Part 2. For the questions 66-75. Read the following passage and circle the best answer to each of the following questions. (2 points)

There are people in this world who are innately possessed of an ability to remember things with quite an extraordinary degree of detail and exactness. These super memorisers, as they are known, typically possess a brain naturally and distinctively wired to maximize its memorizing potential. They are gifted such that they require no particular training or effort to sharpen their memories; they remember things just as effortlessly as most people forget them. Few of us are born with such gifts, sadly, but there is much cause for optimism yet for those looking to improve their brain’s performance tangibly in this area; a fact which Boris Konrad is testament to.

Konrad is a champion memoriser who, in winning gold in the German Memory Championships one year recognized and recalled the names of 195 people in just fifteen minutes. [■] His powers of recollection, then, are as admirable as they are undisputed, but Konrad is self-trained and started out with a recall capacity that was unremarkable.

[■] Instead, he spent years developing memory strategies and employing those strategies to improve in the area through practice and dedication. [■] He, then, is a living proof that the average Joe with a gift for forgetfulness can reinvent  himself in the area. [■] However, his example is as much a reminder of the extent of devotion that is required to reach this level as it is of the possibilities if one is prepared to put in the effort, and there are not many people prepared to expend a similar level of effort to this end, which is what really makes Konrad unique.

That said, whilst you may not become a super memoriser overnight, new research suggests that it is possible to tangibly improve your memory in a relatively short space of time by devoting roughly half an hour of your every day to the process. It is necessary to learn and employ memorizing strategies such as the Memory Palace technique Konrad uses, though, to yield such results; otherwise, you might be as well be doing something else. In one recent study, for example, participants spent one month training their memories in the aforementioned technique for 30 minutes every day, which more than doubled their ability to remember list of information after just 40 days. More impressively, recall performance remained high whether or not training continued at the end of one month, which suggests after rewiring of the brain can be permanent.

Even innately gifted memorisers use such mnemonic techniques to enhance their recall ability, and, of the recall methods which exist, the methods of loci, which has already been referred to here as the Memory Palace method, is the most prevalent one adopted as revealed by a recent study of 35 memory champions. Indeed, at a more rudimentary level, this method has been employed by orators and others required to remember long strings of interconnected information for some time, and it actually dates back to Ancient Greece, where it was first conceived of, remaining prevalent right through to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It is only a new method then, today, in the sense that the skill had been lost as such to most people for a very long time. Indeed, many of today’s super memorisers employed it intuitively rather than in a conscious effort to enhance their recall powers.

Participants in the study was separated into three distinct groups, with one group receiving no memory training whatsoever and making no notable recall gains during the process. The second group dedicated time and effort to upping their recall capacity, but employed an everyday technique. However, those using the Memory Palace technique more than doubled their initial recall capacity by the process’s end. What’s more, their brain functions actually changed and their brain patterns began to bear more of a likeness to those of innate super memorisers, leading researchers to speculate that a total rewire might well be possible over time, such that a normal individual’s recall capacity could match that of any memory champion. The conclusion, therefore, was that memory is not necessarily an innately bestowed gift you either are possessed of or not. Most of us have the potential to hone and expand our memories very meaningfully indeed.

Question 66. According to the first paragraph, people with marvelous power of retention usually _______ .

2. To demonstrate the disparity between laymen and super memorisers
3. To prove that almost every individual can make a significant enhancement in their retention powers
4. To show how even innate super memorisers have to exert themselves

Question 68. What does the writer mean in the phrase ‘you might as well be doing something else’ in paragraph three?

1. It is futile to invest time in improving recall capacity.
2. People should concentrate on their strengths.
3. The Memory Palace technique is not universally suitable.
4. Progress is only visible if you train in the right way.

Question 69. What did the study mentioned in the third paragraph conclude? 

1. The implication of moderate brain exercises can be enduring.
2. The maintenance of a decent recall capacity requires continuous training.
3. Your recall ability can more than double within one month.
4. Progress is only noticeable with at least 30 minutes spent on brain training.

Question 70. What do we learn about the method of loci?

1. It is superior to the Memory Palace method.
2. Most skillful memorisers purposefully adopt it.
3. It has evolved from methods first employed in Ancient Greece.
4. It has been widely used among super memorisers.

Question 71. What did the results of the study mentioned in the final paragraph reveal? 

1. How the brains of super memorisers function is inimitable.
2. The application of appropriate technique exerts a tremendous influence on the brain.
3. Memory training is futile unless employing a confirmed technique.

