II. READING (35 PTS)


PART A: READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE
QUESTIONS (10 PTS)
A popular enlightenment

Alternative medicine has never enjoyed such popularity and respect as it does today.
Therapies once dubbed 'pseudoscience' or 'quackery' are now typically referred to as
'alternative', complementary or holistic. Practices that used to circulate on the fringes are
now accepted as mainstream. But the rise of alternative medicine poses a problem for
defenders of science. Many see the fight-back as a lost cause, but I cannot share this view
because the factors that allow quackery to prosper can and are being harnessed for a
counter-revolution in defense of science itself.

In the past, those exploring alternative lifestyles joined groups of like-minded people and
subscribed to counter-cultural magazines. They now participate in online communities and
surf the Internet, where they encounter alternative websites and blogs by the dozen, but also
come across mainstream scientific viewpoints. In other words, the defense of science Is also
increasingly being undertaken by members of the public because the web has proved to be
a crucial mobilising instrument for pro-science activists. Such defense was once conducted
primarily by scholars; today the battle Is often fought at an individual level via cut-and-thrust
debate in blog postings. This social phenomenon of 'angry nerds' and 'guerrilla bloggers',
dedicated to defending evidence-based medicine and challenging quackery, is important.
Rather than relying on scientists to defend the boundaries of science, we are seeing a much
more socially embedded struggle - a popular enlightenment project. Can such a project
work? Reasserting goals of progress through reason and evidence is one thing, but whether
it has any effect remains an open question. How easy is It to persuade people through
factual corrections?

The answer seems to depend a great deal on the individual. For example, according to
recent research, providing people who are ideologically committed to a particular view with
incongruent information can backfire by causing them to dig their heels in and support their
original argument even more strongly. This problem is a general one. A substantial body of
psychological research suggests that humans tend to seek out and evaluate information that
reinforces their existing views. The digital revolution has exacerbated the problem because,
as journalist Farhad Manjoo writes, "whenever you want; seek out and discuss, in
exhaustive and insular detail, the kind of news that pleases you; and indulge your political,
social or scientific theories... among people who feel exactly the same way”.

I believe such pessimism goes too far, though. [A] However, the world has yet to enter what
political scientist Michael Barkun of Syracuse University in New York calls 'complete
epistemological pluralism'. [B] Indeed, the fact that quacks keep trying to get the imprimatur
of science for their discredited ideas, by trying to publish their work in peer-viewed journals,
for examples, speaks to the continued public prestige and power of science. [C]
Furthermore, their support base is far from fixed in stone. Some people are so committed to
unorthodox views that they cannot be moved, but they are the exception. [D] In general,
people motivated to explore the 'cultic milieu' - that fluid countercultural space in which
alternative therapies and conspiracy theories flourish - are open to changing their minds.

