Part 2. The passage below contains 10 mistakes. Underline the mistakes and correct them.

Sugar was for a long time a luxury and in the opinion of the medical profession it still
should be. During the nineteenth century, however, administrators discovered ways of
producing it in vast quantities and it has before become one of the staple articles of diet,
particularly among the lower social classes. It had the advantages of being comparatively cheap,
easily digesting, rich of energy and useful for flavouring. Its major disadvantages are that it lacks
every nourishing quality minus that of giving energy, and because of its attractive flavour it tends
to displace other much most valuable foods from the diet. Most serious of all is its adverse
impact on health, since excessive consumption can cause heart trouble, obesity and dental decay.
The later is widespread among the inhabitants of western countries. From the very young to the
very old, rarely anyone escapes. Yet if parents would drastically reduce the numbers of confectionery
they allow their children to eat, the extent of dental decay would soon be checked. And if they
were to cut down the own consumption of sugar, they would suffer much less from
ailments resulting directly or indirectly from their being overweight.

Part 3. Read the text and then select the correct answer, A, B, C or D.

Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber. All living
creature, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the
little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about a bizarre animal that,
among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can
(5) live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely
edible by gourmets?

For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentricities, the sea cucumber has
subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube
feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats. Common in cool
(10) water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to such up mud or sand and
 digest whatever nutrients are present.

Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to

sand-color and nearly white. One form even has vivid purple tentacle. Usually the
creatures are cucumber-shaped-hence their name-and because they are typically
(15) rock inhabitants, this shape, combine with flexibility, enables them to squeeze
into crevices where they are safe from predators and ocean currents.

Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have
the capacity to become quiescent and live at a low metabolic rate-feeding sparingly
or not at all for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have
(20) a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food
available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence.
But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself.
Its major enemies are fish and crabs, when attacked, it squirts all its internal organs
into the water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber
(25) will eviscerate and regenerate itself if it is attached or even touched; it will do the same
if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted.

1. What does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) The reason for the sea cucumber's name
(B) What makes the sea cucumber unusual
(C) How to identify the sea cucumber
(D) Places where the sea cucumber can be found

2. In line 3, the word "bizarre" is closest in meaning to

(A) odd (B) marine (C) simple (D) rare

3. According to the Passage, why is the shape of sea cucumbers important?

(A) It helps the to digest their food.
(B) It helps them to protect themselves from danger.
(C) It makes it easier for them to move through the mud.
(D) It makes them attractive to fish.

4. The word "this faculty" in line 20 refer to the sea cucumber's ability to
(A) squeeze into crevices (B) devour all available food in a short time
(C) such up mud or sand (D) live at a low metabolic rate

5. The fourth paragraph of the passage primarily discuss

(A) the reproduction of sea cucumbers (B) the food sources of sea cucumbers
(C) the eating habits of sea cucumbers (D) threats to sea cucumbers' existence

6. The phrase "casts off" in line 24 is closest in meaning to

(A) grows again (B) grabs
 (C) gets rid of (D) uses as a weapon

7. Of all the characteristics of the sea cucumber, which of the following seems to fascinate the
author most?
(A) What it does when threatened (B) Where it lives
(C) How it hides from predators (D) What it eats

8. What can be inferred about the defense mechanisms of the sea cucumber?
(A) They are very sensitive to surrounding stimuli.
(B) They are almost useless.
(C) They require group cooperation.
(D) They are similar to those of most sea creatures.

9. Which of the following would NOT cause a sea cucumber to release its internal organs into
the water?
(A) A touch (B) Food
(C) Unusually warm water (D) Pollution

10. Which of the following is an example of behavior comparable with the sea cucumber living
at a low metabolic rate?
(A) An octopus defending itself with its tentacles
(B) A bear hibernating in the wintering
(C) A pig eating constantly
(D) A parasite living on its host's blood (test 33)

Inside the mind of the consumer

Could brain-scanning technology provide an accurate way to assess the appeal of new
products and the effectiveness of advertising?

A. MARKETING people are no longer prepared to take your word for it that you favour one
product over another. They want to scan your brain to see which one you really prefer. Using
the tools of neurosclerosis, such as electroencephalogram (EEG) mapping and functional
magnetic-resonance imaging (fMRI), they are trying to learn more about the mental processes
behind purchasing decisions. The resulting fusion of neuroscience and marketing is inevitably
being called 'neuromarketing'.

