E. READING COMPREHENSION
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
English has had a long tradition of borrowing words from other languages. This tradition began
with the conquest of Britain by the Norman-French in 1066. Because these conquerors
established themselves as rulers, their dialect of French became the language of the aristocracy, of
government, and of education. During this period, many French words came into the English
language. Another strong influx of vocabulary came from Latin, which was the language of the
church Today, those words derived from French and Latin, though still identifiable, are not
thought of as foreign by English speakers. Tradition, language and conquest are words that come
to us from this tradition.
The British colonial era, which began in the early 17
l
century, brought English speakers into
contact with many other languages. In North America, words from the Native American peoples
quickly found their ways into the language Examples include moccasin (a kind of soft shoe),
squash (a vegetable)
The presence of Spanish colonies in North America led to the adoption of numerous Spanish
words, such as siesta (a nap) and tortilla (a flat thin pancake). Asian languages also make
contributions. For example, the word pyjamas comes from a Hindi word, khaki comes from Urdu,
and ketchup was borrowed from Chinese. Words from African languages, too, made their ways
into English when African slaves served in the United States. The result of all of this absorption
of new words is a very rich vocabulary that allows users of English to express subtlety of
meaning through their choice of words.
61. Many French words came into the English language when
A French traders did business with the British. B the Norman-French conquered
Britain.

C British people ruled France in early 17
th
century. D African slaves worked in Great
Britain.
62. Tradition, languages and conquest are examples of
A borrowed words no longer considered foreign. B words borrowed from Latin.
C words used in this passage. D words no longer popular in English.
63. Words from the Native American peoples came into English
A when Native American peoples came to Britain.B during the British colonial era
C in the 18
lh
century. D before those from Latin.
64. Words such as squash, tortilla, ketchup were all borrowed from
A other languages. B Asian languages.
C the Native American peoples. D African languages.
65. Which of the following is correct?
A More Latin words came into the English language than French ones.
B English has borrowed many words from French and Latin, although these words are no longer
foreign.
C Users of English like to express subtlety of meaning through words from French.
D Most words of clothing were borrowed from Asian languages.