In his seminal work on the cultic milieu, sociologist Colin Campbell of York University in the
UK,
stresses that it is not a space where firm opinions are held but rather a "society of seekers' -
people who do not necessarily cease seeking when a revealed truth is offered to them?.
This creates the space for pro-science activists to compete for attention. When they do so,
the Internet becomes a tougher place for people to sequestrate themselves in a comfortable
cocoon of the like-minded. This is good news for the enlightenment project. People may be
biased in favour of interpretations that align with their prejudices but this does not mean that
they just believe what they like. Faced with information of sufficient quantity or clarity, people
do change their minds. So the challenge for the pro-science movement is to keep an active
and credible online presence. The web is an anarchic space where defense of science
ranges from ridicule and banter to serious discussion about findings along with links to
scientific articles and reports. It looks, in other words, like that space that used to be the
preserve of the cultic milieu - but with greater informational depth. The weapons of science
and reason are still very much in contention.
1. The writer expresses disapproval of scientists who:
A. overlook the significance of alternative medicine.
B. embrace the ideas put forward by proponents of alternative medicine.
C. use pejorative language to refer to alternative medicine.
D.abandon attempts to challenge claims made by alternative medicine.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned?
A. the transition of alternative medicine from "quackery' to mainstream
B. the expansion of pro-science groups from academic settings to online
platforms
C. the inclusion of laypersons into supporters of science
D the diversification of magazines into counter-culture
3. Which of the following statements best clarifies the sentence "The answer seems to
depend a great deal on the individual" in the passage?
A. People who have amour propre are narrow-minded and therefore unable to
accept contradictory proof, unlike their open-minded counterparts.
B. People with an idée fixe are confined to their personal unconventional
viewpoints, while those
interested in a counter-cultural space are more willing to modify their opinions.
C. Ideologues are devoid of the ability to change their mind, whereas those eager
to explore the 'cultic milieu' are more susceptible to changes in opinions.
D. Those with idiocy are resistant to shifts in their opinions, but whoever
motivated enough are open to leave their viewpoints changed.
4. The use of the quote by a journalist in the passage suggests that the Internet is a
meeting place for:
A people with very fixed viewpoints to support each other
B. pro-science activists attempting to defame alternative medicine
C. users seeking reinforcement of their ideologies
D. amateurs desiring to corroborate their beliefs with facts

D. [D]
7. According to the passage, how the Internet has assisted pro-scientists in their
attempts to defend their principles?
A. It has become a place for discussions about complementary medicine held by
its supporters.
B. It has caused people to be exposed to viewpoints to the contrary, not just
similar opinions as theirs.
C. It has tarnished the fame of alternative medicine and eased criticism levelled
at science-based
medicine.
D. It has fuelled passion for science in scholars and scientists alike.
8. The writer emphasizes the need for pro-scientists to
A. cite relevant data on any discussions on the Internet.
B. avoid getting engaged in heated discussions with laypersons on the Internet.
C. maintain the integrity and exposure of scientific viewpoints on the Internet.
D. recede from any discussion which is getting more fiery.
9. From the passage, it can be inferred that:
A. Concepts behind alternative medicine have been roundly castigated by people
of the public.
B. Attempts to belabor the point that complementary medicine remains quackery
have been to no avail.
C. The social phenomenon instigated by debates between alternative and
science-based medicine has culminated in the victory for the latter.
D.The enlightenment project entails people with prejudices altering their views.

PARAGRAPH TO FILL IN EACH OF THE BLANKS (1-5). THERE IS ONE PARAGRAPH YOU
DO NOT NEED TO USE (5 PTS)
From cake smeared over the “Mona Lisa" to soup splashed over “Sunflowers,” recent
climate protests at art galleries have grabbed international headlines but also raise
questions about the effectiveness of these high-profile guerrilla tactics.

11._______________________________________________________________________

Two men wearing “Just Stop Oil” T-shirts jumped the rope separating the priceless 1665
Dutch masterpiece from the public at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague on Thursday. A
video posted on Twitter showed one of them pouring a can of a red substance over the
other, who then appeared to attempt to glue his head to the glass-protected painting.

12._______________________________________________________________________

Like the other targeted artworks, the painting was not damaged by the stunt, which came a
day after a report from the United Nations found that the world is on track to increase
greenhouse gas emissions — widely believed to be responsible for human-caused climate
change — by 10.6% compared with 2010 levels.

13._______________________________________________________________________

Saltmarsh, who was not connected with the protests, said that they had an immediate payoff
in terms of successfully gaining media coverage, but he questioned their long term
effectiveness. “It’s superficially radical and disruptive but is not part of a long-term, coherent
strategy for building communities and power,” he said. But Colin Sterling, an assistant
professor of heritage and museum studies at the University of Amsterdam, said the protests
had the potential to remain in the public consciousness for a long time.

