15、 part. 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 on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1 Some psychologists(心理學家

16、) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also participate. (76)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 list

17、en 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. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, he is attracted to direct the orchestra (樂隊) even though he knows there i

18、s 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 participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener feels himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.

19、 (77) 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 noticeable. 1. Some psychologists think that thinking is _A.not a mental processB.more of a physical process than a mental actionC.a process

20、 that involves our entire bodiesD.a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain答案:D事實細節(jié)題。第一段第一句提到一些心理學家認為精神活動如思考不僅是大腦的活動，而且肌肉也參與其中，所以選D。2. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in that _A.both are mental actsB.muscles participate in both processesC.both proces

21、ses are performed by the entire bodyD.we derive equal enjoyment from them答案:B事實細節(jié)題。第一段最后一句提到我們用肌肉思考與用身體聽音樂在某種程度上是一樣的，所以選B。3. Few people are able to listen to familiar music without_.A.moving some part of their bodyB.stopping what they are doing to listenC.directing the orchestra playing itD.wishing

22、that they could conduct music properly答案:A事實細節(jié)題。第二段中提到很少有人聽音樂時不扭動自己的身體，所以選A。4. The listener s way of feeling the music is_A.the unnoticed motion of his musclesB.participating in the performanceC.bending an ear to the musicD.being the conductor of the orchestra答案:B推理判斷題。第三段第二句提到如果一個人不參與到音樂中，也就是音樂演奏中，

23、那他就無法從音樂中獲得所有的樂趣。5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is_A.deliberateB.apparentC.indistinctD.impressive答案:C事實細節(jié)題。文章最后句提到肌肉以同樣的方式參與了思考的過程，但并不是十分明顯，因為它不是很容易被注意到。distinct“明顯的，顯著的”，前綴in表示否定。indistinct“不明顯的，不顯著的”。Passage 2 It is difficult to imagine what life would

24、 be like without memory. (78)The 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. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep informati

25、on 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)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be- cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memo

26、ry 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 to compare the memory-storage capacity

27、 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. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information

28、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. A large part of a person s memory is in terms of words and combinations of word

29、s. 1. According to the passage, memory is considered to be _.A.the basis for decision making and problem solvingB.an ability to store experiences for future useC.an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words答案:B事實細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段的第一句，記憶

30、力就是儲存信息以供將來使用的能力。所以選B。A、C、D都是記憶力特點的一個方面，不能單獨解釋記憶力。2. The comparison made between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that_.A.the computer s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager sB.the computer s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human be

31、ing sC.the computer s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager sD.both A and B答案:C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第三段，一臺計算機存儲的“詞匯”能達到100，000個；而一個十幾歲的少年的詞匯量也能達到100，000個。然而，根據(jù)文章，100，000個單詞只是一個十幾歲的少年全部記憶存儲的一小部分。所以，計算機的“記憶”儲備量要比一個十幾歲的少年的記憶存儲量小得多。因為比較是在計算機和青少年之間進行的，與成年人無關(guān)，所以不能選B。3. The whole passage implies that

32、_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 problems by instincts rather than intelligence答案:C推理判斷題。從文章第二段小老鼠的例子可判斷，動物也有記憶，也有一定解決問題的智力，所以C是對的。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句提

33、到的“高級智力advanced intelligence”可知動物也有智力，只是相比人類智力低而已，所以A說只有人類才有解決問題的智力是不準確的；D說動物解決問題靠本能而不靠智力也是不對的。而根據(jù)文章的第三段，計算機在存儲“詞匯”方面和一個十幾歲的少年是一樣的，所以B說計算機存儲和人腦記憶在各方面都不一樣是錯誤的。4. The phrase in terms of in the last sentence can best be replaced by _A.in connection withB.expressed byC.consistingD.by means of答案:B推理判斷題。i

34、n terms of“根據(jù)；按照；用來說”。如果不知道該短語的意思，也可通過主語“一個人的大部分記憶”和“詞或詞組”之間的關(guān)系來判斷。本句的意思是一個人的大部分記憶都是靠問和詞組表達出來的。5. The topic of the passage is:_A.What would life be 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

35、memory?答案:B歸納概括題。文章的主題要根據(jù)內(nèi)容來確定。第一段講的是記憶的重要作用；第二段解釋記憶是什么及其表現(xiàn)；第三段講人類將記憶功能運用到機器如計算機當中，并將人的記憶與計算機記憶進行比較；第四段說大部分記憶都是通過詞匯表現(xiàn)的。四個選項當中只有B更貼近文章的主題，其他三個選項都只是文章涉及的一個方面，都不具有概括性。Passage 3 Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles an

36、d hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money. Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth a

37、nd knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too. The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them to

38、gether 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 si

39、lver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80)The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the da

40、ys of shell money until today. 1. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A.To sell a bicycle for $ 20.B.To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C.To buy things you need or want.D.To get paid for your work.答案:D常識經(jīng)驗題。只有D(工作換取錢)才是錢與服務(wù)的交換，

41、其余三項全是錢與商品的交換。2. Where were shells used as money in history?A.In the Philippines.B.In China.C.In Africa.D.We don t know.答案:D事實細節(jié)題。由于文章沒有提到貝殼最初是在哪里被用做貨幣的，所以選D。3. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A.Because it would be easier to put them together

42、 and carry them around.B.Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C.Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D.Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.答案:A事實細節(jié)題。見文章第四段的二、三兩句，中國古代的銅錢有孔，主要是因為人們?yōu)榱藬y帶方便要將之串起來。所以選A。4. Why does the author say

43、 that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A.Because they are easy to steal.B.Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C.Because they are not easy to carry around.D.Because they themselves are expensive, too.答案:C推理判斷題。由于金銀很重，如果要花很多錢買某件東西的話，攜帶起來會很不方便。5.

44、Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A.Money and Its UsesB.Different Things Used as MoneyC.Different Countries, Different MoneyD.The History of Money答案:D歸納概括題。本文章的寫作脈絡(luò)很清晰：先由今天的錢(紙幣或硬幣)說起，引出世界上最早的錢(每個國家都有不同的事物來充當貨幣)，接著談到最早的硬幣，之后隨著錢的改進，出現(xiàn)了紙幣。最后作者總結(jié)錢的發(fā)展是一段有趣的歷史?？梢娢恼碌闹饕獌?nèi)容是講錢的發(fā)展歷史，所以選D。
