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 36 to 42.

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 Zamenhofs 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 0, 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 Zamenhofs 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 by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and

Asia

In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately

700 attendees from 20 different countries Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced 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 a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today's world Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen

Question 36 The expression "popping up" in the fourth paragraph could best be

replaced by

A shouting B leaping C hiding D opening

Question 37 It can be inferred from the passage that the Third World Congress of

Esperanto took place in

A 1905 B 1907 C 1913 D 1909

Question 38 This passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on .

A English grammar B applied linguistics

C world government D European history

Question 39 According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal

language _

A to provide a more complex language B to build a name for himself

C to resolve cultural differences D to create one world culture

Question 40 The topic of this passage is .

A.using language to communicate internationally

B. how language can be improved

C.a language developed in the last few years

D.one man's efforts to create a universal language

Question 41 The expression "ups and downs" in the last paragraph is closed in

meaning to

A takeoffs and landings B highs and lows

C floors and ceilings D tops and bottoms

Question 42 The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses

A.another of Zamenhofs accomplishment

B. the disadvantages of usi:1g an artificial language

C.how current supporters of Esperanto are encouraging its growth

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