Scientists scanning and mapping the Giza pyramids say they've discovered that the Great Pyramid

of

Giza

is

not

exactly

even.

But

really

not

by

much.

This

pyramid

is

the

oldest

of

the

world's

Seven Wonders. The pyramid's exact size has 26 experts for centuries, as the

used

a

new

measuring

approach

that

involved

finding any surviving 29 of the casing in order to determine where the original edge was. They

found the east side of the pyramid to be a 30 of 5.5 inches shorter than the west side.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each

statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which

the

information

is

derived.

You

may

choose

a

paragraph

more

than

once.

Each

paragraph

is

marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

Peer Pressure Has a Positive Side

A)

Parents

of

teenagers

often

view

their

children's

friends

with

something

like

suspicion.

They

worry

that

the

adolescent

peer

group

has

the

power

to

push

its

members

into

behavior

that

is

foolish and even dangerous. Such wariness is well founded: statistics show, for example, that a

teenage

driver

with

a

same-age

passenger

in

the

car

is

at

higher

risk

of

a

fatal

crash

than

an

adolescent driving alone or with an adult.

B)

In

a

2005

study,

psychologist

Laurence

Steinberg

of

Temple

University

and

his

co- author,

psychologist

Margo

Gardner,

then

at

Temple,

divided

306

people

into

three

age

groups:

young

adolescents, with a mean age of 14; older adolescents, with a mean age of 19; and adults, aged 24

and older. Subjects played a computerized driving game in which the player must avoid crashing

into a wall that materializes, without warning, on the roadway. Steinberg and Gardner randomly

assigned some participants to play alone or with two same-age peers looking on.

C) Older adolescents scored about 50 percent higher on an index of risky driving when their peers

were

in

the

room

—

and

the driving

of

early

adolescents

was

fully

twice

as

reckless

when

other

young teens were around. In contrast, adults behaved in similar ways regardless of whether they

were on their own or observed by others.

not adults, more likely to take risks,

D) Yet in the years following the publication of this study, Steinberg began to believe that this

interpretation

did

not

capture

the

whole

picture.

As

he

and

other

researchers

examined

the

question of why teens were more apt to take risks in the company of other teenagers, they came to

suspect

that

a

crowd's

influence need

not always

be

negative.

Now

some

experts

are

proposing

that we should take advantage of the teen brain's keen sensitivity to the presence of friends and

leverage it to improve education.

1 / 1

E) In a 2011 study, Steinberg and his colleagues turned to functional MRI (

磁共振

) to investigate

how the presence of peers affects the activity in the adolescent brain. They scanned the brains of

40

teens

and

adults

who

were

playing

a

virtual

driving

game

designed

to

test

whether

players

would brake at a yellow light or speed on through the crossroad.

F) The brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with

rewards

when

they

were

being

observed

by

same- age

peers

than

when

alone.

In

other

words,

rewards

are

more

intense

for

teens

when

they

are

with

peers,

which

motivates

them

to

pursue

higher-risk experiences that might bring a big payoff (such as the thrill of just making the light

before it turns red). But Steinberg suspected this tendency could also have its advantages. In his

latest experiment, published online in August, Steinberg and his colleagues used a computerized

version of a card game called the Iowa Gambling Task to investigate how the presence of peers

affects the way young people gather and apply information.

G) The results: Teens who played the Iowa Gambling Task under the eyes of fellow adolescents

engaged in more exploratory behavior, learned faster from both positive and negative outcomes,

and achieved better performance on the task than those who played in solitude.

suggests is that

teenagers learn more quickly and

more

effectively

when their peers are present

than

when

they're

on

their

own,

Steinberg

says.

And

this

finding

could

have

important

implications for how we think about educating adolescents.

H) Matthew D. Lieberman, a social cognitive neuroscientist at the University of California, Los

Angeles, and author of the 2013 book Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect, suspects

that the human brain is especially skillful at learning socially significant information. He points to

a classic 2004 study in which psychologists at Dartmouth College and Harvard University used

functional MRI to track brain activity in 17 young men as they listened to descriptions of people

while concentrating on either socially relevant cues (for example, trying to form an impression of

a person based on the description) or more socially neutral information (such as noting the order

of details in the description). The descriptions were the same in each condition, but people could

better remember these statements when given a social motivation.

I) The study also found that when subjects thought about and later recalled descriptions in terms of

their informational content, regions associated with factual memory, such as the medial temporal

lobe,

became

active.

But

thinking

about

or

remembering

descriptions

in

terms

of

their

social

meaning activated the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex

—

part of the brain's social network

—

even as

traditional

memory

regions

registered

low

levels

of

activity.

More

recently,

as

he

reported

in

a

2012 review, Lieberman has discovered that this region may be part of a distinct network involved

in socially motivated learning and memory. Such findings, he says, suggest that

be

called

on

to

process

and

store

the

kind

of

information

taught

in

school< /p>

—

potentially

giving

students access to a range of untapped mental powers.

J) If humans are generally geared to recall details about one another, this pattern is probably even

more powerful among teenagers who are very attentive

to social details: who is

in, who is out,

who likes whom, who is mad at whom. Their desire for social drama is not

or not only
