When teachers work in isolation, they tend to see the world through one set of eyes — their own. The fact that there might be someone somewhere in the same building or district who may be more successful at teaching this or that subject or lesson is (A) based / lost on teachers who close the door and work their way through the school calendar virtually alone. In the absence of a process that (B) allows / forbids them to benchmark those who do things better or at least differently, teachers are left with that one perspective — their own. I taught various subjects under the social studies umbrella and had very little idea of how my peers who taught the same subject did what they did. The idea of meeting regularly to compare notes, plan common assessments, and share what we did well (C) mostly / never occurred to us. Rather, we spent much time in the social studies office complaining about a lack of time and playing the blame game.

You can’t have a democracy if you can’t talk with your neighbors about matters of mutual interest or concern. Thomas Jefferson, who had an enduring interest in democracy, came to a similar conclusion. He was prescient in understanding the dangers of (A) concentrated / limited power, whether in corporations or in political leaders or exclusionary political institutions. Direct involvement of citizens was what had made the American Revolution possible and given the new republic vitality and hope for the future. Without that involvement, the republic would die. Eventually, he saw

a need for the nation to be (B) blended / subdivided into “wards” ― political units so small that everyone living there could participate directly in the political process. The representatives for each ward in the capital would have to be (C) resistant / responsive to citizens organized in this way. A vibrant democracy conducted locally would then provide the active basic unit for the democratic life of the republic. With that kind of involvement, the republic might survive and prosper.

In 2001, researchers at Wayne State University asked a group of college volunteers to exercise for twenty minutes at a (A) preset / self-selected pace on each of three machines: a treadmill, a stationary bike, and a stair climber. Measurements of heart rate, oxygen consumption, and perceived effort were taken throughout all three workouts. The researchers expected

to find that the subjects unconsciously targeted the same relative physiological intensity in each activity. Perhaps they would (B) automatically / intentionally exercise at 65 percent of their maximum heart rate regardless of which machine they were using. Or maybe they would

instinctively settle into rhythm at 70 percent of their maximum rate of oxygen consumption in all three workouts. But that’s not what happened. There was, in fact, no (C) consistency / variation in measurements of heart rate and oxygen consumption across the three disciplines. Instead, the subjects were found to have chosen the same level of perceived effort on the treadmill, the bike, and the stair climber.

The Atitlan Giant Grebe was a large, flightless bird that had evolved from the much more widespread and smaller Pied-billed Grebe. By 1965 there were only around 80 birds left on Lake Atitlan. One immediate reason was easy enough to spot: the local human population was cutting down the reed beds at a furious rate. This (A)

accommodation / destruction

was driven by the needs of a fast growing mat-making industry. But there were other problems. An American airline was intent on developing the lake as a tourist destination for fishermen. However, there was a major problem with this idea: the lake (B)

lacked / supported

any suitable sporting fish! To compensate for this rather obvious defect, a specially selected species of fish called the Large-mouthed Bass was introduced. The introduced individuals immediately turned their attentions to the crabs and small fish that lived in the lake, thus (C)

competing / cooperating

with the few remaining grebes for food. There is also little doubt that they sometimes gobbled up the zebra-striped Atitlan Giant Grebe’s chicks.

The desert locust lives in two remarkably different styles depending on the availability of food sources and the density of the local locust population. When food is scarce, as it usually is in their native desert habitat, locusts are born with coloring designed for camouflage and lead (A)

solitary / social

lives. But when rare periods of significant rain produce major vegetation growth, everything changes. At first, the locusts continue to be loners, just feasting off the (B)

insufficient / abundant

food supply. But as the extra vegetation starts to die off, the locusts find themselves crowded together. Suddenly, baby locusts are born with bright colors and a preference for company. Instead of avoiding one another and hiding from predators through camouflage and inactivity, these locusts gather in vast groups, feed together, and (C)

overwhelm / overestimate

their predators simply through numbers.

