SECTION 1
Logical Reasoning and Problem Solving
Questions 1 44
For each question, decide which answer is correct based onl y on the information gi ven.
Question 1 In the aftermath of a worldwide stock-market crash, Country T claimed that the severity of the stock-market crash it experienced resulted from the accelerated process of denationalisation of many of its industries which occured shortly before the crash. 1 Which of the following, if it could be carried out, would be most useful for the evaluation of Country T s assessment of the causes of the severity of its stock-market crash? A B C D Calculating the average loss experienced by individual traders in Country T during the crash. Using economic theory for predicting the next possible date of crash in Country T. Co mparing the total number of shares sold during the worst days of the crash in Country T to the total number of shares sold in Country T just prior to the crash. Co mparing the severity of the crash in Country T with those countries that are economically similar to Country T and have not experienced recent denationalisation.
Question 2 Kale has more nutritional value than spinach. But since collard greens have more nutritional value than lettuce, it follows that kale has more nutrit ional value than lettuce. 2 Any of the following, if introduced into the argument as an additional premise, makes the above argument logically correct EXCEPT A B C D collard greens have mo re nutritional value than kale. spinach has more nutrit ional value than lettuce. spinach has more nutrit ional value than collard greens. spinach and collard greens have the same nutrit ional value.
Question 3 Although custom prosthetic bone replacements produced through a new computer-aided design process will cost more than twice as much as ordinary replacements, custom replacements should still be cost -effective. Not only will surgery and recovery time be reduced, but cus tom replacements should last longer, thereby, reducing the need for further hospital stays. 3 Which of the follo wing must be studied in order to evaluate the argument presented above? A B C D The amount of time a patient spends in surgery versus the amount of time spent recovering fro m surgery. The amount by which the cost of producing custom replacements has declined with the introduction of the new technique for producing them. The degree to which the use of custom replacements is likely to reduce the need for repeat surgery when compared with the use of ordinary rep lacements. The degree to which custom replacements are produced with the help of new technique is more carefully manufactured than the ordinary replacements.

Question 4 Correct ly measuring the productivity of service workers is complex. Consider, for examp le, postal workers: they are often said to be more productive if more letters are delivered per postal worker. But is this really true? What if more letters are lost or delayed per wo rker at the same t ime that more are delivered? 4 The objection implied above to the productivity measure described is based on doubts about the truth of which of the fo llowing statements? A B C D Postal workers are representative of service workers in general. The delivery of letters is the primary activ ity of the postal service. Productivity should be ascribed to the categories of workers, not to individuals. The quality of services rendered can appropriately be ignored in co mputing produ ctivity.
Question 5 In the following diagram the rectangle stands for illiterate, the square stands for employed, the triangle stands for farmers and the circle stands for the rich people.
What does the shaded region indicate? A Illiterate and unemployed farmers B Some unemp loyed farmers are rich and illiterate C Some rich farmers who are employed D All the rich who are not illiterate and are farmers
Question 6 Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, Mammoth Industries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, while continuing its already extensive advertising of this product.

6
Page 6
Which of the following, if true, provides most support to the view that Mammoth Industries cannot increase its sales of telephones by adopting the plan outlined above? A B C D Although it sells all the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year. Mammoth Industries average inventory of telephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the last year. Advertising has made the brand name of Mammoth Industries telephones widely known, but few consumers know that Mammoth Industries owns this brand. Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sale of Mammoth Industries telephones have fallen in the last year.
Question 7 In tests for pironoma, a serious disease, a false positive result indicates that people have pironoma when, in fact, they do not; a false negative result indicates that people do not have pironoma when, in fact, they do. To detect pironoma most accurately, physicians should use the laboratory test that has the lowest proportion of fals e positive results. 7 Which of the follo wing, if true, g ives the most support to the above recommendation? A B C D The accepted treatment for pirono ma does not have damaging side effects. All laboratory tests undertaken to detect pironoma have the same pro portion of false negative results. In treating pironoma patients, it is essential to begin treatment as early as possible, as even a week of delay can result in loss of life. The proportion of inconclusive test results is equal for all laboratory t ests used to detect pironoma.
Question 8 The difficulty with the proposed high-speed train line is that a used plane can be bought for one-third the price of the train line, and the plane, which is just as fast, can fly anywhere. The train would be a fi xed linear system, and we live in a world that is spreading out in all directions and in which consumers choose the free -wheel systems (cars, buses, aircraft), which do not have fixed routes. Thus, a sufficient market for the train will not exist. 8 Which of the follo wing, if true, most severely weakens the argument presented above? A B C D Cars, buses, and planes require the efforts of drivers and pilots to guide them, whereas the train will be guided mechanically. Cars and buses are not as fast as the high-speed trains. Planes are not a free -wheel system because they can fly only between airports, which are less convenient for consumers than the high-speed trains stations. The high-speed train line cannot use the underutilised train stations in big cit ies.
Questions 9 and 10 According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements to the main co mmuter rail line would increase ridership dramat ically. The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five years by raising automobile tolls on the two highway bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the authority s plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something fro m which they receive no benefit.

