 dogs and lemonade, and, of course, a fireworks display at night. In some towns across the country, 
 however, special events are planned in honor of the occasion. 
 In Bristol, Rhode Island, fire engine teams from communities throughout New England compete in a 
 contest to squirt water from their fire hoses. Flafstaff, Arizona hosts a huge three-day powwow, including 
 a rodeo for twenty Native American tribes. The annual Eskimo games with traditional kayak races are

 up the fourteen-thousand-foot precipice at Pike's Peak in Colorado.

Read 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 from 33 to 39. 
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. 
Question 33: 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 
Question 34: The author of the passage argues that _____. 
 A. writing has become too important in today’s society 
 B. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write 
 C. speech is more basic to language than writing 
 D. all languages should have a written form 
Question 35: Normal human beings _____. 
 A. learn to write before learning to talk 
 B. learn to talk before learning to write 
 C. learn to write and to talk at the same time 
 D. learn to talk after learning to write 
Question 36: According to the passage, writing _____. 
 A. is represented perfectly by speech B. is imperfect, but less so than speech 
 C. represents speech, but not perfectly D. developed from imperfect speech 
Question 37: In the author’s judgment, _____. 
 A. writing has more advantages than speech 
 B. speech is essential but writing has important benefits 
 C. writing is more real than speech
