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. Reportedly, the money saved by a 2,000-mile maglev network linking major cities world more than pay for its construction
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. And the field of distribution offers good entry-level jobs for persons with training in computer programming
24、 or data processing.Overseeing the whole area of distribution is the distribution manager. This job is becoming increasingly important and can lead to an executive position.21 According to the passage, why is the distribution step in marketing getting more attention?（A）It is where companies research
25、 and develop new products.（B） It is where companies can cut costs.（C） It is where employees can update their computer skills.（D）It provides jobs for college graduates.22 Why does the writer mention fabric softener?（A）To advertise a new product.（B） To show how companies set the price of an item.（C） T

27、re computers important in distribution?（A）They can accurately report on inventory.（B） They provide good training in computer programming.（C） They make it easier for managers to supervise people.（D）They train people for executive positions.25 What is this passage mainly talking about?（A）The use of co
28、mputers for sale of products.（B） The distribution step in the marketing process.（C） Cost control in inventory of a product.（D）Wholesale and retail chains of a product.25 Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that ones muscles also par
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
33、ain27 Few people are able to listen to familiar music without _.（A）moving some part of their body（B） stopping what they are doing to listen（C） directing the orchestra playing it（D）wishing that they could conduct music properly28 Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to _.（A）hear the

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.

36、er on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.31 Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They are left in the hands of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their【B1 】children visit them only occasionally, but more often

39、elieve that they are the best people for the job. In other words, they all felt that they【B7】do the job better than anyone else. Social workers interviewed caregivers to find out why they took on the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had【B8】to help their
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. Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfying experience for everyone who might be involved.31