9
Page 7
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness of the authority s plan to finance the proposed improvements by increasing bridge tolls? A B C D Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is required by law to hold public hearings where objections to the proposed increase can be raised. Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting mach ines. Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time the increase is actually put into effect; many commuters buy more tokens than usual to postpone the effects of the in crease. When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20 percent of the regular commuter t raffic switched to a slightly longer alternative route that has since been improved.
10
Which of the follo wing, if true, would provide the authority with the strongest counter to the objection that its plan is unfair? A B C D Even with the proposed toll increase, the average bridge toll in the Tristate region will remain less than the tolls charged in neighbouring states. Any attempt to finance the imp rovements by raising rail fares will result in a decrease in ridership and so will be self-defeating. The roads along the route served by the rail line are h ighly congested and drivers benefit when commuters are d iverted fro m congested roadways to mass transit. The only alternative way of funding the proposed improvements now being considered is through a regional income tax surcharge, wh ich will affect the automobile co mmuters as well as the rail commuters.
Question 11 The pharmaceutical industry argues that because new drugs will not be developed unless heavy development costs can be recouped in later sales, the current 20 years of protection provided by patents should be extended in the case of newly developed drugs. However, in other industries new-product development continues despite high development costs, a fact that indicates that the extension is unnecessary. 11 Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the pharmaceutical industry s argument against the proposed changes? A B C D No industries other than the pharmaceutical industry have asked for an extension of the 20-year limit on patent protection. Clin ical trials of new drugs, which occur after the patent is granted and before the new drug ca n be marketed, often take as long as 10 years to be comp leted. There are several industries in wh ich the ratio of research and development costs to revenues is higher than that of the pharmaceutical industry. An existing patent for a drug does not legally prevent pharmaceutical co mpanies fro m bring ing alternative drugs to the market, provided they are sufficiently d issimilar to the patented drug.
Question 12 Caterpillars of all species produce an identical hormone called juvenile hormone that maintains feeding behaviour. Only when a caterpillar has grown to the right size for pupation to take place does a special enzyme halt the production of juvenile hormone. This enzy me can be synthesised and will, on being ingested by immature caterpillars, kill them by stopping them fro m feeding.

12
Page 8
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the view that it would NOT be advisable to try to eradicate agricultural pests that go through a caterpillar stage by spraying croplands with the en zyme mentioned above? A B C D Most species of caterpillar are subject to natural predation. Many agricultural pests do not go through a caterpillar stage. Many agriculturally beneficial insects go through a caterpillar stage. Since caterpillars of different species emerge at different times, several sprayings will be necessary.
Question 13 Firms adopting profit-related-pay (PRP) contract pay wages at levels that vary with the firms profits. In the metalworking industry last year, firms with PRP contracts in place showed productivity per worker on average 13 percent higher than that of their co mpetitors who used more tradit ional contracts. 13 If, on the basis of the given evidences, it is argued that PRP contracts increase worker productivity, wh ich of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken that argument? A B C D Results similar to those cited for the metalworking industry have been found in other industries where PRP contracts are used. Under PRP contracts costs other than labour costs, such as plant, machinery, and energy, make up an increased proportion of the total cost of each unit of output. Because introducing PRP contracts greatly changes an individual worker s relationship with the firm, negotiating the introduction of PRP contracts is complex and time -consuming. Many firms in the metalworking industry have modernised production equipment in the last five years, and most of these introduced PRP contracts at the same time.
Question 14 Adult female rats that have never before encountered rat pups will start to show maternal behaviours after being confined with a pup for about seven days. This period can be considerably shortened by disabling the female s sense of smell or by remov ing the scent-producing glands of the pup. 14 Which of the follo wing hypotheses best exp lains the contrast described above? A B C D The amount of scent produced by rat pups increases when they are in the presence of a female rat that did not bear them. Female rats that have given birth are more affected by olfactory cues than the female rats that have never given birth. A female rat that has given birth shows maternal behaviour towards rat pups, that she did not bear, more quickly than does a female rat that has never given birth. The development of a female rats maternal interest in a rat pup that she did not bear is inhibited by the odour of the pup.

