VI. Read the text below and select the best option for each blank.
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.
1. According to the passage, a century ago ___________ .
A. educated people throughout Europe spoke English.
B. foreign travelers to England spoke only French.
C. French was much more popular than English.
D. only the French aristocracy could speak English.
2. What is meant by “the language of diplomacy” (line 4)
A. The language used by ordinary people.
B. The language used by the English and the French.
C. The language used by the aristocracy.
D. The language used by governments.
3. What is true according to the passage?
A. The linguists don’t like Esperanto.
B. Esperanto is difficult to learn.
C. Esperanto is not a natural language.
D. Esperanto is becoming more and more popular.
4. The author believes that ___________ .
A. English is easier to learn than Chinese.
B. English will probably be replaced as an international language.
C. Chinese is going to be the next language of international communication.
D. Chinese is growing in popularity among non-native speakers.

5. These days ___________ .


A. French is the language of diplomacy.
C. more people speak French than English.
6. What would be a good title for this passage?
A. English as an international language.
C. English language means English culture.
