13、rmed in the brain alone, but that one s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our 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 ears but with your whole body.
14、 Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic(交响乐的)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 ma
15、y be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot 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. The muscles of the body actually participate in the men
16、tal process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.（分数：10.00）(1).Some psychologists think that thinking is_.（分数：2.00）A.not a mental processB.more of a physical process than a mental actionC.a process that involves our entire bodiesD.a proces
17、s that involves the muscles as well as the brain(2).The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similiar in that_.（分数：2.00）A.both are mental actsB.muscles participate in both processesC.both processes are performed by the entire bodyD.we derive equal enjoyment from them(3).Few people
18、are able to listen to familiar music without_.（分数：2.00）A.moving some part of their bodyB.stopping what they are doing to listenC.directing the orchestra playing itD.wishing that they could conduct music properly(4).The listener s way of “feeling“ the music is_.（分数：2.00）A.the unnoticed motion of his
19、musclesB.participating in the performanceC.bending an ear to the musicD.being the conductor of the orchestra(5).According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is_.（分数：2.00）A.deliberateB.apparentC.indistinctD.impressiveI knew a man who was asked to be the new dean(院长)of the
20、 College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money. He recognized that he had a unique capacity to raise money, and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function. T
21、his created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs. This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty
22、, who were used to working with the person at the top, had to work through his administrative assistant. The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president, wh
23、o knew what the dean was doing, said, “Relax. He has a good administrative assistant. Give him some more time. “ Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began to recognize the vision. It wasn t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say, “ Get out of here! We d
24、on t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds. Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else. “ This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was not doing enough team building, enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish. From
25、him I learned a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves. “What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?“（分数：10.00）(1).The new dean thought that the most important thing for him to do was to_.（分数：2.00）A.gain a sense of visionB.set up a primary goalC.win the trust of the
26、 facultyD.raise money(2).The new dean was different from the past deans in that_.（分数：2.00）A.he was less responsibleB.he didnt attend to daily thingsC.he had an administrative assistantD.he didn t like to talk with others(3).We can learn from the passage that the faculty .（分数：2.00）A.was not well paid
27、 for their workB.didnt understand the new dean s ideas at firstC.had a conflict with the president of the universityD.didn t want to work with the administrative assistant(4).The faculty would ask the new dean to get out because they_.（分数：2.00）A.were upset by his leadership styleB.wanted to get rid
28、of himC.were unhappy with his explanationD.wanted him to bring back more money(5).What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?（分数：2.00）A.He was absent all the year around.B.He was insensitive to the faculty s needs.C.He didnt communicate well with the faculty.D.He didn t work hard to acco
29、mplish his goal.Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a geniu
30、s out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will
31、depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if
32、we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and childre
33、n, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon
34、find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of in
35、telligence.（分数：10.00）(1).If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.（分数：2.00）A.not reach his intelligence in his lifeB.go beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsC.still become a genius if he should be given special educationD.become a genius(2).“If we take two unrelated people at
36、random from the population“(Para. 2)means if we_.（分数：2.00）A.choose two persons with different intelligenceB.choose two persons who are relativeC.take out two persons of close relationshipD.pick any two persons(3).The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.（分数：2
37、.00）A.the part that birth playsB.the importance of their positionsC.the role of environment on intelligenceD.the important of their intelligence(4).The writer is in favor of the view that man s intelligence is given to him_.（分数：2.00）A.neither at birth nor through environmentB.both at birth and throu
38、gh environmentC.through environmentD.at birth(5).The best title of this passage can be_.（分数：2.00）A.Effect of EducationB.Dependence on EnvironmentC.IntelligenceD.SurroundingsNo country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan,
39、164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like The Washington Post or The New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, the Post and the Times are not natio
40、nal newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news. Like the press in most oth
41、er countries, American newspapers range from the “ sensational“, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with t
42、elevision. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are ess
43、entially moderate. Many of these pipers print columns by well known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture. As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the Amer
44、ican press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals(丑闻)or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.（分数：10.00）(1).There are fewer national newspapers in_.（分数：2.00）A.Br
45、itain than in the USAB.France than in BritainC.the USA than in Britain or FranceD.France than in the USA or Britain(2).Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because_.（分数：2.00）A.they have to keep up a good relation with themB.they have to compete with televisionC.they have to write
46、about crime, sex and rumorD.they have to give factual news in an interesting way(3).Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by_.（分数：2.00）A.supporting extremist groups from time to timeB.inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC.avoiding carryi
47、ng articles about extremistsD.printing articles representing different political viewpoints(4).In this passage, the word “press“(Para. 2)means_.（分数：2.00）A.a machine for printingB.the business of printingC.great forceD.newspapers(5).The passage is mainly about_.（分数：2.00）A.the characteristics of Ameri
48、can newspapersB.the development of American newspapersC.the functions of American newspapersD.the merits and shortcomings of American newspapers三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：30.00)More and more students want to study in “hot“ majors.【C1】_a result, many students want to【C2】_their interests and study in these area