Question 15 and 16

The ultimate outcome of the battle for do minance between these two competing cellular data transmission technologies may lie more in their history than their respective merits. Technology Advantage Disadvantage Due to its proprietary nature, all of CDMA's flaws are not known to the engineering commun ity. CDMA is relatively new, and the network is not as mature as GSM. CDMA cannot offer international roaming, a large GSM advantage.
CDMA
Increased cellular co mmunications security. Simu ltaneous conversations. Increased efficiency, mean ing that the carrier can serve more subscribers. Smaller phones. Low power requirements and little cell-to-cell coordination needed by operators. Extended reach - beneficial to rural users situated far fro m cells.
GSM
International roaming permits subscribers to use one phone throughout Western Europe. CDMA will work in Asia, but not France, Germany, the U.K. and other popular European destinations. GSM is mature, having started in the mid -80s. This maturity means a more stable network with robust features. GSM's maturity means engineers cut their teeth on the technology, creating an unconscious preference. The availability of Subscriber Identity Modules, which are smart cards that provide secure data encryption give GSM m-co mmerce advantages.
Its costlier than CDMA technology. Lack of access to burgeoning American market.
15
For a security group working on crime-control, which mobile group connection is preferable? A B C D CDMA GSM Both the technologies are equally suitable CDMA for local and GSM for roaming
16
A farmer, in rural town of Western Australia, wants to buy a mobile for keeping contact with his daughter in Sydney. Which mobile technology will be more convenient for him? A B C D GSM CDMA Both are equally suitable for h im Depends on his daughters mobile connection

Question 17
Page 10
The earliest Mayan pottery found at Colha, in Belize, is about 3,000 years old. Recently, however, 4,500 -year-o ld stone agricultural imp lements were unearthed at Colha. These implements resemb le Mayan stone imp lements of a much later period, also found at Colha. Moreover, the imp lements designs are strikingly different fro m the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in Colha 4,500 years ago. 17 Which of the follo wing, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A B C D Ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Mayan people to make agricultural implements. Carbon dating of corn pollen in Colha indicates that agriculture began there around 4,500 years ago. Archaeological evidence indicates that some of the oldest stone imp lements found at Colha were used to cut away vegetation after controlled burning of trees to open areas of swamp -land for cu ltivation. Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricu ltural imp lements used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.
Question 18 Codex Berinensis, a Florentine copy of an ancient Roman medical treatise, is undated but contains clues to when it was produced. Its first 80 pages are by a single copyist, but the remaining 20 pages are by three different copyists, which indicate some significant disruption. Since a letter in handwriting identified as that of the fourth copyist mentions a plague that killed many people in Florence in 1148, Codex Berinensis was probably produced in that year. 18 Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the hypothesis that Codex Berinensis was produced in 1148? A B C D Other than Codex Berinensis, there are no known samples of the handwrit ing of the first three copyists. According to the account of the fourth copyist, the plague went on for 10 months. A scribe would be able to copy a page of text, the size and the style of Codex Berinensis in a day. Plague brokeout only once in Florence in the 1100s.
Question 19 The following table shows the sales trend of replacement doors and windows

19 If the trend for French doors continues, how many would be sold in the next quarter? A B C D 21 14 28 42

Questions 20 22 There is much talk of a hydrogen economy and one version of that future is described as based on dissociating water into hydrogen and oxygen with sunlight in photo-catalyst cells or films. If the rooftops of every house in the United States were covered in these cells, then every household would have at its disposal the hydrogen equivalent of over 10 litres of gasoline a day. The cells used would have to achieve the US Department of Energy s standard of 10 percent water-splitting efficiency before the investment would be worthwhile and the output would approach the 10lit re level. But this kind of efficiency has only been achieved under careful laboratory conditions using ultra -violet light. Sunlight comprises only 4 percent ultra-violet light and so the search is still on for a photo-catalyst that reaches the same level of efficiency using the whole sunlight spectrum. Another technological approach to the dissociation of water relies on microorganisms. Bio logists have lon g known of the existence of single-celled p lants that can break water mo lecules apart and release hydrogen and oxygen gas and the hope is that a microorganism can be found capable of generating hydrogen gas in sufficient quantities. So far, the search has been disappointing and the levels of gas produced have fallen a long way short of the amount necessary to satisfy the US Depart ment of Energys standard of efficiency. 20 Which of the follo wing sentences best expresses the general theme made in the passag e? A B C D The passage optimistically predicts that the hydrogen economy is just around the corner. The passage is pessimistic regarding the likelihood of a hydrogen economy based on the dissociation of water. The passage identifies a number of technological challenges that remain before a hydrogen economy is feasible. The passage describes a number of challenges that must still be solved on the path to a hydrogen economy based on the dissociation of water.
21
Which of the follo wing subjects is not raised in the passage? A B C D Solar panels that split water for hydrogen The dissociation of water with sunlight Hydrogen production using ultra-violet light Photo-catalysts that generate hydrogen from water
22
Which of the follo wing is the best description of the conclusion in the passage? A B C D Deductive Inductive Presumptuous Hypothetical
Questions 23 25 It is natural to believe that the worlds leading cities would be found to be in a constant state of change, evolving to accommodate new waves of immigrants, work/life balance, modes of transport and architectural style. With such a process of reinvention and renewal, and often sprawl, these places must become almost unrecognisable over long periods of time, say, for example, 100 years. However, when you get down to it and have a careful look at how these cities have changed over such a period, you are immed iately struck not by the way they have changed but in the All rights reserved by prepgenie.co.nz.

