spoon'; or the pop lyric — all contribute, are all as valid as the (55) _______ (TORTURE)

YOUNG PEOPLE AND TECHNOLOGY
Danah Boyd is a specialist researcher looking at how young people use technology
If there's one cliche that really grates with Danah Boyd, who has made a career from studying the
way younger people use the web, it's that of the digital native. There's nothing native about
young people's engagement with technology,' she says, adamantly. She has little time for the
widely held assumption that kids are innately more adept at coping with the web or negotiating
the hurdles of digital life. 'Young people are learning about the social world around them,' she
says. Today that world has computer-mediated communications. Thus, in order to learn about
their social world, they're learning about those things too. And they're leveraging that to work out
the stuff that kids have always worked out: peer sociality, status, etc.'
It's no surprise she takes exception, really: as one of the first digital anthropologists to dig into
the way people use social networking sites, Boyd has a track record of exposing the truths that
underpin many of our assumptions about the online world. Along the way, she's gained insights
into the social web - not just by conducting studies of how many kids were using social-
networking sites, but by taking a closer look at what was going on.
Lately, her work has been about explaining new ways of interpreting the behaviour we see
online, and understanding that the context of online activity is often more subtle than we first
imagine. She outlined some examples at a recent conference in San Francisco, including the case
of a young man from one of the poorest districts of Los Angeles who was applying to a
prestigious American college. The applicant said he wanted to escape the influence of gangs and
violence, but the admissions officer was appalled when he discovered that the boy's MySpace
page was plastered with precisely the violent language and gang imagery he claimed to abhor.
Why was he lying about his motivations, asked the university? 'He wasn't,' says Boyd: in his
world, showing the right images online was a key part of surviving daily life.
Understanding what's happening online is especially pertinent while discussions rage about how
perceptions of privacy are shifting - particularly the idea that today's teenagers have a vastly
different approach to privacy from their predecessors. Instead, Boyd says: ‘Activities that strike
adults as radically new are often more easily understood from the perspective of teenagers. [A]
Kids often don't have the kind of privacy adults assume they do. [B] Adults, by and large, think
of the home as a very private space. [C] The thing is, for young people that's often not the case
because they have little or no control over who has access to it, or under what conditions. [D] As
a result, the online world can feel more private because it feels like there's more control."'
This concept of control is central to Boyd's work, and it applies not only to debunking myths
about teenage behaviour, but also to similar ideas that have emerged about the rest of the web.
Unlike some prognosticators who preach unstoppable revolution, Boyd suggests that control
remains, by and large, in the same places it always did. 'Technologists all go for the notion of
"techno-utopia", the web as great democratiser,' she says. 'Sure, we've made creation and 14
distribution more available to anyone, but at the same time we've made those things irrelevant.
Now the commodity isn't distribution, it's attention and guess what? We're not actually
democratising the whole system - we're just shifting the way in which we discriminate."
It's a call to arms that most academic researchers would tend to sidestep, but then Boyd admits to
treading a fine line between academic and activist. After all, she adds, part of her purpose is to
look at the very questions that make us feel uncomfortable. 'Part of it is that as a researcher,
everybody's obsessed with Twitter and Facebook, and we've got amateur research all over the
place,' she says. "Plenty of scholars are jumping in and looking at very specific things. The
questions I continue to want to ask are the things that are challenging to me: having to sit down
and be forced to think about uncomfortable social stuff, and it's really hard to get my head around
it, which means it's exactly what I should dive in and deal with."
76. What point does Danah Boyd make about ‘computer-mediated communications’?
A. They set out to teach the young about social interaction.
B. They are an integral part of a young person’s social interaction.
C. They act as a barrier to wider social interaction amongst young people.
D. They take the place of other sorts of social interaction for young people.
77. In the second paragraph, what do we learn about Danah’s research into social networking sites?
A. It has largely sought to account for their rapid growth.
B. It has tended to question people’s attitudes towards them.
C. It has taken the form of in-depth studies into how they are designed.
D. It has begun to investigate whether they are as influential as people think.
78. What point does Danah’s example of the Los Angeles college applicant illustrate?
A. how easy it is to misinterpret an individual’s online activity
B. how readily somebody’s online activity can be investigated
C. what their online activity can tell us about a person’s sincerity
D. how important it is to check the content of someone’s online activity

A. today’s teenagers are less concerned about privacy than previous generations
B. teenagers value the idea of privacy more in a domestic environment
C. teenagers’ attitudes to privacy are changing less than people think

B. people have unrealistic expectations about the influence of the web
C. control of the web remains in much the same hands as before
D. the web has a largely positive effect on many people’s lives

