3. Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.

            When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, but imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write; in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.

            To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disregard the latter. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized.

66. The author of the passage argues that ________

A. writing has become too important in today’s society.

B. speech is more basic to language than writing.

C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write.

D. all languages should have a written form.

67. According to the passage, writing ________

A. is imperfect, but less so than speech.         B. represents speech, but not perfectly.

C. developed from imperfect speech.             D. is represented perfectly by speech.

68. In the author’s judgment ________

A. writing has more advantages than speech.

B. speech is essential but writing has important benefits.

C. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does.

D. writing is more real than speech.

69. In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ________

A. people who learn the rudiments of speech.  B. people who speak many languages.

C. intelligent people who couldn’t write.          D. severely handicapped children.

70. According to the author, one mark of civilized society is that it ________

A. affirms the primacy of speech over writing.         

B. affirms the primacy of writing over speech.

C. teaches its children to speak perfectly.

WHAT PRICE FAME? After more than 20 years in the film industry Mel Gibson says that the biggest lesson he's learned as an nctor has been how important it is to have a oving family at his side.

WHAT PRICE FAME? After more than 20 years in the film industry Mel Gibson says that the biggest lesson he's learned as an nctor has been how important it is to have a oving family at his side. "When I started out in my career I was often referred to as "the sexiest man in the world" or some such nonsense. At the time, though, it went to my head and I really took to being a celebrity.However, after the initial euphoria I found that not only was I spending long periods away from home but I never had any time to myself, none of which made me particularly happy: His wife Robyn saw what was happening and came to the rescue; she simply told him to "stop, come home and take some time off" But Mel Gibson thinks it's ten times worse for today's young stars. He believes that the new breed of heartthrobs such as Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio have it much harder than he ever did. "The youngsters today receive constant attention from the media, which means they can't do anything without seeing their picture all over the front page the next day."

The experience of Cameron Diaz bears witness to that All he tine she was dating Matt Dillon she never felt her personpal lite was her own. "After a while we both got used to being chased by photographers, and having every aspeet of our relationship analysed by the media. But it meast we coula never really lead a normal life together." The pressures of working together with Dillon on There's Something About Mary were probably as much to blame for their painful and much publicized break-up as the sensation-seeking jouralists, but all the same. Cameron has resolved to be more guarded about her private life and she now gives as little away as possible about her relationships.

Wild man of comedy, Jim Carrey, also complains about the lack of privacy. He remembers with anger the time he took some family photographs to be developed in a shop close to his S4 million Los Angeles home. "Two weeks later they were in the local newspaper. Someone in the shop obviously made a lot of money out of them." For Carrey, being a famous actor also means being a diplomat, "People may come up to you in the street when you're in a really bad mood, and you have to talk to them as if you were delighted to see them. If nof, word gets round that you're a miserable human being and that's how you're remembered.

Bruce Willis feels that too much importance is attached to what's written in magazine articles, since most of it's untrue anyway. He firmly believes he has a right to protect himself and his family from over-inquisitive reporters "If the paparazzi start taking photos of my children and asking them questions, I just get'in the way and teach them a few manners. Of course, they don't take too kindly to this, and the public is given the impression from what they read that I'm arrogant and rude. It's all very frustrating." Frustrating it may be, but how sorry should we feel for people like Willis? Michael Douglas and Catherine ZetaJones certainly can't complain about jounalists: It is said they were paid £1 million by OK! nagazine for allowing its photographers to take exclusive pictures of their wedding. Of course, being in the public cye does have its drawbacks, but these are nothing compared with the positive aspects of fame. After all, if the publicity and pressure of fame get too much for the Douglas family, they can always escape to Michael's Jarge house on the beautifal Mediterranean island of Mallorca. Fame is a wonderful thing - as long as you can afford to get away from it! Cau 56. What are we told about Mel Gibson's attitude to fameA. It has taught him a lot about life. B. He enjoyed it at first. C. It has helped to make him happy. D. Fame is not important to himCau 57. What caused Cameron Diaz and Matt Dillon to end their relationship? A. Their appearance together in a film. B. Cameron Diaz had a relationship with someone else. C. A combination of reasons. D. The attentions of the media. Cau 58. Jim Carrey was angry about the photographs because A. they took a long tine to develop. B. they were very expensive to develop. C. the shop was closed for a long time. D. his privacy was not respected. Cáu 59. What does Jim Carrey say about being recognized in the street? A. He sometimes has to hide his true feelings. B. He finds it very irritating. C. He is always pleased to meet people. D. It is a sign that people have not forgotten him Cau 60. What is the author's opinion of the rich and famous? A. He thinks they are paid too much. B. He thinks we should feel sorry for them C. He thinks their lifestyle has more advantages than disadvantages D. He thinks they complain too much

