According to the passage, all of the following are requirements for pursuing a career in space exploration EXCEPT ______. " For many of us, being able to go to space is a rare and wonderful experience. However, before you can officially join NASA and carry out your first mission in space, the road will definitely not be easy. To begin with, those who want to pursue a career in space exploration must have a master’s degree in a relevant field of science and at least two years of relevant professional experience, which amounts to at least 7 to 8 years of preparation in total. The application process, which takes place every four years, is no less challenging. When 18,300 people applied for the class of 2017, for example, only 12 were accepted, which is less than 1% - so your chances of being accepted is definitely slim. Even if NASA approves your application, it will take some time before you can actually leave Earth. First, you need to complete two years of basic training. Astronaut trainees must be fluent in Russian so they’ll be able to effectively communicate with their colleagues and other experts at the Russian Mission Control Centre, especially during important missions. Furthermore, they also have to learn everything about how spaceships work and the complicated science involved in space stations. And of course, there is also physical training. Astronauts in training need to earn scuba certification and swim three laps in a pool while wearing a flight suit. They must also undergo military land and water survival training, which is essential for emergencies. Finally, trainees must practise in simulations that allow them to get used to high and low atmospheric pressures, which they may experience when working in space."

completion of a specialized training program

knowledge about how spaceships work

two years of relevant professional experience

a master’s degree in a relevant field of science

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence "They must also undergo military land and water survival training, which is essential for emergencies."

Military land and water survival training is crucial for astronauts to complete in case of emergencies.

Astronauts need to complete military land and water training to prepare for emergencies.

Astronauts have the option to take military survival training for land and water situations if they want to.

Undergoing military land and water survival training is required but not necessary for astronauts.

Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? " For many of us, being able to go to space is a rare and wonderful experience. However, before you can officially join NASA and carry out your first mission in space, the road will definitely not be easy.

For every astronaut, knowledge of how spaceships work is crucial.

Astronauts must be familiar with different levels of atmospheric pressure.

Which of the following best summarizes paragraph 2? " Although it’s already well known that we should sometimes rest while studying, new research suggests that we should aim for “minimal interference” during these breaks—avoiding any activity that could interrupt memory formation like checking your emails or surfing the Internet. [IV] The remarkable memory-boosting benefits of undisturbed rest were first documented in 1900 by the German psychologist Georg Elias Muller. In one experiment, Muller first asked their participants to learn a list of meaningless syllables. Following a short study period, half the group were immediately given a second list to learn while the rest were given a short break before continuing. In the end, the participants given the break remembered nearly 50 percent of the 2 lists, compared to an average of 28 percent for the other group.''

An experiment demonstrated that breaks improve memory recall for lists of information.

A study in the 1900s showed that studying for a shorter period is bound to impair memory.

Research confirmed that distractions during study breaks can harm memory formation.

Early experiments suggest that studying and resting both contribute equally to memory retention.

According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of undisturbed rest? [I] When trying to memorise new things, it’s easy to assume that the more work we put in, the better we will perform. [II] But just try dimming the lights and enjoying 10-15 minutes of silence, and you may find that your memory of what you have learnt is far better. [III] Although it’s already well known that we should sometimes rest while studying, new research suggests that we should aim for “minimal interference” during these breaks—avoiding any activity that could interrupt memory formation like checking your emails or surfing the Internet. [IV] The remarkable memory-boosting benefits of undisturbed rest were first documented in 1900 by the German psychologist Georg Elias Muller.

In the end, the participants given the break remembered nearly 50 percent of the 2 lists, compared to an average of 28 percent for the other group. More recent research has also replicated Muller’s finding in many different contexts. For example, a study found that these short periods of rest can also improve our spatial memory, for instance – helping people better recall the location of different landmarks. Crucially, this advantage lasts for a week after the original learning task, and seems to benefit participants of all ages. And in all cases, they simply let their minds wander in a quiet room without distraction when they rest. However, we should be careful as we daydream. This is because in another experiment, participants were asked to imagine a past or future event during their break, and this appeared to reduce their later recall of new material. So it may be safest to avoid any concerted mental effort as we rest. How this effect works is still not clearly understood, though some clues come from a growing understanding of memory formation. It is now well accepted that once memories are initially encoded, they pass through a period of consolidation that slowly transfers them into your long-term memory. This was once thought to happen primarily during sleep, with heightened communication between the hippocampus – where memories are first formed – and the cortex, starting a process that quickly builds and strengthens the neural connections needed for later recall. But it seems that comparable brain activity can occur during periods of wakeful rest as well. The next time you need to study a large amount of information for an exam, it’s worth remembering that just like your smartphones, your brain also needs a regular period of recharging to work properly. After all, even slight improvements in your memory could make the vital difference between a grade or two.

After all, even slight improvements in your memory could make the vital difference between a grade or two.

Researchers have not clearly understood memory formation yet despite having clues.

Muller was the first person to study the memory-improving impacts of undisturbed rest.

In Muller’s experiment, those who did not rest performed worse than those who did.

When asked to imagine an event during breaks, people’s memory is negatively affected.

Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? "After memories are first formed, they are rapidly stored in long-term memory through a consolidation phase."

Memories must go through a process to become permanent, slowly moving into long-term storage.

Once memories are made, they are instantly stored in long-term memory after a brief consolidation.

Initial memories are permanently stored as soon as they are encoded, without any consolidation process.

After memories are first formed, they are rapidly stored in long-term memory through a consolidation phase.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? " [I] When trying to memorise new things, it’s easy to assume that the more work we put in, the better we will perform. [II] But just try dimming the lights and enjoying 10-15 minutes of silence, and you may find that your memory of what you have learnt is far better.

When we sleep, information is sent into our long-term memory more quickly.

The hippocampus only communicates with the cortex while we sleep or rest.

Neural connections formed in our brain during sleep are the strongest ones.

Scientists used to believe that wakeful rest can reduce neural connections.

A quiet, undisturbed break can enhance memory retention, as shown by both historical and recent research on avoiding distractions during rest.

Memory performance primarily relies on the amount of effort put into studying, suggesting that more practice yields better results.

Taking regular breaks filled with stimulating activities, such as checking emails, can improve memory retention and boost recall ability.

Recent research proves that sleep is the only effective way to consolidate memories, and wakeful rest does not play a role in memory formation.
