Native American Navajo nation which sprawls across four states in the American south-west, the native language is dying Most of its speakers are middle-aged or elderly Although many students take classes in Navajo, the schools are run in English Street signs, supermarket goods, and even their own newspaper are all in English Not surprisingly, linguists doubt that any native speakers of Navajo will remain in a hundred years’ time Navajo is far from alone Half the world’s 6,800 languages are likely to vanish within two generations; that's one language lost every ten days Never before has the planet’s linguistic diversity shrunk at such a pace Isolation breeds linguistic diversity as a result, the world is peppered with languages spoken by only a few people Only 250 languages have more than a million speakers, and at least 3000 have fewer than 2500 It is not necessarily these small languages that are about to disappear Navajo is considered endangered despite having 150,000 speakers What makes a language endangered is not the number of speakers, but how old they are If it is spoken by children it is relatively safe The critically endangered languages are those that are only spoken by the elderly, according to Michael Krauss, director of the Alaska Native Language Center, in Fairbanks Why people reject the language of their parents? It begins with a crisis of confidence when a small community finds itself alongside a larger, wealthier society, says Nicholas Ostler of Britain’s Foundation for Endangered Languages, in Bath “People lose faith in their culture,” he says “When the next generation reaches their teens, they might not want to be induced into the old tradition.” The change is not always voluntary Quite often, governments try to kill off a minority language by banning its use in public or discouraging its use in school, all to promote national unity The former US policy of running Indian reservations in English, for example, effectively put languages such as Navajo on the danger list But Salikoko Mufwene, who chairs the Linguistics Department at the University of Chicago, argues that the deadliest weapon is not government policy but economic globalization “Native Americans have not lost pride in their language, but they have had to adapt to socio-economic pressures,” he says “They cannot refuse to speak English if most commercial activity is in English.” However, a growing interest in cultural identity may prevent the direct predictions from coming true ‘The key to fostering diversity is for people to learn their ancestral tongue, as well as the dominant language’ says Doug Whalen, founder, and president of the Endangered Language Fund in New Haven, Connecticut “Most of these will not survive without a large degree of bilingualism,” he says Question 31 What is the main idea of this passage? A To describe how diverse languages were in the past B To explain the importance of preserving endangered languages C To explain why more and more languages disappear D To point out that many languages are in danger of extinction Question 32 Who thinks that a change of language may mean a loss of traditional culture? A Doug Whalen B Michael Krauss C Nicholas Ostler D Salikoko Mufwene Question 33 The word peppered in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A randomly separated B slowly attacked C sparsely distributed D Unintentionally controlled Question 34 The word “these” in paragraph refers to _ A ancestral tongue B dominant language C growing interest in cultural identity D the key to fostering diversity Question 35 Which statement is NOT supported by the information in the passage? A A large number of native speakers fail to guarantee the survival of a language B National governments could more to protect endangered languages C The loss of linguistic diversity is inevitable D Young people often reject the established way to live in their community 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 42 Continents and ocean basins represent the largest identifiable bodies on Earth On the solid portions of the planet, the second most prominent features are flat plains, elevated plateaus, and large mountain ranges In geography, the term “continent” refers to the surface of continuous landmasses that together comprise about 29.2% of the planet’s surface On the other hand, another definition is prevalent in the general use of the term that deals with extensive mainlands, such as Europe or Asia, that actually represent one very large landmass Although all continents are bounded by water bodies or high mountain ranges, isolated mainlands, such as Greenland and India-Pakistan areas are called subcontinents In some circles, the distinction between continents and large islands lies almost exclusively in the size of a particular landmass The analysis of compression and tension in the earth’s crust has determined that continental structures are composed of layers that underlie continental shelves A great deal of disagreement among geologists surrounds the issue of exactly how many layers underlie each landmass because of their distinctive mineral and chemical composition It is also quite possible that the ocean floor rests on the top of unknown continents that have not yet been explored The continental crust is believed to have been formed by means of a chemical reaction when lighter materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists can speculate that a chemical split occurred to form the atmosphere, seawater, and the crust before it solidified many centuries ago Although each continent has its special features, all consist of various combinations of components that include shields, mountain belts, intracratonic basins, margins, volcanic plateaus, and block vaulted belts