Since the dawn of time, people have found ways to communicate with one another Smoke signals and tribal drums were some of the earliest forms of communication Letters, carried by birds or by humans on foot or

on horseback, made it possible for people to communicate larger amounts of information between two places The telegram and telephone set the stage for more modem means of communication With the invention of the cellular phone, communication itself has become mobile

Trang 3

For you, a cell phone is probably just a device that you and your friends use to keep in touch with family and friends, take pictures, play games, or send text messages The definition of a cell phone is more specific It is a hand-held wireless communication device that sends and receives signals by way of small special areas called cells

Walkie-talkies, telephones and cell phones are duplexcommunication devices They make it possible for two people to talk to each other Cell phones and walkie-talkies are different from regular phones because they can

be used in many different locations A walkie-talkie is sometimes called a half-duplex communication device because only one person can talk at a time A cell phone is a full-duplex device because it uses both frequencies

3, 1973, Cooper made the first cell phone call to his opponent at AT&T while walking down the streets of New York City People on the sidewalks gazed at Cooper in amazement Cooper's phone was called A Motorola Dyna-Tac It weighed a whopping 2.5 pounds (as compared to today's cell phones that weigh as little as 3 or 4 ounces)

After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the general public After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phones for commercial use The early cell phone and its service were both expensive The cell phone itself cost about $ 3,500 In 1977, AT&T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2,000 customers In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the Washington D.C and Baltimore area It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per year

to each of the questions

New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our leisure time We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along) And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail, voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure

Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially – exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even just

„goofing off‟

But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth The very tools that were supposed to liberate us have

bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago It would seem that

technology almost never does what we expect

In „the old days‟, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer People left their offices

at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home That is no longer true In today‟s highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices As a result, employees feel the

need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off They feel pressured to work after hours just

to catch up on everything they have to do Workers work harder and longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job security

Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and mail messages Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online Studies of time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use

e-This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us New technologies, from genetic research to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities But, when new tools make life more difficult and stressful rather than easier and more meaningful – and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it – then something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of how it should benefit us From “Summit 1” by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher

Question 26: According to the first three paragraphs, technological tools that were designed to make our lives easier

A have brought us complete happiness

B have fully met our expectations

C have not interfered with our privacy

D have turned out to do us more harm than good

Question 27: Which of the following is NOT true about technological tools, according to new surveys?

A They make our life more stressful B They bring more leisure to our life

C They are used even during vacations D They are being increasingly used

Question 28: The word “inconceivable” in the passage is closest in meaning to” ”

A unforgettable B unimaginable C predictable D foreseeable

Question 29: It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that

A it is compulsory that employees go to the office, even on days off

B employees have more freedom to decide what time they start and finish work

C employers are more demanding and have efficient means to monitor employees

D life is more relaxing with cell phones and other technological devices

Question 30: The word “They” in the fourth paragraph refers to

A employers B employees C workers D tasks

Question 31: This passage has probably been taken from

A a science review B a political journal C an advertisement D a fashion magazine

Question 32: Which of the following could best serve as the title of the passage?

A Expectations and Plain Reality B Benefits of Technology

C Research on the Roles of Computers D Changes at the Workplace

Question 35: A Most B Mostly C Almost D Furthermost

to each of the questions

Very few people, groups, or governments oppose globalization in its entirety Instead, critics of globalization believe aspects of the way globalization operates should be changed The debate over globalization

is about what the best rules are for governing the global economy so that its advantages can grow while its problems can be solved

On one side of this debate are those who stress the benefits of removing barriers to international trade

and investment, allowing capital to be allocated more efficiently and giving consumers greater freedom of choice

With free-market globalization, investment funds can move unimpeded from the rich countries to the developing countries Consumers can benefit from cheaper products because reduced taxes make goods produced at low cost from faraway places cheaper to buy Producers of goods gain by selling to a wider market More competition

keeps sellers on their toes and allows ideas and new technology to spread and benefit others

On the other side of the debate are critics who see neo-liberal policies as producing greater poverty, inequality, social conflict, cultural destruction, and environmental damage They say that the most developed nations – the United States, Germany, and Japan – succeeded not because of free trade but because of protectionism and subsidies They argue that the more recently successful economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and China all had strong state-led development strategies that did not follow neo-liberalism These critics think that government encouragement of “infant industries” – that is, industries that are just beginning to develop – enables a country to become internationally competitive

Furthermore, those who criticize the Washington Consensus suggest that the inflow and outflow of money from speculative investors must be limited to prevent bubbles These bubbles are characterized by the rapid inflow of foreign funds that bid up domestic stock markets and property values When the economy cannot sustain such expectation, the bubbles burst as investors panic and pull their money out of the country

