According to James Flynn, a professor at a<br /> New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have<br /> gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points betterfor every decade that has passed.This<br /> improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it.<br /> IQ tests and other similartests are designedto measure general intelligence ratherthan knowledge. Flynn knew<br /> that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences,<br /> but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was<br /> happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?<br /> Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test<br /> scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn testtaking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results<br /> in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain developmentthan in the past. Another possible<br /> explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things<br /> for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem<br /> solvingthat intelligence tests require.<br /> Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the<br /> improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Testtakers didn't do better on the arithmetic or<br /> vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem<br /> solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns<br /> and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.<br /> Trang 3/5 - TIẾNG ANH - Mã đề 303<br /> <br /> According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.<br /> Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising<br /> exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do wellon one kind of intelligence test. So are<br /> you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.<br /> Question 36: The Flynn effect is____________.<br /> A. used to measure intelligent<br /> B. an increase in IQ test scores over time<br /> C. not connected to our experiences<br /> D. unknown in some parts of the world<br /> Question 37: The Flynn effect must be the result of____________.<br /> A. our environment and experiences<br /> B. heredity<br /> C. taking fewer tests<br /> D. memorizing information<br /> Question 38: IQ tests evaluate____________.<br /> A. our intelligence<br /> B. our memories<br /> C. our knowledge<br /> D. our environment<br /> Question 39: Which sentence from the article gives a main idea?<br /> A. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for pattern and<br /> connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.<br /> B. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test.<br /> C. Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect.<br /> D. Because we take so many tests in our lives, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on<br /> any test.<br /> Question 40: According to the article, newer education techniques include____________.<br /> A. exposure to many tests<br /> B. memorizing information<br /> C. children finding things out themselves<br /> D. improved test scores<br /> Question 41: .

People today have fewer problems to solve.<br /> Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the<br /> correct answer to each of the question:<br /> Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to<br /> think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the<br /> classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.<br /> Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate<br /> toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in<br /> their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to<br /> their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and<br /> mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are<br /> likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other<br /> children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives,<br /> such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.<br /> Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is<br /> important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children.<br /> Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain<br /> experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of<br /> learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.<br /> Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who<br /> study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the<br /> Trang 4/5 - TIẾNG ANH - Mã đề 303<br /> <br /> brain later retrievesknowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more<br /> interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.<br /> There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a<br /> single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In<br /> a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence,<br /> such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between<br /> a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation –<br /> that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning in clued learning languages,<br /> concepts, and motor skills.<br /> Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view comprised of?<br /> A.
