Read the following passage about Beyond Surface Knowledge and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Deep learning goes far beyond merely memorizing facts and figures. It involves a thorough understanding of
concepts and their connections. When students engage in deep learning, they actively analyze information, make
connections between different ideas, and apply knowledge to real-world situations. For example, math students
understand formulas' purposes rather than just memorizing them.
This process requires dedication and a willingness to explore topics beyond their surface level, transforming basic
understanding into meaningful insights. Critical thinking plays a vital role in deep learning. Students must carefully
look at information, question what they read, and check if ideas are correct before making conclusions. Through this
process, learners develop the ability to find patterns and solve problems. For instance, science students question
experiments' outcomes and think about why things happen. This kind of thinking helps students remember and use
what they learn in different situations.
The application of knowledge is where deep learning truly shows its value. When applying ideas practically, learners
discover new perspectives. For example, when students use their knowledge of angles and measurements in a project,
like building a bridge model, they better understand these concepts. This hands-on experience helps them see what
they might have missed by just reading about it. Students also learn more when they try to use their knowledge to solve
real problems.
Continuous learning and reflection are essential parts of deep learning. By regularly checking what they know and
don't know, learners can find ways to improve. Many keep journals and review weekly. Regular practice transforms
basic knowledge into deep understanding. Students who follow this approach often find they can explain complex ideas
to others and use their knowledge in new situations. The key is to stay curious and keep asking questions about what
you're learning.
Question 23. Which of these is NOT mentioned as a way to learn deeply?
A. Making connections between different ideas B. Keeping reflective learning journals
C. Applying knowledge to hands-on projects D. Memorizing formulas without understanding
Question 24. The word "purposes" in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________.
A. functions B. applications C. irrelevance D. uses
Question 25. The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. students B. science students C. experiments D. outcomes
Question 26. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Weekly group discussions are essential for developing critical thinking skills
B. Students who keep journals and review weekly can improve their learning path
C. Memorization techniques are necessary when learning complex mathematical rules
D. Teachers must provide detailed feedback daily to ensure deep understanding grows
Question 27. The word "measurements" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by ________.
A. calculations B. parameters C. metrics D. dimensions
Question 28. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Regular evaluation of classroom tasks leads to better results
