Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer from 28 to 37

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

A all languages should have a written form

B everyone who learns to speak must learn to write

C speech is more basic to language than writing

D writing has become too important in today’s society

Question 32: The word “disparage” in the passage mostly means……… ?

A “think that something is more important”

B “make something seem more important”

C “think about something carefully”

D “suggest that something is not important or valuable”

Question 33: According to the passage, writing

A is represented perfectly by speech B represents speech, but not perfectly

C developed from imperfect speech D is imperfect, but less so than speech

Question 34: The word “ acquire” in the passage mostly means

A “ help somebody learn something by giving information about it”

B “ gain something by our own efforts or ability”
