Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate your answer.<br />
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating<br />
without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The<br />
basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for<br />
example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for<br />
communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in<br />
and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently.<br />
Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship<br />
with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides<br />
performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also<br />
communicate certain cultural messages.<br />
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major<br />
disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being<br />
directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a<br />
result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be<br />
based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems,<br />
electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on<br />
the horizon.<br />

A. Communication<br />

36. According to the passage, what is a signal?<br />
A. A form of communication which may be used across long distances.<br />
B. A form of communication that interrupts the environment.<br />
C. The most difficult form of communication to describe<br />
D. The form of communication most related to cultural perception.<br />
37. The word “it” in paragraph refers to ________.<br />

A. inefficient<br />
B. complicated<br />
C. historical<br />
D. uncertain<br />
39. Why were the telephone, radio, and television invented?<br />
A. Because people were unable to understand signs, signals, and symbols.<br />
B. Because people wanted new forms of communication.<br />
C. Because people believed that signs, signals, and symbols were obsolete.<br />
