Part 2. Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. (24 points)
A NEUROSCIENTIST REVEALS HOW TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
In the last decade a revolution has occurred in the way that scientists think about the
brain. We now know that the decisions humans make can be traced to the firing patterns of
neurons in specific parts of the brain. These discoveries have led to the field known as
neuroeconomics, which studies the brain's secrets to success in an economic environment that
demands innovation and being able to do things differently from competitors .A brain that can
do this is an iconoclastic one. Briefly, an iconoclast is a person who does something that others say can't be done.
This definition implies that iconoclasts are different from other people, but more
precisely, it is their brains that are different in three distinct ways: perception, fear response,
and social intelligence. (0)_____A_____. Naysayers might suggest that the brain is irrelevant,
that thinking in an original, even revolutionary, way is more a matter of personality than brain
function. But the field of neuroeconomics was born out of the realization that the physical
workings of the brain place limitations on the way we make decisions. By understanding these
constraints, we begin to understand why some people march to a different drumbeat. Page 5 of 16
The first thing to realize is that the brain suffers from limited resources. It has a fixed
energy budget, about the same as a 40 watt light bulb, so it has evolved to work as efficiently as
possible. This is where most people are impeded from being an iconoclast. For example, when
confronted with information streaming from the eyes, the brain will interpret this information in
the quickest way possible. (1)__________. This happens all the time. The brain takes shortcuts
that work so well that we are hardly ever aware of them. We think our perceptions of the world
are real, but they are only biological and electrical rumblings. Perception is not simply a
product of what your eyes or ears transmit to your brain. More than the physical reality of
photons or sound waves, perception is a product of the brain.
Perception is central to iconoclasm. Iconoclasts see things differently to other people.
Their brains do not fall into efficiency pitfalls as much as the average person's brain.
Iconoclasts, either because they were born that way or through learning, have found ways to
work around the perceptual shortcuts that plague most people. Perception is not something that
is hardwired into the brain. It is a learned process, which is both a curse and an opportunity for
change. (2)________________. Everything the brain sees, hears, or touches has multiple
interpretations. The one that is ultimately chosen is simply the brain's best theory. In technical
terms, these conjectures have their basis in the statistical likelihood of one interpretation over
another and are heavily influenced by past experience and, importantly for potential
iconoclasts, what other people say.
The best way to see things differently to other people is to bombard the brain with things
it has never encountered before. Novelty releases the perceptual process from the chains of past
experience and forces the brain to make new judgments. Successful iconoclasts have an
extraordinary willingness to be exposed to what is fresh and different. Observation of
iconoclasts shows that they embrace novelty while most people avoid things that are different.
The problem with novelty, however, is that it tends to trigger the brain's fear system. Fear is a
major impediment to thinking like an iconoclast and stops the average person in his tracks.
There are many types of fear, but the two that inhibit iconoclastic thinking and people generally
find difficult to deal with are fear of uncertainty and fear of public ridicule. These may seem
like trivial phobias. But fear of public speaking, which everyone must do from time to time,
afflicts one-third of the population. (3)____________. It is simply a common variant of human
nature, one which iconoclasts do not let inhibit their reactions.
Finally, to be successful iconoclasts, individuals must sell their ideas to other people.
This is where social intelligence comes in. Social intelligence is the ability to understand and
manage people in a business setting. In the last decade there has been an explosion of
knowledge about the social brain and how the brain works when groups coordinate decision
making. Neuroscience has revealed which brain circuits are responsible for functions like
understanding what other people think, empathy, fairness, and social identity. (4)__________.
Perception is important in social cognition too. The perception of someone's enthusiasm, or
reputation, can make or break a deal. Understanding how perception becomes intertwined with
social decision making shows why successful iconoclasts are so rare.
Iconoclasts create new opportunities in every area from artistic expression to technology
to business. They supply creativity and innovation not easily accomplished by committees.
Rules aren't important to them. Iconoclasts face alienation and failure, but can also be a major
asset to any organization. It is crucial for success in any field to understand how the iconoclastic mind works. Questions 1 – 4
Choose the most suitable sentence from the list A – G for each gap from 1 – 4. There are
TWO extra sentences which you do NOT need to use. Page 6 of 16
There is an example that has been done for you. Example: (0). A
A. Each of these three functions utilizes a different circuit in the brain.
B. Thinking like an iconoclast is demanding because it requires both perceptual and social intelligence skills.
C. These brain regions play key roles in whether people convince others of their ideas.
D. The brain faces the fundamental problem of interpreting physical stimuli from the senses.
E. This makes it too common to be considered a mental disorder.
F. Thus it will draw on both past experience and any other source of information, such as what
other people say, to make sense of what it is seeing.

