24、 generationsF. genuinelyG. insteadH. listsI. promulgatedJ. publicizedK. scantL. shapedM. sophisticatedN. transplantedO. virtual Imagine a world without writing. Obviously there would be no books: no novels, no encyclopedias, no cookbooks, no textbooks, no telephone books, no scriptures, no diaries,

25、no travel guides. There would be no ball-points, no typewriters, no computers, no Internet, no magazines, no movie credits, no shopping lists, no newspapers, no tax returns. But such (31)_ of objects almost miss the point. The world we live in has been indelibly marked by the written word, (32)_ by

26、the technology of writing over thousands of years. Ancient kings proclaimed their authority and (33)_ their laws in writing. Scribes administered great empires by writing, their knowledge of recording and retrieving information essential to governing complex societies. Religious traditions were pass

27、ed on through (34)_, and spread to others, in writing. Scientific and technological progress was achieved and (35)_ through writing. Accounts in trade and commerce could be kept because of writing. Nearly every step of civilization has been mediated through writing. A world without writing would bea

28、r (36)_ resemblance to the one now we live in. Writing is a (37)_ necessity to the societies anthropologists call civilizations. A civilization is distinguished from other societies by the complexity of its social organization, by its construction of cities and large public buildings, and by the eco

29、nomic specialization of its members, many of whom are not (38)_ involved in food procurement or production. A civilization, with its taxation and tribute systems, its trade, and its public works, requires a (39)_ system of record keeping. And so the early civilizations of Egypt, China, and (probably

30、) India all developed a system of writing. Only the Peruvian civilization of the Incas and their predecessors did not use writing but (40)_ invented a system of keeping records on knotted color-coded strings known as quipu.PART V READING COMPREHENSION35 MINSECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS In this
