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 71 to 80

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 is 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 can not 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 civilizes

Question 74 The word “ doubtless” in the passage mostly means

A “ almost certainly” B “ almost uncertainly” C “ almost impossibly” D “ almost doubtfully”

Question 75 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

Question 76 The word “ disparage” in the passage mostly means

A “ suggest that something is not important or valuable” B “ make something seem more important”

C “ think that something is more important” D “ think about something carefully”

A writing has more advantages than speech
