BRANO AC 86
Leggere attentamente il seguente brano.
Secondo uno studio l'87% degli italiani non crede nei social network come fonte di notizie credibili, mentre l'82% non è in grado di riconoscere una bufala che circola sul web. La ricerca sull'universo mediatico italiano, giunta alla sua seconda edizione, ha coinvolto un campione d'indagine superiore ai 1500 cittadini italiani, raccogliendo i dati sulla percezione del sistema mediatico, con particolare attenzione al livello di credibilità, fiducia e influenza delle fonti di informazione.
Dalla ricerca emerge l'assoluta dipendenza degli italiani dal web. Il 95% del campione utilizza quotidianamente internet, quasi il 70% lo fa per più di tre ore al giorno e il 32% per più di cinque ore. La metà di questo tempo è impiegata sui social network [1].
Una vera e propria overdose da web che comporta stati d'ansia (8,68%’, insonnia (16,84%’, confusione e frustrazione (6,38%’, dolori di stomaco e mal di testa (8,36%’ e dimenticanze (9,93%’. I social media e i dispositivi digitali incidono anche sulle facoltà mentali dell'individuo, il pensiero profondo, l'attenzione e la memoria. Il 69,34% degli italiani registra e memorizza le informazioni di cui ha bisogno sul telefono, mentre il 79,93% ritiene di essere in grado di trovare facilmente le notizie di cui ha bisogno e tende a fare un largo uso di free media piuttosto che di media a pagamento.
Gli italiani sono iperconnessi eppure si fidano poco del web e dei social. Per l'87,24% degli italiani Facebook e compagni non offrono più opportunità di apprendere notizie credibili, ma per gli utenti questo non sembra costituire un problema. A riprova di ciò, per il 77,3% le fake news non indeboliscono la democrazia. "È innegabile che si tratti di dati inquietanti ha spiegato Eugenio Iorio, coordinatore scientifico della ricerca perché in un'infosfera [2] così configurata i cittadini/utenti, sprovvisti dei più elementari strumenti di analisi e di critica della realtà e privi di qualsiasi strumento di difesa, tendono ad avere una visione distorta della realtà, una visione sempre più prossima a quella desiderata dai manipolatori delle loro capacità cognitive". Da questo punto di vista diventa fondamentale il ruolo della formazione delle nuove generazioni. "Il quadro negativo emerso dal rapporto "Infosfera" lancia un forte allarme al quale possono e debbono rispondere le scuole e le università impegnandosi nella formazione di una coscienza critica nei giovani che sia più preparata al bombardamento mediatico a cui oggi si viene sottoposti in maniera indiscriminata e incontrollata", ha detto il commissario dell'Agcom Mario Morcellini, a margine della presentazione del rapporto.

