  12. Occupational therapy is a branch of medical care aiming to improve the quality of life of patients through occupational pursuits – helping them overcome disabilities resulting from illness, injury or age so that they can carry out the activities they need to perform in order to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. This means both giving them the means and mobility to pursue occupations, and selecting activities that are therapeutic to their particular condition. For example, a patient learning to get around in a wheelchair might need structural changes to their environment such as widening of doorways and fitting of ramps as well as a programme of physical exercise to build strength in their arms and shoulders. Another patient, who has suffered a stroke, might be encouraged to try arts and crafts as a way to rebuild their manual dexterity skills. Occupational therapy has a long history, dating back to the 1st century BCE and the physicians of Ancient Greece. Today, it is still applied as an effective method of medical care.

    According to the passage, occupational therapy supports patients by —-.
    1.   ?    ensuring their participation in outdoor activities on a regular basis
    2.   ?    providing them with the wheelchairs they need to be able to move
    3.   ?    helping them become physically strong enough to deal with arts and crafts

  16. Global warming will bring significant changes to the world as a whole, but the particular types and scales of these impacts will be (16)—- affected by local conditions. Climate change will not just have general global effects, but (17)—- time it will create specific impacts within your very own neighbourhood. Because the changes people will face vary from place to place, local governments will be best equipped to address these problems as one-size-fits-all solutions (18)—-. National governments that signed and ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to undertake adaptation planning. Several countries, (19)—- the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and others in the Caribbean, are also undertaking regional planning.

  17. Jesse Jackson fought for the rights of African Americans during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Later on he became involved in politics and world affairs. Jackson joined the civil rights movement when he was a student. In 1965, he began working for a civil rights group led by the famous Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1971, Jackson founded the group People United to Save Humanity (PUSH). This group helped African Americans to get jobs and to open businesses. In 1984, he founded the National Rainbow Coalition (NRC) to help all kinds of people, not just African Americans. Jackson ran for President of the United States in 1984 and 1988. While he did not win either time, he did better than any other African American presidential candidates who had come before him. Jackson also gained a lot of attention for his role in world affairs. He spoke out against apartheid (separation of the races) in South Africa and took part in peace talks in the Middle East. He also worked with several countries to free US citizens being held as prisoners.

    What can be inferred from the passage about the African Americans in the 1970s?
    1.   ?    They were held in prisons in several other countries.
    2.   ?    It was difficult for them to find employment.

  19. Many cultures regard dreams as having great significance for the dreamer, either by revealing something important about the dreamer’s present circumstances or predicting his or her future. The Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud analysed the dreams of his patients to understand their unconscious needs and desires, and psychotherapists still make use of this technique today. Freud believed that the primary function of dreams was to wish fulfillment, or the idea that dreaming allows us to act out the desires that we must repress during the day. Although Freud focused on the meaning of dreams, other theories about the causes of dreams are less concerned with their content. One possibility is that we dream primarily to help with consolidation, or the moving of information into long-term memory. Rauchs and Desgranges found that rats that had been deprived of REM sleep, the sleep stage in which dreaming occurs, after learning a new task were less able to perform the task again than rats that had been allowed to dream, and these differences were greater on tasks that involved learning unusual information or developing new behaviours.

    What can be concluded from Rauchs and Desgranges’s studies?
    1.   ?    They focused their studies more on the use of information in dreams of rats.
    2.   ?    They found that rats were only able to learn a new task during REM sleep.
    3.   ?    They showed the differences between rats that learned common information and those that learned unusual information.
    4.   ?    They found that dreaming resulted in poor performance in different tasks in rats.
    5.   ?    They discovered that when rats learned a new task, dreaming helped them successfully recall the new task later on.
  20. Functioning mini human brains grown in a lab could help cure Parkinson’s. It may sound incredible, yet the created blobs may help researchers defeat Parkinson’s disease and other age-related brain conditions. The mini brain is an organoid grown from stem cells to imitate the human midbrain, the ‘information superhighway’ of the brain that controls hearing, vision and movement. Other researchers have successfully grown brain tissue in a lab, but a team made up of researchers from A Star Genome Institute of Singapore, the Duke-NUS Medical School and the National Neuroscience Institute say theirs is the first to contain neuromelanin, a dark pigment found within the human brain that is closely linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease. It also contains specialised neurons that produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved with motor control as low levels of dopamine lead to slowed reactions and disorders like Parkinson’s. Shawn Je, the lead researcher of the team, says that their mini-brain organoids mimic human midbrain development and that now they can really test how these mini brains react to existing or newly developed drugs before treating patients. This will be a game changer for future drug development.

