1 No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex By changingword sequences and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs and suffixes, we are able tocommunicate tiny variations in meaning We can turn a statement into a question, statewhether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other wordtricks to convey subtle differences in meaning Nor is this complexity inherent to theEnglish language All languages, even those of so-called 'primitive' tribes have clevergrammatical components The Cherokee pronoun system, for example, can distinguishbetween 'you and I', 'several other people and I' and 'you, another person and I' In English,all these meanings are summed up in the one, crude pronoun 'we' Grammar is universal andplays a part in every language, no matter how widespread it is So the question which hasbaffled many linguists is - who created grammar?
2 At first, it would appear that this question is impossible to answer To find out howgrammar is created, someone needs to be present at the time of a language's creation,documenting its emergence Many historical linguists are able to trace modern complexlanguages back to earlier languages, but in order to answer the question of how complex
Trang 11languages are actually formed, the researcher needs to observe how languages are started
from scratch Amazingly, however, this is possible.
3 Some of the most recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade At that time,slaves from a number of different ethnicities were forced to work together under colonizer's
rule Since they had no opportunity to learn each other's languages, they developed a shift language called a pidgin Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the
make-landowner They have little in the way of grammar, and in many cases it is difficult for alistener to deduce when an event happened, and who did what to whom [A] Speakers need
to use circumlocution in order to make their meaning understood [B] Interestingly, however,all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to beexposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue [C] Slave children did notsimply copy the strings of words uttered by their elders, they adapted their words to create anew, expressive language [D] It included standardized word orders and grammaticalmarkers that existed in neither the pidgin language, nor the language of the colonizers.Complex grammar systems which emerge from pidgins are termed creoles, and they areinvented by children
4 Further evidence of this can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf Signlanguages are not simply a series of gestures; they utilize the same grammatical machinerythat is found in spoken languages Moreover, there are many different languages usedworldwide The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua.Previously, all deaf people were isolated from each other, but in 1979 a new governmentintroduced schools for the deaf Although children were taught speech and lip reading in theclassroom, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gesturesthat they used at home It was basically a pidgin Each child used the signs differently, and
there was no consistent grammar However, children who joined the school later, when this
inventive sign system was already around, developed a quite different sign language.Although it was based on the signs of the older children, the younger children's language wasmore fluid and compact, and it utilized a large range of grammatical devices to clarifymeaning What is more, all the children used the signs in the same way A new creole wasborn
Trang 125 Some linguists believe that many of the world's most established languages were creoles atfirst The English past tense –ed ending may have evolved from the verb 'do' 'It ended' mayonce have been 'It end-did' Therefore it would appear that even the most widespreadlanguages were partly created by children Children appear to have innate grammaticalmachinery in their brains, which springs to life when they are first trying to make sense ofthe world around them Their minds can serve to create logical, complex structures, evenwhen there is no grammar present for them to copy.
86 In paragraph 1, why does the writer include information about the Cherokee language?
A To show how simple, traditional cultures can have complicated grammar structures
B To show how English grammar differs from Cherokee grammar

A The language has been created since 1979
B The language is based on speech and lip reading
C The language incorporates signs which children used at home
D The language was perfected by younger children
89 In paragraph 3, where can the following sentence be placed?
It included standardized word orders and grammatical markers that existed in neither the pidgin language, nor the language of the colonizers
90 'From scratch' in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:
A from the very beginning B in simple cultures
C by copying something else D by using written information
91 'Make-shift' in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:
Trang 13A complicated and expressive B simple and temporary
C extensive and diverse D private and personal
92 Which sentence is closest in meaning to the bold sentence?
Grammar is universal and plays a part in every language, no matter how
widespread it is.

