May 7th, 1840 was the birthday of one of the most famous Russian composers of the nineteenth century Peter Illich Tchaikovsky The son of a mining inspector, Tchaikovsky studied music as a child and later

studied composition at the St Petersburg Conservatory His greatest period of productivity occurred between 1876 and 1890, during which time he enjoyed the patronage of Madame Von Meck, a woman

he never met, who gave him a living stipend of about $1,000.00 a year Madame Von Meck later

terminated her friendship with Tchaikovsky, as well as his living allowance when she, herself, was facing

financial difficulties It was during the time of Madame Von Meck's patronage, however, that Tchaikovsky created the music for which he is most famous, including the music for the ballets of "Swan Lake" and "The Sleeping Beauty"

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

Question 28: The word “ doubtless” in the passage mostly means

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

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

B “ gain something by our own efforts or ability”

Question 35: in the passage, the author judges that ?

A speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does

B writing has more advantages than speech

C writing is more real speech

D speech is essential but writing has important benefits

Question 36: According to the author, one mark of society is that it

A teaches its children to speak perfectly B keeps written records
