these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the

tip of the iceberg or culture Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness

Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain "invisible" aspects of their culture exist

Invisible elements of culture are important to us For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behavior, what we consider beautiful or ugly These are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it When we meet other people whose invisible cultural

assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behavior as

wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we

would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us As a result, mutual

In most of the earliest books for childre n, illustrations were an afterthought But in the

Caldecott “toy books”, which first appeared in 1878, they were almost as important as the lines of

text, and occupied far more space in the book One can almost read the story from the dramatic action in the pictures

Since then, thousands of successful picture books have been published in the United States

and around the world In the best, the words and illustrations seem to complement each other

perfectly Often a single person, is responsible for both writing and illustrating the book One of the greatest, and certainly one of the most successful, illustrator-authors was Dr Seuss, whose real name

was Theodor Geisel His first children’s book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, hit the

market in 1937, and the world of children’s literature was changed forever Seuss’s playful drawings

were a perfect complement to his engaging stories and unforgettable characters In 1957, Seuss’s The

Cat in the Hat became the first book in Random House’s best -selling series, Beginner Books, written

by Seuss and several other authors These combine outrageous illustrations of people, creatures, and plants, and playful stories written in very simple language

Dr Seuss is not the only well-known author-illustrator, of course There is Max Sendak, who

wrote and illustrated Where the Wild Things Are, the story of a little boy named Max, who becomes king of the fierce ( but funny) creatures that live in the Land of the Wilds Things Robert McCloskey

produced both the richly textured illustrations and delightful story of a family of ducks living

in downtown Boston, Make Ways for Ducklings Some books are produced by a collaborative author

artist team Author Margaret Wise Brown combined with illustrator Clement Hurd to produce two

delightful books loved by very young children, Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny Another

example is the husband-and-wife team of writer Audrey Wood and illustrator Don Wood, who were

responsible for King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub and The Napping House

Wordless and nearly wordless picture books have become popular With a little help, threeand year-olds can follow the sequence of events, and they can understand the stories suggested

four-in them The marvel of books with few or no words is that they allow children and their parents the opportunity to tell and retell the same stories over and over in their own words One of the most charming examples of a wordless book is Jan Omerod’sSunshine Barbara Berger’s Grandfather Twilight and David Weisner’s Tuesday are examples of books containing only a few words

U.S publishers have also drawn on illustrators from other countries whose original,

imaginative works have brought their different visions to American children’s books Among them are Leo Lionni from Italy, Feodor Rojankovsky from Russia, and Taro Yashimi from Japan

READING PASSAGE l

(1) In the exploration of the linguistic life cycle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn a second language in adulthood than a first language in childhood Most adults never completely master

a foreign language, especially in phonology - hence the ubiquitous foreign accent Their

development often “fossilizes” into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo

Of course, there are great individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of

exposure, quality of teaching, and plain talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the

best circumstances (7)Many explanations have been advanced for children’s superiority: they exploit Motherese (the simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children), make errors

unselfconsciously, are more motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and

have no first language to interfere But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known

Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age

(13)Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elisa Newport and her colleagues They tested Korean and Chinese-born students at the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in the United States The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them

containing some grammatical errors The immigrants who came to the United States between the

ages of 3 and 7 performed identically to American-born students Those who arrived between the

ages 8 and 15 did worse the later they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the

worst of all, and showed huge variability unrelated to their age of arrival

Question 31. The passage mainly discusses _

A. adult differences in learning a foreign language B. children’s ability to learn a language

Question 34. According to the passage, young children learn languages quickly for all of the following reasons EXCEPT

A. they make many mistakes B. they want to talk

C. their approach is flexible D. they frequently repeat words

Question 35. The word “set ” in the second paragraph could best be replaced by

A. fixed B. changed C. stable D. formed

Question 36. The word "unrelated” in the third paragraph is closet in meaning to

A. unfamiliar B. unclassified C. unidentified D. unconnected

Question 37. In the experiment in the passage, the psychologists discovered that _

A. most students have lived in the U.S for more than 10 years

B. older students were unable to learn English

C. young students learned English best

D. students who arrived late were worst of all

VII READING PASSAGE 2

(1) Broad-tailed hummingbirds often nest in quaking, slender deciduous trees with smooth green bark found in the Colorado Rockies of the Western United States After flying some 2,000 kilometers north from where they have wintered in Mexico, the hummingbirds need six weeks to build a nest incubate their eggs, and raise the chicks A second nest is feasible only if the first fails early in the season Quality, not quantity, is what counts in hummingbird reproduction

gray-(6) A nest on the lowest intact branch of an aspen will give a hummingbird a good view, a clear flight patch, and protection for her young Male hummingbirds claim feeding territories in open meadows where, from late May through June, they mate with females Corning to feed but take no part in nesting

Thus when the hen is away to feed, the nest is unguarded While the smooth bark of the aspen trunk generally offers a poor grip for the claws of a hungry squirrel or weasel, aerial attacks, from a hawk, owl, or gray jay, are more likely

