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.

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.
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 bike-sharing 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.