PASSAGE LH 72
Read the passage and answer the related questions on the basis of its contents and not of any knowledge you might have of its subject.
If you give the patient one pill, he perks up. If you give him another pill, he calms down. That might not surprise you. What might, though, is that it still works even when the pills contain no medicine.
Studies show that red pills are more effective stimulants than blue pills; blue pills are more effective as sleeping tablets than orange tablets. Green or blue pills aren t as effective as red ones as painkillers. But these were all placebos, administered in a series of experiments in the Sixties and Seventies, looking at how our perception of colour affects our minds and bodies.
The idea that colours affect our mood seems vaguely hippyish, but now the body of scientific research into colour is growing.
And it all points to one thing: our perception of colour really does affect our minds, and our bodies.
Yet, colour "doesn t really exist in the world", says Beau Lotto, neuroscientist at University College London. Blue isn t a property of denim or skies, but of how our eyes interpret a set of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation, which we call visible light.
Red isn t a property of blood but how our eyes interpret another, longer set of wavelengths.
"Human vision is trichromatic," says Prof Andrew Stockman, a colleague of Dr Lotto s. "Like a colour television." We have three different colour receptors, cones, in our eyes, each designed to pick up different wavelengths of light. These are red, green and blue. Most mammals, apart from a few of our fellow apes, have two, and so do most color-blind people, meaning they can only detect green and blue wavelengths. If we had only one receptor, we d see the world in something like black and white.
"The whole point of colour vision is not to inspire poets, but to allow contrast detection," says Russell Foster, professor at the University of Oxford. "You ve got a better chance of detecting an object against a background if you have colour vision." Birds are the masters at this, he says they are tetrachromatic, having four colour detectors, and would see things that we see as a single red as an infinite, glorious wash of colours.
Unlike birds, though, mammals are descended from small, timid creatures who scurried around avoiding dinosaurs and, crucially, were nocturnal. Our ancestors had far less use for colour detection, which is much harder at night. It was only after the death of the dinosaurs 65million years ago that our forebears ventured out into the daylight, and it is only 30 or 40 million years or so since a mutant ape developed a third colour receptor.
(from: "Seeing red? The mind-bending power of colour", Tom Chivers, ’
To recover one's health A
To recover one's energy or cheerfulness B
To stop feeling drowsy C
To feel nervous and agitated D
What does "perk up" (line 1) mean?
Answer the following question concerning PASSAGE LH 72 11
I00015
Mammals' vision development is still in its early stages, but we can predict than in some million years' time it will be nearly as advanced as that of birds
A
Our forebears were tiny animals whose structure wouldn't allow them to develop a sophisticated colour detection system; that is why it was only 65 million years ago that a mammal started to develop trichromatic vision B
Only flying animals can develop tetrachromatic vision, allowing them to see many more shadows of colours than mammals can see
C
Our ancestors were animals living at night, as they needed to hide from big dinosaurs; therefore a sophisticated colour detection was not necessary, and only a few dozen million years ago we started to develop trichromatic vision
D
According to the passage, why isn't mammals' vision as developed as that of birds?

PASSAGE AA 14
Read the passage and answer the related questions.
The debate about the value of a degree in creative writing is complex and still active. Many think that good writing depends on an innate facility that cannot be taught, others believe that good writing depends on devoted time and elements of craft that can be studied. This week, a debut novel was criticised in a review by an author for its "style and tedious writing workshop description". For some, "writing workshop" means "bad". But why?
I enrolled on a fiction course at Boston University. There I was taught by the author Leslie Epstein, who distributed a document called Tips for Writing and Life at the beginning of the year.
Epstein s tips were very specific. He advised: "One must have in mind between 68 and 73% of the ending" before starting a story. Writing about dreams was discouraged, if not totally banned, as were ellipses, abstract nouns and satire.
The purpose of Epstein s approach was not to create clones, all writing identical books; it was to impress upon students the need to master clear writing and develop a foundation strong enough to support original ideas. It seems to me no different to musicians practicing scales, or artists studying anatomical drawing. If there are such things as institutional styles, they are likely because students choose to attend courses taught by writers they admire, not because their education has instilled in them an institutional formula. I now teach creative writing myself; nothing could be less productive or more boring than forcing all my students to write in the same way.
(from: "Let's silence the creative writing course snobs", Nell Stevens, ’
Why some think that you must attend a creative fiction workshop to become a real writer A
Whether Leslie Epstein's course is actually making people become good writers B
Why some think that writers who attended a creative fiction workshop are always bad writers C
Whether one is born a writer or one can become a writer by learning how to write and working hard D
What is the passage about?
Answer the following question concerning PASSAGE AA 14 18
I00020
They produce authors writing the same books in the same style A
They are a good way to learn the basics and practice one's talents B
They should teach students an institutional formula, just like drawing or music courses C
They are quite useless if they only provide tips: students must not find classes "boring"
D
What does the author think about creative writing courses?
Answer the following question concerning PASSAGE AA 14 19
I00022
make students understand the importance of clear writing to express original ideas A
make students write in the same way as he does B
discourage students who were not interested in his tips C
make students concentrate on the book's ending rather than on everything else D
According to the author, Epstein's aim was to:
Answer the following question concerning PASSAGE AA 14 20
I00023
original ideas A
a satirical tone B
institutional styles C
descriptions D
Leslie Epstein thinks that good writing should NOT include:

