In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word radar, in fact, gets its name from the term radio detection and ranging. Ranging is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.

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. Cu 31: 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 Cu 32: The author of the passage argues that ______. A. all languages should have a written form B. writing has become too important in todays society C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write D. speech is more basic to language than writing Cu 33: Normal human beings ______. B. learn to write before learning to talk A. learn to talk after learning to write C. learn to write and to talk at the same time D. learn to talk before learning to write Cu 34: According to the passage, writing ______. B. represents speech, but not perfectly A. is represented perfectly by speech C. developed from imperfect speech D. is imperfect, but less so than speech Cu 35: Learning to write is ______. B. easy C. not easy D. very easy A. too difficult Cu 36: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ______.
