Many factors contribute to the gradual spread of language-chiefly political and military might, economic power, and religious influence (all of which artificial languages lack). These same factors mean that the development of a world language is not viewed with enthusiasm by those who would have to learn it. Such a language, it could be argued, would give its culture an unprecedented influence in world affairs and scientific research. For example, scientists who used it as a mother tongue would be in a privileged position: they would not have to spend time learning it and would more easily assimilate ideas expressed in it. Further more, it is thought, a world language would inevitably erode the status of minority language and pose a threat to the identity of the nations. Many people thus view the current progress of English towards world- language status with concern and often with antagonism. Ironically, the main danger to the growth of a world language comes from within. As the language becomes used in all corners of the world, by people from all walks of life, so it begins to develop new spoken varieties which are need by local people as symbols of their identity. In the course of time these varieties might become mutually unintelligible. How far this diversification will effects English cannot be predicted. It is not easy to weigh the trend towards unity that results from increased modern contacts through travel and communications. A hundred years ago, predictions were being made that British and American English would be mutually unintelligible. Linguistic predictions have a habit of being wrong. 16. According to the writer what is the feature of an artificial language? A. It threatens the identification of a particular nation. B. It is more easily learnt. C. It has no religious influence. D. It can spread more quickly than a natural language. 17. What does the writer see as the train drawback of a world language? A. Everybody has to learn it. B. It is easily assimilated . C. It favors its native culture. D. Scientists can win many privileges. 18. According to this text what is notable about the growth of English? A. It strengthens small nations. B. People come to value minority languages more. C. It is not always popular. D. Its adoption is essential to progress. 19. According to the writer what seems to happen when a language spreads? A. It may be transformed. B. People no longer understand each other. C. The educational system has to change. D. It encourages cultural standardization. 20. What does the writer conclude? A. It is possible to predict the future of English. B. British and American English will become mutually unintelligible. C. English will break up into new varieties. D. Modem communications may favor the unity of English. 2 Section C: Fill each of the numbered blanks in the following passage by using only one word in each space There are many different opinions about the Seaside Cafe.

I am sending you this description of where the jade horse in hidden. If anything should happen to me, the horse belongs to you and out sister, Winnie. It’s been in our family for many generations and is worth more then one million dollars. I had a letter from Winnie recently with her new address in Australia. Her married name is Sung. Her address is 26 Middle Road. New South Wales, Australia. Now the horse is buried in the small forest about two kilometers from my village of Yangshuo. Follow the road north from the village and take the first turn on the left. That’s north out of the village and first left turn. Walk past the small temple on your left and continue walking until you come to a lake. So keep walking past the temple until you reach the lake. Cross the lake on the stepping stones and walking along the path until you come to a river. Have you got that – over the lake on the stepping stones and along the path to the river. Walk across the bridge, turn right and climb up the steps. The steps lead to a waterfall. Behind the waterfall is a small cave. So that’s up the steps to the waterfall and then go into the small cave. The jade horse is buried at the back of the cave.
