V.Read the following passage and choose correct answers below :
How can scientists predict earthquake ? Earthquake are not scattered anywhere but happen in certain
areas. They happen in places where pieces of the earth’s surface meet. This pattern causes them to shake
the same place many times. For example, earthquakes often occur in the west-coast of North and South
America, around the Mediterranean Sea, and along the Pacific coast of Asia.
Another way to predict earthquake is to look for changes in the earth’s surface, like a sudden drop of
water in the ground. Some people say animals can predict earthquakes. Before earthquakes people have
seen chickens sitting in trees, fish jumping out of the water, snakes leaving their holes and other animals
acting strangely.
After an earthquake happens, people can die from lack of food, water, and medical supplies. The
amount of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on where it happens, how strong it is. It also
depends on types of building, soil conditions and population. Of the 6,000 earthquakes in the earth each
year, only about fifteen cause great damage and many deaths.

V. Read the following passage and choose correct answers below :
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 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 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.

41. We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because ______.
A. it has become very important in our culture
B. human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years
C. writing is secondary to language
D. people have been writing since there have been human beings
42. The author of the passage argues that ______.
A. all languages should have a written form
B. writing has become too important in today’s society
C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
D. speech is more basic to language than writing
43. Normal human beings ______.
A. learn to talk after learning to write C. learn to write before learning to talk
B. learn to write and to talk at the same time D. learn to talk before learning to write
44. According to the passage, writing ______.
A. is represented perfectly by speech C. represents speech, but not perfectly
B. developed from imperfect speech D. is imperfect, but less so than speech
45. Learning to write is ______.
A. too difficult B. easy C. not easy D. very easy

often chain smoke that means they light one cigarette after another. Smoking is often considered anti-social
