Although published in 1965, the three books that comprise the Lord of the Rings werewritten in intervals from 1936 to 1949 This was mainly due to Tolkien's responsibilities as aprofessor and the outbreak of World War II By the late 1960s, this fascinating trilogy hadbecome a sociological phenomenon as young people intently studied the mythology and legendscreated by Tolkien
The trilogy is remarkable not only for its highly developed account of historical fictionbut also its success as a modern heroic epic The main plot describes the struggle between goodand evil kingdom as they try to acquire a magic ring that has the power to rule the world Thenovels, which are set in a time called Middle Earth, describe a detailed fantasy world.Established before humans populated the Earth, Middle Earth was inhabited by good and evilcreatures such as hobbits, elves, monsters, wizards, and some humans The characters and thesetting of Middle Earth were modeled after mythological stories from Greece and NorthernEurope

Trang 7Read 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.
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 Oneadvantage 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
56 We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because
a people have been writing since there have been human beings
b human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years
c it has become very important in our culture
d writing is secondary to language
57 The author of the passage argues that _
a speech is more basic to language than writing
b all languages should have a written form
c writing has become too important in today’s society
d everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
58 Normal human beings
a learn to talk after learning to write b learn to write after learning to talk
c learn to talk before learning to write d learn to write and talk at the same time
59 According to the passage, writing _
Trang 8c is imperfect, but less so than speech d developed from imperfect speech
