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.
 Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English, at least three have been identified and described.
 Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.
Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to requừe its own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.
 It has been pointed out by a number of linguists that three cultural conditions are necessary for the creation of a large body of slang expressions. First, the introduction and acceptance of new objects and situations in the society; second, a diverse population with a large number of subgroups; third, association among the subgroups and the majority population.
 Finally, it is worth nothing that the terms “standard”, “colloquial”, and “slang” exist only as abstract levels for scholars who study language. Only a tiny number of the speakers of any language will be aware that they are using colloquial or slang expressions. Most speakers of English will, during appropriate situations, select and use all three types of expressioins.
Question 38: The author mentions all of the following as requừements for slang expressions to be created EXCEPT........
A. a number of linguists 	B. new situations
C. interaction among diverse groups	D. a new generation
Question 39: Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A. Standard speech	B. Idiomatic phrases
C. Dictionary usage	D. Different types of vocabulary 
Question 40: The word “them” refers to...... .
A. slang phrases 	B. words	C. the majority	D. memories
Question 41: The word “appropriate” is closest in meaning to.......
A. old	B. important	C. correct 	D. large
Question 42: Where in the passage does the author explain where colloquial language and slang are most commonly used?
A. The first sentences of paragraph 2	B. The last sentences of paragraph 3
C. The last sentences of paragraph 2 	D. The last two sentences of paragraph 5
Question 43: Which of the following is TRUE of standard usage?
A. It can be used in formal or informal settings 	B. It is limited to written language
C. It is constantly changing 	D. It is only understood by the upper classes
Question 44: How is slang defined by the author?
A. Words and phrases understood by the majority but not found in standard dictionaries.
B. Words and phrases understood by a restricted group of speakers.
C. Words and phrases understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as formal usage. 
D. Words and phrases accepted by the majority for formal usage.
