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.
26. 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.
27. What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English?
A. Britain’s becoming an international power B. The French losing many colonies
C. American’s becoming powerful D. The development of American culture
28. 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
29. 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
30. What would be a good title for this passage?
A. English in the future B. English as an international language
C. English language means English culture D. English - a difficult language to learn

Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk. Gestures are the "silent language
of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is
important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States,
people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the
handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or
shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.
Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two
and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable
when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person
by accident, they say, "Pardon me. " or "Excuse me. " Americans like to look the other person in the eyes
when they are talking. If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested.
But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well
done. Thumbs down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show
you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right
to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger. Americans shake their index finger at
children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning aculture's body language is sometimes confusing. If you don't know what to do, the safest
thing to do is to smile.

While Western medicine is common throughout the world, it is not the only type of medicine that
people practice. Another kind of medical treatment is known as acupuncture. In general, it is considered to
be an alternative type of medicine, it was developed in China over one thousand years ago, but exactly when
and how it was created remain mysteries. Acupuncture involves the inserting of multiple needles into the
body. The needles are placed at certain points in the body depending on the type of problem the patient has.
According to the theory behind acupuncture, there are places on the skin that are connected to different parts
of the body. By pricking the skin with needles at these points, an acupuncturist can help a patient either
relieve pain or cure various problems.
Acupuncture is popular in many parts of Asia. It is also becoming more common and attracting new
patients in Europe and North America. But many people believe it is ineffective. The main reason they feel
that way is that it is difficult to understand how the entire process works. Research into acupuncture’s
capabilities has yielded varying results. Some studies show that it is quite effective at relieving pain. Other
ones, however, claim that it is merely like a placebo. In other words, people believe acupuncture treatment
will be effective, so it winds up helping them.

There are a number of natural disasters that can strike across the globe. Two that are frequently
linked to one another are earthquakes and tsunamis. Both of them can cause a great amount of devastation
when they hit. However, tsunamis are the direct result of earthquakes and cannot happen without them.
The Earth has three main parts. They are the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is the outer
layer of the Earth. It is not a single piece of land. Instead, it is comprised of a number of plates. There are a
few enormous plates and many smaller ones. These plates essentially rest upon the mantle, which is fluid.
As a result, the plates are in constant - yet slow - motion. The plates may move away from or toward other
plates. In some cases, they collide violently with the plates adjoining them. The movement of the plates
causes tension in the rock. Over a long time, this tension may build up. When it is released, an earthquake
happens.
Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen every year. The vast majority are so small that only
scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful enough that people can feel them, yet they
cause little harm or damage. More powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other
structures to collapse. They may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might even cause the
land to change its appearance.
Since most of the Earth’s surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet’s
oceans. Underwater earthquakes can cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water in
the ocean . When this occurs , a tsunami may form. This is a wave that forms on the surface and moves in all
directions from the place where the earthquake happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can
travel thousands of kilometres. As it approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This
causes the tsunami to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one more than
ten meters in height- can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy human settlements,
and kill large numbers of people.