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 39 to 43.

Accidents do not occur at random. People eighty-five years of age and older are twenty-two times likely to die accidentally than are children five to nine years old. The risk for native Americans is four times that for Asian-Americans and twice that for white Americans or African-Americans. Males suffer accidents at more than twice the rate of females, in part because they are more prone to risky behavior. Alaskans are more than three times as likely as Rhode Islanders to die in an accident. Texans are twenty-one times more likely than New Jerseyites to die in a natural disaster. Among the one hundred most populous counties, kern County, California (Bakersfield), has an accident fatality rate three times greater than Summit County, Ohio (Akron).

Accidents happens more often to poor people. Those living in poverty receive inferior medical care, are more apt to reside in houses with faulty heating and electrical systems, drive older cars with fewer safety features, and are less likely to use safety belts. People in rural areas have more accidents than city or suburban dwellers because farming is much riskier than working in a factory or office and because emergency medical services are less readily available. These two factors – low income and rural residence – may explain why the south has a higher accident rate than the north.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for a higher accident rate among the poor?

A. Little knowledge about safety

B. Inadequate medical services

C. Poor housing and working conditions

D. Use of cars which incorporate fewer safety features

Bởi vì viết trở nên rất quan trọng trong nền văn hóa của chúng ta, đôi khi chúng ta nghĩ về nó thực hơn lời nói. Tuy nhiên, suy nghĩ một chút sẽ thấy tại sao lời nói lại là chủ yếu và viết là thứ yếu với ngôn ngữ. Con người đã viết (như chúng ta có thể nói từ bằng chứng còn sót lại) ít nhất 5000 năm; nhưng học đã nói chuyện lâu hơn thế, chắc chắn kể từ khi có con người.

Khi viết đã phát triển, nó được bắt nguồn từ và thể hiện lời nói, mặc dù không hoàn hảo. Thậm chí ngày nay, có ngôn ngữ nói được mà không có hình thức viết. Hơn nữa, tất cả chúng ta học cách nói tốt trước khi chúng ta học viết; bất kỳ đứa trẻ nào mà không bị khuyết tật nghiêm trọng về thể chất hay tinh thần sẽ học nói: một người bình thường không thể bị ngăn cản làm việc đó. Mặt khác, nó cần một nỗ lực đặc biệt để học viết. Trong quá khứ nhiều thành viên thông minh và hữu ích của xã hội đã không có được kỹ năng đó, và ngay cả ngày nay nhiều người nói ngôn ngữ với hệ thống viết cũng không bao giờ học đọc hoặc viết, trong khi một số người tìm hiểu những nguyên lý cơ bản của những kỹ năng này làm như vậy chỉ không hoàn hảo.

Tuy nhiên, để kh ng định tính ưu việt của lời nói vượt trên viết không phải là chê bai cái sau. Một lợi thế mà viết có trên lời nói là nó lâu dài hơn và làm có thể các ghi ch p mà bất kỳ nền văn minh nào cũng phải có. Do đó, nếu nói làm chúng ta người hơn, viết lại làm cho chúng ta văn minh.
