Part II: Reading Comprehension

 

 

Directions: Read the following passages and choose the most appropriate answer for each question. (40 points)


Passage I
            If you do not want to pay hefty prices for imported beef, try buffalo meat, which may not have the organic label but will be grass-fed and leaner than cow meat. That will satisfy your craving for red meat. Fresh meat markets in Bangkok and the Northeast mostly sell cow meat, but if you are living in the North, the markets mainly sell buffalo meat. (P1)

            As for white meat, you can go for organic pork chops and eat no more than eight ounces per meal. A three-oz serving of pork contains 0.105 oz of fat, while a chicken breast without the skin contains 0.106 oz of fat, according to studies at the Universities of Wisconsin and Maryland. (P2)

            A much leaner and tastier alternative to chicken is turkey with its white and dark meats that are packed with a gamy flavor. (P3)

            Now that you are getting the go-ahead for meats, don’t forget to take everything in moderation and make sure to trim the fats. For optimal health, balance your diet with whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables. (P4)

 

41)  The word “hefty” (P1) means _______.
1.  moderate                                                   
2.  reasonable
3.  cheap                                                        
4.  high

42)  What does “craving” (P1) mean?
1.  taste                                                                              
2.  desire
3.  choice                                                                           
4.  search           

43)  Which is NOT true about buffalo meat?
1.  It is not expensive because it is a local product especially in the North.                          
2.  It is grass-fed and so is leaner than cow meat.
3.  It can as well satisfy your desire for red meat.
4.  It is definitely tastier and more tender than cow meat.
 
44)  What is the author’s advice?
1.  Eat buffalo meat that has the organic label.
2.  Eat chicken, which is leaner and tastier than turkey.
3.  Eat meat in moderation.
4.  Eat a good balance of various kinds of meats.

45)  According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
1.  Buffalo meat contains more fat than cow meat.                                      
2.  Northeastern people prefer cow meat to buffalo meat.
3.  Turkey contains less fat than chicken.                                          
4.  A 3-oz serving of pork has about the same amount of fat as a skinned chicken breast.

                                               

Passage II

Your brain’s performance levels and your overall mental abilities are largely governed by your state of mind, which is determined by your brainwaves. According to a scientific study, they create peak performance mental states for learning, thinking, studying and virtually every mental task. (P1)

            Listening to iMusic, an advanced acoustic technology, automatically dials your brainwaves into a peak performance state for any situation or environment. Most people are shocked when they are told that increasing their IQ and cognitive abilities is possible. It was once thought that intelligence and mental capabilities were set in stone, unchanging since birth. But much of what we know about the mind has changed since then, particularly in the last 10 years. (P2)

            Research has found that there are many factors playing even larger roles in IQ, focus, memory and overall intelligence. With the brain technology, someone can experience huge leaps in IQ score, sometimes up to 30 or more points! (P3)

46)  What is the main idea of this passage?
1.  Science has uncovered brainwaves.
2.  Intelligence and mental abilities can be improved.
3.  There are many factors affecting brain performance levels.
4.  There are many factors controlling IQ.

47)  What does the word “they” (P1) refer to?         
1.  performance levels                                    
2.  mental abilities
3.  brainwaves                                                
4.  mental states

48)  What controls one’s state of mind?
1.  One’s brain                                                
2.  One’s performance levels
3.  One’s mental abilities                                
4.  One’s brainwaves

49)  What is true according to the passage?
1.  Mental capabilities are unchanged since birth.
2.  iMusic can raise mental abilities to their best performance.
3.  What we know about brainwaves has not been changed.
4.  There are only few factors that determine brain performance.

50)  What does “set in stone” (P2) mean?
1.  fixed                                                          
2.  unstable
3.  known                                                       
4.  accepted

Passage III

          Quietly and without much fanfare there is a paradigm shift taking place in the global economy. Africa, a continent that until now has only been associated with poverty and political unrest, is emerging as a land rich in opportunity. For those visionaries who see its vast potential, this long-awaited trend is exciting. It means this huge emerging market will follow in the footsteps of other powers to gain its rightful place of influence in the world. Over the past decade, China has been the big economic story. That, however, may soon change. Says Bruce Wrobel, the CEO of Sithe Global, a project development firm that builds power plants, dams, refineries and other infrastructure internationally: “Within 10 years people will be talking about Africa the way they talk about China today.” (P1)

          What’s he getting at? Africa’s population, at one billion, is currently smaller than China’s, but over the next decade experts expect it to explode. For one thing, malaria will likely be eradicated within the next five years. The continent is also making progress on the AIDS front. Once the impact of these diseases is mitigated, Africa has the potential, given its natural resources and huge landmass, to support many times its current population. (P2)

            The global business community, however, is not waiting that long. Many forward-looking multinational corporations already know that the economies of many African countries are on the verge of taking off. According to the African Development Bank, the GDP of the continent, which has been growing 5% to 6% annually, hit $1.3 trillion last year. Much of that growth has come from burgeoning telecommunications and banking systems, plus increased trade with China for both natural resources and manufactured goods. Today Africa’s economy is larger than India’s, and not far behind those of Brazil and Russia. (P3)

            Africa has barely tapped into its potential as a major source of oil, timber, and ores. Consider that this enormous continent – into which could fit the U.S., Europe, and China – contains roughly 75% of all the Earth’s strategic minerals. The Republic of Guinea, one of the poorest countries in the world, has, according to U.S.G.S. data, 30% of the world’s bauxite, the raw material from which aluminum is extracted. Recent tests suggest the nation may actually have closer to 60% of global reserves, much of it easy – and relatively cheap – to recover. (P4)

