According to a paper to be published in Psychological Science this has an interesting psychological effect. A group of researchers, led by Eugene Caruso of the University of Chicago, found that people judge the distance of events 36 , depending on whether they are in the past or future. The paper calls this the "Temporal Doppler Effect". In physics, the Doppler effect describes the way that waves change frequency depending on whether their 37 is travelling towards or away from you. Mr. Caruso argues that something similar happens with people's perception of time. Because future events are associated with diminishing distance, while those in the past are thought of as 38 , something happening in one month feels psychologically 39 than something that happened a month ago.
This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323 40 and divided them into two groups. A week before Valentine's day, members of the first were asked how they planned to celebrate it. A week after February 14th the second group reported how they had celebrated it. Both groups also had to describe how near the day felt on a 41 of one to seven. Those describing forthcoming plans-were more likely to report it as feeling "a short time from now", while those who had already 42 it tended to cluster at the "a long time from now" end of the scale. To account for the risk that recalling actual events requires different cognitive functions than imagining ones that have not yet happened, they also asked participants to 43 the distance of hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry (不對稱) remained.
Mr. Caruso speculates that his research has 44 for psychological well-being. He suspects that people who do not show this bias-those who feel the past as being closer-might be more 45 to rumination( 沉思)or depression ,because they are more likely to dwell on past events.
36.E)。詳解 空格所在賓語從句主謂賓完整，推測應填入副詞。後文提到“依據它們是已經歷過的還是沒發生的而有所不同”，因此E)differently“不同地”爲答案。備選副詞中apparently“顯然地”與句意不符，故排除。
37.M)詳解 空格位於人稱代詞所有格後，應填入名詞作主語。根據後半句“向你走來還是遠離你”可知，此處單詞應與波形的運動方式或發出點有關，因此M)source“來源”符合句意，故爲答案。備選名詞中implications“暗示”、prospect“前景”、scale“等級”和volunteers“志願者”與句意不符，故均排除。
38.K)。詳解 空格在介詞as之後，推測應填入動詞-ing形式或名詞。空格所在句爲原因狀語從句，並有連接詞while表示兩種情況的對比，主句的大意是“一個月後要發生的事情在心理上感覺比一個月前發生過的事情距離更近”。空格處單詞描述的是those in past，因此應與“距離遠”的意思相關。因此K)receding“(距離上)逐漸遠離”爲答案。備選-ing形式動詞中，advancing意爲“前進”，與文意不符，故排除。
39.D)。詳解 空格位於than前，可知應填入形容詞比較級。前文說到，未來的事情與距離消失相關，過去的.事情往往傾向於遠離，即未來的事情我們會感覺近些，過去的事情我們感覺遠些。D)closer“更近的”符合文意，故爲答案。備選形容詞中，只有一個比較級，亦可直接選出答案。
40.O)。詳解 空格位於數字323之後，故應填入複數可數名詞。結合句意“研究者邀請了323名__________，並把他們分成兩組。”可知，0)volunteers“志願者”與文意相符，故爲答案。在備選名詞中，另一個複數形式的名詞implications“暗示”與文意不符，故排除;備選詞subject也可看作是名詞“受試者”，但不是複數形式，故排除。
41.L)。空格 在不定冠詞a與介詞of之間，應填入名詞。結合句意 “兩組都被要求按一至七的描述他們對情人節感覺的距離”可知，0n a scale of“按……的等級”與文意相符，故L)爲答案。備選名詞中prospect“前景”和implications“暗示”均不符合句意，故排除。
42，G)。詳解 空格與前面的主動詞had構成定語從句的謂語，推測應填入過去分詞。前文提到那些描述未來計劃的人感覺時間短，後文應表達的是那些描述已經過去事件者的感覺，因此G)experienced“經歷”符合句意，故爲答案。其他備選動詞形式不符，可直接排除。
43.J)。詳解 空格在動詞不定式to後，應填入動詞原形。前文提到了研究人員要求志願者們給未來和已經發生事情的遠近感覺評1～7的等級，因此這裏的意思應是他們還要求參與者爲想象中未來和過去事情的遠近感覺評等級，故J)rate“評級”爲答案。備選動詞中evaluate“評價”意思相近，但不如rate表意準確，故排除。
44.H)。詳解 空格位於動詞has後，且後接for，應填入能與for搭配的名詞，因此H)implications“暗示”爲答案。
45.N)。詳解 空格位於謂語might be後，且前面有more修飾，後接不定式to，推測應填入能與to搭配的形容詞原形。結合句意 “他懷疑那些沒有這種偏向性的人們，……可能更常——多思或沮喪的侵擾”。be subject to“受……支配，常遭受”符合文意.故N)爲答案。備選形容詞中available不與to搭配，故排除。
