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 39 to 43.

Dolphins are one of the most intelligent species on the planet, which makes them a very interesting animal to scientists. In their natural habitats, dolphins use various vocalization

techniques. They whistle and squeak to recognize members of their pod, identify and protect their young, and call out warnings of danger. They also make clicking sounds used for

echolocation to find food and obstacles in dark and murky waters.

Amazingly, the whistling sound that the bottlenose dolphin makes has been found to have a similar pattern to human language. They always make conversational sounds when they

greet each other. If you listen to dolphins' squeaks and squeals, it will sound like they are having a conversation.

Dolphins usually use both sound and body language to communicate with each other. It is through gesture and body language, however, that most of their communication with

humans comes. Dolphins can be trained to perform complicated tricks. This suggests they have a high level of intelligence and communication capacity. If they work for a long time

with a trainer, they are able to recognize and understand human commands.

A lot of dolphin communication has been studied using dolphins in captive environments. These studies have been criticized because some marine biologists believe that dolphins

living in aquariums or research centers cannot be considered "normal." Even so, most believe that studying dolphin communication in captivity is useful for beginning to understand

the complexity of dolphin communication. After all, dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals. Their ability to communicate is impressive and worthy of study.

Question 39: What would be the most suitable title for the passage?

A. Communications in dolphins

B. Intelligent mammals in captivity

C. Dolphins' social tendencies with humans

D. Complex patterns in dolphin life

Question 40: In line 2, the word vocalization is closest in meaning to____________.

A. making gestures B. creating words C. producing sounds D. closing eyes

Question 41: According to paragraph 4, what do some marine biologists think about captive dolphins?

A. Their relationships are too personal with marine biologists.

B. They can't be considered accurate subjects for biological studies.

C. They can communicate exactly the same as humans do.

D. They easily demonstrate how dolphins act in the wild.

Question 42: All of the following are true about dolphin communication EXCEPT____________

A. dolphins' squeals and squeaks sound conversational to the human ear

B. dolphins' clicking sounds are sometimes used to greet humans

C. communication using sounds and gestures occurs between dolphins

D. body language and gestures are used for communication with humans

Question 43: In line 17, the word “most” refers to ____________

A. the majority of marine biologists B. a few bottlenose dolphins

C. a lot of bottlenose dolphins D. the minority of marine biologists

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 44 to 50.

Psychologists who study information processing have identified and described several memory structures that clarify how our memory works. They include the sensory register, short-term

memory, and long-term memory. Each structure varies as to how much information it can hold and for how long.

A description of how human process information typically begins with environmental stimuli. Our sense receptors are constantly stimulated by visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and

gustatory stimuli. These experiences are initially recorded in the sensory register, so named because information is thought to be encoded there in the same form in which it was perceived.

The purpose of the sensory register is to hold information one to three seconds. Information not recognized or otherwise selected by us disappears from the system. The sensory register can

hold about twelve items of information at a time. Typists make extensive use of the sensory register in order to remember words just long enough to get them typed. If no further processing

takes place, a typist’s ability to recall that information later is minimal. Similarly, most of us have had the experience of reading an entire page of text, only to discover when we got to the

bottom of the page, we couldn’t say anything about it except that we had indeed “read” every word.

Once information has been recognized as meaningful, it is sent to short-term memory. In this case, short-term is approximately 20 seconds, while this may seem surprising, it can be easily

demonstrated. If you were asked to dial an unfamiliar phone number, received a busy signal, and were then distracted by something or someone else for 15 to 20 seconds, chances are you

would have forgotten the number at that point. Short-term memory is often referred to as “working” memory.

Most cognitive psychologists believe that the storage capacity of long-term memory is unlimited and contains a permanent record of everything an individual has learned and experienced.

Information is encoded there to enhance its meaningfulness and organization so that it can be easily retrieved when necessary.

Question 44. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. to explain how our memory processes information.

B. to describe the sensory register.

C. to explain why we sometimes forget information.

D. to compare short-term and long-term memory.

Question 45. The word “They” in paragraph 1 refers to___________.

A. they are tired

B. they are distracted by something or someone

C. they have too much work to be able to process it all

D. they do not recognize it as meaningful enough to remember

Question 48. According to the passage, which type of information is sent to short-term memory?

A. Information we need for three seconds or less.

B. Information that surprises us.

C. Information that is relevant to us.

D. Environmental stimuli we do not perceive.

Question 49. It can be inferred that short-term memory is called “working” memory because___________.

A. we use it extensively when we are working

B. it holds information we are working on at a given moment

C. it is very difficult to use effectively

D. we must work hard to retrieve information from it.
