Everybody loves the giant panda. That was clear from enthusiasm welcome New Yorkers gave to
Ling Ling and Yong Yong when they arrive at the Bronx zoo in May. The cuddy black and white
pair were on loan for six months from China’s Beijing Zoo, and it was estimated that more than
one million people visited them in New York before they left for a zoo in Tampa, Florida in early
November.
The giant panda, unfortunately, is an endangered species. Only about 700 are left in the wild,
most of them living on reserves in China’s Sichua Province. Despite conservation efforts on the
part of the Chinese government and scientist worldwide, the population continues to decline as
human beings cut down bamboo, the panda’s primary food.
Can the panda be saved? Of course. All it need is bamboo and peace. Every panda population
should have at least two bamboo species available to lessen the impact of die off. Bamboo at low
elevations must be preserved or replanted. Existing reserves need to be expanded and new
reserves created. Poaching must be controlled. Zoos must improve captive breeding to provide
move pandas for their original home.
China’s Ministry of Forestry and the World Wildlife Fund are continuing their collaborative
effort on the panda’s behalf, guided by the spirit of their Joint the agreement that needs: “The
giant panda is not only the precious property of the China people, but also a precious natural
heritage of concern to people all over the world.”

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 35 to 42.
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
Question 35: We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because __________.
A. writing is secondary to language
B. human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years

Question 36: The author of the passage argues that ________.
A. speech is more basic to language than writing
B. writing has become too important in today’s society
C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
D. all languages should have a written form
Question 37: 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
Question 38: Normal human beings
A. learn to talk after learning to write
B. learn to write before learning to talk
C. learn to write and to talk at the same time
D. learn to talk before learning to write
Question 39: Learning to write is __________.
A. easy
B. quick

C. not easy
D. very easy
