Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

         Mr. Faugel was convinced that students’ nervousness had affected their scores; to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test. Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nationwide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugel's non-beta blocker group.

           Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.

The expression “readministration” in this passage refers to _________.

A. giving the test again to both groups after beta blockers have been administered to one group.

Đáp án chính xác

B. giving the test again to people without administering beta blockers.

C. giving the beta blockers without retesting.

D. giving the test to both groups of test-takers and then giving them beta blockers.

Đáp án A

“Readministration” nói đến việc_________.

A. tổ chức tái kiểm tra cả hai nhóm sau khi thuốc chẹn Beta đã được dùng bởi một nhóm.

B. tổ chức tái kiểm tra cho những ai không dùng thuốc chẹn Beta.

C. cho dùng thuốc chẹn Beta mà không tái kiểm định.

D. tổ chức kiểm tra cho tất cả thí sinh và cho chúng dùng thuốc chẹn Beta.

“to reduce the anxiety of these students who had already been tested, he gave 22 of them a beta blocker before readministration of the test.”

(để giảm căng thẳng cho các em học sinh đã làm bài thi, ông cho 22 em trong số chúng dùng thuốc chẹn Beta trước khi tái kiểm tra.)

Như vậy, trước lúc tái kiểm tra, có một nhóm 22 em đã dùng thuốc và một nhóm 8 em còn lại không dùng.

Dễ thấy A đúng.

Tái kiểm định diễn ra, với cả 2 nhóm và sau khi chúng đã dùng thuốc nên C, B và D sai.
