Interviewer: Mrs. Partridge, I understand that you are very concerned about the housing situation in Britain.Mrs. Partridge: Indeed I am. The government itself admits that there are more than two million houses which ought to be pulled down at once. It also admits that there are another two million in such a shocking state that it would be a waste of money to repair them.Interviewer: What do you mean by "shocking state"Mrs. Partridge: I mean houses that are in such a bad condition that they are permanently damp, or houses where you’ll find as many as five families sharing one tap and one toilet.Mr. Pollard: But what about all the good things that have been and are being done What about the rebuilding of whole parts of cities like Sheffield and Birmingham and Coventry — not to mention the new townsMrs. Partridge: That’s all very fine and splendid, but it’s only one side of the picture. I’m simply saying that we’re not doing enough. We can feel proud of what is good, but surely we shouldn’t be proud that, for example, Glasgow is some times called the biggest slum in Western Europe.Interviewer: What you are saying, in effect, Mrs. Partridge, is that the housing in this country isn’t worthy of a welfare state.Mrs. Partridge: Exactly! According to government figures there are less than 20,000 homeless people, but thousands more are living in such terrible conditions that they ought to be classed as homeless. It isn’t that these people can’t afford a reasonable rent. There just aren’t enough houses.Interviewer: Whom do you blameMrs. Partridge: The government, for not providing enough money, and the council for not spending properly what there is.Mr. Pollard: Aren’t you being unfair to the local housing committees Many of them do wonderful work.Mrs. Partridge: I agree, but that doesn’t excuse councils that are inefficient and don’t take enough interest. Don’t you think it is shocking that in modern Britain there are still families who have nowhere to live Do you think it’s right that whole families should have to sleep in the ruins of empty buildings or under bridges or in railway station waiting-roomsMr. Pollard: But there are excellent hostels where they can go.Mrs. Partridge: In some towns, perhaps, Mr. Pollard, but things are very different in many of our midland and northern industrial cities, and in parts of London. Even where there are places, some of the state-run homes for the homeless are less comfortable than prisons. In any case, my point is that we shouldn’t need so many hostels for homeless families because there shouldn’t be any homeless families!Interviewer: Mrs. Partridge, I think many people would say that you are exaggerating and drawing attention to the worst housing conditions instead of looking at the situation as a whole. Would you agree that you belong to a "pressure group" which is trying to bring pressure on the government to do something about the housing problemMrs. Partridge: If that’s what belonging to a pressure group means, the answer is "yes"! But I’m not exaggerating. Housing is the most serious problem of our welfare state. If it weren’t, would we hear so much about that excellent charity Shelter, which does such wonderful work in finding homes for the homeless What is the main topic of the interview().

A. The housing situation in Britain.
B. Setting up new towns.
C. How to solve housing problems in Britain.
D. Providing houses for the homeless.

Questions 17—20 are based on the following talk about the language ability.Is language a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged Judging from the experiment of Frederick in the thirteenth century it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year.Today no such drastic deprivation exists. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant. There are critical times when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists suggest that speech milestone is reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and utters vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man’s brain is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel. And even more incredible is the young brain’s to pick out an order in language from the hubbub of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in novels.But speech has to be triggered, and this depends on interaction between the mother and child. Insensitivity of the mother dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal cues is essential to the growth and development of language. What happened to the child in Frederick’s experiment().

A. The child’s brain was damaged.
B. The child died.
C. The child kept silent.
D. The child heard no mother tongue.
