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 questions from 43 to 50
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 foreign language, especially in phonology - hence the ubiquitous foreign accent. Their development often "fossilizes" into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can do. 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 Motherless (the simplified, repetitive conversation between parents and children), make errors oneself- consciously, 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 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 3 and 7 performed identically to American bom students. Those who arrived between the ages of 8 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 their age of arrival.
It can be inferred from the passage that "phonology" is the study of the.................. of a language.
A. grammar
B. vocabulary
C. sound system
D. native speakers

Đáp án D
Giải thích: Theo như đoạn văn đầu, điều nào đúng về việc người lớn học ngôn ngữ mới?
A. Nhiều người trong số họ thực sự có thể nắm vững được nó.
B. Giọng của họ giống giọng người bản địa.
C. Những lỗi sai trong việc sử dụng ngôn ngữ của họ chỉ trong thời gian ngắn.
D. Việc học ngoại ngữ của họ bị ảnh hưởng bởi nhiều yếu tố.
Dịch đoạn 1: Trong việc nghiên cứu về ngôn ngữ trong đời sống hàng ngày, rõ ràng là việc học ngôn ngữ thứ hai ở độ tuổi trưởng thành khó hơn nhiều so với việc học ngôn ngữ đầu tiên khi còn thơ ấu. Hầu hết mọi người lớn đều không nắm bắt được hoàn toàn ngoại ngữ đó, đặc biệt về ngữ âm - vì vậy xuất hiện âm điệu nước ngoài ở mọi nơi. Sự phát triển của họ thường bị “hóa thạch” trở thành những hệ thống lỗi cố định mà không việc dạy hay sửa chữa nào có thể sửa được. Tất nhiên, cũng có những sự khác biệt giữa các cá thể, mà nó phụ thuộc nhiều vào sự nỗ lực, thái độ, mức độ thực hành, chất lượng của việc dạy học và tài năng có sẵn, nhưng dường như vẫn có một sự hạn chế cho dù với những học sinh giỏi nhất trong những hoàn cảnh tốt nhất.
