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 theirbody 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.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 properly3.The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of_______________.a. “feeling” the mus icb. participating in the performancec. deriving enjoyment from the musice.all of the above4.Body movement are necessary in order for the listener to____________.a. hear the musicb. appreciate the musicc. enjoy the music fullypletely understand the music5. According to the selection, muscle participation in the process of thinkingis ________________.a. deliberateb. obviousc. not readily apparentd. very pronouncedQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many people are frightened by spiders (蜘蛛).They areespecially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and mostfrightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which livesin the hot , thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula (狼蛛). They are veryhairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters(seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most peoplethink, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful,but it will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a blackwidow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks duringthe day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As youmight guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability. They can walk upwindowpanes because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that clingto glass.6.The article says that the bird-eating spider is a kind of ___________.a. large crabb. tarantulac. black widow spiderd.
