In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.

started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for groups and singers to write their own songs. The Beatles did not have a long career. Their first hit record was in 1963 and they split up in 1970. They stopped doing live performances in 1966 because it had become too dangerous for them – their fans were so excited that they surrounded them and tried to take their clothes as souvenirs!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 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 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.
___________________________________________________________________________________________ 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. 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.
Question 43. The passage mentions all of the following as ways adults modify their speech when talking to babies EXCEPT
A. giving all words equal emphasis B. speaking with shorter sentences C. speaking more loudly than normal D. using meaningless sounds
Question 44. The word "emphasize" in the passage is closest in meaning to A.stress B. repeat C. explain D. leave out
Question 45. Which of the following can be inferred about the findings described in paragraph 2?
A. Babies who are exposed to more than one language can speak earlier than babies exposed to a single language.
B. Mothers from different cultures speak to their babies in similar ways. C. Babies ignore facial expressions in comprehending aural language.
D. The mothers observed by the researchers were consciously teaching their babies to speak.
Question 46. What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquire language?
A. Babies begin to understand words in songs.
B. Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions. C. Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults.
D. Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds.
Question 47. According to the author, why do babies listen to songs and stories, even though they can not
understand them?
A. They understand the rhythm. B. They enjoy the sound.
C. They can remember them easily. D. They focus on the meaning of their parents' words.
Question 48. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds B. The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language
C. How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earliest stages of language development
D. The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice
Question 49. Why does the author mention a bell and a rattle in lines 3-4? A. To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds B. To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry
___________________________________________________________________________________________ Question 50. The word "they" in the passage refer to ……
A. responses B. sorts of auditory stimuli C. the babies D. sounds
