Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on our answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
In the explosion 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
Many explanations have been advanced for children’s superiority; they exploit Motherese (the simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children), make errors unself-consciously, are
more motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have not first language
to interfere But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how language acquisition works Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into doubt Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age
Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elissa Newport and her colleagues They tested
Korean and Chinese – born students at the University of Illinois who had spent a least ten years in the
United States The immigrants were give a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them containing some grammatical error The immigrants who came to the United States between the age of 3 and 7 performed identically to American – born students Those who arrived between ages 8 and 15 did worse the latter 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 26: The passage mainly discussed
A adult differences in learning a foreign language
B children’s ability to learn a language
C the age factor in learning languages fast
D research into language acquisition

A he grammar of language
B the rules of a language

Question 29: 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 30: The word “unrelated” in paragraph 3 is closet in meaning to _
A unconnected B unfamiliar C unclassified D unidentified
Question 31: In the experiment in the passage, the Psychologists discovered _
A most students had lived in the U.S for more that 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
Question 32: The word “who” in paragraph 3 refers to _
A Elissa Newport B Koreans C students D colleagues
Question 33: According to the passage, what was the purpose of examining a sample number of
immigrants?
A To compare different age groups

D To measure the use of grammar
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on our answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
The time when human crossed the Arctic land bridge from Siberia to Alaska seems remote to us today, but actually represents a late stage in the prehistory of humans, an era when polished stone
implements and bows and arrows were already being used and dogs had already been domesticated
When these early migrants arrived in North America, they found the woods and plains
dominated by three types of American mammoths These elephants were distinguished from today’s elephants mainly by their thick, shaggy coats and their huge, upward-curving tusks They had arrived on the continent hundreds of thousands of years before their followers The woody mammoth in the North, the Columbian mammoth in middle North America, and the imperial mammoth of the South, together with their distant cousins the mastodons, dominated the land Here, as in the Old World, there is
Trang 5evidence that humans hunted these elephants, as shown by numerous spear points found with
mammoth remains
Then, at the end of the Ice Age, when the last glaciers had retreated, there was a relatively sudden and widespread extinction of elephants In the New World, both mammoths and mastodons disappeared In the Old World, only Indian and African elephants survived
Why did the huge, seemingly successful mammoths disappear? Were humans connected with
their extinction? Perhaps, but at that time, although they were cunning hunters, humans were still
widely settled and not very numerous It is difficult to see how they could have prevailed over the mammoth to such an extent
Question 34: With which of the following is the passage primarily concerned?
A Migration from Siberia to Alaska
B Techniques used to hunt mammoths
C The prehistory of humans
D The relationship between man and mammoth in the New World

Question 36: The phrase “these early migrants” in paragraph 2 refers to
Question 37: Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth?
A Alaska
B the central portion of North America
C the southern part of North America
D South America
Question 38: It can be inferred that when humans crossed into the New World, they
A had previously hunted mammoths in Siberia
B had never seen mammoth before
C brought mammoths with them from the Old World
D soon learned to use dogs to hunt mammoths
Question 39: Which of the following could be best substitute for the word “remains” in paragraph 2?
A bones B drawings C footprints D spear points
Question 40: The passage supports which of the following conclusions about mammoth
A Humans hunted them to extinction
B The freezing temperatures of the Ice Age destroyed their food supply
C The cause of their extinction is not definitely known
Trang 6D Competition with mastodons caused them to become extinct
