(4)READING Read this passage carefully then choose the best answer (A, B, C, or D) for each
question below (1.5 pts)
In the exploration of linguistic life circle, 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 foreign language, especially in phonology – hence the ubiquitous foreign accent Their development often “fossilizes” into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can 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 no 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 explanation into doubt Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age
Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elisa Newport and her colleagues They tested Korean and Chinese-born students at the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in the United States The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them containing some grammatical errors The immigrants who came to the United States between the ages of and performed identically to American-born students Those who arrived between the ages of and 15 did worse the later they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the worst of it, and showed huge variability unrelated to their age of arrival
1 The passage is mainly about _
A how adults are different from children in learning B how language acquisition works among children C how the age factor is related to language learning D how research into language rules was done
2 According to the first paragraph, what is TRUE about adults learning another language? A The majority of them have no trouble mastering it
B Their accent is similar to that of native speakers C Their errors in language use are short-term D Their learning is affected by a variety of factors
3 According to the second paragraph, children learn language better than adults because of the following reasons EXCEPT
A They repeat after their parents B They have had no languages C They don’t love talking D They don’t have a fixed method The word “those” in the last paragraph refers to _
A Korean and Chinese-born students B American-born students
C different age groups D English sentences
5 Which of the following is TRUE about the research mentioned in the passage? A The participants spoke English as their first language
(5)D Most of the items in the test contained errors
6 According to the passage, what was the purpose of the research? A To assess students’ language abilities
