ĐỀ THI GỒM 80 CÂU (TỪ QUESTION 1 ĐẾN QUESTION 80)

American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate. Dr. Petitto studied the babies three times: at 10, 12, and 14 
months. During this time, children really begin to develop their language skills. 
After watching and videotaping the children for several hundred hours, the psychologist and her assistants 
made many important observations. For example, they saw that the hearing children made varied motions with 
their hands. However, there appeared to be no pattern to these motions. The deaf babies also made different 
movements with their hands, but these movements were more consistent and deliberate. The deaf babies 
seemed to make the same hand movements over and over again. During the four-month period, the deaf

babies' hand motions started to resemble some basic hand-shapes used in ASL. The children also seemed to 
prefer certain hand-shapes. 
Hearing infants start first with simple syllable babbling, then put more syllables together to sound like real 
sentences and questions. Apparently, deaf babies follow this same pattern, too. First, they repeat simple hand-
shapes. Next, they form some simple hand signs and use these movements together to resemble ASL 
sentences. 
Linguists believe that our ability for language is innate. In other words, humans are born with the capacity 
for language: It does not matter if we are physically able to speak or not. Language can be expressed in 
different ways - for instance, by speech or by sign. Dr. Petitto believes this theory and wants to prove it. She 
plans to study hearing children who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent. She wants to see what 
happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both sign language and speech. Does the human brain 
prefer speech? Some of these studies of hearing babies who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent show 
that the babies babble eq...e sign system of the deaf is the physical equivalent of speech 
C. the assumption that the human brain prefers sign language to speech 
D. what happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both speech and sign language
