were replaced by silences.
The findings establish a new way to study the perception of absence, the team
said.
语篇解读 文章主要介绍了科学家如何利用听觉错觉来揭示沉默时刻是如何误导
人们对时间的感知的。
1.How did most people feel about the finding ( )
C
A.Proud. B.Annoyed. C.Surprised. D.Satisfied.
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Contrary to most people's belief, what our
work suggests is that nothing is also something you can hear.”可推知，研究结果与
大多数人的想法相反，因此人们会对结果感到吃惊。
2.What can be known in the one-is-more illusion ( )
A
A.People mishear the length of beeps.
B.All participants get different results.
C.The time between beeps is hard to hear.
D.Moments of silence are longer than those of sounds.
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“One example is known as the one-is-more
illusion, where one long beep seems longer than two short continuous beeps， even
when the two sequences are equally long.”可知，在one-is-more的错觉下，人们会听
错哔哔声的时长。
3.What does the underlined word “din” in Paragraph 7 probably mean ( )
B
A.Difference. B.Noise. C.Scene. D.Smell.
解析 词句猜测题。根据第七段可知，本段介绍声音和沉默的声音，再结合后面的
listened for可以推断画线词意为“噪声”。
4.What is mainly talked about in the text ( )
C
A.You can be tricked by sounds. B.Silence can also be measured.
C.The sound of silence can be heard. D.Auditory and visual illusions are alike.
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员利用听觉错觉来证实沉
默时刻如何让人们有错误的感知，证实了人们也能够像听见声音一样听到沉默。故C
选项“The sound of silence can be heard.”符合题意。
Passage 2
（2023·湖南怀化模拟）Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space,
like behind a couch or a cupboard Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to squeeze
in and out New innovations in the field of robotics will soon be able to make
this nice idea into a reality.
In a study published on Jan 25 in the science journal Matter, engineers from
the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US
have developed small robots that can quickly change back and forth from liquid to
solid states.
According to the website Mashable， the scientists were inspired by sea
cucumbers. The robots are able to change the stiffness （僵硬度） of their body or
reduce the potential for physical damage. The robots in the study were made from
gallium （镓）, a soft metal with a low melting point of 30 . The scientists then
used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles inside the
gallium material to provide heat. This heat then allowed the robots to change
between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.
As the website Tech Xplore pointed out, other similar materials require external
heat sources such as heat guns and electrical currents to induce a change of states;
but now, the robots can use a heat source inside itself to change states
independently. During the robots' experimental trials， the scientists conducted a
number of tests. These tests included having the robots melt into liquid and re-form
to escape a prison-like cage. They can remove a foreign object from and deliver
medicinal drugs to a model stomach. The robots are also able to build and repair
hard-to-reach circuits. The robots' ability to switch between states of matter allows
for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields, such as the
biomedical and circuit assembly （组装） industries.
Still, in the words of senior author Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon
University, for now these are all just “proofs of concept” which show the abilities
of these new kind of robots.
语篇解读 来自香港中文大学和美国卡内基梅隆大学的工程师开发了能够快速在
液态和固态这两种状态之间切换的小型机器人。
5.Why can the robots switch between solid and liquid states ( )
C
A.They can reduce the potential for physical damage.
B.They are able to change the stiffness of their body.
C.They consist of a unique metal and magnetic particles.
D.They have external heat sources any time any where.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，这项研究中的机器人是由镓制成的，镓是一种
熔点为30摄氏度的软金属。然后，科学家们利用磁场的变化来控制镓材料内部的磁
性粒子以提供热量。这种热量使机器人能够在固态和液态之间变化，也可以四处移
动。由此可知，机器人能够在固态和液态之间变化是因为它们由独特的金属和磁性
粒子组成。
6.What does the underlined word “induce” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ( )
B
A.Witness. B.Cause. C.Remove. D.Accept.
解析 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“This heat then allowed the robots to change
between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.”，第四段画线词上文中
的heat guns and electrical currents和下文中的change of states可知，热风枪和电流
是导致物体状态变化发生的原因。由此可知，画线词意为“引起；导致”。故B选项与
之意义一致。
7.What will be the function of the robots ( )
C
A.To help scientists inspire sea cucumbers.
B.To put a couch into a hard-to-reach space.
C.To get rid of foreign objects from an organ.
D.To assist people in escaping a prison-like cage.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They can remove a foreign object from and
deliver medicinal drugs to a model stomach.”可知，这种机器人将来可能会具有的功
能是清除器官中的异物。
8.Where is the text probably taken from ( )
D
A.A health report. B.A science fiction.
C.A chemistry textbook. D.A scientific magazine.
解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文谈到了机器人，是一篇讲述最新科技发明的
说明文，因此最有可能出现在科学杂志中。
