Question

Read the following passage, and mark the letter (A, B, C or D) on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each question.

Human memory, formerly believed to be rather inefficient, is really more sophisticated than that of a computer. Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of points of view have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally supposed. Dr. Wilder Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgeon, proved that by stimulating their brains electrically, he could elicit the total recall of specific events in his subjects’ lives. Even dreams and other minor events supposedly forgotten for many years suddenly emerged in detail.

The memory trace is the term for whatever is the internal representation of the specific information about the event stored in the memory. Assumed to have been made by structural changes in the brain, the memory trace is not subject to direct observation but is rather a theoretical construct that we use to speculate about how information presented at a particular time can cause performance at a later time. Most theories include the strength of the memory trace as a variable in the degree of learning, retention, and retrieval possible for a memory. One theory is that the fantastic capacity for storage in the brain is the result of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections between brain cells, stimulated by patterns of activity. Repeated references to the same information support recall. Or, to say that another way, improved performance is the result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory.

According the passage, researchers have concluded that...................... 

A. the mind has a much greater capacity for memory than was previously believed 

B. the physical basis for memory is clear

C. different points of view are valuable 

D. human memory is inefficient

Answer 1

A

Theo bài đọc, các nhà khoa học đã kết luận rằng...............

A. đầu óc có dung tích bộ nhớ lớn hơn so với trước đây

B. cấu tạo vật lý của bộ nhớ rất rõ ràng

C. những quan điểm khác nhau rất có giá trị

D. bộ nhớ của cong người thì không hiệu quả

Dẫn chứng: Researchers approaching the problem from a variety of points of view have all concluded that there is a great deal more stored in our minds than has been generally supposed.
