Hide Instructions Communication Skills Q:1 Next 5 questions belongs to this PASSAGE Comprehension Passage : The terms intelligence augmentation and intelligence amplification evoke images of human beings with computer chips embedded in their skulls or bizarre accoutrements attached to their heads. However, according to an article entitled Get Smart by Jamais Cascio, human beings ability to augment their intelligence is precisely the prowess which has empowered us to survive a series of convulsive glacial events evinced by the last ice age. Neurophysiologist William Calvin asserts that the human species continues to evolve cognitively and to create its own cognitive evolution in two basic ways: external and internal. Cascio states that humans have been externally augmenting their intelligence for millennia. By developing written language, we boosted our capacity to share information over space and time. Other advancements, such as agricultural and industrial technologies, reduced the exigencies of manual labour. Current external digital systems augment human intelligence by allowing us to perform tasks that would be unfeasible with recourse only to the rational skills of a singular human brain. Cascio cites as examples the powerful simulations and massive data sets (which) allow physicists to visualize, understand, and debate models of an 11dimension universe, realtime data from satellites, global environmental databases, and highresolution models (which) allow geophysicists to recognize the subtle signs of longterm changes to the planet, and similar manmade interactions which have the functional effect of augmenting human intelligence. Conceivable potential software could incorporate individual attention filters or focus assistants which would discern and highlight your individual preferences in a computer display, permitting you to focus and direct your computer searches more efficiently than you do now. It could incorporate individualized planning and foresight systems which could allow people to play whatif with their life choices. Such systems could coevolve with people to produce intimate technologies which would become something akin to collaborative intuition, through webbased information systems with personalized components, according to Cascio. Somewhat more problematic in social terms might be pharmacological intelligence augmentation, evoking Brave New World nightmares pharmaceutically placated people

tranquilized to zombielike subservience to the collective and a central bureaucracy dedicated to its own continued survival. However, as with external cognitive augmentation, the future has arrived in the form of, for example, ADD drugs, pharmaceutical agents which mitigate sleep disorders, and antidepressants, all of which enhance human problemsolving ability and cognitive efficiency. According to Cascio, people who dont know about (such drugs) or dont want to use them will face stiffer competition from people who do. From the perspective of a culture immersed in athletic doping wars, the use of such drugs may seem like cheating. From the perspective of those who find theyre much more productive using this form of enhancement, its no more cheating than getting a faster computer or a better education. Cognitive amplification, whether by external or internal means, may constitute evolution, if Calvins assertion is correct. Some societies may readily embrace it, while others may shy away. As science fiction writer William Gibson observes, The future is already here; its just unevenly distributed. Q : 1-1. The author is mainly concerned about Points : 1

various dangers of intelligence augmentation. the advantages of intelligence augmentation. the basic methods of intelligence augmentation. some scientists who are working on intelligence augmentation.

Q : 1-2. The authors use of the phrase somewhat more problematic in social terms refers to Points : 1 Passage

the difficulty of making cognitive enhancement widely available. the difficulty of making pharmacological enhancement socially acceptable. equalizing cognitive competitive advantages among social groups. bureaucracies which hamper cognitive enhancement activities.

Q : 1-3. The word placated most closely means Points : 1 Passage

deprived enhanced cured quieted

Q : 1-4. In the context of the passage, which of the following best articulates the authors opinion? Points : 1 Passage

Intelligence amplification by external means might be more difficult to achieve than by internal means. Cognitive augmentation does not really constitute evolution. Some people consider intelligence enhancement to be a form of cheating. External and internal intelligence enhancement might constitute evolution in cultures that accept them.

Q : 1-5. The primary purpose of the passage is to Points : 1 Passage

describe different kinds of intelligence enhancement. discuss societys reactions to pharmacological cognitive augmentation. examine the differences between external and internal intelligence enhancement. dispel misgivings about humanitys attempts at creating its own evolution.

Q : 5. The body of anyone infected by virus X will, after a week, produce antibodies to fight the virus; the antibodies will increase in number for the next year or so. There is now a test that reliably indicates how many antibodies are present in a person's body. If positive, this test can be used during the first year of infection to estimate to within a month how long that person has had the virus. Which one of the following conclusions is best supported by the statements above? Points : 1

Antibodies increase in number only until they have defeated the virus. Antibodies are produced only for viral infections that cannot be fought by any other body defenses. If a person remains infected by virus X indefinitely, there is no limit to the number of antibodies that can be present in the person's body. Anyone infected by virus X will for a time fail to exhibit infection if tested by the antibody test.

Pilots never fly under the influence of alcohol, while car drivers often do. Plane accidents are usually the fault of air traffic controllers, not pilots.