ways they havent. In particular, most of the broad patterns of socio-economic class remain the same, as do many local socio-economic characteristics. Most of the poorest areas will still be found to be poor. The architectural style of slum may have changed; low-rise, mult i-occupied hovels may well have been knocked down to be replaced with high-rise flats on sprawling heartless estates, but the social malaise caused by poverty and unemployment remains. A road that was notorious 100 years ago as a place frequented by drunks and members of the criminal class may well be found to suffer the same challenges. Only the language used to describe the nature of the problem will have changed and perhaps the problems will be attributed to drugs rather than alcohol and gangs of alienated youths rather than a criminal class. 23 Which of the suggested answers best expresses the key point of the passage? A B C D The social geography of the worlds leading cities changes over longer periods than you might expect. In the last 100 years, the worlds lead ing cities have changed beyond recognition architecturally, but they have hardly changed socially. The worlds leading cit ies are in a constant state of change, evolving to accommodate new waves of immigrants, work/life balance, modes of transport and architectural style. When you get down to it and have a careful look at these cities you are struck not by the way they have changed, but by the ways, they have not.
24
With which of the fo llowing statements is the author of the passage most likely to disagree? A B C D The architecture of the worlds great cit ies is being constantly established. The language with wh ich we describe the social geography of our great cit ies is constantly evolving. The social geography of our great cities is in a constant state of transformat ion. The social geography of our great cities appears invariable.
25
In the context of the passage, the word sprawl means A B C D to spread out ones limbs. disorganised expansion. an ungainly movement. an industrial area.
Questions 26 28 Bio-fuels, blended with ordinary fuel, are beginning to bring these green alternatives from obscurity. Brazil has, for many years, produced ethanol fro m sugar and used the high -octane alcohol as a substitute for gasoline. Vegetable o il derived fro m soya beans and rapeseed has been used to run tractors in many parts of the world. But these environmental alternatives to crude oil have until recently not been taken very seriously by the big consumer nations and their petro-corporations. But new laws requiring gasoline to contain 10 percent ethanol, and diesel to contain 6 percent vegetable oil by volume are changing all that. At the levels imposed, no new infrastructure is required in order to accommodate these changes as they can be dispensed at existing fuel stations and used to run existing cars, trucks and tractors. To go further, however, and, for examp le, run all cars exclusively on ethanol would require a new generation of engine and perhaps, more significantly, the scaling up of production of ethanol by a fantas tic margin. A who le-scale switch to bio-diesel seems to carry fewer challenges. Its production is far less capitalintensive in the start-up phase. Most existing engines can burn the fuel or would be relatively easy to convert and farmers are very receptive to the idea of a new market (and better prices) for a product they already grow. 26 Which of the follo wing sentences best expresses the key point made in the passage? A B C D As oil prices rise, policy-makers are turning to alternatives. New laws are beginning to lift b io-fuels fro m obscurity. Blending bio-fuels with tradit ional o il products is bringing them into pro minence. Bio-fuels are about to take off.
Page 13
27
Which of the follo wing sentences will conclude the passage? A B C D Any country with the space to grow bio-fuel-producing crops can be independent of imported fuels and increased agricultural revenue. Fear of g lobal warming is partly driv ing this search for off-the-wall alternatives. Sceptics argue that ethanol produced fro m growing crops will consume more gasoline than it will produce. If b io-fuels do take off, environ mentalists will raise as many concerns as they do currently.
28
It can be inferred fro m the passage that A B C D most cars can run on a fuel blend made up of 85 percent ethanol. government policy is lifting bio-fuels fro m obscurity. demand for b io-fuels will soon outstrip supply. cars can handle a blend of 10 percent ethanol.
Questions 29 31 There are plenty of careers that do not need a university degree. In law enforcement, administration, catering, retail, construction and transport, there are many highly paid careers to be had without the requirement of going to university. Take airline pilots, for example. No degree is necessary for this job and most are on salaries of over $100K. Anyone can achieve qualificat ions equally valued by employers through night school or college for a fraction of the cost of a degree. Many employers are complaining that they cannot find enough candidates of sufficient quality when they run graduate recruitment campaigns. So many graduates these days are simply not leaving university with the basic skills needed by employers. Poor spelling and grammar and weak mathemat ical ability means many graduate candidates cannot be left un supervised without the risk of basic mistakes being made or e-mails or memos being sent out with crass errors. Employers complain that graduates lack experience of the world of work. Above all else, employers are looking for co mmitted and conscientious sta ff with common sense and the hunger to succeed, and unfortunately universities do not teach these either. So why go to university? 29 Which of the follo wing statements best sums up the general theme of the passage? A B C D 30 One does not need a degree in order to get a good job. A degree is no longer the route to get a job. What is taught in the universities is not particularly relevant to the employers. There are many ways to get a top job without a degree.
Which of the follo wing statements, if true, will weaken the case made in the passage? A B C D Twenty percent of emp loyers are dissatisfied with the co mmunication skills of the graduates. Apart fro m a few intellectually demanding jobs, a degree has little significance to your chances of getting a job. Eighty percent of jobs by 2010 will need a degree. One-third of employers co mplain that most of their graduate positions are lying vacant.
31
Which of the follo wing would be the most suitable sentence to follow on fro m the passage? A B C D I am not sure of the significance of a degree to the world of work. Many young people drift into universities because they do not know what else to do. The number of graduates is increasing at a faster rate than the number of jobs. It might well turn out to be the best three or four years of your life but it will probably not be the sure fire route to a great job.

