Bài giảng luyện ñề số 06 (Phần 1)

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".
Tchaikovsky's music, well known for its rich melodic and sometimes melancholy passages, was one of
the first that brought serious dramatic music to dance. Before this, little attention had been given to the
music behind the dance. Tchaikovsky died on November 6th, 1893, ostensibly of cholera, though there are
now some scholars who argue that he committed suicide.

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. “ almost uncertainly”
B. “ almost certainly”
C. “ almost impossibly”
D. “ almost doubtfully”
Question 29: In order show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of

________.
A. intelligent who could not write
B. people who learn the rudiments of speech
