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 decide

12、on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 10 Some psychologists(心理学家 )maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one s muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our

13、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. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body

14、. 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 derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he part

15、icipates, 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 mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeabl

16、e. 11 Some psychologists think that thinking is_. （ A） not a mental process （ B） more of a physical process than a mental action （ C） a process that involves our entire bodies （ D） a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain 12 The process of thinking and that of listening to music are

The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the d

20、ecisions 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. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering“ things like arithmetic or historical f

21、acts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory exists not only in h

22、umans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later 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 10

23、0,000 “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 information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example , the number of faces and places that the teenager

25、em solving （ B） an ability to store experiences for future use （ C） an intelligence typically possessed by human beings （ D） the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words 17 The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that_. （ A