Part 4. Read the following text and answer questions 86-95. (10 points) VANISHED
Who pulled the plug on the Mediterranean? And could it happen again?
By Douglas Mclnrris Cannes. Monte Carlo. St Tropez. Magic names all. And much of the
enchantment comes from the deep blue water that laps their shores. But what if somebody pulled
the plug? Suppose The Mediterranean Sea was to vanish, leaving behind an expanse of the salt
desert the size of India. Hard to imagine? It happened.
‘It would have looked like Death Valley,’ says Bill Ryan, from the Lamont-Doherty Earth in
Observatory in New York, one of the leaders of the team that discovered the Mediterranean had
once dried up, then refilled in a deluge of Biblical proportions. Between five and six million
years ago, the great desiccation touched off what scientists call the Messinian Salinity Crisis – a
global chemical imbalance that triggered a wrenching series of extinctions and plunged the Earth into an ice age.
The first indications of some extraordinary past events came in the 1960s when geologists
discovered that major rivers flowing into the Mediterranean had eroded deep canyons in the rock
at the bottom of the sea. River erosion of bedrock cannot occur below sea level, yet somehow the
River Rhone in the South of France had managed to create a channel 1000 meters deep in the
seafloor, while the Nile had cut nearly 1500 meters into the rock off the North African coast.
There was more: despite the fact that the formation of caves can only take place above water,
scientists so discovered a whole network beneath the island of Malta that reached an astonishing
depth of 2000 meters below sea level. 14
Further evidence came to light in 1970 when an international team chugged across the
Mediterranean in a drilling ship to study the seafloor near the Spanish island of Majorca. Strange
things started turning up in core samples: layers of microscopic plants and soil sandwiched
between beds of salt more than two kilometers below today’s sea level. The plants had grown in
sunlight. Also discovered inside the rock were fossilized shallow-water shellfish, together with
salt and silt: particles of sand and mud that had once been carried by river water. Could the
seafloor once have been near a shoreline?
That question led Ryan and his fellow team leader, Kenneth Hsu, to piece together a staggering
chain of events, About 5.8 million years ago, they concluded, the Mediterranean was gradually
cut off from the Atlantic Ocean when continental drift pinned Morocco against Spain. As the
opening became both narrower and shallower, the deep outward flow from sea to the ocean was
progressively cutoff, leaving only the shallow inward flow of ocean water into the
Mediterranean. As this water evaporated, the sea became more saline and creatures that couldn’t
handle the rising salt content perished. ‘The sea’s interior was dead as a doornail, except for
bacteria,’ says Ryan. When the shallow opening at Gibraltar finally closed completely, the
Mediterranean, with only rivers to feed it, dried up and died.
Meanwhile, the evaporated water was falling back to Earth as rain. When the fresh water reached
the oceans, it made them less saline. With less salt in it to act as an antifreeze, parts of the ocean
that would not normally freeze began to turn to ice. ‘The ice reflects sunlight into space,’ says
Ryan. ‘The planet cools. Do you drive yourself into an ice age?
Eventually; a small breach in the Gibraltar dam sent the process into reverse. Ocean water cut a
tiny channel to the Mediterranean. As the gap enlarged, the water flowed faster and faster; until
the torrent ripped through the emerging Straits of Gibraltar at more than 100 knots. *The
Gibraltar Falls was 100 times bigger than Victoria Falls and a thousand times grander than
Niagara,’ Hsu wrote in his book The Mediterranean was a Desert (Princeton University Press, 1983).
In the end, the rising waters of the vast inland sea drowned the falls and warm water began to
escape to the Atlantic, reheating the oceans and the planet. The salinity crisis ended at about 5.4
million years ago. It had lasted roughly 400,000 years. Subsequent drilling expeditions have
added a few wrinkles to Ryan and Hsu’s scenario. For example, researchers have found salt
deposits more than two kilometers thick — so thick, some believe, that the Mediterranean must
have dried up and refilled many times. But those are just geological details. For tourists, the
crucial question is, could it happen again? Should Malaga start stockpiling dynamite?
Not yet, says Ryan. If continental drift does reseal the Mediterranean, it won’t be for several
million years. ‘Some future creatures may face the issue of how to respond to nature‘s closure.
It’s not something our species has to worry about.’

from the passage for each blank. Write your answers in the space provided.
The 1960s discovery of (86) ______ in the bedrock of the Mediterranean, as well as deep

