问题     Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s 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 in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.
The process of thinking is different from that of listening in that______.
选项 A、the former is a mental process while the latter not
B、muscle participation is less apparent in the former
C、the former is more serious
D、the latter is more enjoyable
答案B
解析 本题问人类思维过程与听音乐的过程不同的根源是什么。文章第二段指出，人们对听音乐不仅只用耳朵还用整个身体不感到奇怪，因为人们在听音乐时总要移动身体的某个部位。而文章最后一段指出，身体的肌肉群实际上也在以同样的方式参与大脑的思维过程，只不过这种参与不太明显。因此，本题的正确答案应是B“在思维过程中肌肉参与的方式不如在听音乐时参与的方式明显”。