Questions 32 34 Perhaps they are the human equivalent of an endangered species. They certainly are the victims of the same encroachment on their land that causes the extinction of many animal species. The last few communities of nomadic people in Asia, Africa and South America have no effective means of defending their traditions and livelihood. Loggers are perhaps the cause of greatest conflict. They illegally enter the lands of these nomadic people, destroy their forests and woods, and hunt their animals. Ranchers may follow, to burn great tracts to clear it for their domesticated animals. Once the land is deprived of trees and plants an d the seasonal rains begin, the depleted soil is washed down into the rivers and permanent environmental damage can fo llo w. The loggers and ranchers move on further into the virg in habitat, displacing more no madic people. These are ancient habitats. They have existed for millions of years. But in less than 50 years they, along with the traditional way of hunting and gathering practiced by the peoples of these lands, have all but been lost. Worldwide, only a few thousand people are estimated to still live a truly no madic life. Most have been forced to abandon their traditional lifestyle practiced fo r millennia and have had to settle down in v illages to a life of hunting comb ined with subsistence farming.
32
Which of the follo wing statements is offered to support the theme of the passage? A B C D Loggers and ranchers are destroying the habitat of the world s few remaining nomad ic people. Worldwide, only a few thousand people are remaining who lead a no madic life. They are the victims of the same encroach ment on their lands that causes the ext inction of many animal species. No madic people take on loggers and ranchers to defend their threatened way of life.
33
The author does which of the following to put forward h is point? A B C D Corrects a misconception Relies on authority Uses an analogy Gives examp les
34
The tone of the passage is A B C D fatalistic. sceptical. cynical. defeatist.
Questions 35 39 Widespread help from parents and family members has generally always cast doubt on t he value of examinations in which ho me-co mpleted assignments contribute to the grade awarded. The extent of that contribution is significant, with about 20 to 60 percent of grades coming fro m such coursework. Most students believe that coursework is a fairer method of assessment when compared with all or nothing exams; however they also admit that it is all too easy to cheat. A review of the extent of cheating found overwhelming evidence of widespread abuse by students, teachers and parents. Incredibly, 1 in 10 parents admitted to doing assignments for their children. Teachers admitted to giving students too much help. But greatest concern arises because of the internet. A whole host of sites now exist, offering for a small fee (or even for free) for model essays and examples of coursework awarded with top grades. Most of these sites carry requests that the user does not submit the material as their own but there is no All rights reserved by prepgenie.co.nz.

Page 15
attempt to ensure that this request is adhered to, and there is much evidence of a plagiarism free -for-all of internetobtained material. Many educationalists conclude that the internet has made the policing of coursework impossible. 35 In the context of the passage the word plagiarise means A B C D 36 the infringement of so meone elses copyright. to borrow or crib the work o f someone else. to take someone elses work and pass it off as your own. the illegal use of written material authored by someone else.
Which of the follo wing will most naturally follows on as the next sentence to the passage? A B C D Coursework is obviously open to cheating and there should be much more emphasis on and more marks for proper invigilated assignments or exams. They have called for it either to be done under controlled conditions or to be dropped altogether. And believe the revelations cast doubt on the continually rising grades. Most young people nowadays can get well on the way to a decent pass grade before they even take an exam.
37
The author relies on which of the following to make his claims? A B C D Examples or analogies Deductive argument The drawing of co mparative assertions The findings of an investigative study
38
Which of the follo wing statements correctly reflects the point made in the passage? A B C D 20 to 60 percent of the total grades obtained, result from the help of parents and siblings. 20 to 60 percent of the total grades available, co me fro m the assignments that are comp leted at home. 20 to 60 percent of the total grades awarded in these qualifications come fro m the contribution of parents and family. 20 to 60 percent of the grades are allocated to the assignments completed at home.
39
The author will agree that A B C D widespread help fro m parents and siblings has led to grade inflation. widespread help fro m parents and siblings has made the policing of ho me-co mp leted coursework almost impossible. widespread help fro m parents and siblings has made nonsense of the national exam system. widespread help fro m parents and siblings raises serious questions about the credibility of vocational qualification.
Questions 40 44 A study of the benefits of a family, fro m cholesterol-lowering drugs used in the treatment of heart attacks, has shown that while the greatest benefits are enjoyed by tho se at greatest risk of a vascular event, every person at risk can gain considerable benefits from the treatment. These findings have led to calls that it should be offered to anybody at a risk of heart attack or stroke. It has long been known that the tre atment, if ad ministered daily to the group most at risk of an attack, cuts that risk by a third. At present, doctors prescribe the treatment only once they have considered a number of factors, including cholesterol level, blood pressure, body fat levels and whether the patient smokes. The new evidence suggests that patients with less than very high levels of cholesterol will also experience a significant drop in their cholesterol levels and a consequent lower risk of a vascular event. In fact, it concludes that the benefits of the treatment are directly proportional to the size of the reduction in cholesterol levels that might be achieved and not the level at which the intervention begins.

