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
 	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. 
Question 36: According to the passage, a century ago_______ 
educated people throughout Europe spoke English. 
foreign travelers to England spoke only French. 
French was much more popular than English. 
only the French aristocracy could speak English. 
Question 37: What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English? 
Britain's becoming an international power. 
The French losing many colonies. 
American's becoming powerful. 
The development of American culture. 
Question 38: What is meant by "the language of diplomacy"? 
The language used by ordinary people. 
The language used by the English and the French. 
The language used by the aristocracy. 
The language used by governments. 
Question 39: What is true according to the passage? 
The experts don't like Esperanto.
Esperanto is difficult to learn. 
Esperanto is not a natural language 
Esperanto is becoming more and more popular. 
Question 40: The experts' opinion on the spread of English is _______
 A. split 	 	B. positive 	 	C. negative 	 	D. undecided 
Question 41: The author believes that _______
English is easier to learn than Chinese. 
English will probably be replaced as an international language.

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 
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
