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.
How far back can you remember? Really think about it. What is your earliest memory? Perhaps images of a
birthday party come to mind, or of a long-ago family vacation. Now think about how old you were when the
event occurred. Chances are that those early memories extend no further back than your third birthday. And
although conversations with family members or photo albums may trigger more, the fact is that you can
probably only come up with a handful of memories from between the ages of three and seven.
Anything earlier than about 3.5 years is, for most people, a blank slate. Most of us have what the psychologist
Sigmund Freud first called childhood amnesia - an inability to remember our earliest childhood experiences.
Or do we?
As science continues to reveal more and more about the mysteries of the brain, the question of just how far
back we truly can remember and how those memories affect us as adults is coming into the spotlight. Every
emotionally meaningful experience-whether joyous or painful-is stored in memory and seems to have a
lasting impact. The way our world feels to us as babies influences our developing personality, emotions, and
relationships for the long term.
Aside from the childhood stories we can remember, there are many different kinds of "memory." And we
probably "remember" a lot more than we realize. For example, we all know the terms short-term memory and
long-term memory. But have you heard the terms explicit memory and implicit memory?
Explicit memory is the kind of memory that is conscious and gives us the ability to tell a story that makes
sense of what happened. This type of memory only develops fully in most people around the age of three.
Implicit memory is available in our brain from birth, or possibly even earlier. Implicit memory is unconscious.
So, while we may not remember the events of those earliest memories they have left a lasting impression on
our thinking, feeling, and behavior.
Because of the ability our brain has to store and hold information from an extremely early age, psychologists
today are stressing more and more the importance of creating positive early childhood memories. While a
child may not “remember" images from infancy, psychologists agree that the images stick with us and form
the basis of many of our future feelings and opinions.
Just as we might not remember learning to walk, even though our legs and feet seemed to do this perfectly
now, some of our most important lessons in human relations were learned at a time that our bodies, but not
our minds, can remember.

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.
Reading the news these days is often a depressing and anxiety inducing task. Mass shooting pipe bombs,
assassinations, and - over it all - climate change haunt the discussion. The sources of these modern human
malignancies are generally the same: male leaders who want to maintain economic, political, and religious
power no matter the cost. It begs the question: Might women rule differently from men?
Cognitive scientists know that the female brain is different from the male. Women are less likely to commit
mass murder, less inclined to start a war, more likely to be in touch with and express their emotions, and
more interested nuance, rather than decisiveness.
History shows that the Egyptians knew that women ruled differently from men. And so they used them to
protect the patriarchy, to act as stopgaps, placeholders, until the next man could fill the top spot on the social
pyramid. But no matter how much power they held, even though many of them were called nothing less than
King, these formidable women of ancient Egypt were not able to transcend the patriarchal agenda and change
the system itself. When their reigns ended, the masculine Egyptian power structure remained intact.
These queens call out from the past, challenging us to place women into political power, not as
representatives of a patriarchal dynasty, but as women who serve their own, different agendas of social
connection and emotional cohesion, instead of aping the aggression of their fathers, brothers, and sons.
Question 44: According to the passage, what do male leaders want to control?
A. politics B. employment C. weapons D. wars
Question 45: The word "inclined" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. reluctant B. opposed C. slow D. willing
Question 46: What is the passage mainly about?
A. gender differences B. female leading
C. Egyptian queens D. an uncertain world
Question 47: The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to _______.
A. Egyptians B. women C. emotions D. men
Question 48: Which of the following is NOT true about the Egyptian female leaders?
A. They had real power when they were leaders.
B. They totally changed the system of Egyptian patriarchy.
C. They were sometimes more favourable than male ones.
D. They held the positions which were equal to male leaders.
Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word those underlined part differs from
the other three in pronunciation in each of the following questions.
Question 49: A. passed B. touched C. realized D. wished
Question 50: A. marriage B. massage C. shortage D. language