Part 5. Read the following text and answer questions 96-105. (15 points) SIX TO WATCH A. Yasmin Shahmir - singer
'I was so excited. I felt euphoric, says Yasmin having heard her first single being played.
After five years spent DJing, this is one milestone the 22-year-old will never forget. The
feline-eyed singer cuts a striking figure and you sense she was not destined to stay behind
the decks forever. 'The song is about a time in my life when I was really going out on a limb
- I'd quit my university course and moved to London where I was up for whatever life
threw at me. At school I'd never been like the others - I'm half-Iranian, half-English and
have a weird name. So I stood out a bit - maybe that's where my determined attitude comes from. B. Emma Hart - video artist
Emma Hart is tipped as 'one-to-watch'. Her output consists of video works, lectures and
performances that challenge the way photographs and film are received. They make witty
observations about everyday situations and ask the viewer to be active and questioning.
'The focus, she says, 'is on how I use the camera, not on what I'm filming. Recognition has
been hard won. She worked first as a 'frustrated' office clerk. Bitten by the photography
bug, she began a degree course but, constantly getting marked down on technical issues,
dropped out. However, the criticism received was probably the making of her - it helped
consolidate her artistic ideas, and made her more determined. It paid off in the end.
C. Danielle Hope - actor 14
'I'm 18, I'm a leading lady and a singer. I mean, who'd have thought it?' Danielle's life has
undergone a considerable change - last year she was working as a waitress and thinking
about applying to drama school. Instead, she auditioned on a whim and beat 9,000 hopefuls
to win the lead role in a forthcoming musical. She seems remarkably unfazed by the task
ahead. 'I don't want to let anyone down. It's self-pressure more than anything. Of course
some will like my performance, some will hate it. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I
won't take it to heart- they won't be criticising me the person, but me the actress. It's all
been so exciting - I've no idea what's going to be next!
D. Eudon Choi - fashion designer
Eudon Choi trained as a menswear designer in South Korea and has always enjoyed the
support of his family. After moving to London he won a prestigious award and his collection
is soon to be stocked in 'Brown's Focus', an influential fashion boutique. For all the
accolades, Eudon is surprisingly diffident. Is it a strain living up to all the hype? 'You can say
that again. For a relatively new designer, it's a great start. His inspiration comes from
eclectic sources - he trawls vintage shops for military jackets and has, in the past, taken the
aesthetic of the industrial revolution as his model. Now his clothes are acclaimed by fashion
editors and worn by celebrities.
E. Andrew Sheridan - playwright
Andrew Sheridan's debut play is soon to open in Manchester. It has already been described
as 'the best first play' by one of a group of leading young playwrights, the friends who
initially pushed him into writing. It will be judged by the actors too, well known to Sheridan
after a decade performing on stage and screen, and by his family. His family's reaction
concerns him - none of them has ever had anything to do with the theatre and they haven't
read his play. A desire to delve into 'what it is to be human' primarily drives his family find it all a bit weird?
F. Andrew Sheridan - playwright
Sunjeev studied maths at university and didn't catch the reading bug until relatively late -
he didn't read a novel until he was 18. Now, after eleven years spent 'catching-up', with his
own first novel just published, he talks with the air of someone with a lifetime's reading
behind him. It took him four years to write, working in the evenings and at weekends, but
he didn't really expect to get it published - 'It was just maybe, maybe. Now that it's out, he
feels good. 'My friends aren't readers. They're just normal lads. But they've all bought the
book. I'm anxious, slightly, and proud!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV. WRITING (60 points)
Part 1. Read the following passage and write a summary of about 100 words.
Our daily lives are largely made up of contacts with other people, during which we are constantly
making judgments of their personalities and accommodating our behaviour to them in accordance
with these judgments. A casual meeting of neighbours on the street, an employer giving
instructions to an employee, a mother telling her children how to behave, a journey in a train
where strangers eye one another without exchanging a word – all these involve mutual
interpretations of personal qualities.
Success in many vocations largely depends on skill in sizing up people. It is important not only to
such professionals as the clinical psychologist, the psychiatrist or the social worker, but also to 14
the doctor or lawyer in dealing with their clients, the businessman trying to outwit his rivals, the
salesman with potential customers, the teacher with his pupils, not to speak of the pupils judging
their teacher. Social life, indeed, would be impossible if we did not. to some extent, understand,
and react to the motives and qualities of those we meet; and clearly we are sufficiently accurate
for most practical purposes, although we also recognize that misinterpretations easily arise –
particularly on the pare of others who judge us!
Errors can often be corrected as we go along. But whenever we are pinned down to a definite
decision about a person, which cannot easily be revised through his ‘feed-back’, the inadequacies
of our judgments become apparent. The hostess who wrongly thinks that the Smiths and the
Joneses will get on well together can do little to retrieve the success of her party. A school or a
business may be saddled for years with an undesirable member of staff, because the selection
committee which interviewed him for a quarter of an hour misjudged his personality.
Just because the process is so familiar and taken for granted, it has aroused little scientific
curiosity until recently. Dramatists, writers and artists throughout the centuries have excelled in
the portrayal of character, but have seldom stopped to ask how they, or we, get to know people,
or how accurate is our knowledge. However, the popularity of such unscientific systems as
Lavater’s physiognomy in the eighteenth century, Gall’s phrenology in the nineteenth, and of
handwriting interpretations by graphologists, or palm-readings by Gypsies, show that people are
aware of weaknesses in their judgments and desirous of better methods of diagnosis. It is natural
that they should turn to psychology for help, in the belief that psychologists are specialists in ‘human nature’.
