TEXT FOR LISTENING
1. (Man): Good
morning, everyone. Welcome to the Grand Opening of the National Museum of
Modern Art. We're thrilled to present our newest exhibition, "Echoes of
Tomorrow," a collection that explores the intersection of technology and
human emotion. (Woman): The centerpiece of the exhibition is a
groundbreaking interactive installation called "The Dream Weaver."
Visitors can contribute to a collective digital artwork by simply speaking

data, but I’m struggling with the conclusion. It’s hard to predict how quickly
consumers will adopt these new technologies. (Woman): I understand.
Maybe focus on the current adoption rates and the key factors influencing
consumer behavior, rather than trying to make a precise long-term forecast. (Man):
That’s a good point. I was getting bogged down in the future projections. I’ll

is overcrowded and inefficient, especially during peak hours. The new plan
includes expanding the subway lines and adding more bus routes. (Man):
That sounds promising. But I’m concerned about the cost. Who’s going to fund
all these new projects? (Woman): They’re proposing a combination of
federal grants and a slight increase in local property taxes. It won't be

III. Read the following passages
and answer the questions. (26-45)
Passage 1 (26-28)
The burgeoning field of
neuroaesthetics explores the biological bases of aesthetic experiences.
Researchers in this discipline investigate how the brain processes art, music,
and beauty, seeking to understand why certain stimuli evoke feelings of
pleasure or profound emotional responses. Early studies, for instance, have
utilized fMRI scans to observe brain activity while subjects view paintings or
listen to musical compositions. These studies have revealed activation in
reward centers of the brain, suggesting a deep-seated connection between
aesthetic appreciation and fundamental human reward systems.
However, neuroaesthetics is not
solely concerned with universal principles of beauty. It also delves into the
complex interplay of individual preferences, cultural influences, and personal
history that shape our aesthetic judgments. While some neural mechanisms for
processing sensory information might be hardwired, the meaning and emotional
impact derived from a work of art are profoundly influenced by learned
associations and cultural contexts. This multifaceted approach underscores the
intricate nature of human perception and the challenge of isolating purely
biological components of aesthetic experience.
26. What is the primary
focus of neuroaesthetics? (A) The history of art and music. (B) The economic
impact of the arts. (C) The biological foundations of aesthetic experiences. (D)
The psychological effects of technology on the brain.
27. According to the
passage, what do fMRI studies in neuroaesthetics suggest? (A) Aesthetic
appreciation is purely a cultural phenomenon. (B) There is a link between
aesthetic appreciation and brain reward systems. (C) Only certain types of art
activate brain activity. (D) Individual preferences are the sole determinant of
aesthetic response.
28. The word
"burgeoning" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to: (A)
declining (B) stagnant (C) developing rapidly (D) controversial
Passage 2 (29-32)
The concept of "ecological
overshoot" refers to the point at which humanity's demand for ecological
resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in
that year. For decades, scientific data has indicated that we are consuming
resources at an unsustainable rate, using up nature's capital faster than it
can be replenished. This deficit accumulates, leading to a host of
environmental problems, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, water
scarcity, and climate change.
Addressing ecological overshoot
requires a fundamental shift in our production and consumption patterns. This
includes transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving resource
efficiency, adopting sustainable agriculture practices, and significantly
reducing waste. Furthermore, a global commitment to conservation and
restoration efforts is crucial for replenishing natural capital. While the
challenges are immense, the increasing awareness of our ecological footprint
and the proliferation of innovative solutions offer a glimmer of hope for a
more sustainable future.
29. What is the main idea of
the first paragraph? (A) Earth's resources are unlimited. (B) Humanity is
consuming resources at an unsustainable rate. (C) Climate change is the only
environmental problem. (D) Deforestation is the primary cause of resource
depletion.
30. The word
"replenished" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to: (A)
depleted (B) exhausted (C) restored (D) consumed
31. Which of the following
is NOT mentioned as a way to address ecological overshoot? (A) Transitioning to
renewable energy. (B) Reducing waste. (C) Increasing consumption. (D) Adopting
sustainable agriculture.
32. What is the tone of the
second paragraph regarding the future? (A) Pessimistic (B) Indifferent (C)
Cautiously optimistic (D) Alarmed
Passage 3 (33-36)
The invention of the printing press
in the 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg marked a pivotal moment in human
