Reading comprehension:Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: 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 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 pronounced motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.1. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is _.a. not a mental processb. more a physical process than a mental actionc. a process that involves our entire bodiesd. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain2.

According to the selection, muscle participation in the process of thinking is _. a. deliberate b. obvious c. not readily apparent d. very pronouncedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Many people are frightened by spiders (蜘蛛). They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot , thick rain forests of northern South America. Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula (狼蛛). They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous. Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them. They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.6.
