READING COMPREHENSION (10 PTS): Read the texts below and choose the best answer to each question. <\/span><\/p> Passage A<\/span> <\/span><\/p> It is well known that adequate sleep is important in the formation of memories. Two recent studies indicate that performance of motor skills tasks was greatly enhanced if subjects were allowed to sleep immediately following training. In one study students were taught a series of finger-tapping sequences and then tested for their memory of the tasks. Performances were 34% faster for the first group of students, who slept for eight hours immediately after learning the sequences, as compared to the second group, who were kept awake during that time. Furthermore, error rates were 30% lower for the group that slept after learning. Performance on the tasks was shown to be unaffected by sleep deprivation prior to the training. Differences in performance persisted two days later, after the second group of students had also had a full night\u2019s sleep. This indicates that a window of opportunity exists for sleep to be effective in aiding the memory of motor skills.<\/span><\/p> In the other study, a group of people who were taught keyboarding sequences in the morning, and then tested 12 hours later without a period of sleep, improved their typing ability by 2%. Another group, who were taught the sequences in the evening, and then tested 12 hours later after a night\u2019s sleep, improved their typing ability by 20%. This study found that performance improvement is linked to Stage 2 sleep, or non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, typically experienced late at night or in the early morning hours. According to this study, those who get up earlier than usual, thus interrupting their Stage 2 sleep, may have difficulty remembering motor skills tasks they had learned the day before. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p> 61. According to the studies, what improves motor skills performance? <\/span><\/p> A. Waiting two days before continuing instruction <\/span><\/p> B. Learning tasks in the correct sequence <\/span><\/p> C. Learning a skill and then sleeping <\/span><\/p> D. Getting a good night\u2019s sleep before learning a skill <\/span><\/p> 62. The findings of the first study indicate that ______. <\/span><\/p> A. sleep deprivation before learning a task has a negative effect on performance <\/span><\/p> B. sleeping immediately after learning a task has a positive effect on performance <\/span><\/p> C. sleep deprivation immediately after learning a task has no effect on performance D. sleeping immediately before learning a task has a positive effect on performance 63. The results of the second study ______. <\/span><\/p> A. are unrelated to the first study <\/span><\/p> B. contradict the results of the first study <\/span><\/p> C. confirm the results of the first study <\/span><\/p> D. explain the results of the first study <\/span><\/p> 64. According to the passage, what is the importance of NREM sleep? <\/span><\/p> A. A decrease in NREM improves the formation of memories. <\/span><\/p> B. Too much NREM slows down the formation of memories. <\/span><\/p> C. There is no relationship between NREM and the formation of memories. <\/span><\/p> D. Lack of NREM inhibits the formation of memories. <\/span><\/p> 65. According to the studies, which strategy would be best for learning to play the piano? A. Learning in the evening, and then getting a good night\u2019s sleep <\/span><\/p> B. Learning immediately after getting up very early <\/span><\/p> C. Learning in the morning, and then doing something else <\/span><\/p> D. Learning late in the evening and then taking a short nap <\/span><\/p> Passage B<\/span> <\/span><\/p> Scientists at a Texas university have successfully cloned a cat for the first time. DNA obtained from a female donor cat named Rainbow was transplanted into an egg cell whose nucleus and chromosomes had been previously removed. The egg cell was then implanted into a surrogate mother, Allie. Sixty-six days later, a kitten, later named Copy Cat, was born. The breakthrough in cloning a household pet was greeted with excitement by pet lovers, many of whom have already \u201cbanked\u201d their pets\u2019 DNA and even made financial contributions to the university in the hope of one day obtaining a clone. The news was also welcomed by scientists interested in the preservation of endangered species. <\/span><\/p> Although scientists now have the technology to clone animals, Copy Cat\u2019s birth came only after several unsuccessful attempts at cloning a cat. Researchers first tried using skin cells from a donor cat to create a clone, but only one pregnancy resulted out of 188 embryos, and this ended in a miscarriage. Scientists then tried using cells from cats\u2019 ovarian tissue. Out of 87 such embryos, only Copy Cat survived. Although comparable to the success rate in sheep, cows, goats and pigs, these odds must be reduced to make pet cloning feasible. <\/span><\/p> Animal rights activists claim that pet cloning is dangerous for the animals involved, and that it could needlessly increase the pet population of the country. Also, activists say that believing cloning will bring the same animal back is a fallacy. <\/span><\/p> Although Copy Cat\u2019s coat color is similar to Rainbow\u2019s and a genetic match confirms that she is indeed a clone, her behavior and personality are very different. Rainbow is reserved, while Copy Cat is playful and curious. In reality, social environment and upbringing are more likely to determine the personality of an animal than genetic material and blood type. <\/span><\/p> 66. The main purpose of this passage is to ______. <\/span><\/p> A. advocate further research into pet cloning <\/span><\/p> B. encourage pet lovers to bank their pets\u2019 DNA <\/span><\/p> C. generate funds for the university\u2019s pet cloning project <\/span><\/p> D. present the pros and cons associated with cloning pets<\/span><\/p> 67. What is Allie\u2019s relationship to Copy Cat? <\/span><\/p> A. She gave birth to Copy Cat. <\/span><\/p> B. She was cloned from Copy Cat\u2019s DNA. <\/span><\/p> C. She has the same personality as Copy Cat. <\/span><\/p> D. She provided the donor cells used to create Copy Cat. <\/span><\/p> 68. According to the passage, what important fact should pet lovers keep in mind before cloning their pet? A. Banking a pet\u2019s DNA is expensive. <\/span><\/p> B. Cloning will bring back the same animal. <\/span><\/p> C. The clone could be different from the original animal. <\/span><\/p> D. Cloning sheep, cows and pigs is easier than cloning a cat. <\/span><\/p> 69. What beneficial effect might cloning have in the future? <\/span><\/p> A. It could be used to prevent miscarriages. <\/span><\/p> B. It could be used to prevent the extinction of rare animals. <\/span><\/p> C. It could reduce the number of unwanted pets in the country. <\/span><\/p> D. It could reduce the impact of upbringing on a pet\u2019s behavior. <\/span><\/p> 70. According to the passage, which factor is most important in determining a pet\u2019s behavior? A. Its DNA <\/span><\/p><\/span><\/span>\u0110\u1ec0 CH\u00cdNH TH\u1ee8C<\/span><\/p>
