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 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 good conductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all pos-sible 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 way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.11. Some psychologists think that thinking is_.A. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain答案：D12. 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 processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them答案：B13. 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 that they could conduct music properly答案：A14. 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：B15. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is_.A. deliberateB. apparentC. indistinctD. impressive答案：CIt is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands 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 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. 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 humans and animals but also in some physical objects and ma-chines. 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 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 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 aperson s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.16. 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：B17.

The whole passage implies that_.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：C19.

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 computer s?D. What is contained in memory ?答案：BToday anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and 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 and 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 cen-tre. People strung them together 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 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. 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 days of shell money until today.21.

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：A24. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy some-thing 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：C25.

It has improved communi-cation, simplifiod handling tasks, offered a huge convenience, enabled faster processing, and pro-vided mote options, all of which frees more time to do other things. Yet, interestingly enough, the Internet has in some ways had negative effects.

You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below.1.凡事均应有信心;2.自信心的重要性;3.有了正确的态度，建立信心是可能的。答案：The Importance of Self-confidenceSelf-confidence is very important to our life. As a wise man once said, “If you have no confi-dence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started. “If you are full of self-confidence, your creativeness, your enthusiasm will all be aroused, and you will overcome difficulties. As a result, your dreams will come true. On the contrary, if you have no confidence in yourself, there is little possibility that you would ever achieve anything.Failure will be following you. But self-confidence comes only when you know yourself. You should know both your weaknesses and strengths. Only after this can you be well in doing great things.
