שאלה 1
Read the passage: "For centuries, the spice trade shaped global politics far more than most people today realize. Spices such as pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg were once so valuable in Europe that they were sometimes used as currency or even as a measure of wealth comparable to gold. This extraordinary value stemmed largely from geography: many of the most sought-after spices grew only in specific regions of South and Southeast Asia, forcing European traders to rely on long, dangerous routes controlled by intermediaries. The desire to bypass these intermediaries and access spices directly was a major motivation behind several famous voyages of exploration, including those seeking a sea route to Asia around Africa. Portuguese and later Dutch traders eventually established direct maritime routes, dramatically lowering spice prices in Europe and shifting economic power toward nations with strong navies. Ironically, the very success of these expeditions gradually reduced the extreme value of spices, since increased supply naturally drove prices down, illustrating how economic scarcity, not the spices themselves, had driven so much of history's ambition." Which of the following can be inferred from the passage, even though it is not stated directly?
אOnce spices became widely available and affordable, they likely stopped functioning as a symbol of wealth
בThe traditional model of a single, centralized brain does not fully explain how all animal intelligence works
גFeeling highly confident in one's abilities does not necessarily indicate a person is more competent than someone who doubts themselves
דSimplified statistics can become widely believed even without solid scientific verification behind them

שאלה 2
Read the passage: "Every cell in the human body follows an internal clock known as the circadian rhythm, a roughly twenty-four-hour cycle that regulates far more than just sleep. This internal timing system influences body temperature, hormone release, digestion, and even how effectively the immune system responds to threats at different times of day. The primary signal that keeps this internal clock synchronized with the outside world is light, particularly sunlight, which is detected by specialized cells in the eye and relayed to a small region of the brain that acts as the body's master clock. Modern lifestyles, with artificial lighting available at all hours and screens that emit blue light late into the night, can confuse this system, tricking the body into thinking it is still daytime when it should be preparing for sleep. Researchers studying shift workers, who often must work through the night against their body's natural rhythm, have found elevated rates of certain health problems, lending support to the idea that consistently working against one's circadian rhythm carries real physiological costs, not merely feelings of tiredness." Which of the following can be inferred from the passage, even though it is not stated directly?
אReducing exposure to artificial light at night may help keep the circadian rhythm better synchronized
בThe traditional model of a single, centralized brain does not fully explain how all animal intelligence works
גOnce spices became widely available and affordable, they likely stopped functioning as a symbol of wealth
דFeeling highly confident in one's abilities does not necessarily indicate a person is more competent than someone who doubts themselves

שאלה 3
Read the passage: "Impostor syndrome, a psychological pattern in which a person doubts their own accomplishments and harbors a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, was first described by psychologists in the late 1970s, initially based on observations of high-achieving women. Since then, research has shown that the experience is far more widespread, affecting people across genders, professions, and levels of accomplishment, including some of the most objectively successful individuals in their fields. What makes impostor syndrome particularly puzzling is that it does not correlate strongly with actual competence: highly skilled individuals often report feeling like impostors just as intensely as those with more modest achievements, suggesting the phenomenon has more to do with how people interpret their success than with the success itself. Some psychologists argue that impostor feelings can, ironically, coexist with genuine achievement precisely because capable people tend to have a clearer view of how much they still do not know, making their own accomplishments feel less impressive by comparison to the vast scope of their field." Which of the following can be inferred from the passage, even though it is not stated directly?
אNot all forms of urban farming are equally cost-effective or environmentally beneficial
בFeeling highly confident in one's abilities does not necessarily indicate a person is more competent than someone who doubts themselves

Read the passage: "As cities around the world continue to grow, urban farming has emerged as more than just a trend among hobbyists; it is increasingly viewed as a practical response to challenges in food security and environmental sustainability. Rooftop gardens, vertical farming towers, and repurposed warehouse spaces now produce vegetables, herbs, and even fish within city limits, dramatically shortening the distance food travels from farm to table. Proponents argue this reduces transportation emissions and provides fresher produce to urban residents who might otherwise live in so-called food deserts, areas with limited access to affordable, healthy food. However, urban farming faces real limitations: the initial cost of specialized equipment, such as climate-controlled vertical farming systems, can be prohibitively expensive, and the energy required to power artificial lighting sometimes offsets the environmental benefits of shorter transportation. Critics also note that urban farms, even at scale, can only supply a small fraction of a city's total food needs, meaning they should be viewed as a valuable supplement to traditional agriculture rather than a wholesale replacement for it."
