12、 of cotton.（A）impressed（B） effected（C） dismissed（D）affected30 Some psychologists(心理学家)maintain that mental acts such as thinking 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 mus
13、ic 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(交响乐的)concert o
14、n 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 possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The lis
15、tener “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. 31 Some psychologists think that thinking is_.（
16、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 brain32 The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similiar in that_.（A）both are mental acts（B） muscles particip
17、ate in both processes（C） both processes are performed by the entire body（D）we derive equal enjoyment from them33 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 t
18、hey could conduct music properly34 The listener s way of “feeling“ the music is_.（A）the unnoticed motion of his muscles（B） participating in the performance（C） bending an ear to the music（D）being the conductor of the orchestra35 According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinkin
19、g is_.（A）deliberate（B） apparent（C） indistinct（D）impressive35 I knew a man who was asked to be the new dean(院长)of the College of Business of a large university. When he first arrived, he studied the situation the college faced and felt that what it needed most was money. He recognized that he had a u
20、nique capacity to raise money, and he developed a real sense of vision about fund-raising as his primary function. This created a problem in the college because past deans had focused mainly on meeting day-to-day faculty needs. This new dean was never there. He was running around the country trying
21、to raise money for research. But he was not attending to the day-to-day things as the previous dean had. The faculty, who were used to working with the person at the top, had to work through his administrative assistant. The faculty became so upset with his absence that they sent a delegation to the
22、 president of the university to demand a new dean or a fundamental change in his leadership style. The president, who knew what the dean was doing, said, “Relax. He has a good administrative assistant. Give him some more time. “Within a short time, the money started pouring in and the faculty began
23、to recognize the vision. It wasn t long until every time they saw the dean, they would say, “ Get out of here! We don t want to see you. Go out and bring in more funds. Your administrative assistant runs this office better than anyone else. “This man admitted to me later that the mistake he made was
24、 not doing enough team building, enough explaining, enough educating about what he was trying to accomplish. From him I learned a powerful lesson. We need to constantly be asking ourselves. “What is needed out there, and what is my unique strength?“36 The new dean thought that the most important thi
25、ng for him to do was to_.（A）gain a sense of vision（B） set up a primary goal（C） win the trust of the faculty（D）raise money37 The new dean was different from the past deans in that_.（A）he was less responsible（B） he didnt attend to daily things（C） he had an administrative assistant（D）he didn t like to
26、talk with others38 We can learn from the passage that the faculty .（A）was not well paid for their work（B） didnt understand the new dean s ideas at first（C） had a conflict with the president of the university（D）didn t want to work with the administrative assistant39 The faculty would ask the new dean
27、 to get out because they_.（A）were upset by his leadership style（B） wanted to get rid of him（C） were unhappy with his explanation（D）wanted him to bring back more money40 What was the mistake the new dean realized he had made?（A）He was absent all the year around.（B） He was insensitive to the faculty s
28、 needs.（C） He didnt communicate well with the faculty.（D）He didn t work hard to accomplish his goal. 40 Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our i
29、ntelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of
30、a person s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relati
31、onship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely b
32、e as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for exam
33、ple, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact
34、 with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. 41 If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_.（A）not reach his intelligence in his life（B） go beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundings（C） still become a genius if he should be given
35、special education（D）become a genius42 “If we take two unrelated people at random from the population“(Para. 2)means if we_.（A）choose two persons with different intelligence（B） choose two persons who are relative（C） take out two persons of close relationship（D）pick any two persons43 The example of th
36、e twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_.（A）the part that birth plays（B） the importance of their positions（C） the role of environment on intelligence（D）the important of their intelligence44 The writer is in favor of the view that man s intelligence is given to him_.（A）neither
37、 at birth nor through environment（B） both at birth and through environment（C） through environment（D）at birth45 The best title of this passage can be_.（A）Effect of Education（B） Dependence on Environment（C） Intelligence（D）Surroundings45 No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. T
38、here are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like The Washington Post or The New York Times have a powerful influence all o
39、ver the country. However, the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limi
40、t themselves to state or city news. Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “ sensational“, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertai
41、n as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspape
42、rs attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these pipers print columns by well known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture. As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsibl
43、e or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals(丑闻)or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War. 46 T
44、here are fewer national newspapers in_.（A）Britain than in the USA（B） France than in Britain（C） the USA than in Britain or France（D）France than in the USA or Britain47 Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because_.（A）they have to keep up a good relation with them（B） they have to co
45、mpete with television（C） they have to write about crime, sex and rumor（D）they have to give factual news in an interesting way48 Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by_.（A）supporting extremist groups from time to time（B） inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to wr
46、ite articles for them（C） avoiding carrying articles about extremists（D）printing articles representing different political viewpoints49 In this passage, the word “press“(Para. 2)means_.（A）a machine for printing（B） the business of printing（C） great force（D）newspapers50 The passage is mainly about_.（A）
47、the characteristics of American newspapers（B） the development of American newspapers（C） the functions of American newspapers（D）the merits and shortcomings of American newspapers二、Cloze50 More and more students want to study in “hot“ majors.【C1 】_a result, many students want to【C2】_their interests an
