If we look about the past 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 was French. 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? 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 languages, maybe Chinese, which is the most
widely- spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world’s international language instead of English.
31.What does the world “which” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Esperanto B. English C. a language D. Chinese
32.What is the main reason why English has become the language of international communication?
A. Britain’s becoming an international power C. The development of British culture
B. America’s becoming powerful D. The French losing many colonies
33.What is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Esperanto is difficult to learn. C. The linguists don’t like Esperanto.
B. Esperanto is not a natural language D. Esperanto is becoming more and more popular
34.What would be a good title for this passage?
A. English language means English culture C. English as an international language
B. English - a difficult language to learn D. English in the future
35.According to the passage, what was the most commonly used language a century ago?
A. Chinese B. French C. English D. Esperanto

water that made it more beautiful. 1 could see some cows roaming the field and eating grass. My brother and sister
also went with me that day. With the sun shining and a blue sky over our heads, the day was perfect for enjoying the
countryside. After arriving there, we relaxed and enjoyed the natural view around us first. Then we rented a boat
and rode it into the river to do some fishing, and luckily, we caught some big fish. Finally, we decided to go for a walk
in a beautiful small forest where we discovered a lot of birds and animals. We tried to count how many different
