Your answer:
III. Circle the best option A, B, C, or D to answer the following questions: (1.0 point)
Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea
has served the need of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel
to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two thirds of the world’s population live within 80 km
of the sea coast.
In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive.
Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply
many of man’s needs. The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is
impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. A lot of valuable
minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of
fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm
temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean
currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of
strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. Experts believe that by the year
2050s the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the food, minerals, and energy sources
of the sea will be largely solved.
1. The best title for this passage is ……………..…..
A. Sea Harvest. B. Technology and the Exploiting of the Sea.
C. Sea Food. D. Man and Sea.
2. The major things that the sea offers man are ……………..…..
A. food, energy sources and minerals. B. fish and oil.
C. minerals and oil. D. ocean currents and waves.
3. The sea serves the needs of man because ……………..…..
A. it provides man with sea food. B. it offers oil to man.
C. it supplies man with minerals. D. all of the above.
4. The word Oriental people in the fourth paragraph probably means ……………..…..
A. European people. C. Asian people. B. African people. D. American people.
5. We can conclude from the passage that ……………..…..
A. the sea resources have largely been used up.
B. the sea, in a broad sense, hasn’t yet been developed.
C. the problems that prevent us from fully exploiting the sea have already been solved.
D. by the year 2050, the technology will be good enough to exploit all the sea resources.

Part I. Read the passage below and choose the best answer from the four
options marked A, B, C or D. (1 point)
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.
1. What is the main topic of this passage?
A. The number of non-native users of English
B. The French influence on the English language.
C. The expansion of English as an international language.
D. The use of English for science and technology.
2. The word “ emerged” in paragraph 1 means ________.
A. appeared B. hailed C. frequented D. engaged
3. Approximately, when did English begin to be used beyond England?
A. in 1066 B. around 1350 C. before 1600 D. after 1600
4. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “stored” in paragraph
2?
A. bought B. saved C. spent D. valued
5. According to the passage, approximately how many non-native users of English
are there in the world today?
A. a quarter million C. 350 million
