passage and then choose the best answer for each following question Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky sports When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they found that parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline, just before they made their jump These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity Adrenaline increases the heart rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor does adrenaline make us react more quickly However, nor adrenaline also stimulates apart of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone which makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain According to some psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal They believe that people who normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks and unfamiliar situations in order not to become overexcited If the psychologists are right, people with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher arousal levels It may therefore be possible to find out your level of arousal by testing your nervous system A quick way of doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue If you produce a lot of saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level of arousal; if you produce little of saliva, you probably have a low arousal level If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting! 66 Why did the parachutists’ bodies produce a lot of adrenaline and nor adrenaline before they jumped from a plane? A This is a natural reaction which helps to prepare one for sudden activity B Because they had high arousal levels C It is a natural reaction which guards them against the effects of accidents D Because they had taken drugs which led to the production of these two hormones 67 What two possible reasons are given for some people’s desire to participate in dangerous sports? A A lack of common sense, and a high level of arousal B A low level of arousal, and an inborn desire for adventure C The pleasure that results from the production of nor adrenaline, and a low level of arousal D A desire to show off, and a lack of common sense 68 What dose the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists? A A high temperature B A low temperature C A certain level of arousal D A sense of safety 69 Why psychologists believe that people with a high level of arousal try to avoid danger? A Because they already have the level of excitement which the brain tries to maintain B Because they are more aware of the dangers involved C Because they already have enough of the two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline D Because they would not be able to cope with accidents 70 What is shown by putting lemon juice on your tongue? A It shows that you have a high level of arousal if no saliva is produced B It indicates your level of arousal by amount of saliva that is produced C It can indicate whether your saliva is more acidic or more alkaline D It is a good test of your sense of taste 71 What kinds of substances are adrenaline and nor adrenaline?

many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid burrows underneath the ground, emerging to hunt only by night The surface of the sun-baked desert averages around 150 degrees, but 18 inches down the temperature is only 60 degrees Question 21: The title for this passage could be _ A “Desert Plants” B “Life Underground” C “Animal Life in a Desert Environment” D “Man’s Life in a Desert Environment” Question 22: The word “inexorable” in the passage mostly means _ A relentless B full C demanding D essential Question 23: Man can hardly understand why many animals live their whole life in the desert, as _ A sources of flowing water are rare in a desert B water is an essential part of his existence C water composes the greater part of the tissues of living things D very few large animals are found in the desert Question 24: The phrase “those forms” in the passage refers to all of the following EXCEPT _ A water-loving animals B the coyote and the bobcat C moist-skinned animals D many large animals Question 25: According to the passage, creatures in the desert _ A are smaller and fleeter than forest animals B live in an accommodating environment C are more active during the day than those in the tangled forest D are not as healthy as those anywhere else in the world Question 26: The author mentions all the following as examples of the behavior of desert animals EXCEPT _ A they sleep during the day B they dig home underground C they are noisy and aggressive D they are watchful and quiet Question 27: The word “emaciated” in the passage mostly means _ A wild B cunning C unmanageable D unhealthy Question 28: : the word “Them” means A animals B people C water D minutes Question 29: The word “burrows” in the passage mostly means _ A “places where insects or other small creatures live and produce their young” B “holes or tunnels in the ground made by animals for them to live in” C “structures made of metal bars in which animals or birds are kept” D “places where a particular type of animal or plant is normally found” Question 30: We can infer from the passage that _ A living things adjust to their environment B water is the basis of desert life C desert life is colorful and diverse D healthy animals live longer lives Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from number 31 to 35 10 Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s In the same way, they learn all the other things they learn to without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher Let him it himself Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exam, marks Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or not know Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Don’t worry!
