7、. 11 Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones 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 tha
8、t 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 symphonic concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct th
9、e 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 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 wi
10、th more or less noticeable motions of his body.

22、e economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycl
23、ed aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite(矾土 ) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from
24、these. Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily “paramagnetic“, or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through
25、 steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import. 21 The passage focuses on _. （ A） construction and manufacturing industry in the United States （ B） new technique of obtaining aluminum
26、 from poor ores （ C） consumption and production of aluminum in the United States （ D） the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States 22 It is believed that a new technique to _ will probably be found. （ A） recycle old aluminum products （ B） discover more bauxite ores （ C） make alumi

28、es in water, _. （ A） we can get ore particles of equal size （ B） we can purify aluminum particles （ C） we can filter out aluminum （ D） we can improve the working conditions around 25 We understand from the passage that the United States _. （ A） is rich in low-grade aluminum-bearing ores （ B） is shor
29、t of aluminum-making techniques （ C） has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminum （ D） has to produce fifty percent of the worlds supply to meet its annual aluminum demand 26 Service Ad Professional Typing Service announces a new location in Westside Mall, 1400 University Avenue acros

35、velopment of employment in state-owned enterprises (guanying or guanshang ). Started by some【 B2】 Qing officials, the yangwupai, in the late nineteenth century, sizable state-owned enterprises developed primarily【 B3】 enhancing Chinas national defense. Famous industrial giants of todays China such a
36、s the shipyards in Shanghai and heavy industries in cities like Wuhan, Nanjing, and Chongqing were built by the Qing or the Republic governments. Some of them later began to【 B4】 considerable private investment. After World War II, this type of state- owned employment became very important. Labor in
37、 those enterprises consisted basically【 B5】 two tiers: a largely market-oriented allocation of blue-collar and some white-collar workers, and a mostly state allocation of most of the white-collar workers including managerial and technical personnel.

38、red strong【 B6】 considerations in allocating and managing labor.
