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
	In the exploration of the linguistic life circle, 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 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 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 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 U.S. The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them containing some grammatical error. The immigrants who came to the U.S. between the ages of three an seven 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 their age of arrival.
Question 36: The passage mainly discusses_______.
 	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
Question 37: From the passage, it can be inferred that “phonology” is the study ________.
	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
Question 38: According to the passage, young children learn languages quickly for all 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 39: The word 'unrelated' could be replaced by_______.
 	A. unconnected 	B. unfamiliar 	C. unclassified 	D. unidentified
Question 40: In the experiment in the passage, the psychologists discovered_______.
 	A. most students had lived in the U.S. for more than ten years
 	B. older students were unable to learn English
 	C. young students learn English best
 	D. students who arrived late were worst of all
Question 41: The word 'who' refers to_______.
 	A. Elissa Newport 	 B. Koreans 	C. students 	D. colleagues
Question 42: 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, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
	The body of an adult insect is subdivided into three sections, including a head, a three-segmentthorax, and segmented abdomen. Ordinarily, the thorax bears three pairs of legs and a single or double pair of wings. The vision of most adult insects is specialized through two large compound eyes and multiple simple eyes.
	Features of an insect’s mouth parts are used in classifying insects into types. Biting mouth parts, called mandibles, such as the mouth parts found in grasshoppers and beetles, are common among insects. Behind the mandibles are located the maxillae, or lower jaw parts, which serve to direct food into the mouth between the jaws. A labrum above and one below are similar to another animal’s upper and lower lips. In an insect with a sucking mouth function, the mandibles, maxillae, labrum, and labium are modified in such a way that they constitute a tube through which liquid such as water, blood, or flower nectar can be drawn. In a butterfly or moth, this coiled drinking tube is called theproboscis because of its resemblance, in miniature, to the trunk of an elephant or a very large nose. Composed chiefly of modified maxillae fitted together, the insect’s proboscis can be flexed and extended to reach nectar deep in a flower. In mosquitoes or aphids, mandibles and maxillae are modified to sharp stylets with which the insect can drill through surfaces like human or vegetable skin membranes to reach juice. In a housefly, the expanding labium forms a spongelike mouth pad that it can use to stamp over the surface of food, sopping up food particles and juices.
	Insects, the most numerous creatures on our planet, are also them most adaptable. They require little food because they are small. They easily find shelter and protection in small crevices in trees and surface geological formations. Species of insects can evolve quickly because of their rapid reproduction cycle; they live in every climate, some making their homes in the frozen Arctic regions and many others choosing the humid, warm, and nutrient-rich rain forest environment. An active part of the natural food cycle, insects provide nutrition for animals and devour waste products of other life forms.
