14、ain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also participate. (76)UIt may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies./UYou surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to

15、 music not only with your ears but with your whole body. 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 concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a g

16、ood conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may 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.(77)

17、 UThe muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable./U（分数：5.00）(1).Some psychologists think that thinking is _（分数：1.00）A.not a mental processB.more of a physical process than a mental a

21、veBPassage 2/BIt is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78)UThe meanings of thou- sands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory

22、./UMemory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (79)UMemory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be- caus

23、e he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. /UMemory 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

24、 use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of 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. Ho

25、wever, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for ex- ample, 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.

28、 an adult human being sC.the computer s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager sD.both A and B(3).The whole passage implies that _（分数：1.00）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

29、 only very simple problemsD.animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence(4).The phrase “in terms of“ in the last sentence can best be replaced by _（分数：1.00）A.“in connection with“B.“expressed by“C.“consisting“D.“by means of“(5).The topic of the passage is:_（分数：1.00）A.What would life b

30、e like without memory?B.Memory is of vital importance to life.C.How is a person s memory different from an animal s or a computers?D.What is contained in memory?BPassage 3/BToday anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services.

33、er and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver w

34、ere inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money.
