In addition to studying the skies, Halley was also deeply interested in exploring the unknown depths of the oceans. One of his lesser-known accomplishments that was quite remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated exploration of the watery depth. The diving bell that Halley design had a major advantage over the diving bells that were in use prior to his. Earlier diving bells could only make use of the air contained within the bell itself, so divers had to surface when the air inside the bell ran low. Halley’s bell was an improvement in that it allowed for an additional supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of divers to remain underwater for several hours. The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of a bell that measured three feet across the top and five feet across the bottom and could hold several divers comfortably; it was open at the bottom so that divers could swim in and out at will. The bell was built of wood, which was first heavily tarred to make it water repellent and was then covered with a half-ton sheet of lead to make bell sank to the bottom. The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for divers to breath, and it was this improvement that made Halley’s bell superior to its predecessors. In addition to the air already in the bell, air was also supplied to the divers from a lead barrel that was lowered to the ocean floor close to the bell itself. Air flowed through a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to the bell. The divers could breathe the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around outside the bell wearing a diving suit that consisted of a lead bell-shaped helmet with a glass viewing window and a leather body suit with a leather pipe carrying fresh air from the diving bell to the helmet. Question 56: Which of the following best expresses the subject of this passage? A. Halley’s different interests B. Halley’s invention of a contraption for diving C. Halley’s work as an astronomer D. Halley’s experiences as a diver. Question 57: Halley’s bell was better than its predecessors because it____ A. was bigger B. weighed less C. could rise more quickly D. provided more air Question 58: The expression ran low in the passage is closest in meaning to_____ A. had been replenished B. moved slowly C. was almost exhausted D. sank to the bottom Question 59: How long could divers stay underwater in Halley’s bell?

A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing is secondary in 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 from. 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 to 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 71: The word doubtless in the passage mostly means_____ Tiếng Anh 314 – trang 6 A. almost uncertainly B. almost impossibly C. almost doubtfully D. almost certainly Question 72: In order to show that learning requires effort, the author gives the example of_____ A. intelligent people who could not write B. severely handicapped children C. people who speak many languages D. people who learn the rudiments of speech Question 73: The following statements are true EXCEPT_____ A. Every spoken language has written form B. Writing was derived from speech C. Men have been writing for at least 5000 years. D. We can talk before we can write Question 74: The author of the passage argues that____ A. all languages should have written forms B. writing has become too important in today’s society C. everyone who learn to speak must learn to write D. speech is more basic to learn than to write Question 75: The word disparage in the passage mostly means____ A. think that something is more important B. think about something carefully C. make something more important D. suggest that something is not important or valuable Question 76: According to the passage, writing_____ A. represents speech, but not perfectly B. developed from imperfect speech C. is imperfect, but less so that speech. D. is represented perfectly by speech Question 77: The word acquire in the passage mostly means_____ A. become aware of something by hearing about it B. gain something by our own efforts or ability C. develop a natural ability or quality so that it improves D. help somebody learn something by giving information about it Question 78: In the passage, the author judges that______ A. writing has more advantages than speech B. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does C. writing is more real speech D. speech is essential but writing has important benefits Question 79: According to the author, one mark of society is that it_______ A. keeps written records B. affirms the primacy of writing over speech C. teaches its children to speak perfectly D. affirms the primacy of speech over writing Question 80: According to the passage, speech began to exist in our life ______ A. just when human being appeared B. when human beings were able to communicate in writing C. when writing became important in our culture D. at least 5000 years ago.