14._______________________________________________________________________
The annual United Nations climate change conference, known as COP27, which this year
will be held in Egypt in November, was a kind of galvanizing force across many different
dimensions of the climate movement, Sterling said, adding that there was “always an uptick
in actions” around the time of the conference. But he said that war in Ukraine, the cost of
living and energy crises had added urgency to the protests.

15._______________________________________________________________________

British Foreign Minister James Cleverly was more blunt after activists threw soup on Van
Gogh’s “Sunflowers” at the National Gallery in London earlier this month. “Let’s stop giving
these attention-seeking adult toddlers the coverage they clearly crave,” he said on Twitter.

A. Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” was the latest painting to fall victim to art-based
activism, which has seen environmental campaigners target famous artworks, almost
always with cheap food products, to draw attention to the usage of fossil fuels.
B. While politicians have taken note of the protests, they have tended to criticize the way
they have been carried out. “Demonstrating is a great thing and everyone has the right
to make a point. But please: leave our shared heritage alone. Attacking defenseless
works of art is not the right way,” Gunay Uslu, the Dutch culture and media minister
tweeted Thursday.
C. On Wednesday the British government passed a public order bill designed to make
protests, such as those seen in art galleries and disruptive actions on roads, more
difficult for activists who will face harsher sentences if prosecuted.
D. “The aim of a lot of these actions is to get a platform that thousands or more people are
watching so that they can communicate very clear lines — that the climate crisis is
happening, it’s bad, and we all need to wake up,” Chris Saltmarsh, a climate activist and
author of “Burnt: Fighting for Climate Justice” told NBC News on the telephone Friday.
E. “How do you feel when you see something beautiful and priceless being apparently
destroyed before your very eyes?” one of the men, who has yet to be identified, said with
his hand stuck to the wall. “That is that same feeling when you see the planet being
destroyed,” he said later.
F. The “Rokeby Venus,” slashed multiple times with a butcher’s knife by women’s rights
activist Mary Richardson at the National Gallery in London in 1914, “is still discussed
today,” he said. He said that the image of the ruptured painting by Diego Velasquez was
“on the cover of books as a moment of iconoclastic protest.”

III. ERROR CORRECTION: IDENTIFY THE FIVE MISTAKES IN THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE
AND CORRECT THEM (5 PTS)
1 Ball lightning is a meteorological phenomenon as perplexing as it is astounding.
2 Resembling a glowing sphere, ball lightning moves erratically, emitting sparks, burning
3 obstacles in its path and, while not intrinsically deadly, occasionally even killing people.
4 Following a lightning strike, such a sphere, sometimes as large as a football, can hover
5 above the ground for up to a minute, and even drift through walls before fading away or
6 violently dissipating with a small explosion. Shining as brightly as a 100-watt bulb, ball
7 lightning does not radiate heat, yet can melt a glass window on contact. Although still
8 dismissed by some skeptics as implausible, there is sufficient evidence of ball
9 lightning, including over 10,000 eyewitness reports, to convince scientists of its existence.
10 Among the numerous sights is an account of a luminous ball destroying the door of a
11 house, then navigating its way inside to wreck further damage. In another incident, a
12 hissing, glowing orb materialised during a thunderstorm, seemingly suspending above the
13 ground and vibrating with electricity. Most intriguingly perhaps, is the report of a radiant
14 sphere emerging through the wall of an airplane, drifting along the aisle and vanishing out
15 of the rear of the aircraft, much to the consternation of the passengers. Despite its
16 relatively consistent characteristics, ball lightning has thus far defied indisputable scientific
17 explanation, though several theories have been formulated. One, based on the physics of
18 electrical discharges, proposes that after lightning strikes, it should travel through
19 conductive channels in the ground, simultaneously creating an electrical field in the air.
20 Ball lightning is then formed from the electricity discharging in this field. Another hypothesis
21 maintains that the balls are clouds of a hot gas called plasma, composed of charged
22 particles that recombine into atoms and glow with light. A bolt of lightning could
23 theoretically create such clouds.
