Part A: Spot Dictation

Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same

passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words

you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in

your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.

the next

tech era. We’ve _______ (1) that gets us so much information that we’ve got

_______ (2) every

second, we’ve got computers and laptops, we’ve got personal organizers and

we’re just being

_______ (3) and every advance in technology seems to create more and more

communications at

us. We are sort of _______ (4).

Research suggests that all the multi-tasking may actually make our brains

_______ (5),

producing a world-wide increase in IQ _______ (6) and more in recent decades.

Is there any real

benefit in _______ (7) we now have to go through?

We’re not becoming a race of _______ (8), but many do think certain skills are

enhanced and

certain are not. You know the ability to _______ (9), to answer a dozen e-mails

in five minutes, or

to fill out _______ (10). That’s enhanced. But when someone is out there with

his kids _______

(11) or something like that, he’s got his cell phone in his pocket. He’s

always wondering, “Gee,

did I get a voicemail?” This might have negative effects _______ (12).

Creativity is something that happens slowly. It happens when your brain is just

_______ (13),

just playing, when it _______ (14) which you hadn’t thought of, or maybe you

have time to read a

book. You are a businessperson but you have time to _______ (15), or about a

philosopher and

something that happened long ago or something or some idea _______ (16).

Actually, it might

occur to you that you _______ (17) in that way, and so it’s this mixture of

unrelated ideas that

feeds your productivity, _______ (18). And if your mind is disciplined to

answer every e-mail, then

you don’t have time for that playful noodling. You don’t have time for

_______ (19). So I think

maybe we’re getting smarter in some senses, but over communication is _______

reflection.
