Reading Test (20 points) Passage 1 Read the following passage, and decide on the basis of the content of the text whether the statements are True(T), False(F) or Not Mentioned(N). Write your answers against the numbers on your Answer Sheet. People may become bilingual either by acquiring two languages at the same time in childhood or by learning a second language sometime after acquiring their first language. Many bilingual people grow up speaking two languages. Often in America such people are the children of immigrants; these children grow up speaking their parents' native language in their childhood home while speaking English at school. Many bilinguals, however, are not immigrants; it is not uncommon for people born in the U.S. to speak English at school or work and another language at home. Children can also become bilingual if their parents speak more than one language to them, or if some other significant person in their life (such as a grandparent or caretaker) speaks to them consistently in another language. Sometimes a child will grow up in a household in which each parent speaks a different language; in that case, the child may learn to speak to each parent in that parent's language. In short, a young child who is regularly exposed to two languages from an early age will most likely become a fluent native speaker of both languages. The exposure must involve interaction; a child growing up in an English-speaking household who is exposed to Spanish only through Spanish-language television won't become a Spanish-English bilingual, but a child who is regularly spoken to in both English and Spanish will. It is also possible to learn a second language sometime after early childhood, but the older you get, the harder it is to learn to speak a new language as well as a native speaker. Many linguists believe there is a 'critical period' (lasting roughly from birth until puberty) during which a child can easily acquire any language that he or she is regularly exposed to. Under this view, the structure of the brain changes at puberty, and after that it becomes harder to learn a new language. This means that it is much easier to learn a second language during childhood than as an adult. In some countries, nearly everybody is bilingual or multilingual. In parts of India, for example, a small child usually knows several languages. In many European countries, children are encouraged to learn a second language - typically English. In fact, the U.S. is quite unusual among the countries of the world in that many of its citizens speak only English, and they are rarely encouraged to become fluent in any other language. 41. The passage is about how people become bilingual. 42. A bilingual is a person who acquires two languages at the same time in his or her childhood. 43. Children can become bilingual if they are consistently spoken to in two languages. 44． Children whose parents are immigrants are likely to be bilingual. 45. A child will speak to each parent in that parent’s language if each of his parent speaks a different language. 46. The older you get, the harder it is to learn to speak a new language as well as a native

speaker 47. An Englishman who is exposed to Chinese-language television will become Chinese-English bilingual. 48. There is a 'critical period' (lasting roughly from birth until puberty) during which a child finds it hard to acquire a language that he or she is regularly exposed to. 49. In many European countries, children are encouraged to learn only English as a second language because it is a global language. 50. In America, a child whose parents are migrants from China can speak both English and Chinese fluently. Passage 2 Read the following passage and answer the questions followed. When did Standard English start? Standard English is used now internationally, but first it spread in England and the United Kingdom generally. Let’s look briefly at what happened. You remember that the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, who brought English to England were not the first invaders, nor were they the last. In the 11th century Norman French invaders came. They were successful in their conquest, and for the next two centuries, the country was ruled by kings and nobles who were of Norman-French descent. Norman-French was their language, so it was the language of military affairs, of government, of law, of the court, and so of the fashionable and well-off people. Learned people used Latin, the language of the church, for serious purposes like study and writing. English---all the varieties of English---was the language of ordinary people, neither rich nor well educated. It is extraordinary that by the time books came to be printed in London, it seemed natural and proper to print books in English. We can’t offer anything like a complete explanation of how this happened, but there are two things we know about which certainly helped. One has to do with education. We know that in the late 1370’s there was a change in the way boys were taught Latin. Until then they had to translate Latin into French. For the first time they were allowed to translate Latin into English. They got on much faster with Latin. Then there was another thing. A very great and very important writer, named Geoffrey Chaucer, chose to write in English. He never saw his book in print---he died in 1400---but it was well liked by many people who heard his stories in verse read aloud. You see how important and influential education and literature can be. Questions: 51. What is the best topic of this passage? A. When Standard English Started B. The Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes C. Norman-French Successful Conquest D. Geoffrey Chaucer’s Contribution to Standard English 52. How is Standard English used nowadays? 53. Who brought English language to England?

That means it is the language of government, and the language of education in almost all(not quite all) schools, the language of broadcasting, and of most newspapers. It is a national language but it has never been the only language in use, and it certainly is not now!? Welsh is still used in Wales. Some Welsh people still speak it as their mother tongue, and it is widely taught in Welsh schools. Some people in Scotland and in Ireland still use a language that is related to Welsh. It is called Gaelic. These languages have a long history in these islands---longer than the history of English.

In some industrial cities(though not generally in Britain) you can find groups of people who speak Polish, and other groups speaking the languages of the Indian subcontinent.