B Some languages include a lot of grammar, whereas other languages contain a little
C Languages which contain a lot of grammar are more common that languages that contain a little
D The grammar of all languages is the same, no matter where the languages evolved
93 All of the following are features of the new Nicaraguan sign language EXCEPT:
A All children used the same gestures to show meaning
B The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language
C The hand movements were smoother and smaller
D New gestures were created for everyday objects and activities
94 Which idea is presented in the final paragraph?
A English was probably once a creole
B The English past tense system is inaccurate
C Linguists have proven that English was created by children
D Children say English past tenses differently from adults

Trang 14The pyramids are the most famous monuments of ancient Egypt and still hold enormousinterest for people in the present day These grand, impressive tributes to the memory of theEgyptian kings have become linked with the country even though other cultures, such as theChinese and Mayan, also built pyramids The evolution of the pyramid form has been writtenand argued about for centuries However, there is no question that, as far as Egypt isconcerned, it began with one monument to one king designed by one brilliant architect: theStep Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.
Section 2
Djoser was the first king of the Third Dynasty of Egypt and the first to build in stone Prior
to Djoser’s reign, tombs were rectangular monuments made of dried clay brick, whichcovered underground passages where the deceased person was buried For reasons whichremain unclear, Djoser’s main official, whose name was Imhotep, conceived of building ataller, more impressive tomb for his king by stacking stone slabs on top of one another,progressively making them smaller, to form the shape now known as the Step Pyramid.Djoser is thought to have reigned for 19 years, but some historians and scholars attribute amuch longer time for his rule, owing to the number and size of the monuments he built
Section 3
The Step Pyramid has been thoroughly examined and investigated over the last century, and
it is now known that the building process went through many different stages HistorianMarc Van de Mieroop comments on this, writing ‘Much experimentation was involved,which is especially clear in the construction of the pyramid in the center of the complex Ithad several plans … before it became the first Step Pyramid in history, piling six levels ontop of one another … The weight of the enormous mass was a challenge for the builders,who placed the stones at an inward incline in order to prevent the monument breaking up.’
Section 4
When finally completed, the Step Pyramid rose 62 meters high and was the tallest structure
of its time The complex in which it was built was the size of a city in ancient Egypt andincluded a temple, courtyards, shrines, and living quarters for the priests It covered a region
of 16 hectares and was surrounded by a wall 10.5 meters high The wall had 13 false doorscut into it with only one true entrance cut into the south-east corner; the entire wall was then
Trang 15ringed by a trench 750 meters long and 40 meters wide The false doors and the trench wereincorporated into the complex to discourage unwanted visitors If someone wished to enter,
he or she would have needed to know in advance how to find the location of the true opening
in the wall Djoser was so proud of his accomplishment that he broke the tradition of havingonly his own name on the monument and had Imhotep’s name carved on it as well
Section 5
The burial chamber of the tomb, where the king’s body was laid to rest, was dug beneath thebase of the pyramid, surrounded by a vast maze of long tunnels that had rooms off them todiscourage robbers One of the most mysterious discoveries found inside the pyramid was alarge number of stone vessels Over 40,000 of these vessels, of various forms and shapes,were discovered in storerooms off the pyramid’s underground passages They are inscribedwith the names of rulers from the First and Second Dynasties of Egypt and made fromdifferent kinds of stone There is no agreement among scholars and archaeologists on whythe vessels were placed in the tomb of Djoser or what they were supposed to represent Thearchaeologist Jean-Philippe Lauer, who excavated most of the pyramid and complex,believes they were originally stored and then give a ‘proper burial’ by Djoser in his pyramid
to honor his predecessors There are other historians, however, who claim the vessels weredumped into the shafts as yet another attempt to prevent grave robbers from getting to theking’s burial chamber
Section 6
Unfortunately, all of the precautions and intricate design of the underground network did notprevent ancient robbers from finding a way in Djoser’s grave goods, and even his body,were stolen at some point in the past and all archaeologists found were a small number of hisvaluables overlooked by the thieves There was enough left throughout the pyramid and itscomplex, however, to astonish and amaze the archaeologists who excavated it
Section 7
Egyptologist Miroslav Verner writes, ‘Few monuments hold a place in human history assignificant as that of the Step Pyramid in Saqqara … It can be said without exaggeration thatthis pyramid complex constitutes a milestone in the evolution of monumental stonearchitecture in Egypt and in the world as a whole.’ The Step Pyramid was a revolutionary
Trang 16advance in architecture and became the archetype which all the other great pyramid builders
of Egypt would follow