(12) The choice of where to build a nest is based not only on the branch itself but also on what hangs over it A crooked deformity in the nest branch, a second, unusually close branch overhead, or proximity to part of a trunk bowed by a past ice storm are features that provide shelter and make for

an attractive nest site Scarcely larger than a halved golf ball, the nest is painstaking constructed of

spider webs and plant down, decorated and camouflaged outside with paper-like bits of aspen bark held together with more strands of spider silk By early June it will hold two pea-sized eggs, which each weigh one-seventh of the mother’s weight, and in sixteen to nineteen days, two chicks

Question 41. What aspect of broad-tailed hummingbird behavior does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Mating habits B. Selection of nest sites

C. Caring for the young D. Migration routes

A. If there is an unusually large supply of food

B. If the eggs arc destroyed early in the season

C. If the winner is unusually warm

D. If the chicks in the first nest hatch early

Question 43. The word “counts" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _

A. numbers B. estimates C. weighs D. matters

Question 44. According to the passage, which of the following is true of the male broad-tailed hummingbird?

A. It protects the nest while the female searches for food

B. It is not involved in caring for the chicks

C. It shares nesting duties equally with the female

D. It finds food for the female and the chicks

Question 45. It can be inferred from the passage that the broad-tailed hummingbirds’ eggs and chicks are most vulnerable to attack by

Question 46. Which of the following would be a good location for a broad-tailed hummingbird to build its nest?

A. A thick branch B. the longest branch of a tree

C. A branch near the top of a tree D. A protected branch

Question 47. The word “Scarcely” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to

A. obviously B barely C. consistently D. needlessly

Question 48. Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage as a nest-building material of the broad- tailed hummingbird?

A. Plant down B. Paper C. Spider webs D. Tree bark

Question 49. The author compares the size of the broad-tailed hummingbird’s nest to

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each

of the questions

Swine influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu and pig flu) is an infection of a host animal by any one

of several specific types of microscopic organisms called “swine influenza virus” A swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is usually hosted by (is endemic in) pigs As of 2009, the known SIV strains are the influenza C virus and the subtypes of the influenza A virus known as H1N1, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2 and H2N3 Swine influenza is common in pigs in the mid-western United States (and occasionally in other states), Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe

animal poses no risk of transmitting the virus when properly cooked If transmission does cause human

influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu People who work with pigs, especially people

with intense exposures, are at increased risk of catching swine flu In the mid-20th century, identification of influenza subtypes became possible, this allows accurate diagnosis of transmission to humans Since then, fifty confirmed transmissions have been recorded, rarely, these strains of swine flu can pass from human to human In humans, the symptoms of swine flu are similar to those of influenza and of influenza-like illness in general, namely chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, weakness and general discomfort

The 2009 flu outbreak in humans, known as “swine flu’, is due to a new strain of influenza A virus

subtype H1N1 that contains genes closely related to swine influenza The origin of this new strain is unknown However, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) reports that this strain has not been isolated in pigs This strain can be transmitted from human to human, and causes the normal symptoms of influenza

North Americans are familiar with the many “person on the street” interviews on local television news shows While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate

indication of public opinion First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location Thus, such examples can be biased in favor of commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which area the news people select Second, television interviews tend to

attract outgoing people who are willing to appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera A survey must be based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to

genuinely reflect a broad range of the population

In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions An effective survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it It must also be specific enough so that there are no problems in interpreting the results Even questions that are less structured must be carefully phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately

There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire Each of these forms of survey research has its advantages An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find

it more difficult to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written

questionnaire In addition, an interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject’s

underlying feelings and reasons However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent

Question 55 The writer of this passage is trying to

A: emphasize the importance of polls in American political life B: explain the principles of carrying out surveys

C: discuss the good and bad of the interview and the questionnaire D: explain what surveys are

Question 56 In paragraph 2, “they” refers to

A: opinions B: news shows C: outgoing people D: TV interviews

Question 57 According to the passage, one disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that

they

A: are not carefully worded B: are not based on a representative sampling C: reflect political opinions

D: are used only on television

Question 58 The word “intimidated” in paragraph 2 means

Question 59 According to paragraph 3, two important things for an effective survey are

A: Properly done samplings and carefully worded questions B: Specific questions and an interviewer’s ability to measure respondents’ feelings C: Simple questions and a high number of respondents

D: Understandable questions and a sociogist who is able to interpret the results

Question 60 As can be inferred from the passage, sociologists can be frustrated when

D: questionnaire are too expensive and difficult to distribute

Question 61 It can be inferred from the passage that

A: live interviews minimize the influence of the researcher B: live interviews are easier to interpret

C: live interviews are better than questionnaires D: both questionnaires and live interviews have their own advantages and disadvantages

Question 62 The word “probe” in paragraph4 is closest in meaning to

Question 63 All of the following terms are NOT defined in the passage EXCEPT

A: public opinion B: survey C: response rate D: representative sampling

Question 64 All of the following are listed as advantage of questionnaires EXCEPT
