Read the following passage and mark the letter A, 8, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. He was not a good artist, so he
invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That
was the first photograph.
The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another
Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his
pictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a
daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all
around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities, and mountains.
In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving
things. The process was not simple and photographers had to carry lots of film and processing equipment.
However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840, daguerreotype
artists were popular in most cities.
Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer. He took many portraits of famous people.
The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality. Brady was also the first
person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities.
They made the war seem more real and more terrible.
In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy film ready-made
in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film
immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later. They did not have to carry lots
of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.
With a small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They
took pictures of their families, friends, and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshots”.
Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also
used them. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings.
Some people began to think of photography as a form of art. They thought that photography could do
more than show the real world. It could also show ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them.
Within the first month of their lives, babies’ responses to the sound of the human voice will be different
from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli. They will stop crying when they hear a person
talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that an infant notices might
be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances. By
the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced
with rising and falling inflections. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can
influence babies’ emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language
comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate
new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult
speech.
Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues. One
researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages,
the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds
into baby talk. Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few
months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their
facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.
More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that
tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. Other words, babies enter the
world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to
acquire aural language.

Trang
 Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen
to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is
a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults.

language?
