	Psychologists  who  study  information  processing  have  identified  and  described  several  memory structures that clarify how our memory works. They include the sensory register short-term memory, and long-term memory. Each structure varies as to how much information it can hold and for how long.
A description of how human process information typically begins with environmental stimuli. Our sense receptors are constantly stimulated by visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory stimuli. These experiences are initially recorded in the sensory register, so named because information is thought to be encoded there in the same form in which it was perceived. The purpose of the sensory register is to hold information one to three seconds. Information not recognized or otherwise selected by us disappears from the  system. The  sensory register  can  hold  about  twelve  items  of  information  at  a  time. Typists  make extensive use of the sensory register in order to remember words just long enough to get them typed. If no further processing takes place, a typist’s ability to recall that information later is minimal. Similarly, most of us have had the experience of reading an entire page of text, only to discover when we got to the bottom of the page, we couldn’t say anything about it except that we had indeed “read” every word.
Once information has been recognized as meaningful, it is sent to short-term memory. In this case, short-term is approximately 20 seconds. While this may seem surprising, it can be easily demonstrated. If you were asked to dial an unfamiliar phone number, received a busy signal, and were then distracted by something or someone else for 15 to 20 seconds, chances are you would have forgotten the number at that point. Short-term memory is often referred to as “working” memory.
Most cognitive psychologists believe that the storage capacity of long-term memory is unlimited and contains  a  permanent  record  of  everything  an  individual  has learned  and  experienced.  Information  is encoded there to enhance its meaningfulness and organization so that it can be easily retrieved when necessary.
Question 36: What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how our memory processes information.
B. To describe the sensory register.
C. To explain why we sometimes forget information.
D. To compare short-term and long-term memory.
Question 37: The word “They” in paragraph 1 refers to__________.
A. psychologists                                         B. information    
C. memory structures                                 D. environmental stimuli
Question 38: The word “stimuli” in lines 5 and 7 is closest in meaning to __________.
A. objects or events that activate our memory.    
C. things that help us to later recall what happened.
B. objects we consider attractive.                          
D. situations in which we experience emotions.
Question 39: According to the passage, typists are unable to recall information they type if__________.
A. they are tired.
B. they are distracted by something or someone.
C. they have too much work to be able to process it all.
D. they do not recognize it as meaningful enough to remember.
Question 40: The word “minimal” in paragraph 2   is closest in meaning to_________.
A. very big           	B. very good         	C. very pretty        	D. very small
Question 41: According to the passage, which type of information is sent to short-term memory?
A. Information we need for three seconds or less.   
C. Information that is relevant to us.
B. Information that surprises us.                              
D. Environmental stimuli we do not perceive.
Question 42: It can be inferred that   short-term memory is called “working” memory because________.
A. we use it extensively when we are working.
B. it holds information we are working on at a given moment.
C. it is very difficult to use effectively.
D. we must work hard to retrieve information from it.
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.
	After the Anasazi abandoned southwestern Colorado in the late 1200s or early 1300s, history’s pages are blank. The Anasazi were masons and apartment builders who occupied the deserts, river valleys, and mesas of this region for over a thousand years, building structures that have weathered the test of time.
The first Europeans to visit southwestern Colorado were the ever-restless, ambitious Spanish, who sought gold, pelts, and slaves. In 1765, under orders from the Spanish governor in Santa Fe, Juan Maria Antonio Rivera led a prospecting and trading party into the region. Near the Dolores River in southwestern Colorado, he found some insignificant silver-bearing rocks, and it is thought that it was he who named the mountains nearby the Sierra de la Plata or the Silver Mountains. Rivera found little of commercial value that would  interest  his  superiors  in  Santa  Fe,  but  he  did  open  up  a  route  that  would  soon  lead  to  the establishment of the Old Spanish Trail. This expedition and others to follow left names on the land which are only reminders we have today that the Spanish once explored this region.
In 1776, one of the men who had accompanied Rivera, Andre Muniz, acted as a guide for another expedition. That party entered southwestern Colorado in search of a route west to California, traveling near today’s towns of Durango and Dolores. Along the way, they camped at the base of a large green mesa which today carries the name Mesa Verde. They were the first Europeans to record the discovery of an Anasazi archeological site in southwestern Colorado.
By the early 1800s, American mountain men and trappers were exploring the area in their quest for beaver pelts. Men like Peg-leg Smith were outfitted with supplies in the crossroads trapping town of Taos, New Mexico. These adventurous American trappers were a tough bunch. They, possibly more than any other newcomers, penetrated deeply into the mountain fastness of southwestern Colorado, bringing back valuable information about the area and discovering new routes through the mountains. One of the trappers, William Becknell, the father of the Santa Fe Trail, camped in the area of Mesa Verde, where he found pottery shards, stone houses, and other Anasazi remains.