Which of the following factors gave rise to the call that the treatment should be offered to anybody at risk of a heart attack or stroke? A B C D The realisation that the treatment is literally a life saver The realisation that not every person at risk can gain considerable benefits fro m the treatment The realisation that benefits fro m the treat ment is seen indifferent types of patients The realisation that the risk of a heart attack is much higher in people who smoke, are overweight and have high cholesterol levels and blood pressure
41
The treatment is A B C D a single drug. administered daily. an unspecified intervention. a series of painful in jections.
42
The best summary of the conclusion to be drawn fro m the study is that A B C D the benefits of the treatment are in d irect proportion to the size of the reduction in cholesterol levels that might be achieved and not the level at which intervention begins. this treatment could cut heart attacks by a third. the treatment should be prescribed to anyone assessed to be at risk of a heart attack or stroke. there is now a stronger case for the treatment to be prescribed to a much wider group of patients.
43
Given that the benefits of the treatment are directly proportional to the size of the reduction in cholesterol levels it is correct to say that A B C D doctors should offer this treatment to everybody whom they believe are at risk of a heart attack regardless of their cholesterol levels. doctors should look more to the relative drop in cholesterol levels that may be achieved, rather than prioritising patients suffering severely. the treatment may not benefit a wide range of patients as thought originally. everyone could gain considerable benefits fro m the treat ment.
44
Which of the statements, if true, will weaken the claim that patients with low levels of cholesterol will also experience a significant drop in their cholesterol levels and consequently a much lower risk of a vascular event? A B The largest benefits from the treat ment are seen among those having greatest risk of a vascular event than those with lower level of cholesterol. Unfortunately, the best results from the treatment are only obtained when the treatment is customised to individual patients cholesterol levels and requires someone with less than very high choles terol levels to take a s maller dose on everyday basis. Preliminary evidence suggests that the treatment achieves a relatively small reduction in the risk of a heart attack among people with lo wer levels of cholesterol. Not all the evidences are positive, as people with lower cholesterol levels who take the treatment have been found to develop an increased risk of some cancers.

In the following passage a man relates his experience of visiting the psychologist as a child. I have a relatively clear memory of my one and only meeting with the psychologist, whose office was in a dark, musty building, located somewhere downtown. He impressed me as a pleasant and engaging ad ult who made me feel quite comfortable. However he did have a distracting habit of constantly cracking his knuckles while we talked. Which, as I think of it now, the knuckle cracking may have been an indicator that he was struggling with some problem of his own. Anyway, after an hour or so we were through. He told my father that I was an auditory learner, that I possessed high verbal ability, that I was certainly intelligent and certainly dyslexic. However, they were not to worry because dyslexia normally disappears around the onset of puberty Hell gro w out of it. No parent is particularly receptive to the notion that their child is anything but normal. My mother continued to insist that she knew deep down that I was intelligent and, therefore, normal. My father, a physician embraced the words hell grow out of it and saw the solution in tutoring and athletics to refine coordination. 45 The way the author speaks about the psychologists behaviour suggests that he finds him A B C D 46 rude despite his reasonableness. agonising despite being consoling. perturbed despite being understandable. rid iculous to the point of being humorous.
The psychologists feedback after the examination suggests A B C D a lack of sensitivity to the patients feelings. an acute awareness of the patients feelings. a genuine interest in the patients circumstances. a natural ability to make the patient feel co mfortable.
47
The parents reactions seem to step main ly fro m their feelings of A B C D disbelief. superiority. protectiveness. overconfidence.
Question 48 The following passage has been related by a young girl, who has been diagnosed with depression. I am t wenty now but I very nearly didnt make it that far. Two years ago around this time I started university, the best time of your life apparently. I didnt agree with that and I know p lenty of people who agree with me on that point. I know people with depression find it hard to concentrate. Shortly after starting university I was diagnosed with depression and was put onto medication, shortly after this I started to cut myself regularly, usually in the evenings. I also burned myself and whenever I cut myself by accident (I am naturally accident prone anyway!) I was blissfully happy. The morning afte r the night before came and the guilt over my cutting made me feel worse so the cutting increased. The people in Hall with me tried to be supportive but they kept telling me that I could just snap out of it which I couldn t.

