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 31 to 35.
Do you think you're smarter than your parents, and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a
professor at a New Zealand university, you might be. Over the course of the last century, IQ test
scores of people in some countries have gotten increasingly better - on average, three points better
for every decade that has passed. This trend of improving scores is known as "the Flynn effect," and
scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than
knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of
our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to

be explained by heredity. So what happened in the 20th century that led to higher test scores?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the
improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so
many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better. Others have pointed to better
nutrition, which results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than
in the past Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles children are encouraged to
discover things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people
to do the kind of problem-solving that intelligence tests require.

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
The original idea for an urban bike-sharing scheme dates back to a summer's day in Amsterdam
in 1965. Provo, the organization that came up with the idea, was a group of Dutch activists who
wanted to change society. They believed the scheme, which was known as the Witte Fietsenplan,
was an answer to the perceived threats of air pollution and consumerism. In the centre of
Amsterdam, they painted a small number of used bikes white. They also distributed leaflets
describing the dangers of cars and inviting people to use the white bikes. The bikes were then left
unlocked at various locations around the city, to be used by anyone in need of transport.
Luud Schimmelpennink, a Dutch industrial engineer who still lives and cycles in Amsterdam,
was heavily involved in the original scheme. He recalls how the scheme succeeded in attracting a

great deal of attention - particularly when it came to publicizing Provo's aims - but struggled to get

off the ground. The police were opposed to Provo's initiatives and almost as soon as the white bikes
were distributed around the city, they removed them. However, for Schimmelpennink and for bikesharing schemes in general, this was just the beginning. 'The first Witte Fietsenplan was just a
symbolic thing,' he says. 'We painted a few bikes white, that was all. Things got more serious when
I became a member of the Amsterdam city council two years later.'
Schimmelpennink seized this opportunity to present a more elaborate Witte Fietsen plan to
the city council. 'My idea was that the municipality of Amsterdam would distribute 10,000 white
bikes over the city, for everyone to use,' he explains. Nevertheless, the council unanimously rejected
the plan. 'They said that the bicycle belongs to the past. They saw a glorious future for the car,' says
Schimmelpennink.
Schimmelpennink never stopped believing in bike-sharing, and in the mid-90s, two Danes
asked for his help to set up a system in Copenhagen. The result was the world's first large- scale
bike-share programme. After setting up the Danish system, Schimmelpennink decided to try his
luck again in the Netherlands - and this time he succeeded in arousing the interest of the Dutch
Ministry of Transport. 'Times had changed,' he recalls. 'People had become more environmentally
conscious”

B. most people don’t like the idea of using bicycles
C. because bicycles are not convenient for the people to use in the city
D. because bicycle are a thing of the past and they saw a bright future for the car