            Today, however, Guinea accounts for only 1% of the world’s alumina production. Over the next 20 years, major aluminum makers including Alcoa, Global Alumina, Russian Aluminum, and Australia’s BHP Billiton will together invest an estimated $20 billion for bauxite refineries in Guinea. BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto are also developing iron ore mines there. (P5)

51)  What does the passage mainly discuss?
1.  A paradigm shift in Africa
2.  Africa’s potential natural resources
3.  Possibility for economic growth in Africa
4.  Economic and medical situation in Africa

52)  What does the word “eradicated” (P2) mean?
1.  wiped out                                                  
2.  taken in
3.  observed                                                    
4.  developed

53)  Which word is closest in meaning to the word “mitigated” (P2)?
1.  increased                                                   
2.  reduced
3.  recovered                                                   
4.  maintained

54)  According to Paragraph 3, whose economy is the smallest?
1.  India’s                                                       
2.  Africa’s
3.  Brazil’s                                                      
4.  Russia’s

55)  The phrase “on the verge of taking off” (P3) means “about to _______.”
1.  grow                                                          
2.  drop
3.  change                                                       
4.  stop

56)  What does “the nation” (P4) refer to?
1.  U.S.                                                                       
2.  China
3.  Russia                                                        
4.  Guinea

57)  Which of the following is NOT a factor for the change in the economies of many African countries?
1.  Telecommunications                                  
2.  International trade          
3.  Banking systems                                       
4.  Natural resource conservation

58)  According to recent tests, how much bauxite may the Republic of Guinea have?

Passage IV

The inexplicable blandness of airline food has been pondered at 30,000 feet by generations of travellers. Now an explanation has been offered in the form of research showing that people lose their sense of taste when listening to the sort of “white noise” heard inside an aircraft's cabin. (P1)

 

White noise consists of random collections of sounds at different frequencies – such as the muffled noise of aircraft engines – and scientists have demonstrated that it is capable of diminishing the taste of salt and sugar. The findings could explain a phenomenon well known to airline companies: passengers tend to lose their sense of taste when they are in the air. For this reason, airline meals are often "improved" with extra salt, sugar and other flavourings. (P2)

 

The study also lends further support to the idea that sound plays an important role in the perception of taste. Heston Blumenthal, the celebrity chef, has exploited the trait in a specially designed seafood dish which is served while diners hooked up to iPods listen to the sound of surf crashing on a beach. (P3)

 

Ellen Poliakoff of Manchester University said the study investigated how background noise influenced a person's perception of food. The scientists found that certain sounds not only affected people's sense of saltiness or sweetness, they also influenced how crunchy some types of food sounded to the diners – which in turn affected their perceptions of freshness and palatability. “We’ve compared how people rated food that they ate while they sat in headphones listening to various kinds of sounds and we've speculated as to why this might explain why airline food has a reputation for not being very tasty,” Dr Poliakoff said. (P4)

 

The white noise of an aircraft cabin could act as a distraction to a person's sense of taste, which would account for why airline food needs to compensate by being saltier or sweeter than usual. Alternatively, the effect could be due to the contrast between the pleasure of eating and the stress of listening to white noise, Dr Poliakoff said. (P5)

 

The study involved asking a panel of volunteers to rate the taste of different kinds of food while listening to quiet or loud background noise, or no noise at all. Sweetness and saltiness were rated significantly lower in the presence of the louder background music, while crunchiness was reported to be higher when listening to loud sounds. A further part of the study showed that people listening to sounds they deemed to be pleasant were also more likely to say that their food was tastier, which may explain why many restaurants play ambient background music. “If you are enjoying the music you are listening to, it may affect the enjoyment of the food you are eating,” Dr Poliakoff said. (P6)

Passage V

Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The term was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Artificial intelligence includes game playing, robotics, expert systems, natural language, and neural networks. (P1)

Currently, no computers exhibit full artificial intelligence (that is, are able to simulate human behavior). The greatest advances have occurred in the field of games playing. The best computer chess programs are now capable of beating humans. In May, 1997, an IBM super-computer called Deep Blue defeated world chess champion Gary Kasparov in a chess match. (P2)

            In the area of robotics, computers are programmed to “see” and “hear” and react to other sensory stimuli. Computers are now widely used in assembly plants, but they are capable only of very limited tasks. Robots have great difficulty identifying objects based on appearance or feel, and they still move and handle objects clumsily. (P3)

In the early 1980s, expert systems (programming computers to make decisions in real-life situations) were believed to represent the future of artificial intelligence and of computers in general. To date, however, they have not lived up to expectations. Many expert systems help human experts in such fields as medicine and engineering, but they are very expensive to produce and are helpful only in special situations. (P4)

Natural-language processing offers the greatest potential rewards because it would allow people to interact with computers without needing any specialized knowledge. You could simply walk up to a computer and talk to it. Unfortunately, programming computers to understand natural languages has proved to be more difficult than originally thought. Some rudimentary translation systems that translate from one human language to another are in existence, but they are not nearly as good as human translators. There are also voice recognition systems that can convert spoken sounds into written words, but they do not understand what they are writing; they simply take dictation. Even these systems are quite limited – you must speak slowly and distinctly. (P5)

Today, the most popular area of artificial intelligence is neural networks, which are systems that simulate intelligence by attempting to reproduce the types of physical connections that occur in animal brains. The systems are proving successful in a number of disciplines such as voice recognition and natural-language processing. There are several programming languages that are known as AI languages because they are used almost exclusively for AI applications. The two most common are LISP and Prolog. (P6)
