 If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be very surprised tofind 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.

A. only the French aristocracy could speak English.
B. French was much more popular than English.

D. educated people throughout Europe spoke English.

A. more people speak French than English	B. more non-natives speak English than natives
C. French is a dying language	D. French is the language of diplomacy
Question 27: The linguists’ opinion on the spread of English is.......
A. split	B. positive	C. undecided	D. negative
Question 28: The author believes that.......
A. Chinese is going to be the next language of international communication
B. Chinese is growing in popularity among non-native speakers
C. English will probably be replaced as an international language
D. English is easier to learn than Chinese
Question 29: What is true according to the passage?
A. Esperanto is not a natural language	B. Esperanto is becoming more and more popular
C. Esperanto is difficult to learn	D. The linguists don’t like Esperanto

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 questions from 35 to 41.
 Although most universities in the United States are on a semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised f fall, winter, spring, and summer quarters. The academic year, September to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each beginning in September, January, and March: the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of vary length.
 There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system. On the plus side, students who wish to complete their degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by enrolling in all four quarters. In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any other quarters. Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used effectively to serve the greatest number of students. But there are several disadvantages as well. Many faculty complain that eleven-week term is simply not enough for them to cover the material required by most college coursed.
 Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time. In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system some colleges and universities have instituted a three-term trimester system. In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early.
