more women were working; young married couples were buying automobiles or houses before starting families; rising living standards were cutting down the size of families It appeared that Canada was once more falling in step with the trend toward smaller families that had occurred all through the Western world since the time of the Industrial Revolution Although the growth in Canada’s population had slowed down by 1966 (the increase in the first half of the 1960’s was only nine percent), another large population wave was coming over the horizon It would be composed of the children who were born during the period of the high birth rate prior to 1957 Question 56 It can be inferred from the passage that before the Industrial Revolution _ A economic conditions were bad B population statistics were unreliable C the population grew steadily D families were larger Question 57 The word “five” in paragraph refers to A Canadians B decades C years D marriages Question 58 The author suggests that in Canada during the 1950’s A the urban population decreased rapidly B fewer people married C the birth rate was very high D economic conditions were poor Question 59 The author mentions all of the following as causes of declines in population growth after 1957 EXCEPT A people getting married earlier B people being better educated C better standards of living D couples buying houses Question 60 The word “surging” in paragraph is closest in meaning to A accelerating B extra C new D surprising Question 61 What does the passage mainly discuss?

If language is not mastered during the preschool years, is the child’s capacity to acquire it reduced? Inspired by observations of imprinting, in 1969 the British psychoanalyst John Bowlby applied ethological theory to the understanding of the relationship between an infant and its parents He argued that attachment behaviors of babies, such as smiling, babbling, grasping, and crying, are built-in social signals that encourage the parents to approach, care for, and interact with the baby By keeping a parent near, these behaviors help ensure that the baby will be fed, protected from danger, and provided with the stimulation and affection necessary for healthy growth The development of attachment in human infants is a lengthy process involving changes in psychological structures that lead to a deep affectional tie between parent and baby Question 63 According to the passage, attachment behaviors of infants are intended to _ A prepare the infant to cope with separation B get the physical, emotional and social needs of the infant met C allow the infant to become imprinted on objects that resemble the parent D provide the infant with a means of self-stimulation Question 64 The word“foundations”in paragraph is closest in meaning to A discoveries B inventions C institutions D researches Question 65 According to the passage, if a mother goose is not present during the time period when imprinting takes place, which of the following will most likely occur? A The gosling may imprint on another object B.The gosling may not find a mate when it matures C.The gosling will not imprint on any object D The mother will later imprint on the gosling Question 66 It can be inferred from the passage that ethological theory assumes that A failure to imprint has no influence on intelligence B to learn about human behavior only human subjects should be studied C there are similarities between animal and human behavior D the notion of critical periods applies only to animals Question 67 The word“He”in paragraph refers to A a psychoanalyst B an infant C parent D a baby Question 68 The author mentions all of the following as attachment behaviors of human infants EXCEPT _ A crying B eating C smiling D grasping Question 69 What was Darwin’s contribution to ethology? A Darwin was the first person to apply ethological theory to children B Darwin improved on the original principles of ethology C Darwin was the professor who taught Lorenz and Tinbergen D Darwin’s work provided the basis for ethology Question 70 The phrase“affectional tie” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A behavioral change B emotional attachment C cognitive development D psychological need SECTION E: WRITING (30pts) PART I: Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible in meaning to the sentence printed before it Write the answers on your answer sheet (5pts) Question 71 It’s a pity your parents can’t be here too → If only _ Question 72 If Jane hadn’t refused to work overtime, she would have got promotion → If it hadn’t _ Question 73 The manager noticed I had dropped my purse and called after me → Noticing _ Question 74 We suggested a lot of things, which were all rejected → Everything _ Question 75 Although the ticket may seem expensive, it is good value for money → Expensive PART II: Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it is as similar as possible in meaning to the sentence printed before it by using the word given Do not change the form of the given word Write the answers on your answer sheet (5pts) Question 76 You can rely on Frances to always say exactly what she thinks (COUNT) →You can her mind Question 77 Something tells me we should have turned right rather than left (FEELING) →I _turn left, but right Question 78 Isobel’s tendency to interrupt every conversation makes me furious!
