Some psychologists(心理学家)maintain that mental acts are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also participate. 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 familiar without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphony(交响乐)concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the orchestra(交响乐队)even though he knows that there is a competent conductor on the job. Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive(得到)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 pronounced 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 pronounced. 71. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in that _____. A) both are mental acts B) muscles participate in both processes C) both processes are performed by the entire body D) we derive equal enjoyment from them 72. The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of _____. A) “feeling” the music B) participating in the performance C) deriving enjoyment from the music D) all of the above 73. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to _____. A) hear the music B) comprehend the music C) enjoy the music fully D) completely understand the music 74. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking is _____. A) deliberate B) obvious C) not really apparent D) very pronounced 75. What is the best title for the passage? A) An Ear for Music B) Music Appreciation C) How Muscles Participate in Mental Acts D) A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process Passage Two Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage. Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion(伙伴)at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is security, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 to 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love for its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets. 76. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A) You can get help from the specialists. B) It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog. C) You should decide what kind of dog you want. D) Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too. 77. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog? A) The color of the dog. B) The price of the dog. C) Whether the dog will fit the environment. D) Whether the dog will get along with other pets in the house. 78. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat? A) It must be trained so that it won’t bite. B) It demands more food and space. C) It needs more love and care. D) It must be looked after carefully. 79. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old? A) It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old. B) They are less likely to be shy with human beings. C) They are less likely to run away. D) It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters. 80. The word “affection” (line 13) means _____. A) love B) effect C) tie D) relationship Part IV Translation (15’) 注意：此部分试题请在答题纸上作答。 Section A (2’×5=10’) Directions: For this part, complete each sentence by the Chinese given in the brackets. 81. __________ (正如水是液体中最重要的一样)，oxygen is the most important of gases. 82.
