<b>V. READING COMPREHENSION</b> (0.5 pt)



<i><b>Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.</b></i>


By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can substantially increase their
children's language development. It’s surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big
difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what
the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.


A study was done with two- to three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children
participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the
parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather
than yes/no questions. For example, the parents should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than, "Is the
doggie running away?". Experimental parents were also instructed in how to expand on their children's answers,
how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.


At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the
end of one month, the children in the experimental group tested 5,5 months ahead of the control group on a test
of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an
advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.


76. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.


B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.


C. Active children should read more. D. Verbal ability can easily be increased.
77. In line 2, what does Ifs refer to?


A. Parents increasing children's language development.
B. Reading techniques being simple.



C. Parents reading to children. D. Children's language development.


78. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about reading?
A. Do you see the elephant? C. What animals do you like?


B. Is the elephant in the cage? D. Shall we go to the zoo?
79. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group?


A. The training parents received. C. The books that were read.
B. The age of the children. D. The number of children.
80. What conclusion is best supported by the passage?


A. Parents should be trained to read to their children.


B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.


C. Children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively.
D. Children who read actively act six months older.

Many countries around the world have no caves. This is not because there are no hills or mountains in
those places. Some of the world largest mountains have no caves because they are not made of the right sort of
stone . But the low, limestone hills of north of English and the south of France are full of interesting caves.


For hundreds of years, people have enjoyed finding caves and going inside them. This sport is called
“caving” and the people who do it are called “cavers” Cave exploration began in Europe and even today most
cavers come from there. That is why we know so much about European cavers. But in many parts of the world

<b>V. READING COMPREHENSION</b> (0.5 pt)


<i><b>Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.</b></i>


By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can substantially increase their
children's language development. <b>It’s</b> surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big
difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what
the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.


A study was done with two- to three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children


participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the
parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather
than yes/no questions. For example, the parents should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than, "Is the
doggie running away?". Experimental parents were also instructed in how to expand on their children's answers,
how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.


At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on measures of language development, but at the
end of one month, the children in the experimental group tested 5,5 months ahead of the control group on a test
of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an
advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.


76. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.


B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.


C. Active children should read more. <b>D. Verbal ability can easily be increased.</b>

A. Do you see the elephant? <b>C. What animals do you like?</b>


B. Is the elephant in the cage? D. Shall we go to the zoo?


79. What was the difference between the control group and the experimental group?


<b>A. The training parents received. </b> C. The books that were read.
B. The age of the children. D. The number of children.
80. What conclusion is best supported by the passage?


A. Parents should be trained to read to their children.

Many countries around the world have no caves. This is not because there are no hills or mountains in
those places. Some of the world largest mountains have no caves because they are not made of the right sort of
stone . But the low, limestone hills of north of English and the south of France are full of interesting caves.


For hundreds of years, people have enjoyed finding caves and going inside them. This sport is called
“caving” and the people who do it are called “cavers” Cave exploration began in Europe and even today most
cavers come from there. That is why we know so much about European cavers. But in many parts of the world
there are hundreds of cavers which few people have ever visited. For example, there are many caves in Russia
and Afghanistan, in Albania and China. But not many cavers in those countries and it is often very difficult for
foreign cavers to get permission to visit.