Protests by what is called the anti-globalization movement are seldom directed against globalization itself but rather against abuses that harm the rights of workers and the environment The question raised by nongovernmental organizations and protesters at WTO and IMF gatherings is whether globalization will result in a rise of living standards or a race to the bottom as competition takes the form of lowering living standards and

undermining environmental regulations

One of the key problems of the 21st century will be determining to what extent markets should be regulated to promote fair competition, honest dealing, and fair distribution of public goods on a global scale

Our eyes and ears might be called transformers because they sense the light and sound around us and turn them into electrical impulses that the brain can interpret These electrical impulses that have been transformed by the eye and ears reach the brain and are turned into messages that we can interpret For the eye, the process begins as the eye admits light waves, bends them at the cornea and lens, and then focuses them on the retina At the back of each eye, nerve fibers bundle together to form optic nerves, which join and then split into two optic tracts Some of the fibers cross, so that part of the input from the right visual field goes into the left side of the brain, and vice versa The process in the ear is carried out through sensory cells that are carried in fluid-filled canals and that are extremely sensitive to vibration Sound that is transformed into electricity travels along nerve fibers in the auditory nerve These fibers form a synapse with neurons that carry the messages to the auditory cortex on each side of the brain

36 According to the author, we might call our eyes and ears “transformers” because:

A They sense light and sound B They create electrical impulses

The most common causes of tsunamis are underwater earthquakes To understand underwater earthquakes, you must first understand plate tectonics The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the lithosphere, or top layer of the Earth, is made up of a series of huge plates These plates make up the continents and seafloor They rest on

an underlying viscous layer called the asthenosphere

Think of pie cut into eight slices The pie crust would be the lithosphere and the hot, sticky pie filling underneath would be the asthenosphere On the earth, these plates are constantly in motion, moving along each other at a speed of 1 to 2 inches (2.5-5 cm) per year The movement occurs most dramatically along fault lines (where the pie is cut) These motions are capable of producing earthquakes and volcanism, which, when they occur at the bottom of the ocean, are two possible sources of tsunamis

When two plates come into contact at a region known as a plate boundary, a heavier plate can slip under a lighter one This is called subduction Underwater subduction often leaves enormous “handprints” in the form of deep ocean trenches along the seafloor In some cases of subduction, part of the seafloor connected to the lighter plate may “snap up” suddenly due to pressure from the sinking plate This results in an earthquake The focus of the earthquake is the point within the Earth where the rupture first occurs, rock break and the first seismic waves are generated The epicenter is the point on the seafloor directly above the focus

When this piece of the plate snaps up and sends tons of rock shooting upward with tremendous force, the energy

of that force is transferred to the water The energy pushes the water upward above normal sea level This is birth

of a tsunami The earthquake that generated the December 26, 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean was a 9.0 on the Richter scale- one of the biggest in recorded history

43 Which of the following best states the topic of this text?

A The birth of a tsunami B The magnitude of tsunamis

C Tsunamis in the Indian Ocean D Series of huge plate on earth

44 According to the first paragraph, continents and seafloor are part of _

A lithosphere B asthenosphere C plate tectonics D huge plates

45 The word “which” in the passage refers to _

A these motions B earthquakes and volcanism

C fault lines D tsunamis

46 It can be inferred from the passage that the earthquake will never occur when _

A the subduction is evidenced B seismic waves are generated

C no fault line of plate tectonics happens D heavier plates and lighter ones break up

47 The place within the Earth where the first rupture occurs is called _

48 The word “tremendous” in the passage is CLOSEST in meaning to _

49 Which of the following natural disasters happening in Indonesia (in the Indian Ocean) is related to the fault movement of plate tectonics?

A Volcanic eruptions B Soil erosion C Forest fires D Floods

50 The following is mentioned in the text about tsunamis, EXCEPT that they are _

A predictable following any incidence of earthquakes

B close to the rise of sea levels from the sinking plate

C connected to deep ocean trenches along sea floors

D related to strong movements of plate tectonics

to hold a contest for the best design for the Presidential House James Hoban, an architect born in 1reland, was the winner His bid for the construction of the mansion asked for $200,000, but the final cost of the building came

to twice that amount The work on the project began during the same year, and the grounds of approximately one and a half miles west of the Capitol Hill were chosen by Major Pierre-Charles L Enfant, who was in charge of city planning However, the construction continued for several more years, and George Washington had stepped down as president before the building was habitable When John Adams, the second president of the United

States and his wife Abigail moved in 1800, only six rooms had been completed

The grey sandstone walls of the house were painted white during construction, and the color of the paint gave the building its name The building was burned on August 24, 1814, and James Hoban reconstructed the house for President James Monroe and his family, who moved there in 1817 The north portico was added to the building in 1829, water pipes were installed in 1833, gas lighting in 1848, and electricity in 1891 In 1948,

inspectors announced that the building was so dilapidated that it was beyond repair and suggested that it was cheaper to construct a new one than repair the existing dwelling However, the national sentiment was to keep the original form intact, and Congress appropriated $5.4 million dollars for repairs In 1961, Jacqueline Kennedy launched a program to redecorate the rooms and appointed a Fine Arts Committee to make choices of furnishing and colors

