Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the following questions.
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 grew,
English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, more than 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 non-native
speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users of any language in the world.
Question 26: Approximately when did English begin to be used beyond England?
A. in 1066
B. around 1350
C. before 1600
D. after 1600

English around the world?

C. missionaries
D. colonization

A. English became a world language around 1350.
B. Less than half of information stored on computer systems in the world is now in English.
C. English borrowed a lot from French.
D. Currently English is not spoken in Wales, Scotland, or Ireland.
Question 29: According to the passage, approximately how many non-native users of English are
there in the world today?
A. a quarter million B. half a million
C. 350 million

The point at which physical decline with age begins adversely to affect a driver’s capability

drivers. Part of the ageing process, however, does include the (37)________ of experience, often in
the subconscious, which triggers (38)________ danger warnings than in younger drivers who have
not experienced similar situations. This (39)________ of judgment heightens the perception of risk

When something terrible happens, such as an earthquake or a flood, people need help. At
these times, they work together in groups. On January 17, 1995, a powerful earthquake hit the city
of Kobe, Japan. Many buildings burned or collapsed. Part of an expressway fell over. Train lines
were damaged, and supplies of electricity, gas, and water were cut off. Soon after the earthquake

Japan helped, too. A rescue team with search dogs came from Switzerland. A group of doctors,
