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.
ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER?
Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a
professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have
taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that
has passed. This improvement 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 was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on
intelligence tests?
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 on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition
since it 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, with teachers encouraging children to learn
by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people
to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered
that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test takers didn't do better on the
arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of

reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and testtakers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to
the set.
According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives
increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are
exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of
intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.
Question 36. The Flynn effect is____________.
A. used to measure intelligent
B. an increase in IQ test scores over time
C. unknown in some parts of the world
D. not connected to our experiences
Question 37. The Flynn effect must be the result of____________.
A. heredity
B. our environment and experiences
C. taking fewer tests
D. memorizing information
Question 38. IQ tests evaluate____________.
A. our knowledge
B. our environment C. our intelligence
D. our memories
Question 39. Which sentence from the article gives a main idea?
A. Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.
B. Because we take so many tests in our lives, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform
better on any test.
C. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test.
D. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for

pattern and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.
Question 40. According to the article, newer education techniques include____________.
A. exposure to many tests
B. children finding things out themselves
C. memorizing information
D. improved test scores
Question 41. Why does the author mention computer games?
A. to give an example of technology that improve our visual intelligence.
B. to explain why young people have poor vocabularies.
C. to encourage the reader to exercise.
D. to show that young people are not getting more intelligent.

A. People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way.
B. People today have fewer problems to solve.
C. People today are taking easier tests.

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 43 to 50.
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is
common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs
outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds,
tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends,
and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects
such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom.
They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn
social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the
many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and
keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of

learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate
children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to
understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers
make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage
takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who
study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s
experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning
involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell,
touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli
that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by
forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and
animals can also learn by observation – that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex
forms of learning in clued learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
Question 43. According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view comprised of?
A. Acquisition of academic knowledge

B. Acquisition of social and behavioral skills
C. Knowledge acquisition and ability development
D. Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom
Question 44. According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the classroom?
A. Literacy and calculation
B. Interpersonal communication
C. Life skills
D. Right from wrong
Question 45. Getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job are mentioned in paragraph
2 as examples of ________.
A. the situations in which people cannot teach themselves
B. the changes to which people have to orient themselves
C. the areas of learning which affect people’s lives
D. the ways people’s lives are influenced by education
Question 46. Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the passage?
A. It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.
B. It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older.
C. t plays a crucial part in improving the learner’s motivation in school.
D. It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions.
Question 47. It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians concern
themselves with the study of learning because they need to ______.
A. understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest
B. change the behaviors of the objects of their interest towards learning
C. thoroughly understand the behaviors of the objects of their interest
D. make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning
Question 48. The word “re r e e ” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. recovers
B. generates
C. creates
D. gains

Question 49. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Psychologists studying learning are interested in human behaviors.
B. Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used.
C. sychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge.
D. Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviors.
Question 50. The passage mainly discusses ______.
A. simple forms of learning
B. practical examples of learning inside the classroom
C. general principles of learning
D. application of learning principles to formal education