    What is the author’s primary purpose in this passage?
    1.   ?    To explain why other researchers have failed to produce mini brains with neuromelanin
    2.   ?    To announce a new scientific breakthrough that can aid the treatment of age-related brain conditions
    3.   ?    To inform us about the development of Parkinson’s disease and other brain conditions
    4.   ?    To emphasise the importance of collaboration among researchers from various institutes
    5.   ?    To illustrate the reasons behind the failure of treatments for Parkinson’s disease
  21. The Zapotec are a group of American Indians who live in the state of Oaxaca in southern Mexico. The Zapotec have lived in what is now known as Oaxaca since about 1500 BCE. In around 500 BCE, they built their capital city known as Monte Alban. This city had flat, step-style pyramids, temples, and very elaborate and ornate tombs. Like the Zapotec people of today, the early Zapotec people were farmers. They also made fine pottery. In addition to this, they carved writing onto slabs of stone. This was one of the earliest forms of writing in the Americas. Zapotec lands once stretched from what is now Puebla – the state north of Oaxaca – to the Pacific Ocean. But after around 500 AD, Monte Alban started to fall into ruin, and a people called the Mixtec took over the city. The Zapotec started to form a number of small kingdoms, but these were conquered by the Spanish when they took over the region in the 1500s.

    What is true about the Zapotec people of today?
    1.   ?    They rely on farming just like their ancestors.
    2.   ?    They continue to live in Monte Alban to this day.
    3.   ?    They still carve their writing onto slabs of stone.

    5.   ?    I think there’s been a mistake with my bill. Would it be possible to correct it and give me a refund?
  27. Following the last Ice Age, humans had to adapt their diet and ways of life. While mobility was usual, in favourable areas with exceptional resources, communities could become settled. Hunter-gatherers used a wide variety of foods. —- For example, herd animals moved between summer upland and winter lowland pastures, marine fish and birds migrated seasonally, and woodlands produced autumn fruits and spring bulbs. However, other food sources, such as shellfish, small mammals, and freshwater fish, could be found all year round
    1.   ?    Hunter-gatherers selected environments offering a diversity of food sources, such as lakes, rivers and coasts.

    3.   ?    Before cars are disposed of, all their parts, whether metal or plastic, can be re-used by car manufacturers in many ways.
    4.   ?    It is essential for car manufacturers to make use of metal and plastic parts from old cars before their total removal.
    5.   ?    Utilisation of metal and plastic parts without wasting them when a car is discarded is what car manufacturers are attempting to achieve.

  36. Jesse Jackson fought for the rights of African Americans during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Later on he became involved in politics and world affairs. Jackson joined the civil rights movement when he was a student. In 1965, he began working for a civil rights group led by the famous Martin Luther King, Jr. In 1971, Jackson founded the group People United to Save Humanity (PUSH). This group helped African Americans to get jobs and to open businesses. In 1984, he founded the National Rainbow Coalition (NRC) to help all kinds of people, not just African Americans. Jackson ran for President of the United States in 1984 and 1988. While he did not win either time, he did better than any other African American presidential candidates who had come before him. Jackson also gained a lot of attention for his role in world affairs. He spoke out against apartheid (separation of the races) in South Africa and took part in peace talks in the Middle East. He also worked with several countries to free US citizens being held as prisoners.

    Which statement is true about Jesse Jackson’s political involvement?
    1.   ?    He was the first African American candidate for president.
    2.   ?    He was concerned for the rights of people inside and outside the US.

  37. (I) Humans need social interaction, so depriving them of social contact, like when prisoners are sent to solitary confinement, is recognised by psychologists as a form of torture. (II) On the other hand, too much social interaction can be tiring; engaging with someone is a lot of work for the brain. (III) This explains the apparent contradiction between humans needing social interaction, but also needing privacy. (IV) The social brain hypothesis, first put forward in the 90s, suggests that our sociable nature is why we have such developed brains. (V) Social interaction wears our brain out, so we need privacy to get away for a bit and recharge.

  39. Functioning mini human brains grown in a lab could help cure Parkinson’s. It may sound incredible, yet the created blobs may help researchers defeat Parkinson’s disease and other age-related brain conditions. The mini brain is an organoid grown from stem cells to imitate the human midbrain, the ‘information superhighway’ of the brain that controls hearing, vision and movement. Other researchers have successfully grown brain tissue in a lab, but a team made up of researchers from A Star Genome Institute of Singapore, the Duke-NUS Medical School and the National Neuroscience Institute say theirs is the first to contain neuromelanin, a dark pigment found within the human brain that is closely linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease. It also contains specialised neurons that produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved with motor control as low levels of dopamine lead to slowed reactions and disorders like Parkinson’s. Shawn Je, the lead researcher of the team, says that their mini-brain organoids mimic human midbrain development and that now they can really test how these mini brains react to existing or newly developed drugs before treating patients. This will be a game changer for future drug development.