48 In finding herself as blissfully happy, the girl projects herself as A B C D joyful. sadistic. wounded. depressed.

Questions 49 52 Below is a womans perspective of her treatment of depression by two separate psychiatrists. My first experience with treat ment was at the mental health clinic at the local hospital. When I walked into the new psychiatrists office, I immediately got a bad feeling. It looked like he felt this was a temporary situation, as the office was completely bare except for the desk and two chairs. The reason for my visit was to ask him to raise my med ication, as I was feeling the familiar signs of depression after being fairly stable for a year. He never even looked at me, and only asked me one question to determine whether I was depressed again or not, Do you have thoughts of harming yourself or others? I said, Well, no, but I never have, so thats not really an indication for me. He ignored all the signs of depression I was recounting and refused to raise my med ication. I absolutely hated him, and wouldnt go back until he was gone six months later. This time when I walked into the new psychiatrist s office I was very wary, but the difference he had made in that cold office was amazing. I m a little fu zzy on the specifics, but I immediately noticed that the place smelled great. He had air fresheners in the office that made you want to inhale when you walked in. He had prints on the walls and (Im pretty sure) healthy plants. I may be just remembering the plants because he was such a nurturing person. He also had a photo of himself with a child on his bulletin board, which I took as a good sign. He was very accessible, listened to me, and ordered a blood test to find out the level of meds in my blood, which indeed was too low. He stayed longer than six months before moving on, and I was very sorry to see him go. 49 How d id the first doctor treat his patient? A B C D 50 Arrogantly Indifferently Co mfort ingly Sympathetically
The second doctors treatment of his patient can be best described as A B C D kind. cordial. routine. lenient.
51
Fro m the second doctors chamber, which of the fo llo wing can be concluded about his character? A B C D Kind but rude Jovial and loving Accessible but strict Warm and considerate

Questions 53 55 The following passage reveals how a gym routine works wonders for a lady suffering from depression.
Page 19
Bea Thompson, 43, had been suffering fro m an xiety and depression for several years before being referred to the Active Lifestyles Exercise Referral Scheme. She credits the programme as the catalyst for her recovery. When I left the gym that morn ing I felt as if someone had given me a million pounds it was the sense of achievement, the fact that Id been understood, the fact that Id been able to do some work in a gym, and that I now had somewhere to go every Monday and Wednesday. I also had something to work towards a goal plus good support and a nice environment to go into. Mentally, emotionally, psychologically and socially it was the best (treat ment) Id been given. It was like a club the exercise referral people would give each other support and encouragement. It changed my world. I started rollerb lading on a Sunday; I found a swimming club, and someone to play tennis with. And that all enabled me to have the confidence to go forward and find a part -time job. None of that would have been possible without Active Lifestyles and the emotional support I got there. It was the input fro m the team that made such a difference if one day I was in a bad state theyd see me and listen to whatever it was I was upset about. It was always an attitude of everything can be overcome. Earlier, I had stopped believing in myself, and I had stopped trusting other people. The programme and the support that I got changed everything for me. 53 Which of the follo wing best describes Bea Thomsons feeling after his first visit to the gym?

Questions 61 and 62 In the following extract a man relates his experiences of overcoming his depression. I was a primary school teacher for 10 years before stress at work caused depression, which eventually led to my resignation. My recovery was slow, and I felt tired all the time. Id put on weight and was quite unfit, so when my wife told me about an advert shed seen for the Green Gy m I thought I might give it a go. Ive always liked gardening and practical things, and would rather do that than go jogging or to a gym. It was a real effort to go along for the first time. My illness makes me worry about going to new places and meeting new people, so even getting to the first session was quite a challenge. However, once Id got over that hurdle it all became much easier. Jo, the leader, has been great, making us all feel welco me and wanted. Its increased my confidence, as Ive proved to myself that I can do things, and Im also much fitter and have lost weight. We always have a lot of fun, whatever the weather. Its therapeutic being close to nature, and I enjoy the friendship as well as the practical work. All rights reserved by prepgenie.co.nz.

