Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means "enemy," and the word malbela therefore means "ugly" in Zamenhofs language In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it He used a pen name, Dr Esperanto, when signing the book He selected the name Esperanto because this word means "a person who hopes" in his language Esperanto clubs began popping up throughout Europe and by1905, Esperanto had spread from Europe to America and Asia In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximately 700 attendees from 20 different countries Congresses were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation Trang 3/6 - Mã đề thi 140 Truy cập www.khongbocuoc.com để tải thêm nhiều tài liệu khác Esperanto has had its ups and downs in the period since World War I Today, years after it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a million people are fluent in it This may seem like a large number, but it is really quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today's world Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking steps to try to make this happen kh on gb oc u oc c om Question 34 The expression "popping up" in the fourth paragraph could best be replaced by A shouting B leaping C hiding D opening Question 35 It can be inferred from the passage that the Third World Congress of Esperanto took place in A 1905 B 1907 C 1913 D 1909 Question 36 This passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on A English grammar B applied linguistics C world government D European history Question 37 Which paragraph describes the predecessor to Esperanto?