history, fundamentally transforming the dissemination of knowledge and the
structure of society. Before its advent, books were laboriously hand-copied by
scribes, making them scarce, expensive, and largely inaccessible to the general
populace. The printing press revolutionized this process, enabling the mass
production of books at a fraction of the cost and time.
This technological innovation had
far-reaching consequences. It played a crucial role in the Protestant
Reformation, as it facilitated the rapid spread of religious texts and
challenging new ideas. It fueled the Renaissance by making classical texts more
widely available, contributing to a resurgence of learning and intellectual
inquiry. Furthermore, the increased availability of printed materials led to
higher literacy rates and the standardization of languages, laying the
groundwork for modern education systems and the rise of national identities.
The printing press truly democratized knowledge, ushering in an era of
unprecedented intellectual and cultural advancement.
33. What was the primary impact
of the printing press mentioned in the passage? (A) It made books more
expensive. (B) It limited the spread of new ideas. (C) It transformed the
dissemination of knowledge. (D) It encouraged hand-copying of books.
34. Before the printing
press, how were books produced? (A) By mass production in factories. (B) By
mechanical printers. (C) By scribes hand-copying them. (D) By digital
reproduction.
35. The word
"pivotal" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to: (A)
insignificant (B) minor (C) crucial (D) detrimental
36. Which of the following
was a consequence of the printing press, according to the passage? (A) A
decrease in literacy rates. (B) The decline of national identities. (C) The
standardization of languages. (D) The slowing down of intellectual inquiry.
Passage 4 (37-40)
The "butterfly effect" is
a concept that illustrates how small, seemingly insignificant changes in
complex systems can lead to large, unpredictable outcomes. Often associated
with chaos theory, the term was coined by meteorologist Edward Lorenz, who
observed that a minute difference in initial conditions—such as the flap of a
butterfly's wings in Brazil—could theoretically lead to a hurricane in Texas
weeks later. This does not imply that a single butterfly's wing flap directly causes
a hurricane, but rather that it represents a tiny, undetectable perturbation
that, when amplified through the intricate feedback loops of the atmosphere,
can alter the trajectory of a weather system.
The butterfly effect has
implications beyond meteorology, influencing fields ranging from economics to
social sciences. It highlights the inherent unpredictability of many natural
and social phenomena, making precise long-term forecasting challenging, if not
impossible. Understanding this concept encourages a humble approach to
predictions and emphasizes the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate
elements within complex systems. It underscores the idea that even the smallest
action can have unforeseen ripple effects.
37. What is the
"butterfly effect" primarily used to illustrate? (A) The predictable
nature of complex systems. (B) How large changes lead to small outcomes. (C)
The impact of small changes on large outcomes in complex systems. (D) The
direct causation between a butterfly and a hurricane.
38. Who coined the term
"butterfly effect"? (A) A social scientist. (B) An economist. (C) A
meteorologist. (D) A philosopher.
39. The word
"perturbation" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to: (A)
stability (B) disturbance (C) predictability (D) equilibrium
40. According to the
passage, what does the butterfly effect imply about long-term forecasting in
complex systems? (A) It is always accurate. (B) It is precise and easy. (C) It
is challenging, if not impossible. (D) It is only applicable to weather
systems.
Passage 5 (41-45)
The practice of mindfulness, rooted
in ancient Buddhist traditions, has gained significant traction in contemporary
Western societies as a secular therapeutic technique. At its core, mindfulness
involves paying deliberate attention to the present moment, without judgment.
This means observing one's thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations as they
arise, rather than getting caught up in ruminating about the past or worrying
about the future.
Numerous scientific studies have
demonstrated the efficacy of mindfulness-based interventions in alleviating
stress, anxiety, and depression. By cultivating a non-reactive awareness,
individuals can develop a greater sense of emotional regulation and resilience.
Furthermore, mindfulness has been shown to improve cognitive functions such as
attention span and working memory. While often practiced through meditation,
mindfulness can also be integrated into daily life through simple exercises
like mindful eating or walking, making it an accessible tool for promoting
mental well-being in a fast-paced world.
41. What is the core
principle of mindfulness as described in the passage? (A) Dwelling on past
mistakes. (B) Planning meticulously for the future. (C) Paying deliberate
attention to the present moment without judgment. (D) Suppressing all negative
emotions.
