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 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 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 way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.11. Some psychologists maintain 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 brain12. 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 properly13.

In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite 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 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 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 StatesB. new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor oresC. consumption and production of aluminum in the United StatesD. the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States22. It is believed that a new technique to _ will probably be found.A. recycle old aluminum productsB. discover more bauxite oresC. make aluminum by putting ore particles under waterD. take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores23. In the second paragraph the word “paramagnetic“ means _A. slightly magnetic B. a weak magnetic fieldC. a strong magnetic substance D. the under-water magnetic power24. By immersing ore particles in water, _A. we can get ore particles of equal size B. we can purify aluminum particlesC. we can filter out aluminum D. we can improve the working conditions around25. We understand from the passage that the United States _A. is rich in low-grade aluminum-bearing oresB. is short of aluminum-making techniquesC. has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminumD. has to produce fifty percent of the worlds supply to meet its annual aluminum demand Questions 26-30 are based on the following advertisement:Service AdProfessional Typing Service announces a new location in Westside Mall, 1400 University Avenue across from State University Student Union.We specialize in term papers, theses, and dissertations typed to the specifications of the Graduate School of State University.Twenty-four-hour service for fifty pages or less.

Perhaps the most important conclusion to be 32 from this evidence is 33 there is great variability among individuals in total sleep time. For adults, 34 between six and nine hours of sleep as a nightly average is not unusual, and 7.5 hours probably best expresses the norm. Such norms, of course, forms inevitably vary with the criteria of sleep employed. The most 35 and reliable figures on sleep time, including those cited here, come from studies in sleep laboratories, where EEG criteria are employed.36 consistently has been associated with the varying amount, quality, and pattern of electrophysiologically defined sleep. The newborn infant may spend an average of about 16 hours of each 24-hour period in sleep, 37 the sleep time drops sharply; by two years of age, it may 38 from nine to 12 hours. Decreases to approximately six hours have been observed among the elderly.39 will be discussed from below, EEG sleep studies have indicated that sleep can be considered to consist of several different stages. Developmental changes in the relative proportion of sleep time 40 in these sleep stages are as striking as age-related changes in total sleep time.31. A. As B. Despite C. While D. Whether32.