Question 63 The following passage is based on a personal account of a mother who undergoes a sudden realisation. There were days I so badly wanted to give up. I hated putting in so much effort. It was so much easier to just go to work, leave the kid with my folks, and just walk away. Eventually, I had to quit my job (actually I was forced out), because they couldnt handle my inflexible schedule anymore. Thats when I woke up and realised that if Philip is ever going to get better, I have to stop worrying about my convenience, and start worrying more about my son s recovery fro m a frightening disorder. I had to become a researcher, a therapist, and an advocate. And I had no time to waste. 63 Which option best describes the feeling of the author in the first line?

Questions 64 67 In the following passage Mr. Parker gives us an account of his visit to a children s park and his perception about people he met there. Went to the park by my house over the weekend and had an eye opening moment. I was there watching, hold ing, running and generally playing around with my son. There were a few other families around as well. Another man came by with his two children, maybe 4 and 5 or 5 and 6 - but no older, and sat down to read the paper while they played. The park has a rock wall (5 h igh) a few slides and walkways on this giant play set; plenty for them to do. As they were playing his daughter (the younger one) s tarted climbing up a weird ladder where there are no rungs from one side to the other, only footholds on each side. She made it almost the whole way up before she lost her nerve and started calling for help fro m daddy. His first reaction was to tell her figure it out which I thought was hilarious, until she didnt move for a few minutes. The other parents started milling about until daddy showed up to help. Here is the thing, when he gets to her he doesnt pick her up, he stands there and tells her how to solve her problem. At first I thought that was pretty cool and cruel at the same time because you could tell she was crying, but eventually she was able to climb all the way up without his assistance.

64 Which of the follo wing best reveals the nature of the narrator? A B C D 65 Happy go lucky man Playfu l and observant Critique and hypocrite Learner and appreciator

Questions 68 70 The following passage is narrated by a daughter describing the nature of her alcoholic father. My dad was an alcoholic, and no one in my family has yet to recognise it, and he passed away six years ago. No one thought so because he was not a fall down drunk, and he went to work every day of his life. I knew, because he could not go without at least 2 4 beers a night; had to have them; would go to another town if all the liquor stores in our town closed. He never missed those days at work, and he never missed those beers at night. And if there was an occasion or a holiday or a visit, he would drink more than 2 4 beers, and would start his obnoxious, loud, belligerent arguing with whoever was unfortunate enough to be sitting next to him. He had no preference. He would argue with any family member, friend, or outsider.

She is amazed by the fact that her father could behave normally even when he was drunk.
Questions 71 and 72 In the following passage, Kevin, who recently came to know about his serious illness, shares an aspect of the lives of such sufferers. It is no wonder that people conceal serious illnesses, whether cancer, heart disease, or mental illness. Once exposed, these illnesses prove to be unforgettable to others. People never walk with the same dignity again. Their weakness has been exposed and it is this that others always observe. To some this weakness justifies treatment that shows no respect to the person as a human being. So mehow the person is seen to be responsible for the weakness and therefore appropriately blamed. The person has lost the right to be treated with honou r. This honour is accorded only to those who are strong, healthy, and successful. To others the weakness calls forth much advice to change. The weakness must become strength again and only then will the person be treated as someone deserving respect. 71 What is Kevins view about healthy people? A B C D 72 Inhuman Boisterous Reproachful Trau matised
What does Kevin say about how people around him react to serious illnesses? A B C D They stay calm in the face of the illness. They prefer not knowing about the illness. They are disrespectful towards the patients. They are kind and helpful towards the patients.

How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my babies go and where did my youth go? I remember well, seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away fro m me and that winter was so far off that I could not fatho m it or imagine fu lly what it would be like. But, here it is, husband retired and hes really getting gray, he moves slower and I see an older man now. Hes in much better shape than me, but, I see the great change.

but, like me, his age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought wed be. Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day!

Questions 80 82 In the following passage, the mother of two-year-old, Christian, relates certain instances from her life as a mother. He shrieked when we cut his hair or brushed his hair. We knew the speech was in him, but he was too out of control to let those words out. I remember a doctors visit where the paediatrician needed to look in his ear, and I had to hold him in my lap. Two doctors had to try to hold him down. Christian whacked me in my face and caused a nose bleed. Ch ristian wasnt the only one who left the office in tears that day. I left with an ice pack to accompany my crying jag. I guess you see where this is going. Despite everyones efforts, life spun out of control for us. He made progress, and we could, once in a while, see bits and pieces of the little boy hidden inside of Christian. Beh ind the autistic wall of anger and discomfort, a smart, delightful little boy was wait ing to come out. I was desperate to do the right thing for Christian. But... how was I supposed to do that?

No one understands that I dont think I can work. I try to fool myself and try to feel strong, but I would feel most comfo rtable doing something very simp le where I m not pressured by the public. I have wished sometimes I had cancer. Because I know how it feels to be sick every day but not to that degree. But All rights reserved by prepgenie.co.nz.