Part 3. Answer questions 1 – 8 by referring to the magazine article below, in which four
naturalists explain their choice of most inspiring book about the environment. Answer by
choosing from the four naturalists A – D. Some of the choices may be required more than
once. (16 points) NATURAL BOOKS
We invited four leading naturalists to tell us about the wildlife classic
that has influenced them most. A. Geoffrey Lean
At least it wasn’t hard to choose the author. As an environmental journalist, one
advantage of longevity is that I have had the chance to meet some of the giants who pioneered
thinking in the field. Of these, none stood, indeed, still stands, taller than a small, frail woman,
Barbara Ward. I can’t think of anyone else more at the heart of environmental issues in post-
war Europe. She has synthesized her experience of various environmental movements into her
own compelling philosophy. Unwillingly “volunteered” to cover the field, I found, as a young
journalist, that she, more than anyone, made it all make sense. Picking the book was much
harder. It could have been Only One Earth or Progress for a Small Planet. But despite its title
(which sounded old-fashioned, even in 1976), The Home of Man is, to me, Barbara’s most
important book. Its focus is on the explosive growth of the world’s cities, but its canvas is the
great themes to which she devoted her life. It is as eloquent and as impassioned a plea as exists
for what we would now call “sustainable human development”. In the hundreds of books I have
read since, I have yet to meet its equal. B. Linda Bennett
When I open the pages of Signals for Survival by Niko Tinbergen, I can hear the long
calls of herring gulls, recall the smell of the guano in the hot sun and visualize the general
hullabaloo of the colony. This book explains superbly, through words and pictures, the
fascinating world of animal communication. Read Signals for Survival and then watch any gull
colony, and the frenzy of activity changes from apparent chaos to a highly efficient social
structure. You can see which birds are partners, where the boundaries are and, later on in the
season, whole families can be recognized. A distinguished behaviorist, Niko Tinbergen came
from that rare breed of academics who wish to explain their findings to the layperson. His
collaboration in this book with one of this century’s most talented wildlife artists, Eric Ennion,
was inspirational and has produced a book of interest to anyone with a love of wildlife. His
spontaneous style of painting came from years of watching and understanding birds. With just a
minimal amount of line and color, he brings to life how one gull is an aggressor, how another
shows appeasement. This is the art of a true field naturalist. Page 8 of 16 C. Lee Durrell
Most definitely, My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell is the book that has
had the greatest influence on my life. Beyond the obvious reason that it ultimately led me to a
wonderful husband, and an exciting career in conservation, this extraordinary book once and
for all defined my devotion to the natural world. I was doing research work into animal
vocalizations in Madagascar when I first read the book. I had been there two years and was
discouraged by the number of setbacks I was encountering but when, at the end of the day, I
opened My Family and Other Animals to where I had left off the night before, the world
became a brighter place. Animals, people, joy and beauty inextricably woven together – a
microcosm of a world worth saving. Many people say that our species is the worst because of
the terrible things we have done to the others. But I like to think back to Gerald as a boy in My
Family and Other Animals, looking at the world’s inhabitants as a whole, a family whose
members, be they good, bad or indifferent, are nevertheless so intertwined as to be inseparable.
And that is a concept we all need to grasp. D. Bruce Pearson
A copy of The Shell Bird Book, by James Fisher, found its way into my school library
shortly after it was first published in 1966. I was drawn to it at once, especially to the 48 color
plates of birds by Eric Ennion, painted, as the jacket puts it,…with particular skill and charm. It
was those Ennion images which captured my attention. I already had copies of other bird books
and had spent several holidays learning to identify birds. They encouraged me to begin
sketching what I saw as an aid to identification. But in The Shell Bird Book there was so much
more to feast on. As well as the glorious Ennion paintings, there were chapters on migrants and
migration, a review of the history of birds in Britain, and best of all, a chapter on birds in
music, literature and art. It was the broad span of ornithological information and the exciting
images that steered me towards being more of a generalist in my appreciation of birds and the
natural world. The book made it clear that my emotional and creative response to nature was as
valid and as possible as a rational and scientific one. And, as art was a stronger subject for me
than maths or physics, I began to see a door opening for me. Which naturalist
1. says that the human race is often blamed for its destructive relationship with wildlife?
2. praises the author’s desire to make the work accessible to the non-specialist?
3. describes experiencing a change of mood when reading the book?
4. thinks the book encouraged greater optimism about a personal skill?
5. mentions an initial reluctance to become involved in investigating environmental issues?
6. has come into contact with many leading environmental figures through work?
7. first read the book at a time when experiencing problems?
8. says that no other book has proved to be as good as the one nominated? Your answers: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Page 9 of 16
IV. WRITING (60/200 points)
Part 1. Read the following extract and use your own words to summarize it. Your summary
should be about 120 words long. You MUST NOT copy the original. (15 points)
THE VARIOUS COMMUNICATIVE METHODS
practiced by animals in the wild
Communication is part of our everyday life. We greet one another, smile or frown,
depending on our moods. Animals too, communicate, much to our surprise. Just like us,
interaction among animals can be both verbal and non-verbal.
Singing is one way in which animals can interact with one another. Male blackbirds
often use their melodious songs to catch the attention of the females. These songs are usually
rich in notes variation, encoding various kinds of messages. Songs are also used to warn and
keep off other blackbirds from their territory, usually a place where they dwell and reproduce.
Large mammals in the oceans sing too, according to adventurous sailors. Enormous
whales groan and grunt while smaller dolphins and porpoises produce pings, whistles and
clicks. These sounds are surprisingly received by other mates as far as several hundred kilometers away.
Besides singing, body language also forms a large part of animals' communication
tactics. Dominant hyenas exhibit their power by raising the fur hackles on their necks and
shoulders, while the submissive ones normally "surrender" to the powerful parties by crouching
their heads low and curling their lips a little, revealing their teeth in friendly smiles.
Colors, which are most conspicuously found on animals, are also important means of
interaction among animals. Male birds of paradise, which have the gaudiest colored feathers,
hang themselves upside down from branches, among fluffing plumes, displaying proudly their
feathers, attracting the opposite sex.
The alternating black and white striped coats of zebras have their roles to play too. Each
zebra is born with a unique set of stripes which enables its mates to recognize them. When
grazing safely, their stripes are all lined up neatly so that none of them loses track of their
friends. However, when danger such as a hungry lion approaches, the zebras would dart out in
various directions, making it difficult for the lion to choose his target.
Insects such as the wasps, armed with poisonous bites or stings, normally have brightly
painted bodies to remind other predators of their power. Hoverflies and other harmless insects
also make use of this fact and colored their bodies brightly in attempts to fool their predators
into thinking that they are as dangerous and harmful as the wasps too. (374 words) Your answer:
