I. Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to

If we look about the past 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 was French. 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? 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 languages, maybe Chinese, which is
the most widely- spoken native language in the world, takes over as
the world’s international language instead of English.
1.What does the world “which” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Esperanto B. English C. a language D. Chinese
2.What is the main reason why English has become the language of
international communication?
A. Britain’s becoming an C. The development of British
international power B. America’s culture
becoming powerful D. The French losing many
colonies
3.What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Esperanto is difficult to learn. C. The linguists don’t like Esperanto.
B. Esperanto is not a natural D. Esperanto is becoming more and
language more popular
4.What would be a good title for this passage?
A. English language means C. English as an international
English culture language
B. English - a difficult language D. English in the future
to learn
5.According to the passage, what was the most commonly used
language a century ago?
A. Chinese B. French C. English D. Esperanto
II. Fill in the gap with a word given. There is an EXTRA word
