The usual western idea of marriage is that you meet someone, fall in love, and then decide to

marry each other For those born into some cultures, (34) , marriage may have quite a different meaning In an arranged marriage, it is the parents (35) choose the partner and it's possible for the young person to get married not to meet their future bride or groom in (36) until the day of the wedding Indeed, a young person might be promised to (37) as a child, many years before the wedding day Amongst communities that practice arranged marriage, it's not unusual for a generation gap to open up between parents and children, with many young people (38) to accept an arranged marriage However, if the partners treat each other with respect and recognize that they are both of equal value, there doesn't seem to be any real barrier to having a happy married life

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43

Dreaming, a popular activity not merely for humans, really does help us process our memories and come to terms with our daily lives That might sound uncontroversial but we have never had clear evidence that this is the case – until now Research on dreaming can raise the prospect of hacking our dreams to boost learning, memory and emotional well-being

A team of researchers has found that the emotional strength of the experiences we have when

we are awake is linked to the content of our dreams, and the intensity of our dreaming brainwaves The team asked 20 volunteer students to keep a detailed diary of their daily lives for 10 days,

logging the main things they had done, any personally significant events that had taken place, and

any major concerns or worries they had had Where appropriate, the students noted any accompanying emotion, and scored it for intensity

On the evening of the tenth day, the volunteers slept in the team’s dream lab while wearing an EEG cap that measured their brainwaves Each person was woken during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and if they had been dreaming, a report of the dream was recorded The team then compared the content of such dreams with the daily logs, looking for links

An additional result of the research is that events that had a higher emotional impact were more likely to become incorporated into a person’s dreams than blander, more neutral experiences Together, these findings suggest that the most intense dreaming activity occurs when our brains are working hard to process recent, emotionally powerful experiences

If dreams do act as a sort of overnight therapy to soothe the emotional impact of our experiences,

it raises the prospect of manipulating our sleeping brains to improve this process

Question 39: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about dreaming?

A Studying about dreams helps us improve our daily lives

B It is common knowledge that dreams relate to our memories

C Persuasive evidence about dreams and memories has recently been confirmed

D No other species but human beings dream when they are sleeping

Question 40: The result of the research shows that

A the more unforgettable our daily events are, the more powerful our dreams will be

B if we work hard during the day, there are more chances that we will have strange dreams

C the intensity of our brainwaves can tell us about the content of our dreams

D those who move their eyes rapidly when sleeping have more dreams than others

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50

Research has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in determining how well students do in school Curiosity also allows us to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, brings excitement into our lives, and opens up new possibilities Being curious requires us to be both humble enough to know we don’t have all the answers, and confident enough to admit it Asking the questions that help us bridge the gap between what we already know and what we’d like to know can lead us

to make unexpected discoveries In science, basic curiosity-driven research – conducted without pressure to produce immediate practical results – can have unexpected and incredibly important benefits

When we become curious, our brains release a chemical called dopamine, which makes the process of learning more pleasurable and improves memory It is still not known why learning gives

us such pleasure, but one theory is that we may have developed a basic need to fight uncertainty –

the more we understand about the world around us, the more likely we are to survive its many dangers!

However, curiosity is currently under threat like never before – and perhaps the biggest threat comes from technology On one level, this is because technology has become so sophisticated that

many of us are unable to think too deeply about how exactly things work anymore While it may be possible for a curious teenager to take a toaster apart and get some sense of how it works, how much

do you understand about what happens when you type a website address into a browser?

In addition to this, there’s the fact that we all now connect so deeply with technology, particularly with our phones The more we stare at our screens, the less we talk to other people directly To make matters worse, all too often we accept the images of people that social media provides us with, and

then feel we know enough about a person not to need to engage further with them

The final – and perhaps most worrying – way in which technology stops us from asking more has

to do with algorithms, the processes followed by computers As we increasingly get our news via social media, algorithms find out what we like and push more of the same back to us, meaning that

we end up inside our own little bubbles, no longer coming across ideas that challenge our pre-existing beliefs

(adapted from Dellar and Walkley, 2018)

B It’s more important than ever to make sure kids learn to be curious

C Social media doesn’t help us know people better

D We run the risk of becoming less curious if we’re not careful

Question 50: Which of the following statements do you think the writer would likely agree with?
