answers: 10 Part Read the passage then choose the correct answer to each question Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability to well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: - Marry an intelligent person - Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents - Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard - Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician 1: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to A other people B other scientists C other geniuses D other children 2: Scientists chose twins for their study because A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities D each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin 3: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A They practice playing their instruments for many years B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas D Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured 4: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow A only their interests in computer games 10 B only their interests in musical instruments C their own interests D their parents’ interests 5: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid A letting them play their own way B starting their education at an early age C pushing their children too hard D permitting them to follow their own interests 6: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means that in order to become a genius, A you need to have good health and good nourishment B you need intelligence and you need to develop it C you should try to move quickly and efficiently D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard 7: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly mean A “of high quality or an acceptable standard” B “under the control or in the power of somebody else” C “good for someone and making him/ her likely to be successful” D “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to the other people” 8: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents B studying different twins is useful scientific procedure C educational development depends completely on economic well-being D to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development 9: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A different twins generally have different levels of ability B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability D ability depends both on intelligence and environment 10: What could be the best title for the passage? A Factors Affecting Children’s Achievements 11 B Every child Is Born with Innate Ability C Like Father Like Son D Proper Strategies Make Gifted Children Part For the question – 10, read the following passage and the tasks below RISING SEA Paragraph - INCREASED TEMPERATURES The average air temperature at the surface of the earth has risen this century, as has the temperature of ocean surface waters Because water expands as it heats, a warmer ocean means higher sea levels We cannot say definitely that the temperature rises are due to the greenhouse effect; the heating may be part of a ‘natural’ variability over a long time - scale that we have not yet recognized in our short 100 years of recording However, assuming the buildup of greenhouse gases is responsible, and that the warming will continue, scientists – and inhabitants of low-lying coastal areas – would like to know the extent of future sea level rises Paragraph Calculating this is not easy Models used for the purpose have treated the ocean as passive, stationary and one -dimensional Scientists have assumed that heat simply diffused into the sea from the atmosphere Using basic physical laws, they then predict how much a known volume of water would expand for a given increase in temperature But the oceans are not one -dimensional, and recent work by oceanographers, using a new model which takes into account a number of subtle facets of the sea –including vast and complex ocean currents –suggests that the rise in sea level may be less than some earlier estimates had predicted Paragraph An international forum on climate change, in 1986, produced figures for likely sealevel rises of 20 cms and 1.4 m, corresponding to atmospheric temperature increases of 1.5 and 4.5C respectively Some scientists estimate that the ocean warming resulting from those temperature increases by the year 2050 would raise the sea level by between 10 cms and 40 cms This model only takes into account the temperature 12 effect on the oceans; it does not consider changes in sea level brought about by the melting of ice sheets and glaciers, and changes in groundwater storage When we add on estimates of these, we arrive at figures for total sea-level rises of 15 cm and 70 cm respectively Paragraph It’s not easy trying to model accurately the enormous complexities of the everchanging oceans, with their great volume, massive currents and sensitively to the influence of land masses and the atmosphere For example, consider how heat enters the ocean Does it just ‘diffuse’ from the warmer air vertically into the water, and heat only the surface layer of the sea? (Warm water is less dense than cold, so it would not spread downwards) Conventional models of sea-level rise have considered that this the only method, but measurements have shown that the rate of heat transfer into the ocean by vertical diffusion is far lower in practice than the figures that many modelers have adopted Paragraph Much of the early work, for simplicity, ignored the fact that water in the oceans moves in three dimensions By movement, of course, scientists don’t mean waves, which are too small individually to consider, but rather movement of vast volumes of water in huge currents To understand the importance of this, we now need to consider another process – advection Imagine smoke rising from a chimney On a still day it will slowly spread out in all directions by means of diffusion With a strong directional wind, however, it will all shift downwind, this process is advection – the transport of properties (notably heat and salinity in the ocean) by the movement of bodies of air or water, rather than by conduction or diffusion Paragraph Massive ocean currents called gyres the moving These currents have far more capacity to store heat than does the atmosphere Indeed, just the top m of the ocean contains more heat than the whole of the atmosphere The origin of gyres lies in the 13 fact that more heat from the Sun reaches the Equator than the Poles, and naturally heat tends to move from the former to the latter Warm air rises at the Equator, and draws more air beneath it in the form of winds (the “Trade Winds”) that, together with other air movements, provide the main force driving the ocean currents Paragraph Water itself is heated at the Equator and moves poleward, twisted by the Earth’s rotation and affected by the positions of the continents The resultant broadly circular movements between about 10 and 40 North and South are clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere They flow towards the east at mid latitudes in the equatorial region They then flow towards the Poles, along the eastern sides of continents, as warm currents When two different masses of water meet, one will move beneath the other, depending on their relative densities in the subduction process.The densities are determined by temperature and salinity the convergence of water of different densities from the Equator and the Poles deep in the oceans causes continuous subduction This means that water moves vertically as well as horizontally Cold water from the Poles travels as depth – it is denser than warm water –until it emerges at the surface in another part of the world in the form of a cold current Paragraph HOW THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT WILL CHANGE OCEAN TEMPERATURES Ocean currents, in three dimensions, form a giant ‘conveyor belt’, distributing heat from the thin surface layer into the interior of the oceans and around the globe Water may take decades to circulate in these 3-D gyres in the lop kilometer of the ocean, and centuries in the deep water With the increased atmospheric temperatures due to the greenhouse effect, the oceans conveyor belt will carry more heat into the interior This subduction moves heat around far more effectively than simple diffusion Because warm water expands more than cold when it is heated, scientists had presumed that the sea level would rise unevenly around the globe It is now believed that these inequalities cannot persist, as winds will act to continuously spread out the water expansion Of course, of global warming changes the strength and distribution of the 14 winds, then this ‘evening-out’ process may not occur, and the sea level could rise more in some areas than others Questions -