B. The first person to apply brain-imaging technology in this way was Gerry Zaltman of
Harvard University, in the late 1990s. The idea remained in obscurity until 2001, when
BrightHouse, a marketing consultancy based in Atlanta, Georgia, set up a dedicated
neuromarketing arm, BrighttHouse Neurostrategies Group. (Bright House lists Coca-Cola,
Delta Airlines and Home Depot among its clients.) But the company's name may itself simply
be an example of clever marketing. BrightHouse does not scan people while showing them
specific products or campaign ideas, but bases its work on the results of more general fMRI-
based research into consumer preferences and decision-making carried out at Emory University
in Atlanta.

C. Can brain scanning really be applied to marketing? The basic principle is not that different
from focus groups and other traditional forms of market research. A volunteer lies in an fMRI
machine and is shown images or video clips. In place of an interview or questionnaire, the
subject's response is evaluated by monitoring brain activity. fMRI provides real-time images of
brain activity, in which different areas 'light up' depending on the level of blood flow. This
provides clues to the subject's subconscious thought patterns. Neuroscientists know, for
example, that the sense of self is associated with an area of the brain known as the medial
prefrontal cortex. A flow of blood to that area while the subject is looking at a particular logo
suggests that he or she identifies with that brand.

D. At first, it seemed that only companies in Europe were prepared to admit that they used
neuromarketing. Two carmakers. Daimler Chrysler in Germany and Ford s European arm, ran
pilot studies in 2003. But more recently, American companies have become more open about
their use of neuromarketing. Lieberman Research Worldwide, a marketing firm based in Los
Angeles, is collaborating with the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to enable
movie studios to market-test film trailers. More controversially, the Mew York Times recently
reported that a political consultancy, FKF Research, has been studying the effectiveness of
campaign commercials using neuromarketing techniques.

E. Whether all this is any more than a modern-day version of phrenology, the Victorian
obsession with linking lumps and bumps in the skull to personality traits, is unclear. There have
been no large-scale studies, so scans of a handful of subjects may not be a reliable guide to
consumer behaviour in general. Of course, focus groups and surveys are flawed too: strong
personalities can steer the outcomes of focus groups, and some people may be untruthful in
their responses to opinion pollsters. And even honest people cannot always explain their
preferences.

F. Thai is perhaps where neuromarketing has the most potential. When asked about cola drinks,
most people claim to have a favourite brand, but cannot say why they prefer that brand's taste.
An unpublished study of attitudes towards two well-known cola drinks, Brand A and Brand B,
carried out last year in a college of medicine in the US found that most subjects preferred
Brand B in a blind tasting- fMRI scanning showed that drinking Brand B lit up a region called
the ventral putamen, which is one of the brain's 'reward centres', far more brightly than Brand
A. But when told which drink was which, most subjects said they preferred Brand A, which
suggests that its stronger brand outweighs the more pleasant taste of the other drink.

G. ‘People form many unconscious attitudes that are obviously beyond traditional methods that
utilize introspection,’ says Steven Quartz, a neuroscientist at Caltech who is collaborating
with Lieberman Research. With over $100 billion spent each year on marketing in America
alone, any firm that can more accurately analyse how customers respond to brands could make
a fortune.

H . Consumer advocates are wary. Gary Kuskin of Commercial Alert, a lobby group, thinks
existing marketing techniques are powerful enough. ‘Already, marketing is deeply implicated
in many serious pathologies,’ he says. ‘That is especially true of children, who are suffering
from an epidemic of marketing-related diseases, including obesity and type-2 diabetes.
Neuromarketing is a tool to amplify these trends.’

I. Dr Quartz counters that neuromarketing techniques could equally he used for benign
purposes. 'There are ways to utilise these technologies to create more responsible advertising."
he says. Brain-scanning could for example, be used to determine when people are capable of
making free choices, to ensure that advertising falls within those bounds.

J. Another worry is that brain-scanning is an invasion of privacy and that information on the
preferences of specific individuals will be misused. But neuromarketing studies rely on small
numbers of volunteer subjects, so that seems implausible. Critics also object to the use of
medical equipment for frivolous rather than medical purposes. But as Tim Ambler, a
neuromarketing researcher at the London Business School, says: 'A tool is a tool, and if the
owner of the tool gels a decent rent for hiring it out, then that subsidises the cost of the
equipment, and everybody wins.' Perhaps more brain-scanning will some day explain why some
people like the idea of neuromarketing, but others do not.
