Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that has passed This improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests? Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information This could prepare people to the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test Test takers didn't better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of W: www.hoc247.net F: www.facebook.com/hoc247.net T: 098 1821 807 Trang | Vững vàng tảng, Khai sáng tương lai reasoning and problem solving For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and testtakers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you well on one kind of intelligence test So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be Question 36 The Flynn effect is A used to measure intelligent B an increase in IQ test scores over time C unknown in some parts of the world D not connected to our experiences Question 37 The Flynn effect must be the result of A heredity B our environment and experiences C taking fewer tests D memorizing information Question 38 IQ tests evaluate A our knowledge B our environment C our intelligence D our memories Question 39 Which sentence from the article gives a main idea? A Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect B Because we take so many tests in our lives, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test C Test-takers didn’t better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test D For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for pattern and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set Question 40 According to the article, newer education techniques include A exposure to many tests B children finding things out themselves C memorizing information D improved test scores Question 41 Why does the author mention computer games? A to give an example of technology that improve our visual intelligence B to explain why young people have poor vocabularies C to encourage the reader to exercise D to show that young people are not getting more intelligent Question 42 Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with? A People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way B People today have fewer problems to solve C People today are taking easier tests D People today have more visual intelligence 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 43 to 50 Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of W: www.hoc247.net F: www.facebook.com/hoc247.net T: 098 1821 807 Trang | Vững vàng tảng, Khai sáng tương lai learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation – that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning in clued learning languages, concepts, and motor skills Question 43 According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view comprised of?
