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 decideon the

16、best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performedin the brain alone, but that one' s muscles al

17、so participate. (76) It may be said that we think withour muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your earsbut with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving t

18、heir body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot

19、 derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener "feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.( 77 ) The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the samew

20、ay, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.1. Some psychologists think that thinking is A. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain2. The

21、 process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in that A. both are mental actsB. muscles participate in both processesC. both processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them3.

22、t of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly4. The listener's way of "feeling" the music is A. the unnoticed motion of his musclesB. "participating" in the performanceC. bending

23、an ear to the musicD. being the conductor of the orchestra5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is A. deliberateB. ApparentC. indistinct D. impressivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be lik

24、e without memory. (78) The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits andskills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information avail

25、able for later use. It includesnot only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change inthe way an animal typically behaves. (79)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be-cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Mem

26、ory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting tocompare the memory-storage capacity o

27、f a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 " words" -ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of

28、information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and combina

29、tions of words.6.

31、city is much smaller even than a teenager' sD. both A and B8. The whole passage implies that A. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person' s memory is different from a computer' s in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve

32、problems by instincts rather than intelligence9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced by A. "in connection with"B. "expressed by"C. "consisting"D. "by means of"10. The topic of the passage is: A. What would life be like

33、without memory ? B. Memory is of vital importance to life. C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a computer' s? D. What is contained in memory ?Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and se
