Its climate, despite more than 50 inches of annual rainfall, is blistering desert plant life it can sustain is only the xerophytic, the quintessentially dry Its altitude is a mere couple of hundred feet, but it is high ground on a peninsula elsewhere close to sea level, and its drainage is so critical that a difference of inches in elevation can bring major changes in its plant communities Its aspect is flat, direct, brutal – and subtropical Florida’s surrounding lushness cannot impinge on its desert scrubbiness This does not sound like an attractive place It does not look much like one either; Shrubby little oaks, clumps of scraggly bushes, prickly pear, thorns, and tangles “It appear Said one early naturalist,” to desire to display the result of the misery through which it has Passed and is passing.” By our narrow standards, scrub is not beautiful; neither does it meet our selfish utilitarian needs Even the name is an epithet, a synonym for the stunted, the scruffy, the insignificant, what is beautiful about such a place? The most important remaining patches of scrub lie along the Lake Wales Ridge, a chain of paleo islands running for a hundred miles down the center of Florida, in most places less than ten miles wide It is relict seashore, tossed up millions of years ago when ocean levels were higher and the rest of the peninsula was submerged That ancient emergence is precisely what makes Lake Wales Ridge so precious: it has remained unsubmerged, its ecosystems essentially undisturbed, since the Miocene era As a result, it has gathered to itself one of the largest collections of rare organisms in the world Only about 75 plant species survive there, but at least 30 of these are found nowhere else on Earth Question 35: What does the passage mainly discuss?

Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory The most accepted theory comes from George A Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage Making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in “rote rehearsal” By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a memory alive Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory A better way is to practice “elaborate rehearsal” This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization Question 45: According to the passage, how memories get transferred to the STM? A They revert from the long term memory B They are filtered from the sensory storage area C They get chunked when they enter the brain D They enter via the nervous system Question 46: The word “elapses” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ Moon.vn - Học để khẳng định Hotline: 0432 99 98 98 F Facebook: /covumaiphuong GV: VŨ MAI PHƯƠNG A passes B adds up C appears D continues Question 47: All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the _ A STM B long term memory C sensory storage D maintenance area Question 48: Why does the author mention a dog’s bark? A To give an example of a type of memory B To provide a type of interruption C To prove that dogs have better memories than humans D To compare another sound that is loud like a doorbell Question 49: How theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time? A By organizing it B By repeating it C By giving it a name D By drawing it Question 50: The author believes that rote rotation is A the best way to remember something C ineffective in the long run B more efficient than chunking D an unnecessary interruption Question 51: The word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _ A encoding B STM C semantics D information Question 52: The word “elaborate” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A complex B efficient C pretty D regular Question 53: Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?