It is often believed that an active person can make friends more easily than a shy person, and that a conscientious person may meet more deadlines than a person who is not conscientious. Walter Mischel found, however, that the typical correlation between personality traits and behavior was quite (A)

apparent / modest

. This news was really shocking, because it essentially said that the traits personality psychologists were measuring were just slightly better at predicting behavior than astrological signs. Mischel did not simply point out the problem; he diagnosed the reasons for it. He argued that personality psychologists had (B)

overestimated / underestimated

the extent to which the social situation shapes people’s behavior, independently of their personality. To predict whether a person will meet a deadline, for example, knowing something about the situation may be more useful than knowing the person’s score on a measure of conscientiousness. Situational influences can be very powerful, sometimes (C)

emphasizing / overwhelming

individual differences in personality.

While the eye sees at the surface, the ear tends to penetrate below the surface. Joachim-Ernst Berendt points out that the ear is the only sense that (A) fuses / replaces an ability to measure with an ability to judge. We can discern different colors, but we can give a precise number to different sounds. Our eyes do not let us perceive with this kind of (B) diversity / precision . An unmusical person can recognize an octave and, perhaps once instructed, a quality of tone, that is, a C or an F-sharp. Berendt points out that there are few ‘acoustical illusions’ — something sounding like something that in fact it is not — while there are many optical illusions. The ears do not lie. The sense of hearing gives us a remarkable connection with the invisible, underlying order of things. Through our ears we gain access to vibration, which (C) underlies / undermines  everything around us. The sense of tone and music in another’s voice gives us an enormous amount of information about that person, about her stance toward life, about her intentions.

Although children watch television at various times, the programming that they view alone tends to be specifically aimed at children. In the United  States particularly, most of the advertising during this segment consists of ads for food, particularly sugared food. During the run-up to Christmas, (A) increasing / decreasing numbers of ads concern toys and games. Such practices are believed to put pressure on parents to yield to what the media have dubbed “pester power.” This has led to calls for legislation to (B)  promote / regulate advertising in Europe and the United States. Indeed,  the Swedish government has outlawed television advertising of products aimed at children under 12, and recently in the United States, 50 psychologists (C) rejected / signed a petition calling for a ban on the advertising of children’s goods.

Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness. Physicists have given a fully (A) qualitative / quantitative definition to entropy that allows  one  to describe something’s entropy by using a definite numerical value: larger numbers mean greater entropy, smaller numbers mean less entropy.  Although the details are a little complicated, this number, roughly speaking,  counts the possible rearrangements of the (B) concepts / ingredients in a given physical system that leave its overall appearance intact. When your desk is neat and clean, almost any arrangement — changing the order of the newspapers, books, or articles, moving the pens from their holders — will upset its highly ordered organization. This accounts for its having low entropy. On the contrary, when your desk is a mess, numerous rearrangements of the newspapers, articles, and junk mail will leave it a mess and therefore will not (C) disturb / maintain its overall look. This accounts for its having high entropy.

②	qualitative	……	ingredients	……	maintain
③	quantitative	……	ingredients	……	maintain

As we all know, it is not always easy to get work done at the office. There is (A) frequently / rarely quiet time during regular business hours to sit and concentrate. Office workers are regularly interrupted by ringing phones, impromptu meetings, and chattering coworkers. This can be as frustrating for an employee as it is for the employer who is paying for this nonproductive work time. Working at home can free you from these (B)  attractions / distractions , giving you long blocks of time to focus on your work. Although your home may present its own problems, too, there are ways to deal with them. Your productivity will certainly (C) decrease / increase, as will the quality of your work product. At the same time, you  will get to enjoy the personal satisfaction of focusing on your work  and  getting  it done.

England’s plan to establish colonies in North America, starting in the late sixteenth century, was founded on a (A) false / valid idea. It was generally assumed that Virginia, the region of the North American continent to which England laid claim, would have the same climate as the Mediterranean region of Europe, since it lay at similar latitudes. As a result, the English hoped that the American colonies, once established, would be able to supply Mediterranean goods such as olives and fruit and reduce England’s (B)  dependence / restriction on imports from continental Europe. One  prospectus claimed that the colonies would provide “the wines, fruit and salt of France and Spain ... the silks of Persia and Italy.” Similarly, (C)  abundant / scarce timber would do away with the need to import wood from Scandinavia.  In  short,  America  was  mistakenly expected to be a land of plenty that would quickly turn a profit.
