It is estimated that over 99 percent of all species that ever existed have become extinct. What causes extinction? When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish. The exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation. Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species. For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be adapted. Food resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources. Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species. The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth. Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time - a mass extinction. One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life. Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago, when approximately 95 percent of all species died. Mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species. If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, even affect organisms not living in the oceans. Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction. One interesting, and controversial, finding is that extinctions during the past 250 million years have tended to be more intense every 26 million years. The periodic extinction might be due to Page 3 Lanhvu88@gmail.com
4. intersection of the earth’s orbit with a cloud of comets, but this theory is purely speculative. Some researchers have also speculated that extinction may often be random. That is, certain species may be eliminated and others may survive for no particular reason. A species’ survival may have nothing to do with its ability or inability to adapt. If so, some of revolutionary history may reflect a sequence of essentially random events. 51. The word “it” refers to ___. A. a species B. 99 percent C. extinction D. environment 52.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best 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 Page 4 Lanhvu88@gmail.com
5. 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. 61. 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. 62. According to the author, why do 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. 63. 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 D. speaking more loudly than normal 64. The word "diverse" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. different B. surrounding C. stimulating D. divided 65. The word "They" in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. words B. mothers C. investigators D. babies 66. 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 do 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 67.

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. 70.