Answers Underground

Burying greenhouse gases to slow global warming

One way to stow global warming is to take the greenhouse gases that cause it and bury them. That is the idea behind projects now under way to capture emissions from power plants and factories and force them underground or deep into the ocean. There, proponents argue, they could be trapped for thousands of years. 

This concept, known as carbon sequestration, is already being used by oil companies to improve the efficiency of oil wells, and now engineers have begun exploring ways to capture carbon dioxide emissions from power plants to reduce their impact on the environment. At a recent conference, delegates from fourteen industrialised and developing countries agreed to engage in cooperative research into capturing and storing carbon dioxide.  

C.

The goal is to stabilise emissions of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere. Over the past century, airborne carbon dioxide concentrations have risen by nearly a third, according to Scott Klara, sequestration manager at the US National Energy Technology Laboratory. Unless emissions are slashed by two thirds worldwide, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that concentrations will rise to double the levels of the early 1700s, before the Industrial Revolution. These increased levels of carbon-based compounds in the atmosphere are believed to be the cause of rising temperatures and sea levels around the world. Ignoring the problem is therefore not an option. 

Limiting emissions, however, is not an easy undertaking since increased energy consumption is a key to economic growth. Two thirds of the world’s power-generating capacity, expected to come into use by 2030, has not been constructed yet. according to the International Energy Agency. The developing world will be particularly important. China and India alone are expected to account for two thirds of the global increase in coal usage over the next fifteen years. 

Solutions are being sought. Work is being undertaken with alternatives to fossil fuels such as wind and solar energy, but it will be a long time before these alternative sources play a major role in fulfilling the world’s energy needs. Geophysicist Klaus Lackner points out that around 85% of the world’s energy is derived from fossil fuels the cheapest and most plentiful energy source available, and the developing world in particular is unlikely to give them up. That is why many scientists support sequestration. 

However, several problems must be resolved before sequestration plays a key role in a low-carbon future. One is the cost of capturing carbon dioxide. A second is storing, the gas safely once it’s been captured. Today, it costs about $US50 to extract and store a tonne of carbon dioxide from a power plant, which raises the cost of producing electricity by 30- 80%. Lackner argues that it is too expensive to adapt existing plants to capture carbondioxide. Instead, he recommends that carbon-capturing capacity be built into future plants. Economic incentives are needed to encourage companies to identify low-cost carbon sequestration solutions. A government-supported program in the US has enabled some factories to partially capture carbon emissions, which they then sell for various uses, including carbonating soft drinks. However, there are no power plants ready for foil carbon capture.  

Once the carbon has been captured it must be stored. Natural carbon sinks, such as forests and wetlands, can remove some carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but not nearly enough. Carbon dioxide could be pumped to the bottom of the ocean, where the pressure would keep it pinned to the seabed in liquid form for decades, but that has serious long-term environmental risks. David Hawkins, from the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, warns that the carbon dioxide could radically alter the chemical balance in the ocean, with potentially harmful consequences for marine life. Others worry that the carbon dioxide could escape back into the atmosphere.  

A few promising attempts at underground carbon sequestration are currently under way. In western Canada, an oil company is pumping liquefied carbon dioxide into oil wells to force more oil to the surface and boost recovery by 10-15%. The company gets the carbon dioxide via a pipeline from North Dakota in the US, where the gas is captured from a synthetic-fuel plant. In another instance in the North Sea, a Norwegian energy firm is injecting carbon dioxide waste from its natural-gas operations into a saline aquifer 1000 metres beneath the ocean floor. 

Clearly, storing large amounts of gas underground raises environmental fears. Environmentalists argue that more research is needed on potential storage sites, such as oil and gas reservoirs and coal seams unsuitable for mining, to ensure that they offer long-term solutions. The World Wide Fund for Nature Australia has argued that the primary risk of underground storage is that dangerously large volumes of carbon dioxide might escape and people become asphyxiated.  

Little progress in slashing global greenhouse gases can be achieved without involving developing countries, but for now carbon sequestration is not their priority because of the increased costs this would add to energy production. Hawkins argues that, to encourage developing nations to use sequestration, developed nations will have to provide assistance. He suggests a multilateral initiative in which developed nations, perhaps by purchasing carbon credits from poorer countries, finance the difference between the cost of a regular coal-fired power plant and one that captures carbon emissions. That is, the rich – who will remain the world’s biggest polluters for years to come – would buy the right to emit carbon from the poor, who would use the proceeds to build better plants.
