问题     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【C1】______, 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【C2】______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【C3】______, something happening in one month feels psychologically【C4】______than something that happened a month ago.
    This idea was tested in a series of experiments. In one, researchers asked 323【C5】______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【C6】______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【C7】______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【C8】______the distance of hypothetical events a month in the past or future. The asymmetry(不对称)remained.
    Mr. Caruso speculates that his research has【C9】______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【C10】______to rumination(沉思)or depression, because they are more likely to dwell on past events.
A)advancing I)prospect
B)apparently J)rate
C)available K)receding
D)closer L)scale
E)differently M)source
F)evaluate N)subject
G)experienced O)volunteers
H)implications
【C7】
选项
答案G
解析 空格与前面的主动词had构成定语从句的谓语，推测应填入过去分词。前文提到那些描述未来计划的人感觉时间短，后文应表达的是那些描述已经过去事件者的感觉，因此G)experienced“经历”符合句意，故为答案。其他备选动词形式不符，可直接排除。
