ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER?

Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it.

IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?

Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being bom larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.

Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test takers didn't do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.

According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test, So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.

The Flynn effect must be the result of .................. .

A. heredity

B. our environment and experiences

C. taking fewer tests

D. memorizing information

Đáp án B

Thông tin: Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity.

Dịch nghĩa: Flynn biết ràng sự thông minh là một phần được di truyền từ bố mẹ và một phần là kết quả của môi trường và kinh nghiệm, nhưng sự cải thiện trong điểm kiểm tra đã đang xảy ra quá nhanh để có thể được giải thích bằng di truyền.

Nghĩa là yếu tố di truyền không đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc giải thích, từ đó Hiệu ứng Flynn hẳn là do yếu tố môi trường và kinh nghiệm. Phương án B. Our environment and experiences = môi trường và những kinh nghiệm của chúng ta là phương án chính xác nhất.

A. heredity (n) = sự di truyền.

c. taking fewer tests = làm ít bài kiểm tra hơn.

“Because we take so many tests, we leam test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test” = Bởi vì chúng ta làm quá nhiều bài kiểm tra, chúng ta học các kĩ thuật làm bài kiểm tra mà giúp chúng ta thể hiện tốt hơn trong bất kì bài kiểm tra nào.

Như vậy, Hiệu ứng Flynn phải là kết quả của việc làm nhiều bài kiểm tra hơn mới đúng.

D. memorizing iníbrmation = nhớ thông tin.

“Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to lcam by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information” = Một giải thích có khả năng khác là sự thay đổi trong phong cách giáo dục, với việc giáo viên khuyến khích trẻ con học bằng cách tự khám phá mọi thứ thay vì chỉ ghi nhớ thông tin.

Như vậy nghĩa là việc ghi nhớ thông tin không làm cho kết quả kiểm tra tăng lên, không dẫn đến Hiệu ứng Flynn.

Thông tin: people who have taken IQ tests have gotttn increasingly better scores-on average. three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”

Dịch nghĩa: những người đã làm bài kiểm tra trí tuệ đã đạt được điểm ngày càng cao hơn- trung bình, 3 điểm cao hơn cho mỗi thập kỉ qua đi. Sự cải thiện này được biết đến như là “Hiệu ứng Flynn“

Từ thông tin trên, phương án B. The Flynn effect is an increase in IQ test scores over time = Hiệu ứng Flynn là một sự tăng lên về điểm kiểm tra trí tuệ qua thời gian, là phương án chính xác nhất.

A. used to measure intelligent = được dùng để đo lường sự thông minh.

C. unknovvn in some parts of the world = không được biết tới ở một số nơi trên thế giới.

D. not connected to our experiences = không liên quan đến những kinh nghiệm của chúng ta.

“Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences” = Flynn biết ràng sự thông minh là một phần được di truyền từ bố mẹ và một phần là kết quả của môi trường và kinh nghiệm

ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER?

Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it.

So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.

Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?

A. People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way

Thông tin: According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.

Dịch nghĩa: Theo Flynn, loại thông minh hình ảnh này cải thiện khi lượng công nghệ trong cuộc sống chúng ta tăng lên.

Cuộc sống của chúng ta ngày càng được bao phủ bởi công nghệ, do đó ta ngày càng thông minh hình ảnh hơn. Phương án D. People today have more visual intelligence= Con người ngày nay có nhiều trí thông minh hình ảnh hơn, là phương án chính xác nhất.

A. People today are more intelligent than in the past in every way = Con người ngày nay thông minh hơn ngày xưa ở mọi khía cạnh.

“the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test” = sự cải thiện trong điểm số chỉ ở một số phần nhất định của bài kiểm tra IQ.

Do đó con người ngày nay chỉ thông minh hơn ở một số phần nhất định chứ không phải tất cả các mặt.

B. People today have fewer problems to solve = Con người ngày nay có ít vấn đề cần giải quyết hơn.

Không có thông tin như vậy trong bài.

C. People today are taking easier tests. = Con người ngày nay đang làm những bài kiểm tra dễ hơn.

Đáp án B

Thông tin: Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to leam by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information.

Dịch nghĩa: Một giải thích có khả năng khác là sự thay đổi trong phong cách giáo dục, với việc giáo viên khuyến khích trẻ con học bằng cách tự khám phá mọi thứ thay vì chỉ ghi nhớ thông tin.

Như vậy, các phương pháp giáo dục mới bao gồm việc trẻ con phải tự khám phá mọi thứ. Phương án B. children finding things out themselves là chính xác nhất.

A. exposure to many tests = sự tiếp xúc với nhiều bài thi.

“Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general” = Một số gợi ý rằng điểm kiểm tra cao hơn chỉ đơn giản phản ánh một sự tăng cường tiếp xúc với các bài thi.

Sự tiếp xúc với nhiều bài thi chỉ giải thích việc điểm cao hơn chứ không được nói là nằm trong phương pháp giáo dục mới.

C. memorizing information = ghi nhớ thông tin

Từ thông tin được giải thích, ta có thể hiểu phương pháp giáo dục cũ bao gồm ghi nhớ thông tin, nhưng phương pháp mới không như thế nữa.

D. improved test scores = điểm kiểm tra được cải thiện.

Đây là kết quả của việc áp dụng phương pháp giáo dục mới, chứ không nằm trong những phương pháp ấy.

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 from 36 to 42.

ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER?

Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores-on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it.

IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?

Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.

Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test takers didn't do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set.

According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.

A. exposure to many tests = sự tiếp xúc với nhiều bài thi.

Sự tiếp xúc với nhiều bài thi chỉ giải thích việc điểm cao hơn chứ không được nói là nằm trong phương pháp giáo dục mới.

C. memorizing information = ghi nhớ thông tin

D. improved test scores = điểm kiểm tra được cải thiện.

Đây là kết quả của việc áp dụng phương pháp giáo dục mới, chứ không nằm trong những phương pháp ấy.
