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 of the questions.

         Mr. Faugel was convinced that students’ nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group.

           Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.

Faugel’s research showed that beta blockers given to his sample _______.

A. increased scores the same as the national average.

B. decreased scores.

C. increased scores less than the national average.

D. increased scores much more than the national average.

Answer 1

Đáp án D

Nghiên cứu của Faugel cho thấy thuốc chẹn Beta được dùng trong thí nghiệm mẫu của ông ______

A. làm tăng điểm ngang mức trung bình toàn quốc.

B. làm giảm điểm.

C. làm tăng điểm ít hơn mức trung bình toàn quốc.

D. làm tăng điểm hơn mức trung bình toàn quốc.

Đoạn một có nói nhóm người dùng thuốc cải thiện điểm đáng kể, đồng thời cũng chỉ ra những người không dùng có mức cải thiện thấp, ngang với mức điểm tái kiểm tra trung bình toàn quốc. Như vậy, có thể thấy, thuốc chẹn có khả năng tăng mức điểm cao hơn nhiều so với mức trung bình toàn quốc
