much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other humanservice workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation – that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning in clued learning languages, concepts, and motor skills According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad view comprised of? A Knowledge acquisition and ability development B Acquisition of academic knowledge C Acquisition of social and behavioral skills D Knowledge acquisition outside the classroom According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the classroom?

A Psychologists studying memory are concerned with the brain’s storage of knowledge B Psychologists are all interested in memory as much as behaviors C Psychologists studying learning are interested in human behaviors D Psychologists studying memory are concerned with how the stored knowledge is used According to the passage, the stimulus in simple forms of learning A is created by the senses B

Write your answer (A, B, C or D) in the numbered box (8 points) CHILDREN’S LANGUAGE ACQUISITION Language acquisition refers to the way in which people learn languages whether it is their first language or a subsequent language Nowadays, a hotly debated issue amongst linguists is whether children are born with a natural ability to learn languages or whether they learn how to understand languages from their environment This debate is known as “the nativist vs the non- nativist” debate Linguists that support the nativist theory believe that children learn through their natural ability to organize the laws of language, but they cannot use this ability if there are no other people to talk to According too the nativist theory, children not need any kind of training in language learning because their brains are ready to learn languages from the time they are born A newborn child, the nativists argue, is able to understand languages because he has a basic understanding of grammar which is natural or native to him As the child grows, he uses an innate grammar knowledge to make sense of the world and to express and decode ideas in complex ways If this theory is true, then people must have some basic knowledge in their genes that helps them simply to understand language from the time they are babies On the other hand, there are many different non-nativist theories, including the most popular, called Social Interactionism Social- interactionists believe that adults play an important part in children’s language acquisition These linguists believe that parents, especially mothers, talk to their children in a manner that is similar to formal language lessons, and, although children seem to learn language easily, their progress is the result of getting language lessons almost all of the time Social-interactionists also believe that children have an ability to learn much more quickly than teenagers or adults However, this theory is being challenged because there are many societies in the world where mothers not speak to their children very much, yet the children are nonetheless able to become fluent quickly 10 Another important theory of children’s language acquisition is the Critical Period Hypothesis Linguists who support this theory argue that a child’s innate ability to learn a language deeply and with a proficiency that is normally associated with first language acquisition will typically end at around the age of twelve After that, these scholars believe that it is impossible for anyone to learn any language profoundly People who support this theory use the example of a girl known as Genie, also called “the Wild Child” Genie was raised in isolation (A) Her father was a disturbed man who decided to keep her away from all contact with other people, and he never talked to her or allowed her to learn anything (B) She was thirteen when she was discovered and taken away from her father (C) Although her circumstances were very tragic, linguists were excited at the opportunity to teach this girl some language skills because through her example they could test the Critical Period Hypothesis and the nativist or non-nativist theories (D) Genie was able to learn some language, though never to the level that a normal teenager would Linguists believe that Genie’s case proves the Critical Period Hypothesis although they still debate whether or not it supports the nativist or non-nativist arguments The word subsequent in the passage is closest in meaning to _ A previous B later C foreign D resultant According to paragraph 2, all of the following are true about the nativist theory of language acquisition EXCEPT A Children are capable of organizing language rules without training B Language input from others is needed to activate children’s ability C Children are born with innate grammar knowledge D Children are not genetically predisposed to learn language naturally from birth The author mentions Social Interactionism in paragraph as an example of _ A the theory that children have an inborn ability to learn their first language B the theory that adults contribute to children’s language acquisition C the fact that children need formal language lessons to learn languages D the theory that children below a certain age tend to learn language more easily According to paragraph 4, what can be inferred about the Critical Period Hypothesis? A It totally rejects the nativist position B It strongly supports the non-nativist position C It basically agrees with the nativist position D It provides a neutral stance on children’s language acquisition The word innate in the passage is closest in meaning to A inherent B essential C extraordinary D creative 11 According to paragraph 5, which of the following best describes Genie’s language progress? A She never learned language skills B She learned many language skills C She learned some skills D She proved the nativist theory Look at the four (A), (B), (C), and (D) that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage As a matter of fact, Genie was confined to a room with very little light and tied to a potty chair most of the time Which of the answer choices below does NOT describe the characteristics of the Critical Period Hypothesis? A Young children receive informal language lessons from their mothers B Children lose their ability to learn languages around the time of puberty C The discovery of Genie allowed scientists to test this theory Your answers: ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… IV Put each of the following words or phrases in its correct place below Write your answer in the numbered box (7 points) CENSORSHIP moral standards masquerading unscrupulous excessive degrades counter-productive infringes The amount of offensive material we are exposed to in films nowadays is surely (1) _ Most people accept that scenes of sex and violence are sometimes necessary to tell a story, but all too often these scenes are gratuitous; they are unnecessary and simply inserted in the film to appeal to the baser human instincts Censorship is necessary, especially to protect children from the corrupting influence of such scenes, often (2) _ as art, in our cinemas There should also be censorship of pornographic magazines produced by (3) _ people willing to cater to the perverted tastes of a small minority Such material destroys the innocence of the young and (4) _ all who read it On the other hand, there are those who say that something which is banned becomes desirable so censorship is (5) _, and that censorship (6) _ on our freedom of choice However, freedom is not merely freedom to what we want but freedom from attempts to destroy society's (7) Censorship provides the safeguards by which society protects itself 12 Your answers: ………… ………… ………… ………… …………… …………… ……….… PART IV: WRITING (15 points) I Finish each of the following sentences in such a way that it means the same as the sentence printed before it (5 points) She didn’t cry when the story ended in tragedy Not a ……………………………………………………………………… Scientists have tried very hard to find a cure for this disease Enormous ………………………………………………………………… I never thought of asking for his help The thought………………………………………………………….…… As there are no more questions, we think we can end the meeting There …………………………………………………………….……… My brother works better when he is pressed for time The less…………………………………………………………….….…… II Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given Do not change the word given (5 points) He said he was sorry for what he had said to the customer (apologies) ……………………………………………………………………………………… The secretary said my expectation was unbelievable (beyond) ……………………………………………………………………………………… Jack has become confident as a result of his success (turned) ……………………………………………………………………………………… Our father will probably stay longer in Rome than he expected (probability) ……………………………………………………………………………………… The jury said Mr Cutter was guilty of misappropriating a huge sum of money (found) ……………………………………………………………………………………… 13 III Essay writing At present we rely on most of our energy needs However, oil is a fossil fuel and causes air pollution, and it will eventually run out Nuclear energy is the only practical and clean source of energy for the world Do you agree?