The house of the president accords its residents a great deal of space The living quarters contain 107 rooms, 40 corridors, and 19 baths The White House contains a doctor's suite, a dentist's office, a large solarium,

a broadcasting room, and a two-floor basement for storage and service rooms The office in which the president works is not located in the White House, but in a separate building called the West Wing The White House

Today‟s cars are smaller, safer, cleaner, and more economical than their predecessors, but the car of the future will be far more pollution-free than those on the road today Several new types of automobile engines have already been developed than run on alternative sources of power, such as electricity, compressed natural gas, methanol, steam, hydrogen, and propane Electricity, however, is the only zero-emission option presently available

Although electric vehicles will not be truly practical until a powerful, compact battery or other dependable source

of current is available, transport experts foresee a new assortment of electric vehicles entering everyday life: shorter-range commuter electric cars, three-wheeled neighbourhood cars, electronic delivery vans, bikes and trolleys

As automakers work to develop practical electrical vehicles, urban planners and utility engineers are focusing on infrastructure systems to support and make the best use of the new cars Public charging facilities will need to be

as common as today‟s gas stations Public parking spots on the street or in commercial lots will need to be equipped with devices that allow drivers to charge their batteries while they stop, dine, or attend a concert To encourage the use of electric vehicles, the most convenient parking in transportation centres might be reserved for electric cars

Planners foresee electric shuttle buses, trains, buses and neighbourhood vehicles all meeting at transit centres that would have facilities for charging and renting Commuters will be able to rent a variety of electric cars to suit their needs: light trucks, one-person three-wheelers, small cars, or electric/gasoline hybrid cars for longer trips, which will no doubt take place on automated freeways capable of handling five times the number of vehicles that can be carried by freeway today

Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees‟ homes and offices For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location

of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is

completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey

in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The

Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn‟t telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many

managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the

country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager‟s responsibilities

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

36 With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?

A The advantages of telecommuting B A definition of telecommuting

C An overview of telecommuting D The failure of telecommuting

37 The phrase “of no consequence” means

A of no use B of no good C unimportant D irrelevant

38 The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT

A the opportunities for advancement B the different system of supervision

C the lack of interaction with a group D The work place is in the home

39 The word “executives“ in line 10 refers to

A telecommuters B managers C employees D most people

40 The reason why telecommuting has not become popular is that the employees

A need regular interaction with their families

B.are worried about the promotion if they are not seen at the office

C feel that a work area in their home is away from the office D are ignorant of telecommuting

41 It can be inferred from the passage that the author is

A a telecommuter B the manager C a statistician D a reporter

42 When Business Week published “ The Portable Executive “, it implied that

A systems for managing telecommuters were not effective

B there was resistance on the part of many managers about telecommuting

C the trend for telecommuting was optimistic D most telecommuters were satisfied with their work

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care View a career

as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live Here are just a few of the factors to consider

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision You may want to begin by

assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings

that you find most appealing Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which

ones you cannot accept Then rank themin order of importance to you

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account You may not want to sit at a desk all day If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country

If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission

Don‟t rule out any occupation without learning more about it Some industries evoke positive or negative associations The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities The choice you make today need not be your final one

43 The author states that “There are no right or wrong answers” in order to

A emphasize that each person‟s answers will be different

B show that answering the questions is a long and difficult process

C indicate that the answers are not really important

D.indicate that each person’s answers may change over time

A jobs in insurance sales are generally not well-paid

B.insurance sales people can earn high salary later in their career

C To show that people must work hard for the career they have chosen

D To discourage readers from choosing a career as a flight attendant

50 According to the passage, which of the following is true?

If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the aristocracy, was French In fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education However, that is not the case nowadays English has replaced French as the international language of communication Today there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language

There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication Britain's colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due to America's rise to the position of major world power This helped spread popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language with it

But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language specialists seem to be divided over this issue There are those who claim that it is important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world have in common According to others, English is associated with a particular culture

Trang 25

and therefore promotes that culture at the expense of others Linguists have suggested "Esperanto", an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international communication problems but without success So, English will continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely-spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world's international language instead of English

Question 43: According to the passage, a century ago

A educated people throughout Europe spoke English

B foreign travelers to England spoke only French

C French was much more popular than English

D only the French aristocracy could speak English

Question 44: What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English?

A Britain's becoming an international power

B The French losing many colonies

C America's becoming powerful

D The development of American culture

Question 45: What is meant by "the language of diplomacy" (lines 4)?

