When Romans occupied Paris, they cut down stone from deep within the earth to build their city Later, the French used more stone to construct the Notre Dame Cathedral This left huge underground tunnels upon which part of the city now Once used for growing mushrooms and as a hiding place, today they are mostly forgotten, except by "cataphiles" - those who love to go down into the tunnels below Paris, even though it is actually not permitted

In the 70s and 80s, it is easier to enter the tunnels because there were many more open

entrances through forgotten doorways and into catacombs - rooms filled with bones The bones had been moved into the tunnels to solve the problem crowded cemeteries By the end of the 1980s, most of the entrances were shut and police regularly walked the tunnels However, there are still cataphiles, like the couple I saw that morning, and for those who dare, the underground is an exciting place to meet, party, perform for each

My own experience began beneath the old Paris opera house, where sewer workers showed me a 55-meter-long underground pond, a pond that actually had fish in it! Later, at France's national bank, officials guided me below to an amazing room filled with 2,600 tons of gold As cataphiles are the best guides, I then asked one of the cataphiles to give me a

tour Descending into the underground through a secret entrance beneath a bridge, we walked

for hours through catacombs, and galleries of huge, bright paintings The cataphile told me

"Many people come down here to party, some to paint Some people to destroy or to create or

to explore We what we want, We don't have rules "

In the exploration of the linguistic life cycle, 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 a foreign language, especially in phonology – hence the ubiquitous foreign accent

Their development often “fossilizes” into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo 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 explanations into doubt Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age

Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elissa 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 all, and showed huge variability unrelated to the age of arrival

Question 36 The passage mainly discusses _ A adults differences in learning a foreign language B children’s ability to learn a language

C the age factor in learning language fast D research into language acquisition

Question 37 From the passage, it can be inferred that “phonology” is the study of _ A the grammar of a language

B the rules of a language C the vocabulary of a language D the sound system of a language

Question 38 The word “cap” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A prize B limit

Question 39 According to the passage, young children learn language quickly for all of the following reasons EXCEPT _

A they make many mistakes B they want to talk

C their approach is flexible D they frequently repeat words

Question 40 In the experiment in the passage, the psychologists discovered that _ A most students had lived in the U.S for more than 10 years

B older students were unable to learn English C young students learned English best

D students who arrived late were worst of all

The issue of equality for women in British society first attracted national attention in the early

20th century, when the suffragettes won for women the right to vote In the 1960s feminism

became the subject of intense debate when the women's liberation movement encouraged women to reject their traditional supporting role and to demand equal status and equal rights with men in areas such as employment and pay

Since then, the gender gap between the sexes has, been reduced The Equal Pay Act of 1970,

for instance, made it illegal for women to be paid less than men for doing the same work, and in

1975 the Sex Discrimination Act aimed to prevent either sex having an unfair advantage when

applying for jobs In the same year, the Equal Opportunities Commission was set up to help

people claim their rights to equal treatment and to publish research and statistics to show where improvements in opportunities for women need to be made Women now have much better employment opportumties though they still tend to get less well-paid jobs than men, and very few are appointed to top jobs in industry

In the US, the movement that is often called the "first wave of feminism" began in the mid-1800s Susan B Anthony worked for the right to vote Margaret Sanger wanted to provide women with the means of contraception so that they could decide whether or not to have children, and Elizabeth Blackwell, who had to fight for the chance to become a doctor, wanted women to have greater opportunities to study Many feminists were interested in other social issues

The second wave of feminism began in 1960s Women like Betty Friedan and Gloria Steinem

became associated with the right to get equal rights and opportunities for women under the law

An important issue was the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was intended to change the

Constitution Although the ERA was not passed, there was progress in other areas It became illegal for employers, schools, clubs, etc to discriminate against women But women still find it hard to advance beyond a certain point in their careers, the co-called glass ceiling that prevents them from having high-level jobs Many women also face the problem of the second shift, i.e the household chores

In 1980s, feminism became less popular in the US and there was less interest in solving the remaining problems, such as the fact that most women still earn much less than men Although there is still discrimination, the principle that it should not exist is widely accepted

Question 24: It can be inferred from paragraph that in the 19th century, A British women did not have the right to vote in political elections
