A.notamentalprocess

B.moreofaphysicalprocessthanamentalaction

C.aprocessthatinvolvesourentirebodies

D.aprocessthatinvolvesthemusclesaswellasthebrain答案D。本题考点在文章第一句中的mentalactssuchasthinkingarenotperformedinthebrainalone,butthatone'smusclesalsoparticipate。原文中的not…alone,but…相当于考题里的aswellas,所以考生对意思相似相近的表达要清楚。12.Fewpeopleareabletolistentofamiliarmusicwithout__________.

A.movingsomepartoftheirbody

B.stoppingwhattheyaredoingtolisten

C.directingtheorchestraplayingit

D.wishingthattheycouldconductmusicproperly答案A。本题的依据句是第二段中的第二个句子Fewpeoplecanlistentomusicthatismoreorlessfamiliarwithoutmovingtheirbodyormorespecifically,somepartoftheirbody.13.Bodymovementsarenecessaryinorderforthelistenerto_____________.

A.hearthemusic

B.appreciatethemusic

C.enjoythemusicfully

D.completelyunderstandthemusic答案C。本题依据关键在第三段第二句中的deriveallpossibleenjoymentfrommusic，这与试题中的enjoythemusicfully意思相当。14.

Accordingtotheselection,muscleparticipationintheprocessofthinkingis______.

A.deliberate

B.obvious

C.notreadilyapparent

D.verypronounced答案C。本题的依据是短文中的最后一句，关键部分是thisparticipationislessobvious，这与选项C、notreadilyapparent意思相当。15.Thebesttitleforthisselectionis____________.

A.AnEarforMusic

B.MusicAppreciation

C.HowMusclesParticipateinMentalActs

D.APsychologicalDefinitionoftheThinkingProcess答案C。短文先指出思维中可能有类似听音乐时肌肉参与的情形；接着描述了听音乐过程中肌肉参与的情况；最后指出，肌肉在思维活动中的参与只不过没那么明显罢了。可见，全文主要讨论的是肌肉在思维活动中的参与，既不是专门讲思维，更不是专门说音乐。故C选项做标题合适。Questions16—20arebasedonthefollowingpassage:

B.Toannouncethenewmoviesoncampusthissummer.

C.Tonotifyuniversitypeopleofimportantschedulechanges.

D.Toremindthestudentstovalidatetheiridentificationcards.答案C。本文讲的是“暑期校区各项服务安排变更情况”，首句即主题句为Duringthesummersessiontherewillbearevisedscheduleofservicesfortheuniversitycommunity.选项C符合题意。17.Specificschedulerevisionsforwhichofthefollowingfacilitiesarelistedinthisannouncement?

A.Athleticandrecreational.

B.Foodandtransportation.

C.Bookstoreandpostoffice.

D.Medicalandaudio-visual.答案B。本题属于细节题。要注意题干中的Specificschedulerevisions，即“具体安排的修改”。第二段首句和第二句分别详细描述了公交车的发车时间、地点和食堂就餐时间，文中没有提到A.Athleticandrecreational，C.Bookstoreandpostoffice和D.Medicalandaudio-visual.的具体情况。18.Timesformoviesandconcertsarenotlistedinthisannouncementbecause______________.

A.filmorconcertoccurseveryWednesdayat7p.m.

B.thefulllistwouldbetoolong

C.filmsandconcertscannotbeannouncedpublicly

D.thefulllistisnotreadyyet答案D。本题的依据是文章第一段第三句话。关键部分是Weeklymovieandconcertscheduleswhichareintheprocessofbeingarranged，即“每周电影和音乐会计划还在安排当中”，故D为合理选项。19.Accordingtotheannouncementwhichofthefollowingistrueofspecialsummerhoursforthelibrary?

A.Ithasthemonlyontheweekends.

B.Ithasthembothweekdaysandweekends.

C.Ithasnospecialsummerhours.

D.Theinformationisnotavailable.答案A。根据题干中的specialsummerhoursforthelibrary可以缩小寻找答案的范围，只寻找与“图书馆”有关信息即可。答案依据在第二段的第三句，其中butshorterhoursonSaturdaysandSundays是关键部分。butshorterhours表示special，与平时不同；SaturdaysandSundays指的就是weekends。因此A为正确选项。20.Accordingtotheannouncement,avalidatedidentificationcardisrequiredto__________.

A.rideonintercampusbuses

B.readannouncementsinthecafeteria

C.makeuseoftheinfirmary

D.checkbooksoutof'thelibrary答案D。本题答案依据是短文倒数第二句。句中提到“借书和娱乐健身”需要有效证明卡。注意题干里的validated和原文中的valid意思相同，即“有效的”。Questions21—25arebasedonthefollowingpassage:

TheeconomyintheUnitedStatesisheavilydependentonaluminum,amaterialwidelyusedintheconstructionofbuildingsandinmakingsuchdiversethingsascars,airplanes,andfoodcontainers.In1979Americansusedoverfivemilliontonsofnewaluminum,andoneandahalfmilliontonsofrecycledaluminum.Someninetypercentofthebauxite(矾土)orefromwhichnewaluminumisnormallyderivedhadtobeimportedtomeetthedemand.PooreroresareabundantintheUnitedStates,however,andresearchersatPurdueUniversitymayrecentlyhavefoundawaytoobtainaluminummagneticallyfromthese.

A.constructionandmanufacturingindustryintheUnitedStates

B.newtechniqueofobtainingaluminumfrompoorores

C.consumptionandproductionofaluminumintheUnitedStates

D.theannualimportofhigh-gradealuminumintotheUnitedStates答案C。本题考查的是对短文主旨大意的理解。首段说的是美国对铝的需求及其来源，第二段讲述了一种新的提取铝的方法。故C、consumptionandproductionofaluminumintheUnitedStates最符合题意，A、B、D虽然提到与短文有关的内容，但都不够全面。22.Itisbelievedthatanewtechniqueto_________willprobablybefound.

A.recycleoldaluminumproducts

B.discovermorebauxiteores

C.makealuminumbyputtingoreparticlesunderwater

D.takeoutaluminummagneticallyfrompoorerores答案D。本题的依据是第一段最后一句，关键部分是Poorerores，havefoundawaytoobtainaluminummagnetically。23.Inthesecondparagraphtheword"paramagnetic"means___________.

A.slightlymagnetic

B.aweakmagneticfield

C.astrongmagneticsubstance

D.theunder-watermagneticpower答案A。这是个词汇题。解这种题需要先找到该词所在的句子，答案往往从中可以读出。Paramagnetic在第二段首句，句子后半部分的orveryweaklyresponsivetoamagneticfield就是解释，故选A.slightlymagnetic。24.Byimmersingoreparticlesinwater,____________.

A.wecangetoreparticlesofequalsize

B.wecanpurifyaluminumparticles

C.wecanfilteroutaluminum

D.wecanimprovetheworkingconditionsaround答案C。本题的依据是最后一句Itishopedthatthistechniquewillreducetheamountofhigh-gradealuminumtheUnitedStatesmustimport.显然，把矿粒进入水中的做法目的只有一个，即提取铝。故选C。25.WeunderstandfromthepassagethattheUnitedStates____________.

B.isshortofaluminum-makingtechniques

C.hastoimportninetypercentofitsannualneedofaluminum
