从时态意义上讲，应该用过去分词，表示伴随情况，还应该考虑连词前后的平衡结构表达法问题。

7.Thelasthalfofthenineteenthcentury__________thesteadyimprovementinthemeansoftravel.

A.haswitnessed            B.waswitnessed

C.witnessed               D.iswitnessed

答案D。

without作“如果没有”解，表示一种与事实相反的假设，意思上相对于一个if引导的虚拟条件句。

根据题中可看出withoutcomputer是与过去事实相反的假设，因此主句应该用：

would（should，could，might）+动词的完成时。

A.Sowasheabsorbed       B.Soabsorbedhewas

11.Somepsychologistsmaintainthatthinkingis__________.

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:

A.Totellcampuspersonnelofthenewlibraryservices.

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”。
