IX. Read the following passage and choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers each of

For many people the language of Internet is English. ‘World, Wide, Web: Three English
words’ was the name of an article by Michael Specter in the New York Times a few year ago.
The article went on to say: ‘If you want to take full advantage of the Internet, there is only one
real way do it: learn English’.
In general, it is not difficult to learn to use Internet services. But although Internet
services are rather easy to use, you will have considerable difficulties if you are not familiar
with English. In fact, knowledge of English is one of the most important aspects that help you
use the Internet.
Learning to use a new Internet service may take a few hours, a few days, or some weeks,
but it takes years to learn a language so that you can learn it fluently and confidently. Of
course, when you know some English, you can learn more just by using it on the Internet. But
at least your English should be good enough to understand commonly used words and to know
what to do on the Internet.
1. This passage talks about
A. using the Internet B. the role of English on the Internet
C. learning English D. services of the Internet
2. The opposite of the word advantage in the passage is
A. unadvantage B. inadvantage
C. disadvantage D. imadvantage
3. The word it in the passage refers to
A. English B. the Internet
C. the service D. a language

4
4 . Which of the following is not true?
A. Internet is serviced widely
B. English is very necessary on the Internet
C. We learn English by using the Internet
D. Using a language fluently will not take you several years
5. The word commonly in the passage is closest in meaning to
A. widely B. successfully C. necessarily D. normally