    According to the passage, which of the following is true?
    1.   ?    The presence of neuromelanin can help people with Parkinson’s disease to recover from the condition
    2.   ?    Neuromelanin and dopamine are essential components to produce artificial organs.
    3.   ?    Compared to dopamine, neuromelanin can produce more neurotransmitters that enable motor control
    4.   ?    Neuromelanin and dopamine cause deterioration in our midbrain, leading to impairment in our reactions.
    5.   ?    Low levels of dopamine can be related to some other disorders along with Parkinson’s disease.

  45. Occupational therapy is a branch of medical care aiming to improve the quality of life of patients through occupational pursuits – helping them overcome disabilities resulting from illness, injury or age so that they can carry out the activities they need to perform in order to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. This means both giving them the means and mobility to pursue occupations, and selecting activities that are therapeutic to their particular condition. For example, a patient learning to get around in a wheelchair might need structural changes to their environment such as widening of doorways and fitting of ramps as well as a programme of physical exercise to build strength in their arms and shoulders. Another patient, who has suffered a stroke, might be encouraged to try arts and crafts as a way to rebuild their manual dexterity skills. Occupational therapy has a long history, dating back to the 1st century BCE and the physicians of Ancient Greece. Today, it is still applied as an effective method of medical care.

    According to the passage, the purpose of occupational therapy is to —-.
    1.   ?    improve the quality of therapies by encouraging patients to work harder
    2.   ?    enable patients to overcome their fear of getting involved in public life
    3.   ?    provide special treatment for patients who suffer from job-related illnesse

  55. Many cultures regard dreams as having great significance for the dreamer, either by revealing something important about the dreamer’s present circumstances or predicting his or her future. The Austrian psychologist Sigmund Freud analysed the dreams of his patients to understand their unconscious needs and desires, and psychotherapists still make use of this technique today. Freud believed that the primary function of dreams was to wish fulfillment, or the idea that dreaming allows us to act out the desires that we must repress during the day. Although Freud focused on the meaning of dreams, other theories about the causes of dreams are less concerned with their content. One possibility is that we dream primarily to help with consolidation, or the moving of information into long-term memory. Rauchs and Desgranges found that rats that had been deprived of REM sleep, the sleep stage in which dreaming occurs, after learning a new task were less able to perform the task again than rats that had been allowed to dream, and these differences were greater on tasks that involved learning unusual information or developing new behaviours.

    It can be understood from the passage that Freud believed that dreams —-.
    1.   ?    should be examined for the reasons behind them rather than for their content
    2.   ?    that occurred during REM sleep were easily interpreted
    3.   ?    could help one recall past memories with more accuracy

    5.   ?    contributed to the prediction of patients’ wishes more than their desires

    2.   ?    combines techniques from different medical fields to help patients
    3.   ?    has evolved dramatically since the time of Ancient Greece

  77. Forests, conserved land, and natural habitats are not important just for the sake of saving trees and animals. Forests and all greenery are important in keeping the climate in check. Plants take in the carbon in the atmosphere and give back oxygen, and older trees hold on to that carbon, storing it for the duration of their lives. By taking in carbon dioxide, they are reducing the greenhouse effect. —- And now, deforestation is responsible for about a quarter of greenhouse gas emissions.

    3.   ?    In other words, greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, which increases global average temperature.
    4.   ?    In fact, it is not only the trees and oceans that store carbon, soil does, too, and by exposing the carbon to the oxygen in the air, it helps to produce carbon dioxide.
    5.   ?    Unfortunately, many of the world’s forests have been cut down to make way for farmland, highways, and cities.

    3.   ?    If we consume more water than our kidneys can tolerate, the concentration of sodium and other electrolytes in our blood begins to drop and beyond a certain point, our cells uncontrollably absorb water.
    4.   ?    Even if more water than our kidneys can tolerate is consumed, the concentration of sodium and other electrolytes in our blood can begin to drop and beyond a certain point, our cells uncontrollably absorb this water.
    5.   ?    The concentration of sodium and other electrolytes in our blood begins to drop and beyond a certain point, our cells will uncontrollably absorb water when more water than our kidneys can tolerate is consumed.
