 The three phrases of the human memory are the sensory memory, the short-term memory, and the long-term memory. This division of the memory into phrases is based on the length of time of the memory.
 Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the short-term memory.
 Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you keep repeating it. Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory.
 Long-term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years. Information can be added to your long-term memory when you actively try to put it there through memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own.
Question 36: The best title for this passage would be ________.
	A. The difference between sensory and short-term memory.
B. How long it takes to memorize.
	C. The stages of human memory.
	D. Human phrases.
Question 37: The three phrases of memory discussed in this passage are differentiated according to ________.
	A. the location in the brain
	B. the period of time it takes to remember something
	C. how the senses are involved in the memory
	D. how long the memory lasts

	A. is on top of	 B. is at the foot of	 C. depends on	D. is below
Question 39: According to the passage, which type of memory is the shortest ?
	A. Sensory memory	 B. Active memory

	C. After you have repeated it many times D. When it has moved into long-term memory

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.
 Experts in climatology and other scientists are becoming extremely concerned about the changes to our climate which are taking place. Admittedly, climate changes have occurred on our planet before. For example, there have been several ice ages or glacial periods.
	These climatic changes, however, were different from the modern ones in that they occurred gradually and, as far as we know, naturally. The changes currently being monitored are said to be the result not of natural causes, but of human activity. Furthermore, the rate of change is becoming alarmingly rapid.
	The major problem is that the planet appears to be warming up. According to some experts, this warming process, known as global warming, is occurring at a rate unprecedented in the last 10,000 years. The implications for the planet are very serious. Rising global temperatures could give rise to such ecological disasters as extremely high increases in the incidence of flooding and droughts. These in turn could have a harmful effect on agriculture.
	It is thought that this unusual warming of the Earth has been caused by so-called greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, being emitted into the atmosphere by car engines and modern industrial processes, for example. Such gases not only add to the pollution of the atmosphere, but also create a greenhouse effect, by which the heat of the sun is trapped. This leads to the warming up of the planet.
	Politicians are also concerned about climate change and there are now regular summits on the subject, attended by representatives from around 180 of the world’s industrialized countries. Of these summits, the most important took place in Kyoto in Japan in 1997. There it was agreed that the most industrialized countries would try to reduce the volume of greenhouse gas emissions and were given targets for this reduction of emissions.
	It was also suggested that more forests should be planted to create so-called sinks to absorb greenhouse gases. At least part of the problem of rapid climate change has been caused by too drastic deforestation.
	Sadly, the targets are not being met. Even more sadly, global warnings about climate changes are often still being regarded as scaremongering.
Question 43: According to the passage, in what way did the climate changes in the ice ages differ from the modern ones?
A. They occurred naturally over a long period of time
B. They were partly intended.
C. They were wholly the result of human activity.
D. They were fully monitored by humans.
Question 44: The word “alarmingly” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
disapprovingly	B. disappointingly	C. surprisingly	D. worryingly	
Question 45: According to the passage, agriculture could ________.
make the global warming more serious
be indirectly affected by the global temperature rises
give rise to many ecological disasters

Question 46: Greenhouse gases cause the warming up of the Earth because they ________.
	A.are emitted by car engines	B. trap heat from the sun
	C.do not add to atmosphere pollution	D. are unusual gases 
Question 47: According to the passage, 1997 witnessed ________.
the largest number of summits on the subject of climate change
the most important summit on climate change taking place in Kyoto, Japan
the highest attendance by representatives from 180 industrialized countries
widespread concern about climate change
Question 48: It can be inferred from the passage that the countries which are mainly responsible for global warming are
 __________.
	A. countries with the warmest climate	B. developing countries
	C. developed countries	D. the most industrialized countries
Question 49: The word “There” in paragraph 5 refers to ________.
	A. the world’s industrialized countries	B. regular summits on climate change
	C. the most industrialized countries	D. the 1997 summit in Kyoto, Japan
Question 50: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
Carbon dioxide is one of the gases that may cause the so-called greenhouse effect.
The so-called sinks created by forests can absorb greenhouse gases.
The problem of rapid climate change has been caused mainly by deforestation.
Politicians are among those who are concerned about climate change.
