C. READING: Read the passage carefully :
Why did English become the international language? In the middle of the
nineteenth century, French was the international language. Then Britain became very
powerful in the world. By 1900, England had colonies in other parts of Asia, Africa
and South Pacific. The people in the colonies had to use English. Slowly it became
more important than French internationally. After the Second World War, the United
States became very powerful, and even more people began to learn English.
English is the native or official language on one-fifth of the land area of the

world. It is spoken in North America, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. In
South Africa and India, it is one of the official languages.
More people study English than any other languages. In many countries, the
textbooks in universities are in English. More than three-fourth of the world’s mail is
in English. More than three-fifth of the world’s radio stations use English, too.

THE END
LISTENING ( Three times)
Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t
cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from
our sun. At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, or
nuclear power. This power could be provided by the sun. One percent of the solar
energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for total population.
Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the
roof of a house and the sun’s energy can be stored for a number a day, so on cloudy
day you can use solar energy too.
Sweden has an advanced solar energy program. There all buildings will be
heated by solar energy and cars will use solar energy instead of gas by the year
2015.