舞台本来是沟通艺术家和观众的桥梁,而现在却硬是变成了隔离他们的障碍。这些年,
戏剧人尽忙着在先锋的试验的肥皂剧里练活儿了,票房和观众都有点儿顾不上。尽管观众的 欣赏水平紧赶慢赶,可怎么也赶不上艺术家一夜之间涌现的滚滚才思。艺术家如果不能迁就 观众的审美趣味,观众就不敢恭维艺术家的创作水平。那这戏还演给谁看?
舞台不是实验田,千万别拿观众做什么实验。实验、探索是艺术家的事,观众没有义 务奉陪。买票进剧场,就有权利感受赏心阅目的艺术。花钱买罪受,还是免了吧。
47. 这段话是对什么人说的?
A 电视观众 B 节目主持人 C 医学工作者 D 戏剧艺术家

BRANO AC 86
Leggere attentamente il seguente brano.
Secondo uno studio l'87% degli italiani non crede nei social network come fonte di notizie credibili, mentre l'82% non è in grado di riconoscere una bufala che circola sul web. La ricerca sull'universo mediatico italiano, giunta alla sua seconda edizione, ha coinvolto un campione d'indagine superiore ai 1500 cittadini italiani, raccogliendo i dati sulla percezione del sistema mediatico, con particolare attenzione al livello di credibilità, fiducia e influenza delle fonti di informazione.
Dalla ricerca emerge l'assoluta dipendenza degli italiani dal web. Il 95% del campione utilizza quotidianamente internet, quasi il 70% lo fa per più di tre ore al giorno e il 32% per più di cinque ore. La metà di questo tempo è impiegata sui social network [1].
Una vera e propria overdose da web che comporta stati d'ansia (8,68%“, insonnia (16,84%“, confusione e frustrazione (6,38%“, dolori di stomaco e mal di testa (8,36%“ e dimenticanze (9,93%“. I social media e i dispositivi digitali incidono anche sulle facoltà mentali dell'individuo, il pensiero profondo, l'attenzione e la memoria. Il 69,34% degli italiani registra e memorizza le informazioni di cui ha bisogno sul telefono, mentre il 79,93% ritiene di essere in grado di trovare facilmente le notizie di cui ha bisogno e tende a fare un largo uso di free media piuttosto che di media a pagamento.
Gli italiani sono iperconnessi eppure si fidano poco del web e dei social. Per l'87,24% degli italiani Facebook e compagni non offrono più opportunità di apprendere notizie credibili, ma per gli utenti questo non sembra costituire un problema. A riprova di ciò, per il 77,3% le fake news non indeboliscono la democrazia. "È innegabile che si tratti di dati inquietanti ha spiegato Eugenio Iorio, coordinatore scientifico della ricerca perché in un'infosfera [2] così configurata i cittadini/utenti, sprovvisti dei più elementari strumenti di analisi e di critica della realtà e privi di qualsiasi strumento di difesa, tendono ad avere una visione distorta della realtà, una visione sempre più prossima a quella desiderata dai manipolatori delle loro capacità cognitive". Da questo punto di vista diventa fondamentale il ruolo della formazione delle nuove generazioni. "Il quadro negativo emerso dal rapporto "Infosfera" lancia un forte allarme al quale possono e debbono rispondere le scuole e le università impegnandosi nella formazione di una coscienza critica nei giovani che sia più preparata al bombardamento mediatico a cui oggi si viene sottoposti in maniera indiscriminata e incontrollata", ha detto il commissario dell'Agcom Mario Morcellini, a margine della presentazione del rapporto.
(Da: "L'82 per cento degli italiani non sa riconoscere una bufala sul web", Repubblica.it“

Per le grandi percentuali di utenti che utilizzano internet e i dispositivi digitali per la ricerca di notizie B

