Part III

Reading Comprehension



(40 minutes)
Section A
Directions:
In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list
of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.
Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on
Answer Sheet 2

with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Scientists scanning and mapping the Giza pyramids say they

ve discovered

that Great Pyramid of Giza is not exactly
even. But really not by much. This pyramid is the oldest of the world

s Seven Wonders. The pyramid

s exact size has


26


experts for centuries, as the

more than 21 acres of hard, white casing stones

that originally covered it were


27


long
ago. Reporting in the most recent issue of the newsletter

AERAGRAM,

which


28


the work or the Ancient Egypt
Research Associates, engineer Glen Dash says his team used a new measuring approach that involved finding any surviving


29


, of the casing in order to determine where the original edge was. They found the east side of the pyramid to be a


30


of 5.5 inches shorter than the west side.
The
question
that
most


31


him,
however,
isn

t
how
the
Egyptians
who
designed
and
built
the
pyramid
got
it
wrong 4,500 years age, but how they got it so close to

32


.

We can only speculate as to how the Egyptians could have
laid
out
these
lines
with
such


33



using
only
the
tools
they
had,


Dash
writes.
He
says
his


34


is
that
the
Egyptians laid out their design on a grid, noting that the great pyramid is oriented only


35


away from the cardinal
directions(its
north- south
axis
runs
3
minutes
54
seconds
west
of
due
north,
while
its
east-west
axis
runs
3
minutes
51
seconds north of due east)

an amount that

s

tiny, but similar,

archeologist Atlas Obscura points out.


A)chronicles



I

perfect
B)complete




J) precision
C) established


K) puzzled
D) fascinates

L

remnants
E)hypothesis
M

removed
F)maximum


N) revelations
G) momentum

O

slightly
H) mysteriously

Section B
Directions:
In
this
section,
you
are
going
to
read
a
passage
with
ten
statements
attached
to
it.
Each
statement
contains
information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a
paragraph
more
than
once. Each
paragraph
is
marked with
a
letter.
Answer
the
questions
by
marking
the
corresponding
letter on
Answer Sheet 2
.
































Peer Pressure Has a Positive Side


A.
Parents
of
teenagers
often
view
their
children‘s
friends
with
something
like
suspicio
n.
They
worry
that
the
adolescent peer group has the power to push its members into behavior that is foolish and even dangerous. Such wariness is
well founded: statistics show, for example, that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of a
fatal crash than an adolescent driving alone or with an adult.


B.
In
a
2005
study,
psychologist
Laurence
Steinberg
of
Temple
University
and
his
co-author,
psychologist
Margo
Gardner,
then
at
Temple,
divided
306
people
into
three
age
groups:
young
adolescents,
with
a
mean
age
of
14;
older
adolescents, with a mean age of 19; and adults, aged 24 and older. Subjects played a computerized driving game in which
the
player
must
avoid
crashing
into
a
wall
that
materializes,
without
warning,
on
the
roadway.
Steinberg
and
Gardner
randomly assigned some participants to play alone or with two same-age peers looking on.


C.
Older
adolescents
scored
about
50
percent
higher
on
an
index
of
risky
driving
when
their
peers
were
in
the
room

and the driving of early adolescents was fully twice as reckless when other young teens were around. In contrast,
adults behaved in similar ways regardless of whether they were on their own or observed by others.
“The presence of peers
makes adolescents and youth, but not adults, more likely to take risks,
” Steinberg and Gardner concluded
.


D. Yet in the years following the publication of this study, Steinberg began to believe that this interpretation did not
capture the whole picture. As he and other researchers examined the question of why teens were more apt to take risks in the
company of other teenagers,
they came to suspect that a crowd‘s influence need not always be negative
. Now some experts
are proposing that we should take advantage of the teen brain’s keen sensiti
vity to the presence of friends and leverage it to
improve education.


E. In a 2011 study, Steinberg and his colleagues turned to functional MRI
(磁共振)

to investigate how the presence
of peers affects the activity
in the adolescent brain. They scanned the brains of 40 teens and adults who were playing a
virtual driving game designed to test whether players would brake at a yellow light or speed on through the crossroad.


F. The brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they
were being observed by same-age peers than when alone. In other words, rewards are more intense for teens when they are
with peers, which motivates them to pursue higher-risk experiences that might bring a big payoff

such as the thrill of just
making the light before it turns red

. But Steinberg suspected this tendency could also have its advantages. In his latest
experiment, published online in August, Steinberg and his colleagues used a computerized version of a card game called the
Iowa Gambling Task to investigate how the presence of peers affects the way young people gather and apply information.


G.
The
results:
Teens
who
played
the
Iowa
Gambling
Task
under
the
eyes
of
fellow
adolescents
engaged
in
more
exploratory behavior, learned faster from both positive and negative outcomes, and achieved better performance on the task
than those who played in solitude.
“What our study suggests is that teenagers learn more quickly and more effectively when
their peers are present th
an when they‘re on their own
,
” Steinberg says
. And this finding could have important implications
for how we think about educating adolescents.


H. Matthew D. Lieberman, a social cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, and author of
the 2013 book Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect


suspects that the human brain is especially adept at learning
socially salient information. He points to a classic 2004 study in which psychologists at Dartmouth College and Harvard
University used functional
MRI to track brain activity
in 17
young men as
they
listened to descriptions of people while
concentrating
on
either
socially
relevant
cues

for
example,
trying
to
form
an
impression
of
a
person
based
on
the
description


or more socially neutral information

such as noting the order of details in the description

.The descriptions
were the same in each condition, but people could better remember these statements when given a social motivation.


I. The study also found that when subjects thought about and later recalled descriptions in terms of their informational
content, regions associated with factual memory, such as the medial temporal lobe, became active. But thinking about or
remembering descriptions in terms of their social meaning activated the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex
—part of the brain‘s
social
network

even
as
traditional
memory
regions
registered
low
levels
of
activity.
More
recently,
as
he
reported
in
a
2012 review, Lieberman has discovered that this region may be part of a distinct network involved in socially motivated
learning and memory. Such findings, he says,
suggest that “this network can be called on to process and store the kind of
information taught in school

potentially giving students access to a range of untapped mental powers.




J.
If
humans
are
generally
geared
to
recall
details
about
one
another,
this
pattern
is
probably
even
more
powerful
among teenagers who are very attentive to social details: who is in, who is out, who likes whom, who is mad at whom. Their
penchant for social drama is not

or not only

a way of distracting themselves from their schoolwork or of driving adults
crazy. It is actually a neurological
(神经的)

sensitivity, initiated by hormonal changes. Evolutionarily speaking, people in
this
age group
are at
a
stage
in
which
they
can
prepare
to
find
a
mate
and
start
their
own
family
while
separating
from
parents
and
striking
out
on
their
own.
To
do
this
successfully,
their
brain
prompts
them
to
think
and
even
obsess
about
others.


K.
Yet
our
schools
focus
primarily
on
students
as
individual
entities.
What
would
happen
if
educators
instead
took
