The question of how people learn a second language is one that has received a great deal of scientific attention. Research has offered evidence that has been used to support a number of conflicting claims about second language (SL) learning. However, there is one fundamental observation that is less open to dispute than others. If success in adult second language learning is measured by how close the learner comes to the level of a native speaker, it is possible and quite common for adults to achieve a high degree of success in learning SL grammar and vocabulary. Strangely enough, the same degree of success does not seem to be attainable in SL phonology; adult SL learners who sound like native speakers are extremely rare, perhaps even nonexistent. How have scientists attempted to account for the remarkable inability of adult second language learners to acquire a nativelike pronunciation in the second language? One likely explanation is to be found in the so-called critical period theory. Proponents of this theory argue that the acquisition of native-speaker pronunciation in any language is biologically possible only until about the age of twelve. But it must be emphasized that there is too much counterevidence for such a conclusion to be valid; there are too many cases of adults who acquire adequate or good pronunciation in a second language through instruction and practice. While they will never be mistaken for native speakers, their efforts are rewarded by speech that is perfectly comprehensible.
【題組】48 According to the critical period theory, why is it difficult for adult SL learners to acquire a nativelike pronunciation?
(A) They are too critical about the acquisition of nativelike pronunciation.
(B) They learn the language after the age of twelve.
(C) They fail to learn well because they lack instruction and practice.
(D) They are not getting rewards for their efforts.

請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題：
   In a city where eating well is an obsession, a statement by a senior official published in a national newspaper caused a public outcry. Vallop Suwandee, who chairs an advisory board to the governor of Bangkok, was quoted as saying that street vendors would be removed from all 50 districts of the city. It seemed that one of the most popular and distinctive aspects of Bangkok life was to be wiped out, days after CNN had voted Bangkok the best place in the world for street food, and just two months before the city government was planning to hold a street-food festival.
   Mr. Vallop now says he was misquoted: “Let me be clear, on behalf of the city of Bangkok. Street food will continue to be part of Bangkok life, on the condition that there will not be obstructions for pedestrians, and that the vendors observe sanitary rules in the interest of public health. We will allow them to be in certain areas, under strict conditions.”
   This is not the first time the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA), which is responsible for running the city, has tried to impose order and standards on the hundreds of thousands of food vendors operating on the streets. Right after the BMA was first established in 1972, it launched a similar campaign to force the vendors to operate in designated markets instead.
   Variations of that campaign were revived every few years but implementation has always been weak because the BMA recognised the vital role street vending played in providing a source of income in difficult economic times. Most of the time it has quietly chosen not to push too hard.
   This time may be different. The number of officially approved locations for street food vendors has been cut dramatically, from a peak of 726 four years ago to 243 by the end of last year. Tens of thousands of vendors have been forced to move already, leaving many downtown areas like Siam Square, Asok and Silom with few or no street-food stalls now visible during the day and night.
   The most recent area to be cleared is the increasingly wealthy neighbourhood of Thonglor. A small side street, or soi, which for many years had been famous for its street food, is no more, although city officials say the vendors were offered alternative locations in smaller sois further away.

【題組】43 Why didn’t BMA carry out their plans to remove street vendors much earlier?
(A)Because they didn’t have enough governmental and public support.
(B)Because they didn’t have appropriate means of implementing.
(C)Because they acknowledged the vendors’ contributions to the country’s economy.
(D)Because they didn’t propose acceptable and effective strategies for implementation.
