If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the aristocracy, was French In

fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education However, that is not the case

nowadays English has replaced French as the international language of communication Today there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language

There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication

Britain's colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due to America's rise to the position of major world power This helped spread popular American culture

throughout the world bringing the language with it

But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language specialists seem to be divided over this issue There are those who claim that it is important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world have in common According to others, English is

associated with a particular culture and therefore promotes that culture at the expense of others Linguists have suggested "Esperanto", an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international

communication problems but without success So, English will continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely-spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world's international language instead of English

Question 31 What would be a good title for this passage?

A English; Past, Present and Future

B English as an international Language

Question 32 What is meant by “the language of diplomacy” in paragraph 1?

A The language used by ordinary people.

B The language used by the English and the French.

D The language used by governments.

Question 33 What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English?

A Britain's becoming an international power.

B The French losing many colonies.

C America's becoming powerful.

D The development of American culture.

Question 34 The word “artificially” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _

A unnaturally B negatively C intentionally D positively

Question 35 Which of the following is TRUE about English as stated in the passage?

A One hundred year ago, among European countries, only the French aristocracy use English.

B People speaking English as the mother-tongue language is more than those using English as

second language

C Chinese is likely to be commonly used as a lingua franca instead of English

Advertising relies on the techniques of market research to identify potential users of a product Are

they homemakers or professional people? Are they young or old? Are they city dwellers or country

dwellers?

American households fit this stereotype Instead, society is fragmented into many groups, with working mothers, single people and older people on the rise To be most successful, advertising must identify a particular segment and aim its message toward that group
