Part I Dialogue Communication
1．C2．C3．C4．D5．A6．B7．C8．A9．A10．A11．Bl2．Al3．Cl4．Dl5．A Part I Reading Comprehension Passage l
1．D事实细节题。第一段第一句提到一些心理学家认为精神活动如思考不仅是大脑的活动，而且肌肉也参与其中，所以选D。 2．B 事实细节题。第一段最后一句提到我们用肌肉思考与用身体听音乐在某种程度上是一样的，所以选B。
3．A事实细节题。第二段中提到很少有人听音乐时不扭动自己的身体，所以选A。
4．B推理判断题。第三段第二句提到如果一个人不参与到音乐中，也就是音乐演奏中，那他就无法从音乐中获得所有的乐趣。
5．C事实细节题。文章最后一句提到肌肉以同样的方式参与了思考的过程，但并不是十分明显，因为它不是很容易被注意到。distinct“明显的，显著的”，前缀in表示否定。indistinct“不明显的，不显著的”。 Passage 2
6．B事实细节题。根据文章第二段的第一句，记忆力就是储存信息以供将来使用的能力。所以选B。A、C、D都是记忆力特点的一个方面，不能单独解释记忆力。
7．C推理判断题。根据文章的第三段，一台计算机存储的“词汇”能达到100，000个；一个十几岁的少年的词汇量也能达到100，000个。然而，根据文章，100，000个单词只是一个十几岁的少年全部记忆存储的一小部分。所以，计算机的“记忆”储备量要比一个十几岁的少年的记忆存储量小得多。因为比较是在计算机和青少年之间进行的，与成年人无关，所以不能选B。
8．C推理判断题。从文章第二段小老鼠的例子可判断，动物也有记忆，也有一定解决问题的智力，所以C是对的。根据文章最后一段第一句提到的“高级智力advanced intelligence”可知动物也有智力，只是相比人类智力低而已，所以A说只有人类才有解决问题的智力是不准确的；D说动物解决问题靠本能而不靠智力也是不对的。而根据文章的第三段，计算机在存储“词汇”方面和一个十几岁的少年是一样的，所以B说计算机存储和人脑记忆在各方面都不一样是错误的。
9．B推理判断题。in terms of“根据；按照；用?来说”。如果不知道该短语的意思，也可通过主语“一个人的大部分记忆”和“词或词组”之间的关系来判断。本句的意思是一个人的大部分记忆都是靠词和词组表达出来的。
10．B归纳概括题。文章的主题要根据内容来确定。第一段讲的是记忆的重要作用；第二段解释记忆是什么及其表现；第三段讲人类将记忆功能运用到机器如计算机当中，并将人的记忆与计算机记忆进行比较；第四段说大部分记忆都是通过词汇表现的。四个选项当中只有B更贴近文章的主题，其他三个选项都只是文章涉及的一个方面，都不具有概括性。 Passage 3
11．D常识经验题。只有D(工作换取钱)才是钱与服务的交换，其余三项全是钱与商品的交换。
12．D事实细节题。由于文章没有提到贝壳最初是在哪里被用做货币的，所以选D。
13．A事实细节题。见文章第四段的二、三两句，中国古代的铜钱有孔，主要是因为人们为了携带方便要将之串起来。所以选A。
14．C推理判断题。由于金银很重，如果要花很多钱买某件东西的话，携带起来会很不方便。 15．D归纳概括题。本文章的写作脉络很清晰：先由今天的钱(纸币或硬币)说起，引出世界上最早的钱(每个国家都有不同的物来充当货币)，接着谈到最早的硬币，之后随着钱的改进，出现了纸币。最后作者总结钱的发展是一段有趣的历史。可见文章的主要内容是讲钱的发展历史，所以选D。
