3. 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 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, but imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that...

3. 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 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, but 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 disregard 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.

66. 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.

67. According to the passage, writing ________

A. is imperfect, but less so than speech. B. represents speech, but not perfectly.

C. developed from imperfect speech. D. is represented perfectly by speech.

68. 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.

69. In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ________

A. people who learn the rudiments of speech. B. people who speak many languages.

C. intelligent people who couldn’t write. D. severely handicapped children.

70. According to the author, one mark of civilized society is that it ________

A. affirms the primacy of speech over writing.

B. affirms the primacy of writing over speech.

C. teaches its children to speak perfectly.

D. keeps written records.

Chúng ta thường nghĩ viết thật hơn nói bởi vì_________.

A. nó rất quan trọng trong nền văn hóa của chúng ta B. con người đã viết kể từ khi có con người

C. viết là ngôn ngữ thứ yếu D. con người đã viết trong ít nhất 5000 năm

Thông tin: Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech.

Tạm dịch: Bởi vì viết trở nên rất quan trọng trong nền văn hóa của chúng ta, đôi khi chúng ta nghĩ về nó thực hơn lời nói.

Chọn A

Dịch bài đọc:

Bởi vì viết trở nên rất quan trọng trong nền văn hóa của chúng ta, đôi khi chúng ta nghĩ về nó thực hơn lời nói. Tuy nhiên, suy nghĩ một chút sẽ thấy tại sao lời nói lại là chủ yếu và viết là thứ yếu với ngôn ngữ. Con người đã viết (như chúng ta có thể nói từ bằng chứng còn sót lại) ít nhất 5000 năm; nhưng học đã nói chuyện lâu hơn thế, chắc chắn kể từ khi có con người.

Khi viết đã phát triển, nó được bắt nguồn từ và thể hiện lời nói, mặc dù không hoàn hảo. Thậm chí ngày nay, có ngôn ngữ nói được mà không có hình thức viết. Hơn nữa, tất cả chúng ta học cách nói tốt trước khi chúng ta học viết; bất kỳ đứa trẻ nào mà không bị khuyết tật nghiêm trọng về thể chất hay tinh thần sẽ học nói: một người bình thường không thể bị ngăn cản làm việc đó. Mặt khác, nó cần một nỗ lực đặc biệt để học viết. Trong quá khứ nhiều thành viên thông minh và hữu ích của xã hội đã không có được kỹ năng đó, và ngay cả ngày nay nhiều người nói ngôn ngữ với hệ thống viết cũng không bao giờ học đọc hoặc viết, trong khi một số người tìm hiểu những nguyên lý cơ bản của những kỹ năng này làm như vậy chỉ không hoàn hảo.

Tuy nhiên, để kh ng định tính ưu việt của lời nói vượt trên viết không phải là chê bai cái sau. Một lợi thế mà viết có trên lời nói là nó lâu dài hơn và làm có thể các ghi ch p mà bất kỳ nền văn minh nào cũng phải có. Do đó, nếu nói làm chúng ta người hơn, viết lại làm cho chúng ta văn minh.
