VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant language of
international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having incorporated many
elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the
most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland. However, during
the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade
(including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became
established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities proliferated, English gradually became the
primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two- thirds
of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising,


media, international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the
world, and over half of these are nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any
other language in the world.

Read the passage and choose the correct answers.
For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the surface of the Moon.
Modern astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has been able to satisfactorily explain how
or why the Moon sporadically sparks. However, researchers now believe they have found the cause.
Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during the Apollo
missions and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen, and argon. The researchers
suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rock cracks, may ignite these gases. Indeed, lunar rock samples, when
fractured in the lab, throw off sparks.
What causes these rocks to crack on the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at the borders between

sunlight and shade on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensely heated or cooled. A sudden change in
temperature may cause thermal cracking. Another possibility is that meteors may strike the rocks and cause them to
crack. Finally, lunar rocks may be fractured by seismic events - in other words, by tiny moonquakes.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.
Research has indicated that dyslexia has biological origin, and most investigators now suspect that dyslexic
children read poorly as a result of highly specific language problem, sometimes called "phonological unawareness".
Dyslexic children cannot easily learn to read because they have trouble associating printed letters with the sounds of
speech. A similar problem occurs in congenitally deaf people who have mastered the linguistic complexities and
subtleties of sign language but have trouble learning to read .
Evidence also exists suggesting that the root cause for much dyslexia is a problem with processing very rapidly
changing sensory stimuli. For example, studies have shown that dyslexic children have trouble making accurate
distinctions between similar auditory signals. They often cannot hear the difference between speech sounds such as
"pall", "dah" , and "bah". Recently, differences have been noted between the visual pathways of dyslexics and those of
nondyslexics that suggest a comparable problem with fast-changing visual stimuli. Researchers have also found several
other neuroanatomical abnormalities in the temporal lobe and in other areas of the brain. All of these studies are
extremely valuable in helping researchers understand the mechanisms underlying reading problems so that dyslexic
children can be accurately identified and more efficiently helped.
