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 B. children’s ability to learn a language
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 _____ D. colleagues
A. Elissa Newport B. Koreans C. students
Question 33: According to the passage, what was the purpose of examining a sample number of immigrants?
A. To compare different age groups B. To detect differences in nationalities
C. To confirm different language characteristics 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 evidence
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?
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word (s) for
