One surprising truth about hypocrisy is its relevance, contrary to widespread belief. The fact that someone is a hypocrite does not necessarily mean that his or her position on an issue is false. Environmentalists who throw rubbish and litter do not disprove the claims of environmentalism. Politicians who publicly oppose illegal immigration but privately employ illegal immigrants in their companies do not thereby prove that contesting illegal immigration is wrong. Even if every animal-rights activist is exposed as a secret meat eater, it still might be wrong to eat meat. More generally, just because a person does not have the strength to live up to his or her own standards does not mean that such standards are not praiseworthy and worth trying to meet. It therefore seems that charges of hypocrisy have nothing to do with the issues themselves.
29. Based on the passage, we may conclude that ----.
hypocrisy is something every individual may have to face in his or her life
doing exactly what one says deserves a word of praise from everyone
doing the opposite of what one claims should not discredit an idea
charges of hypocrisy should not be levelled at people who are hypocrites
one’s position on an issue is determined by what he or she actually does

a littering environmentalist can be excused for his weakness
littering environmentalists damage the cause of environmentalism
employing illegal immigrants by politicians is completely wrong

the wish to live up to one’s own standards is itself praiseworthy

Fertility rates in the West had been falling for more than a century, and so following World War II, demographers expected only a modest increase. What happened instead was “the baby boom”. Since then, scientists have been arguing about the causes. The best-known explanation comes from economist Richard A. Easterlin of the University of Southern California. He argues that the baby boom resulted from the unprecedented mix of three developments: an expansion of the economy, restricted immigration since the mid-1920s, and a relatively small group of new job seekers because of low fertility in the late 1920s and 1930s. This combination created unusually good job prospects for young people after World War II, and so feeling more prosperous than their parents, they married earlier and had more children.
32. It can be inferred from the passage that ----.
population growth in the past enabled the present economic growth
scientists have suggested various ways to stop “the baby boom”
high fertility rates in the West were the cause of World War II
it is not always easy to explain population growth as there are various factors to consider
fertility rates tend to increase after great disasters such as wars

33. As it is stated in the passage, “the baby boom” ----.
resulted from a mixture of developments that happened during the war
occurred just before World War II broke out
had a negative effect on the prosperity of people
could be explained by the number of people of marrying age
was the result of unusually good job prospects

34. The reason why young people married early and had more children is that they ----.
felt much better off economically than their parents

saw that there were very few people looking for jobs
thought their children would find well-paid jobs
E) wanted to contribute to the welfare of the world by having more children

Mountains have always evoked awe and inspired artists and adventurers throughout human existence. More recent research has led to important new insights into how mountains, the most magnificent of the Earth’s formations, came to be the way they are. Mountains are created and shaped, it now appears, not only by the movements of the vast tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s exterior but also by factors such as climate and erosion. In particular, the interactions between tectonic, climatic and erosional processes exert strong control over the shape and maximum height of the mountains as well as the amount of time necessary to build – or destroy – a mountain range. Paradoxically, the shaping of mountains seems to depend as much on the destructive forces of erosion as on the constructive power of tectonics.
35. As it is stated in the passage, recent research has ----.
created more questions about the way mountains were formed
shown why mountains look so magnificent on the face of the Earth
enabled us to have better ideas about how mountains are shaped
demonstrated that tectonic plates move usually in one direction
confirmed what we already knew about mountain formations

36. The movements of tectonic plates, the climate and erosion are factors ----.
responsible for all the interactions that occur on the Earth’s exterior
that are effective in the shaping and creation of mountains
that help mountains reach great heights
that collectively form the interior of the Earth
in creating the most magnificent views on the Earth

37. We can understand from the passage that the destructive forces of erosion and the constructive power of tectonics ----.
are paradoxical powers that destroy mountains
can create mountain ranges with different climates
both play an equal role in the formation of mountains
take an equal amount of time to build a mountain
are not sufficient to build mountain ranges

Essentially, memory is the process of learning information, storing it, and then having the ability to recall it when needed – whether to solve problems, tell stories, or save yourself on the witness stand. Learning begins with those power connections in your brain: neurons firing messages to one another. Your ability to process information is determined by the junctions between those neurons, called “synapses”. The ability of brain cells to speak to one another is strengthened or weakened as you use them. Essentially, the more you use those synapses, the stronger they get and the more rapidly they increase. That’s why you may have strong neural pathways for your family history or weak ones for 1980s music trivia. That also gives you a little insight into how you remember things. If something is exciting to you, then you learn it faster – and train those synapses to make stronger connections.
38. According to the passage, memory is used to ----.
receive, retain and remember information
learn how to save yourself on the witness stand
find out whether problems can be solved or not
tell stories in order to make others laugh
provide someone with the ability to memorize

