SECTION 2: CRITICAL REASONING

1. Questions 41-44 refer to the following text and the accompanying figure:

“PASS-PASS” is a game played by a single player.

The player has 16 tiles. One of the 8 letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H appears on each file. Each letter appears on exactly two tiles, so that the player actually has 8 pairs of identical tiles.

At the start of each game, the tiles are laid out in 7 adjacent stacks in the following manner:

The player sees only those letters on the tiles at the top of the stacks, and has no information about the other tiles. The object of the PASS-PASS game is to remove all of the tiles. One or two tiles may be removed during each move according to the following rules:

A. When the tiles at the top of two of the stacks have the same letter - these two tiles may be removed, and removing only one of them is forbidden.

B. When the letters G or H are on a tile at the top of a stack, and cannot be removed according to rule A - they can be removed alone.

If no legitimate move can be made, i.e. a move in accordance with the rules, the game ends.

Note: Each question refers to a different game, in which the tiles are in a different order.

41. At a certain stage in the game, the stacks look like this:

Which of the following sentences must be correct?

(A) The letter on the tile at the bottom of stack 2 is A or F

(B) The letter on the tile at the bottom of stack 3 is G

(C) No further moves can be made at the stage of the game described above

(D) Another 4 moves are needed in order to remove all of tiles

SECTION 3: VERBAL REASONING

1. Reading comprehension

First text: The European Union is not the only institution that prefers faceless technocrats to people with star power. The corporate world is increasingly rejecting imperial chief executives in favor of anonymous managers — bland and boring men and women who can hardly get themselves noticed at cocktail parties, let alone stop the traffic in Moscow and Beijing. Some of the world’s most powerful bosses are striking mainly for their blandness. Watch the parade of chief executives who appear on CNBC every day, or drop in to a high-powered conference, and you begin to wonder whether cloning is more advanced than scientists are letting on. It is true that there are a few more women and members of ethnic minorities at the top of companies than there used to be. But physical diversity has not translated into cultural diversity or intellectual vitality. Almost without exception, today’s bosses spout the same tired old management clichés — about the merits of doing well by doing right, the importance of valuing your workers, the virtues of sustainability and so forth. The women who were profiled in a recent article in the Financial Times about the “top 50 women in world business” were every bit as adept with the cliché as their male colleagues. The fashion for faceless chief executives is part of an understandable reaction against yesterday’s imperial bosses. Some broke the law and helped inspire a dramatic tightening of government regulation, in the form of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation. Others paid themselves like superstars but delivered dismal results. The turbulent business climate is another factor that encourages today’s chief executives to keep their heads down. Their average tenure has declined from ten years in the 1970s to six years today, and boards are becoming ever more likely to sack bosses if they get out of line, particularly in Europe. The financial crisis has also produced a wave of popular fury about over-paid executives and their unaccountable ways. In this sort of climate it is not just the paranoid, but the faceless, who survive. Facelessness — or at least humility — is also the height of fashion among management consultants and business gurus. Corporate headhunters are helping firms find “humble” bosses: the boss of Japan Airlines, for example, travels to work on the bus and pays himself less than his pilots. Yet there is surely a danger of taking all this too far. A low profile is no guarantee against corporate failure. In general, the corporate world needs its flamboyant visionaries and raging egomaniacs rather more than its humble leaders and corporate civil servants. Think of the people who have shaped the modern business landscape, and “faceless” and “humble” are not the first words that come to mind. The best ambassadors for business are the outsized figures who have changed the world and who feel no need to apologize for themselves or their calling. There is no long-term comparative advantage in being forgettable.

Second text:

In the heady progressive years of the early 20th century, few things were more alluring than the promise of scientific knowledge. In a world struggling with rapid industrialization, massive immigration, and chaotic urban growth, science and technology seemed to offer solutions to almost every problem. Newly created state colleges and universities devoted themselves almost entirely to scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Many Americans came to believe that scientific certainty could solve not only scientific problems, but could also reform politics, government, and business. Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world. In the aftermath of World War II, the academic world turned with new enthusiasm to humanistic studies, which seemed to many scholars the best way to ensure the survival of democracy and to resist tyranny. American scholars fanned out across much of the world—with support from the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright program, and the U.S. Information Agency—to promote the teaching of literature and the arts in an effort to make the case for democratic freedoms. In the America of our own time, the great educational challenge has become an effort to strengthen the teaching of what is now know as the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math). There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines. India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership. At the same time, perhaps inevitably, the humanities—while still popular in elite colleges and universities—have experienced a significant decline. Humanistic disciplines are seriously underfunded, not just by the government and the foundations but by academic institutions themselves. Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members at most institutions

21

and are often lightly regarded because they do not generate grant income and because they provide no obvious credentials for most nonacademic careers. There is no doubt that American education should be training more scientists and engineers and should be teaching scientific literacy to everyone else. Much of the hand-wringing among politicians about the state of American universities today is focused on the absence of "real world" education—which to a large degree means preparation for professional and scientific careers. But the idea that institutions or their students must decide between humanities and science is false. Our society could not survive without scientific and technological knowledge. But we would be equally impoverished without humanistic knowledge as well. Science and technology teach us what we can do. Humanistic thinking can help us understand what we should do. The humanities are not simply vehicles of aesthetic reward and intellectual inspiration, as valuable as those purposes are. Science and technology aspire to clean, clear answers to problems (as elusive as those answers might be). The humanities address ambiguity, doubt, and skepticism—essential underpinnings in a complex and diverse society and a turbulent world.
