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 36 to 40

    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.

    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 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 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 of 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 the age of arrival.

36. The passage mainly discusses _______.

A. adults differences in learning a foreign language 

B. children’s ability to learn a language

C. the age factor in learning language fast 

D. research into language acquisition

37. From the passage, it can be inferred that “phonology” is the study of _______.

A. the grammar of a language       

B. the rules of a language

C. the vocabulary of a language 

D. the sound system of a language

38. The word “cap” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.

A. prize                                  

B. limit             

C. covering                 

D. level

39. According to the passage, young children learn language 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

40. In the experiment in the passage, the psychologists discovered that _______. 

A. most students had 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

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 following questions from 31 to 35.

Anthropologists have pieced together the little they know about the history of left - handedness and right - handedness from indirect evidence. Though early men and women did not leave written records, they did leave tools, bones, and pictures. Stone Age hand axes and hatchets were made from stones that were carefully chipped away to form sharp cutting edges. In some, the pattern of chipping shows that these tools and weapons were made by right handed people, designed to fit comfortably into a right hand. Other Stone Age implements were made by or for left-handers Prehistoric pictures, painted on the walls of caves, provide further clues to the handedness of ancient people. A right - hander finds it easier to draw faces of people and animals facing toward the left, whereas a left - hander finds it easier to draw faces facing toward the right. Both kinds of faces have been found in ancient painting. On the whole, the evidence seems to indicate that prehistoric people were either ambidextrous or about equally likely to be left or right-handed.

But, in the Bronze Age, the picture changed. The tools and weapons found from that period are mostly made for right - handed use. The predominance of right - handedness among humans today had apparently already been established.

A. The purpose of ancient implements

B. The significance of prehistoric cave paintings

C. The development of right - handedness and left - handedness

B. Patterns of stone chipping

C. Fossilized waste material

C. artistic                          

D. factual

A. upward                        

B. downward                   

C. toward the right           

D. toward the left

Question 35: In line 11, the words "the picture" refer to which of the following?

A. Faces of animals and people   

B. People's view from inside a cave

C. People's tendency to work with either hand

D. The kinds of paint used on cave walls

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.

Until the 19^th century, the denial of equal rights to women met with only occasional protest and drew little attention from most people. Because most women lacked the educational and economic resources that would enable them to challenge the prevailing social order, women generally accepted their inferior status as their only option. At this time, women shared these disadvantages with the majority of working class men, as many social, economic, and political rights were restricted to the wealthy elite [phần tử ưu tú]. In the 19^th century, as governments in Europe and North America began to draft new laws guaranteeing equality among men, significant numbers of women – and some men – began to demand that women be accorded equal rights as well.

At the same time, the Industrial Revolution in Europe and North America further divided the roles of men and women. Before the Industrial Revolution most people worked in farming or crafts-making, both of which took place in or near the home. Men and women usually divided the numerous tasks among themselves and their children. Industrialization led male workers to seek employment outside of the home in factories and other large-scale [extensivve]enterprises. The growing split between home and work reinforced the idea that women’s “rightful place” was in the home, while men belonged in the public world of employment and politics.

Organized efforts by women to achieve greater rights occurred in two major waves. The first wave began around the mid-19^th century, when women in the United States and elsewhere campaigned to gain suffrage [ right to vote in political elections]– that is, the right to vote. This wave lasted until the 1920s, when several countries granted women suffrage.