39. The term “synapses” refers to ----.
the process of being able to speak to one another
the messages sent from one part of the body to another
the ability of the brain to heal itself
processes that take place outside the brain
the connections between message-firing neurons

40. We can learn from the passage that ----.
the ability of brain cells to send messages to one another hardly ever changes
the more you use synapses, the weaker they become
you tend to remember your family history as equally as things you find uninteresting
there is a correlation between the frequency of using junctions and recalling information
the ability to process information is determined by the physical size of the brain

Many bilingual individuals say they feel like a different person depending on which language they are speaking. A new study lends credibility to their claims. Nairan Ramirez at the University of Texas charted the personality traits of 225 Spanish/English bilinguals in both the US and Mexico as they responded to questions presented in each language. She found three significant differences: when using English, the bilinguals were extroverted, agreeable and more conscientious than when using Spanish. Bilingual individuals can assume different roles depending on environmental cues. To show that changes in personality can be triggered by something as subtle as language suggests that personality is more flexible than is widely expected. The results are significant in that they document the contextual nature of personality. Given the increasing number of bilingual people, it is important to develop a better understanding of bilingual minds.

You have just spent a week’s holiday in a five- star hotel. Although the brochure was very attractive, the reality was quite different. You are very disappointed and feel that you have to say something about this discrepancy. Before you leave, you see the manager and say:
You really ought to improve your brochure!
The way you advertise this hotel in your brochure is very misleading!
I think you need to appoint a new manager!
I’d like to extend my holiday and stay for another week!
You’ve cheated me. I’ve been overcharged!

In 1938, a Peruvian farmer discovered an enormous quantity of ancient gold objects, setting off grave-robbing in northern Peru. Grave robbers dug some 100,000 holes throughout the Pomac Historic Sanctuary. ---- Loads of valuable Sicán artefacts were dug up and sold. Fortunately, many of them eventually found their way to national museums, such as the Gold of Peru Museum in Lima.
They were, however, unsuccessful finding any valuable artefacts to sell on the black market.
Besides, the Sanctuary hosts a range of tombs from those for children to those for rulers.
They also used bulldozers to push away the remains of structures to find tombs buried below.
Priceless artefacts in Peru have been plundered despite the government’s attempts to stop it.
Grave robbers were subsequently caught by archaeologists working in the Historic Sanctuary.
Today, courts rarely admit brain scans as evidence at trials for both legal and scientific reasons. ---- The greatest influence of brain science on the law may eventually come from a deeper understanding of the neurobiological causes of anti-social behaviour. Future discoveries could lay the foundation for new types of criminal defences, for example.
The types of brain scans to be taken as evidence at law trials today have been limited to criminal cases involving multiple homicides.
The courts should proceed in their adoption of findings from neuroscience, despite their complete misgivings about it.
The rest of the society can rightly be sceptical of neuroscience, of which they have scant knowledge.
As neuroscience matures, however, judges may allow such scans relevant to arguments about a defendant’s mental state.
It is highly unlikely that someday brain scans and other types of neurological evidence could transform judicial views of personal credibility and responsibility.
---- Most of the water-intensive agriculture in the nation takes place in Punjab, a state in the northwest that makes up 2% of the country’s territory. But it provides more than 50% of its grain reserves. Farmers there currently pump out 45% more groundwater than is replaced by monsoon rains. The problem has arisen in part because Punjabi farmers have turned away from growing traditional crops that are suited for semi- arid land, such as wheat and corn, and turned instead to more profitable, but water-intensive, rice.
Punjab has the best agricultural land in India.
The amount of rain water in India is on the increase.
Hardships among Indian farmers are increasing.
Farming is no longer a concern in India.
India is running out of water for its crops.
Naming species is a convenience applied by biologists as they try to group similar animals together. Ernst Mayer, long ago, defined a species as a group of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations. ---- But there are at least a dozen other ways to define and categorize species, involving evolutionary history, morphology or DNA analysis. The problem is that evolution does not act on species directly.
Identification of species is not so easily done from a distance.
This is a working definition that many biologists prefer to use.
Definitions of species are easily broken down when examined closely.
Definitions are so blurry that one can hardly find a workable one.
The definition based on interbreeding is the only one accepted.
China is an easy target to blame for the climate crisis. In the midst of its industrial revolution, China has overtaken the United States as the world’s biggest carbon dioxide producer. And everyone has read about the one-a-week pace of power plant construction there. But those numbers are misleading, and not just because a lot of that carbon dioxide was emitted to build products for the West to consume. ----
This is because the United States is only concerned about its own gross domestic product.
Each Chinese person is individually responsible for the carbon dioxide emission.
Because of China’s high development rate, more carbon dioxide is emitted than ever.
But also because China has four times the population of the United States.
The Chinese are as responsible for global warming as the Americans.
