VII 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 51 to 60

A pilot cannot fly by sight alone In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar ca n show a pilot how fast nearby

planes are moving The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of

the cave With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects

By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects The word “radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging” “Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar

is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and

storms

Question 51: What is the main topic of this passage?

C “exclaims”

D “shoots”

Question 55:Which of the following words best describes the tone of this passage?

A explanatory

B humorous

C argumentative

D imaginative

Question 56: According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be

determined by

A the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object

B the time it takes for the echoes produced by the radio waves to return to the radar set

C the time it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the

object

D the term “ranging” used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set Question 57: Which type of waves does radar use?

VIII 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 61 to 70

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 (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) 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, although 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 disparage 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

Question 61: We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because

A writing is secondary to language

B human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years

C it has become very important in our culture

D people have been writing since there have been human beings

Question 62: The author of the passage argues that

A everyone who learns to speak must learn to write

B speech is more basic to language than writing

C writing has become too important in today’s society

D all languages should have a written form

Question 63: Normal human beings

A learn to write and to talk at the same time

B learn to talk before learning to write

C learn to write before learning to talk

D learn to talk after learning to write

Question 64: According to the passage, writing

A developed from imperfect speech

B represents speech, but not perfectly

C is imperfect, but less so than speech

D is represented perfectly by speech

Question 65: Learning to write is _

A not easy

B too difficult

C easy

D very easy

Question 66: 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 severely handicapped children

C people who speak many languages

D intelligent people who couldn’t write

Question 67: In the author’s judgment, _

A speech is essential but writing has important benefits

B writing is more real than speech

C writing has more advantages than speech

D speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does

Question 68: According to the author, one mark of any civilized society is that it _

A teaches its children to speak perfectly

B keeps written records

C affirms the primacy of speech over writing
