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 51 to 60.
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time
elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first
place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area.
The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also
known as the working memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted
theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember
approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a
word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity
of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information,
one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many
people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a memory
alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as
a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not
handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the
dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the
number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to
long term memory. A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning semantic
meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done
by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and
used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting.
The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why
multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.
Question 51. According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?
A. They revert from the long term memory.
B. They are filtered from the sensory storage area.
C. They get chunked when they enter the brain.
D. They enter via the nervous system.
Question 52. The word elapses in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to:
A. passes B. adds up C. appears D. continues
Question 53. All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the:
A. STM B. long term memory
C. sensory storage area D. maintenance area
5Question 54. Why does the author mention a dog's bark?
A. To give an example of a type of memory
B. To provide a type of interruption
C. To prove that dogs have better memories than humans
D. To compare another sound that is loud like a doorbell
Question 55. How do theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time?
A. By organizing it B. By repeating it
C. By giving it a name D. By drawing it
Question 56. The author believes that rote rotation is:
A. the best way to remember something B. more efficient than chunking
C. ineffective in the long run D. an unnecessary interruption
Question 57. The word elaborate in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:
A. complex B. efficient C. pretty D. regular
Question 58. Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?
A. The working memory is the same as the short term memory.
B. A memory is kept alive through constant repetition.
C. Cues help people to recognize information.
D. Multiple choice exams are the most difficult.
Question 59. The word cues in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. questions B. clues C. images D. tests
Question 60. Which of the following best provides the important information in the bold sentence from the
passage. Incorrect answer choices leave out essential information or change the meaning of it
A. Prompting is the easiest way to retrieve short term memory after an extended period of time.
B. A memory can be retrieved by prompting, in a case where it has been rarely used.
C. It's easier to remember short term memories than long term memories due to regular prompts.
D. Recalling a long term memory that is often used is easy, while forgotten memories often require prompting.
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 61 to 70.
The lack of printing regulations and the unenforceability of British copyright law in the American
colonies made it possible for colonial printers occasionally to act as publishers. Although they rarely
undertook major publishing project because it was difficult to sell books as cheaply as they could be imported
from Europe, printers in Philadelphia did publish work that required only small amounts of capital, paper, and
type. Broadsides could be published with minimal financial risk. Consisting of only one sheet of paper and
requiring small amounts of type, broadsides involved lower investments of capital than longer works.
Furthermore, the broadside format lent itself to subjects of high, if temporary, interest, enabling them to meet
with ready sale. If the broadside printer miscalculated, however, and produced a sheet that did not sell, it was
not likely to be a major loss, and the printer would know this immediately, There would be no agonizing wait
with large amounts of capital tied up, books gathering dust on the shelves, and creditors impatient for payment.
In addition to broadsides, books and pamphlets, consisting mainly of political tracts, catechisms,
primers, and chapbooks were relatively inexpensive to print and to buy. Chapbook were pamphlet-sized
books, usually containing popular tales, ballads, poems, short plays, and jokes, small, both in formal and
number of pages, they were generally bound simply, in boards (a form of cardboard) or merely stitched in
paper wrappers (a sewn antecedent of modern-day paperbacks). Pamphlets and chapbooks did not require
fine paper or a great deal of type to produce they could thus be printed in large, cost-effective editions and
sold cheaply.
By far, the most appealing publishing investments were to be found in small books that had proven to
be steady sellers, providing a reasonably reliable source of income for the publisher. They would not, by
nature, be highly topical or political, as such publications would prove of fleeting interest. Almanacs, annual
publications that contained information on astronomy and weather patterns arranged according to the days,
week, and months of a given year, provided the perfect steady seller because their information pertained to the
locale in which they would be used
6Question 61.Which aspect of colonial printing does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Laws governing the printing industry. B. Competition among printers
C. Types of publications produced D. Advances in printing technology
Question 62. According to the passage, why did colonial printers avoid major publishing projects?

B. There was inadequate shipping available in the colonies.
C. Colonial printers could not sell their work for a competitive price.
D. Colonial printers did not have the skills necessary to undertake large publishing projects.
Question 63. Broadsides could be published with little risk to colonial printers because they
A. required a small financial investment and sold quickly
B. were in great demand in European markets
C. were more popular with colonists than chapbooks and pamphlets
D. generally dealt with topics of long-term interest to many colonists
Question 64. The word "they" refers to
A. chapbooks B. tales C. jokes D. pages
