In the first half of the nineteenth century, the U.S government decided that it needed to set up a system for protecting its coastline It then began building a series of forts along the coast of the eastern part of the country to facilitate its defenses

The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson, which was begun in 1846 This fort was built on Garden Key, one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West At the time of its construction Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the United States because of its location at the entryway to the Gulf of Mexico Because of its location at the entrance to a great body of water, it became known as the Gibraltar of the Gulf, in reference to the island located at the mouth of the Mediterranean The fort itself was a massive structure It was hexagonal in shape, with 8-foot-thick walls, and was surrounded by a medieval-style moat for added security Covering most

of the Garden Key, it was approximately half a mile in circumference

In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort was used

as a prison rather than a military installation The most notorious of its prisoners was Dr Samuel Mudd, a physician who was the most probably innocently involved in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln The actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as he left from the stage of the Ford

e e d e dd e e e e e e

in the assassination As a result of this action, Dr Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort Jefferson He was pardoned after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combating an epidemic of yellow fever that ravaged the fort

Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S Navy continued with

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, language It was created more than a century ago by

Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to

alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures

In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as

uncomplicated as possible This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, eb, be, and ce This did

not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic words, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain

Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end

in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means “pretty” Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means “enemy”, and the word malbela therefore means “ugly” in Zamenhof’s language.

In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it He used a pen name, Dr.Esperanto, when signing the book He selected the name Esperanto because this word means “a person

who hopes” in his language Esperanto clubs began (popping up) throughout Europe, and by 1950,

Esperanto had spread from Europe toAmerica andAsia

In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place inFrance, with approximately700 attendeesfrom 20 different countries Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees wereregistered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted andforced its cancellation

Esperanto has had its (ups and downs) in the period since World War I Today, years after it was

introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it This may seem like alarge number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billionMandarin Chinese speakers in today’s world Current advocates would like to see its use growconsiderably and are taking steps to try to make this happen

1: The topic of this passage is

A.how language can be improve

B a language developed in the last few years

C one man’s efforts to create a universal language

D using language to communicate internationally

2: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language

3: It can be inferred from the passage that the Esperanto word malespera means

7: The expression “ups and downs” in line 23 is closest in meaning to

8: Which paragraph describes the predecessor to Esperanto?

9: The passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on

D applied linguistics

A how current supporters of Esperanto are encouraging its growth

B another of Zamenhof’s accomplishments

C the disadvantages of using an artificial language

D attempts to reconvene the World Congress of Esperanto in the 1920s
