Ⅴ. (2026·南京鼓楼实验中学期中)任务型阅读
注意:第1—6题每空一词,第7题和第8题答案词数不限。
This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by. As those in their 30s and 40s will know, the effect gets worse with age—and, for people in their 70s, a year can flash by what seems like days. "Where did the time go?" we wonder.
The best reason is that we can keep the important facts in mind longer when our brains have to process more information. Childhood and young adulthood are full of novelty(新奇)—the first time you rode a bike, had a romance, got a job—but as we get older, things get more routine (常规). You can test this out by remembering a recent experience of novelty in your life, such as travel. A few years back, I went skiing for the first time, and that four-day trip still feels "long". But I might have difficulty noticing a four-day period in my ordinary life.
One way that can work things out, then, is easy to see: try lots of new things. Travel more, if you can, and to strange places. Try new hobbies and meet new people—you'll be using your brain with a lot of efforts, and the result will be a life that feels longer, more meaningful. But small changes work too: even making a change in the route(路线) you take to the office, reading different kinds of novels or choosing a different place to buy your sandwich at lunchtime will have an influence on your feelings.
But novelty can only go so far. Besides, a fulfilling(令人满意的) life requires routine: you can't build deep relationships, or rise through the ranks at work if you always make new friends or get new jobs or even have new husbands or wives. That's why the Buddhist teacher Shizen Young suggests another method: learn to meditate(冥想). Even a few minutes a day will get you to have better concentration(专注), and the better you get at concentrating, and the more information your brain will take in during any experience, no matter how boring.
You need to believe in yourself. You'll be making your whole life a little more novel(新颖的). You'll be more present and time will pass less quickly; in fact, you'll make your life longer—without magic pills or creative medical technology.

This is an unusual truth that anyone older than 25 will already know: as life goes on, time seems to speed up. Think back to childhood when holidays seemed to last forever and you attended a school for what felt like decades. Now consider last year, by contrast, and it probably raced by.

解析
【分析】
拿到这篇任务型阅读，首先通读全文理清文章脉络：文章先提出“人过25岁后会感觉时间流逝变快”的现象，再分析该现象的背后成因，最后给出对应的解决建议。接下来逐个推导空格：
1. 第1空结合后半句instead of speeding up（而不是加速），要表达“让时间慢下来”，找和speed up反义的固定搭配即可。
2. 第2空定位原文第一段开头的原句，结合表格语义“25岁以上的人都熟知时间随年龄变快的规律”，匹配对应形容词。
3. 第3空观察右侧栏内容，是在解释“感觉时间变快”这个问题的产生逻辑，对应问题的成因相关词汇。
4. 第4空定位原文第二段“普通生活里很难留意到短时间段”的描述，转换为it is+adj+for sb to do的结构即可。
5. 第5空直接定位第三段描述尝试新事物的效果的原句，提取原词。
6. 第6空结合原文“小改变会影响你的感受”的语义，匹配对应的固定搭配。
7. 第7题定位第四段关于常规生活重要性的描述，整理出通顺的回答。
8. 第8题是开放性问题，给出符合文章逻辑的新活动、说明对应理由即可。
【解析】
1. 固定短语slow down意为“减速、慢下来”，和后文speed up（加速）构成反义对应，完全契合标题“如何让时间慢下来而非加速”的语义，填slow。
2. 原文第一段第一句点明“这是所有25岁以上的人都知道的不寻常的事实”，表格句意为“对25岁以上的人来说，时间随人生推进变快早已不是不寻常的事实”，填unusual。
3. 右侧栏内容是对“感觉时间变快”这一现象的成因解释，对应短语the cause of the problem，填cause。
4. 原文第二段提到当生活事物都变成常规，我们很难留意到普通生活里的短时间段，have difficulty doing sth等价于it is hard/difficult for sb to do sth，填hard/difficult。
5. 原文第三段明确说明尝试新事物的结果是生活会感觉更漫长、更有意义，直接提取原词meaningful。
6. 固定搭配make a difference意为“产生影响”，完全对应原文“小改变会对你的感受造成影响”的语义，填difference。
7. 定位原文第四段内容整理可得答案：充实的生活需要常规，才能建立深层人际关系、在工作中获得晋升，符合文本逻辑即可。
8. 开放性作答，只要给出合理的新活动，说明该活动会让大脑摄入更多信息、拉长时间感知的理由即可。
【答案】
1. slow
2. unusual
3. cause
4. hard/difficult
5. meaningful
6. difference
7. Because a fulfilling life needs routine for deep relationships and work.
8. Travelling. It uses brain with a lot of efforts. (开放性试题，答案言之有理即可)