A The language used by ordinary people

B The language used by the English and the French

C The language used by the aristocracy

D The language used by governments

Question 46: What is true according to the passage?

A The experts don't like Esperanto

B Esperanto is difficult to learn

C Esperanto is not a natural language

D Esperanto is becoming more and more popular

Question 47: The experts' opinion on the spread of English is

A split

B positive

C negative

D undecided

Question 48: The author believes that

A English is easier to learn than Chinese

B English will probably be replaced as an international language

C Chinese is going to be the next language of international communication

D Chinese is growing in popularity among non-native speakers

Question 49: These days

A French is the language of diplomacy

B more non-natives speak English than natives

C more people speak French than English

D French is a dying language

Question 50: What would be a good title for this passage?

A English; Past, Present and Future

B English as an international Language

C English language means English culture

D English: a difficult language to learn

in a blue moon” This phrase was commonly used to indicate an event that could never happen Over time, the meaning of the phrase changed from something that would never happen, to something that seldom happens Today, this phrase is used to indicate extremely rate events, the absurd, or things that never happen

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer

Alligators and crocodiles are both native to America, and they both belong to the group of animals called crocodilians They also look similar, and many people might even think they are the same animal There are several differences that can be used to tell them apart

American alligators are much more common than American crocodiles Because they hate the cold, alligators live in the southeastern part of the country usually in freshwater lakes and swamps Their skin is dark with bright stripes and spots of yellow They eat almost anything they can catch, including fish, birds, and occasionally people! Until 1970, it was legal to hunt them, but too many were killed for their skins Now there are strict controls

on hunting, and alligators are again numerous in many areas There are also strict controls on the hunting of deer and other animals

American crocodiles are a bit different They are even more sensitive to cold, so they live only in the tropical climate of southern Florida Most crocodiles prefer the saltwater of coastal areas They are very shy, so people do not often see them in the wild Their skin is grayish-green or brown, and their heads are longer and more triangle-shaped than that of an alligator They eat only fish and other water animals Crocodiles are listed as an endangered species, so they are also protected by US law

advertisement D an autobiography Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correctanswer

One question that is being debated these days is whether or not genetic engineering is a good thing We hear this term “genetic engineering” with increasing frequency these days For those readers who may not be sure of its meaning, some definitions follow When we speak of genes, we are referring to chemical substances in the cells of all-living things that establish an organism‟s characteristics Genetic engineering is the changing of certain genes, usually to improve an organism in some way In recent years, for example, certain genes have been placed in tomato plants to make tomatoes taste better and keep them fresh in supermarket for a longer time Cows have been treated with a growth hormone that makes dairy cattle give more milk and reduces the amount of fat in the meat of beef cattle These sound like positive things, don‟t they? After all, many people say, the technology exists to improve our lives

But there are plenty of people around who oppose genetic engineering Why? Two specific objections come to mind One is that the balance of nature might be upset Suppose, for example, that scientists are able to genetically engineer certain plants so that insects will not eat them This will protect the plants, but the insects will

be deprived of a food supply- and other animals that depend on those insects for food will lose their food supply, too A second objection is a moral question Is it acceptable or right for us to change the makeup of living things? Supporters of genetic engineering say the benefits outweigh the dangers Look at all the improvements that can be made in plants raised for food, they say Because of genetic engineering, plants can be grown that produce more fruits and vegetables and resist disease In a word where more and more food will be needed in the future, this is a benefit The medical advances provided by genetic engineering, say the supporters, are even more impressive Consider cancer, for example If genetic engineering can provide a way to cure or prevent this disease, shouldn‟t it be used? And if genetic engineering can be used to kill the virus that causes AIDS, shouldn‟t

it be permitted?

Trang 33

Opponents of genetic engineering say it should be stopped, or at least limited Proponents of genetic engineering say it should be promoted and expanded The debate goes on

A specific objection B mind C balance of nature D example Question 46: It is stated in paragraph 2 that ………

A scientists control the number of insects

B ecosystems should be counter balanced

C insects protect the plants from extinction

D people should be concerned about wild animals

Question 47: The word “outweigh”in the passage is closest in meaning to …………

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 36 to 42

Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds When this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory How did the information get there in the first place? 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 organize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage

When 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 probably 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 practise „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 Human 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

Question36: According to the passage, how do 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

Question37: All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the _

C sensory storage area D maintenance area

Question 38: 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 39: How do theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time?

C By giving it a name D By drawing it

Question 40: The author believes that rote rehearsal is _

A the best way to remember something

B more efficient than elaborate rehearsal

C ineffective in the long run

D an unnecessary information

Question 41: The word “elaborate” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _

Question 42: Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?

A The working memory is the same as the short term memory

B A memory is kept alive through constant repetition

C Cues help people to recognize information

D Multiple choice exams are the most difficult
