to school do not eat (51) in the middle of the day In Britain schools have to (52) meals at lunchtime Children can (53) to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen

Trang 4item and starchy food like bread or pasta Lunchboxes (55) by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps and chocolate bars Children consume twice as much sugar (56) they should at lunchtime

b Read the passage, and do the task below: (5 × 0,2 = 1,0 pt)
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 5,000 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
61 We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because
A it has become very important in our culture
B people have been writing since there have been human beings
C writing is secondary to language
D human beings have been writing for at least 5,000 years
62 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
Trang 563 In the author’s judgment,
A writing has more advantages than speech
B speech is essential but writing has important benefits
C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does
D writing is more real than speech
64 Which of the following is NOT true?
A Writing has become so important in our culture
B It is easy to acquire the writing skill
C Writing represents speech, but not perfectly
D Speech is essential but writing has important benefits
65 The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means
c Give the correct form of the verbs in brackets (10 × 0,2 = 2,0 pts)