PASSAGE GF 73
Read the passage and answer the related questions on the basis of its contents and not of any knowledge you may have of its subject.
People who struggle with maths problems might fare better after a course of gentle electric shocks to the brain, scientists have claimed. Psychologists at Oxford University found that students scored higher on mental arithmetic tasks after a five-day course of brain stimulation.
If future studies prove that it works and is safe the cheap and non-invasive procedure might be used routinely to boost the cognitive power of those who fall behind in maths, the scientists said. Researchers led by Roi Cohen Kadosh zapped students' brains with a technique called transcranial random noise stimulation (TRNS“ while they performed simple calculations, or tried to remember mathematical facts by rote learning.
In the study, 25 students had electrical pulses fired across their brains, while 26 others had a sham treatment, in which they thought they had brain stimulation, but the equipment was turned off. In tests afterwards, the students who had their brains stimulated solved maths puzzles 27% faster than the control group, suggesting that their brains were working more efficiently.
"Our aim is to help those with poor numeracy, which is approximately 20% of the population," Cohen Kadosh said. "But we need to extend the results to the general population, and use more ecological settings, such as classrooms. There is of course more work to be done, but it is a promising direction."
Cohen Kadosh said the improvement lasted for six months after the course of stimulation, but other scientists were dubious about the claim. The result was based on six students who received stimulation, and six controls, who returned to the lab six months later.
"The work is technically impressive and an elegant illustration of how brain stimulation can have immediate benefits for learning that are linked to changes in brain physiology," said Chris Chambers, a psychologist at Cardiff University. "At the same time, I'm sceptical about the conclusion that TRNS boosted maths ability even six months after it was applied. The claim is based on a very small sample. My worry is that the six-month effect, as intriguing as it appears, could be a false discovery. I would love to see this effect replicated in a sample that is larger and well-powered, because if true it could have important implications for basic neuroscience and the treatment of various clinical conditions. But until such data appears, the six-month claim remains weak in my view."

PASSAGE FL 04
Read the passage and answer the related questions.
The belief that formal elaboration, which is the ideal of certain written genres, would in itself lead to a more correct and communicatively more forceful language is of course a myth, but it is a myth which is very deeply rooted in our entire culture.
That everyday spoken language is plain [1] and poor, deficient, illogical, incoherent and ungrammatical is something which has been part and parcel [2] of school education for millennia. Children should for this reason receive a correct and decent language at school. For many centuries it was thought that this activity of cultivating and refining the pupil's language was naturally related to the civilizing correction of his [3] crude and evil morals. Martin Luther is one of those who have expressed this explicitly:
Here is a translation from a regulation for the Swedish school system edited in 1649 (cf. Thavenius 1981:138“:
"It is true that the boys carry their mother tongue with them from home but it is most often crude and uncultivated, sometimes even filthy [4] and spoilt. Therefore it needs to be cultivated and refined at school, and teachers should take pains to teach the pupils, each according to his age, how to speak and write his mother tongue in a good and cultivated way. Teachers will find opportunities for this in several ways but particularly much in translating and reproducing the Latin authors and in correcting the boys' own translations."
As we have noted earlier, school education served to emphasize the social barriers between the very few, who had access to the written language, and the vast majority of the people, those who were living in their everyday oral culture:
"The grammatical distinctness and the formulaic nature of literary styles along with the many highly artificial calligraphic conventions such as those illustrated in W.J. Ong's "Latin Language Study as a Renaissance Puberty Rite" (1959“, tend to function as access barriers [5] which kept schooling and hence command over literary skills confined to small groups where learning was more a matter of personal, tutorial type contact between students and teachers and informal socialization by small group process than of formal curriculum. For those not born as members of literate groups who succeeded in crossing these barriers, becoming literate meant loosening [6] familial ties to taking on a new cultural identity." (Cook-Gumperz & Gumperz 1981:94“
Our views on education and schooling have undoubtedly changed considerably since the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but there are certain features in the views on language which prevail from Luther down to Chomsky. Although Chomsky obviously belongs to quite another context, it remains true that he too argues that normal spoken discourse is faulty, deficient, and ungrammatical.
That everyone should learn Latin A
That the language boys spoke at home could not be corrected B
That more refined language led to more refined morals C
That children who were not taught refined language became mentally deficient D
What was the long-standing belief, also held by Martin Luther?
Answer the following question concerning PASSAGE FL 04 17
I00037
few children are taught to speak correctly A
all children should learn to speak a correct, standard form of their language B
very little has changed since the 16thand 17thcenturies C
the written language is still preferred to the spoken D
In general the author seems to believe that in education:
Answer the following question concerning PASSAGE FL 04 18
I00039
That co-education existed A
That this type of education was restricted to male children only B
That only male children learned Latin C
That this type of education was compulsory D
