V Read the following passage and choose correct answers below :
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
41 We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because
A it has become very important in our culture
B human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years

42 The author of the passage argues that
A all languages should have a written form
B writing has become too important in today’s society
C everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
D speech is more basic to language than writing
43 Normal human beings
A learn to talk after learning to write C learn to write before learning to talk
B learn to write and to talk at the same time D learn to talk before learning to write
44 According to the passage, writing
A is represented perfectly by speech C represents speech, but not perfectly
B developed from imperfect speech D is imperfect, but less so than speech
