14、c levitation vehicles, according to a report by Argonne National Laboratories. But before “maglev“ vehicles can become commercial successes, the report says, people need to stop thinking of them as high-speed trains. Instead, consider them low-flying aircraft. Argonne contends that maglev vehicles w

15、ill be best suited to replace commuter aircraft. Plane flights under 600 miles are the least energy-efficient, and maglev “planes“ should cut these fuel needs by up to 75 percent.

16、 in 20 years. The quiet purr of levitating crafts would also be a balm for neighborhoods tormented by the roar of conventional takeoffs and landings.

21、ng more attention. Distribution involves warehousing, transporting and keeping inventory of manufactured products. Take an everyday product like fabric softener. After it comes off the assembly line, its packed in cartons and trucked to warehouses around the country. When orders come in from retaile

22、rs, the fabric softener is delivered to supermarket shelves. This is distribution.Probably the most crucial area for controlling costs is inventory. Companies dont want to overproduce and have unsold stock of their product piled up in warehouses. Wholesale companies and large retail chains employ se

23、veral techniques for inventory control. This is where the computer revolution really had an impact. Computerized information systems give precise and up-to-date accounts of inventory on hand.

29、ticipate. 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. Few people can listen to music that is more or less fam

30、iliar without moving their body or mom specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason

31、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 mental process of thinking in the same

32、 way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.26 Some psychologists maintain 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 br

35、（B） Music Appreciation（C） How Muscles Participate in Mental Acts（D）A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process三、Part III ClozeDirections: There are ten blanks in the following passage.

40、 relative. Some stated that helping others would【B9 】them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping【B10 】now, they would deserve care when they became old and dependent.
