V. READING COMPREHENSION (0.5 pt)
Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the dominant
language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having
incorporated many elements of French that was introduced following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the
1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not extended even as far as Wales,
Scotland or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities
proliferated, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English. Two – thirds
of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media,
international airports, and air traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the world,
and over half of these are non-native speakers, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any
language in the world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults. They learned
mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken language. Eventually cultures
around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed they set up schools to teach reading, writing,
maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich and powerful families.
Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures the religious leaders formed the
highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools focused on military training.
Sometimes youths attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills were meant to help
them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other useful skills. Over
time education became available to more people, not just the rich and powerful. The governments of some
countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s. More schools opened to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing became a regular part of
formal education. As education became more important to people, teachers' colleges opened. The requirements
for becoming a teacher became stricter. Teaching became a highly respected profession.
