LEARNING NEW WORDS IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Remembering words successfully is a chancy business, (26) _______ over the last forty years
psychologists have found three methods which consistently improve this important language learning
skill. These are: creating a visual image for the word you want to remember; (27) _____ word associations;
and recalling the word by means of a story. Research into attempts to remember lists of words has shown
that these methods result in memory improvements of ten percent over simply reading words once.
Now, new studies have shown solid evidence for a fourth method which can be added to the (28) _______
three; it's surprisingly simple. It only involves saying the word you want to remember to yourself. It
doesn't even seem to matter if you don't say the word aloud - it only has to be mouthed. Across eight
experiments in (29) _______ participants were asked to read and remember lists of words, researchers
found memory improvements sometimes in (30) _______ of ten percent.
(Adapted from Cambridge English Grammar and Vocabulary for Advanced by Martin Hewings and Simon Haines)

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.
A nuclear family, elementary family or conjugal family is a family group consisting of parents and
their children (one or more). It is in contrast to a single-parent family, the larger extended family, or a
family with more than two parents. Nuclear families typically center on a married couple which may have
any number of children. There are differences in definition among observers. Some definitions allow only
biological children that are full-blood siblings and consider adopted or half and step siblings a part of the
immediate family, but others allow for a stepparent and any mix of dependent children including
stepchildren and adopted children. Some sociologists and anthropologists consider the nuclear family as
the most basic form of social organization, while others consider the extended family structure to be the
most common family structure in most cultures and at most times.
Although the term nuclear family was popularized in the 20th century, it has been the dominant form
of family structure for centuries in Europe. In the United States, the nuclear family became the most
common form of family structure in the 1960s and 1970s. Since that time, the number of North American
nuclear families is gradually decreasing, while the number of alternative family formations has increased;
this phenomenon is generally opposed by members of such philosophies as social conservatism or
familialism, which consider the nuclear family structure important.
(Adapted from https://en.wikipedia.org)
Question 31. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The gradual decline of nuclear family
B. An introduction to nuclear family
C. The differences between two most common types of family
D. Experts’ attitudes towards different kinds of family

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.
For most of us, it is not difficult to conjure up rosy memories of our childhoods. Perhaps you recall a
favorite pet, a much loved toy, or a special place. For this writer, that place was my grandparents' old
farm, where I played with flocks of friendly lambs and feasted on warm, delicious chocolate chip cookies
straight from my nana's oven. However, it's a funny thing about that memory-it turns out that most of it
isn't true. According to my mother, I was actually miserable during my visits to the farm. She says that
there were no lambs-I had that mixed up with a visit to a petting zoo when I was older-but rather a herd
of surly cows that frightened me to the point of tears. As for my grandmother's cookies, I recently
persuaded her to bake them for me again, and the results were dry and disappointing. Perhaps my nana's
baking skills have deserted her, but that still doesn't explain the other inaccuracies in my recollections.
The reality is that our memories are simply not that reliable. According to Elizabeth Loftus. a professor
of psychology at the University of California and an authority on memory. "Our memories have a
superiority complex. We remember we got better grades than we did, that we gave more money to charity
than we did, that our kids walked and talked earlier than they really did."
In fact, Loftus and her colleagues have learned that our memories do not just exaggerate in some cases,
they out-and-out lie. In one well-known experiment, Loftus asked test subjects to read aloud four
descriptions of events which they were told were gathered from family members and had actually
happened to them. In fact, only three were true, while the fourth-an account of being lost in a shopping
mall at age five-had never happened to any of the subjects. In follow-up interviews, however, 25% of the
subjects claimed that they clearly remembered the false incident often embellishing the memory with
vivid details straight from their own imaginations.
The implications of these findings are far-ranging. We all know that childhood memories have
profound and long-lasting effects on our relationships with our family, friends, and spouses. If we can't
trust our memories, how can we trust the people closest to us? Memories also play a crucial role in self-
esteem: we are what we remember. We depend on our memories to do well at school, to remember vital
skills in the workplace to keep us safe by reminding us of past mistakes, and to cheer us up by recalling
past triumphs. In addition, the police rely on accurate eyewitness accounts to bring criminals to justice

and keep the public safe, but Marc Green, an expert on memory and witness testimony has stated that
these recollections become less accurate with each retelling.
No matter where the science leads us, one fact remains the same. Memories are the foundations of our
lives. They are the glue that holds together families, friendships, and marriages. Good or bad, accurate or
not, where would we be without them? Perhaps what really matters isn't how my nana's cookies actually
tasted all those years ago, but the happy times we spent together baking and enjoying them.
