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.
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 unselfconsciously, 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.

A. children’s ability to learn a language

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?
A. Migration from Siberia to Alaska
B. Techniques used to hunt mammoths
C. The prehistory of humans
D. The relationship between man and mammoth in the New World

A. tools
B. ornaments
C. houses

Question 36. The phrase “these early migrants” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. mammoths
B. humans
C. dogs
D. mastodons
Question 37. Where were the imperial mammoths the dominant type of mammoth?

A. Alaska
B. the central portion of North America
C. the southern part of North America
D. South America
Question 38. Which of the following could be best substitute for the word “remains” in paragraph
2?
A. bones
B. drawings
C. footprints
D. spear points

INTELLIGENCE TEST
Schools exams are, generally speaking, the first kind of tests we take. They find out how
much knowledge we have (39)________. But do they really show how intelligent we are? After all, isn’t

Intelligence is the speed at which we can understand and (41)________ to new situations and it is
usually tested by logic puzzles. Although scientists are now preparing advanced computer
technology that will be able to “read” our brains, for the present tests are still the most popular ways
of measuring intelligence. A person’s IQ is their intelligence as it is measured by a special test. The
most common IQ tests are run by Mensa, an organization that was founded in England in 1946. By
1976 it had 1300 members in Britain. Today there are 44000 in Britain and 100000 worldwide,
largely in the US. People taking the tests are judged in relation to an average score of 100, and those
score over 148 are entitled to join Mensa. This (42)________ at 2% of the population. Anyone from the
age of six can take the tests. All the questions are straightforward and most people can answer them
if (43)________ enough time. But that’s the problems – the whole point of the tests is that they’re
