your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults Question 52: Which of the following can be inferred about the findings described in paragraph 2? A Babies ignore facial expressions in comprehending aural language B Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways C Babies who are exposed to more than one language can speak earlier than babies exposed to a single language D The mothers observed by the researchers were consciously teaching their babies to speak Mã đề 132 5/7 Question 53: According to the author, why babies listen to songs and stories, even though they cannot understand them? A They can remember them easily B They focus on the meaning of their parents' word C They enjoy the sound D They understand the rhythm Question 54: The passage mentions all of the followings as the ways adults modify their speech when talking to babies EXCEPT A speaking with shorter sentences B giving all words equal emphasis C using meaningless sounds A speaking more loudly than normal Question 55: The word "diverse" is closest in meaning to A different B surrounding C stimulating D divided Question 56: The word "They" refers to A words B mothers C investigators D babies Question 57: Why does the author mention "a bell and a rattle"? A To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds B To give examples of typical toys that babies not like C To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds D To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry Question 58: What does the passage mainly discuss? A The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language B How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of language development C The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice D How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds Question 59: The word "emphasize" is closest in meaning to A stress B leave out C explain D repeat Question 60: What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquire language? A Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions B Babies begin to understand words in songs C Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds D Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults Question 61: The word "noted" is closest in meaning to A requested B observed C theorized D disagreed Mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct following questions Question 62: A humidity B necessary C endangered Question 63: A economics B achievement C dependent Question 64: A understand B expedition C electronic answer to each of the D incredible D technology D insurance WRITING Part I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it Question 65: He was very sorry that he didn't see Andrey on her trip to London He greatly regretted Mã đề 132 6/7 Question 66: The plane had hardly left the airport when the accident happened No sooner _ Question 67: Although she said that she would come, I don’t think she ever will Despite _ Question 68: Most people think Nigel is the best racing driver in the world Nigel is considered Question 69: “Unless I receive her letter tomorrow, I’ll phone her,” said Nam Nam said that if _ Part II: In about 140 words, write a paragraph about the importance of family in your life The following prompt might be helpful to you - supporting us - sharing feelings, secrets, problems … - helping us improve our personality - THE END - Mã đề 132 7/7 Đáp án PHẦN TRẮC NGHIỆM (8 điểm) - Mã đề 132 Câu số Đáp án Câu số Đáp án Câu số Đáp án B 23 B 45 A D 24 B 46 C C 25 C 47 C B 26 B 48 A C 27 B 49 B D 28 A 50 D C 29 B 51 B D 30 C 52 B C 31 D 53 C 10 B 32 B 54 B 11 D 33 A 55 A 12 C 34 C 56 B 13 D 35 B 57 A 14 B 36 C 58 B 15 A 37 B 59 A 16 C 38 B 60 C 17 D 39 B 61 B 18 A 40 A 62 B 19 B 41 D 63 A 20 B 42 B 64 D 21 A 43 D 22 C 44 B PHẦN VIẾT (2 điểm) I (0,5 điểm) Question 65: He greatly regretted not seeing Andrey on her trip to London Question 66: I No sooner had the plane left the airport than the accident happened Question 67: Despite her saying that she would come, I don’t think she ever will Hoặc Despite the fact that she said that she would come, I don’t think she ever will Question 68: Nigel is considered to be the the best racing driver in the world Mã đề 132 8/7 VnDoc – Tải văn pháp luật, tài liệu, biểu mẫu miễn phí Question 69: Nam said that if he didn’t receive her letter the next day/ the following day/ the day after, he would phone her II (1,5 điểm) Mơ tả tiêu chí đánh giá Bố cục Điểm tối đa 0,04 o Câu đề dẫn chủ đề mạch lạc o Bố cục hợp lí rõ ràng phù hợp yêu cầu đề o Bố cục uyển chuyển từ mở đến kết luận Phát triển ý 0,25 o Phát triển ý có trình tự logic o Có dẫn chứng, ví dụ, … đủ để bảo vệ ý kiến Sử dụng ngơn từ 0,30 o Sử dụng ngôn từ phù hợp nội dung o Sử dụng ngôn từ văn phong/ thể loại o Sử dụng từ nối ý cho viết uyển chuyển Nội dung 0,30 o Đủ thuyết phục người đọc o Đủ dẫn chứng, ví dụ, lập luận o Độ dài: Số từ khơng nhiều so với quy định 5% Ngữ pháp, dấu câu, tả: 0,25 o Sử dụng dấu câu o Chính tả: Viết tả - Lỗi tả gây hiểu nhầm/ sai lệch ý bị tính lỗi (trừ 1% điểm viết) - Cùng lỗi tả lặp lại tính lỗi o Sử dụng thời, thể, cấu trúc câu ngữ pháp (Lỗi ngữ pháp gây hiểu nhầm/ sai lệch ý bị trừ 1% điểm viết.)