The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to the continent’s size Climatic zones have a crucial effect on the weathering and formation of the surface features, soil erosion, soil deposition, land formation, vegetation, and human activities Mountain belts are elongated narrow zones that have a characteristic folded sedimentary organization of layers They are typically produced during substantial crustal movements, which generate faulting and mountain building When continental margins collide, the rise of a marginal edge leads to the formation of large mountain ranges, as explained by the plate tectonic theory This process also accounts for the occurrence of mountain belts in ocean basins and produces evidence for the ongoing continental plate evolution Question 36 What topic does the passage mainly discuss? \ A Continental drift and division B Various definitions of the term “continent” C Continental structure and crust D Scientific analyses of continental crusts Question 37 The word “bounded” is closest in meaning to _ A covered B convened C delimited D dominated Question 38 The basic differences among continents lie in the proportion and the composition of these features relative to _ A the continent’s size B the planet’s surface C layers that underlie continental shelves D the crust Question 39 The word “specifics” is closest in meaning to _ A specialties B speculations C exact details D precise movements Question 40 The phrase “This process” refers to _ A continental collision B mountain ranges C the rise of margins D plate tectonic theory Question 41 Which of the following is NOT true about the differences in the structure of continents? A The proportional size of continents to one another B Ratios of major components and their comparative size C The distinctive features of their elements D Climatic zones and their effect on the surface features Question 42 The author of the passage implies that _ A it is not known exactly how the continental crust was formed B geologists have neglected the exploration of the ocean floor C scientists have concentrated on monitoring earthquakes D the earth’s atmosphere split into water and solids Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to show the underlined part that needs correction in each of the following questions Question 43: The company (A) has decided that around 20% of (B) its workforce will have to be (C) laid off until the economic situation (D) improved Question 44: The students (A) were hugely excited when they (B) heard that their favourite pop singer (C) is going to visit (D) him at the school Question 45: I (A) have found the best way to give advise to your children is (B) to find out (C) what they want and then advise them (D) to it Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the sentence that is closest in meaning to each of the following questions Question 46: Having put his entire career at stake with his proposal, he nervously awaited the committee's decision A He waited confidently for the committee to decide about the future of his proposal B Waiting nervously for the committee’s decision, he realized that they could make or break his career C He was risking his entire career with his scheme, so he was anxious for the committee’s decision D The committee was going to decide whether his proposal had been worth risking his career for Question 47: You should have gone to the computer lab earlier, when there were fewer people A It was a good thing that you went to the computer lab before it got crowded B If you had gone to the computer lab earlier, you might have found fewer people there C It’s a shame you didn’t go to the computer lab before, when it wasn't so crowded D There are never very many people in the computer lab so early on in the day Question 48: "My company makes a large profit every year Why don't you invest more money in it?" my friend said to me A My friend persuaded me to invest more money in his company B My friend suggested his investing more money in his company C My friend instructed me how to put more money into his company D I was asked to invest more money in my friend’s company Question 49: I'm not sure that the Aziz Nesin Theatre Group's version of The Idiot appeals to me, even if my brother can babysit A Had my brother been able to babysit, I might have gone to see the Aziz Nesin Theatre Group’s version of The Idiot B If my brother agrees to babysit, we can go to the Aziz Nesin Theatre Group’s version of The Idiot, which I think you might enjoy C I probably wouldn’t have enjoyed Aziz Nesin Theatre Group’s version of The Idiot, but my brother couldn’t babysit for us anyway D My brother might be able to babysit, but even so, I’m not convinced that the Aziz Nesin Theatre Group’s version of The Idiot is something I would enjoy Question 50: Never before has Josephine, who is a student of Egyptology, been in a museum like this one A Before she became a student of Egyptology, Josephine didn’t use to visit museums like this B This is the first time that Josephine, who studies Egyptology, has been in a museum of this type C Josephine is a student of Egyptology, so she likes this museum, which she hasn’t visited before D Even though Josephine is an Egyptology student, she has never been to a museum that is similar to this one If you fall asleep now, you will dream If you study now, you will live your dream.” Ms Huyen ... visit museums like this B This is the first time that Josephine, who studies Egyptology, has been in a museum of this type C Josephine is a student of Egyptology, so she likes this museum, which... materials separated from heavier ones, thus settling at various levels within the crust Assisted by the measurements of the specifics within crust formations by means of monitoring earthquakes, geologists...
