Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of a 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 were 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), colonisation, 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 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. TwoEnglish 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 nonnative speakers, constituting the largest number of nonnative users than any
other language in the world.

II. Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question
Pollution can be seen not only throughout the world, but also in our own homes. It comes from household chemicals; the amount
of water people use and the waste people produce and throw away. What can be done to stop this pollution? Surprisingly, a person
can help save the environment by doing simple things.
First, we need to recycle, which allows products to be used over and over again. Recycling can also reduce the number of trees
cut down to produce paper products. It takes very little effort. It is not hard to place plastic and glass bottles, aluminum cans and
paper in a bin. Anyone can do it.
Second, we need to watch the amount of water used in the home. It can be conserved by taking short showers instead of baths,
repairing leaky faucets, using the dishwasher or washing machine only when fully loaded, or simply turning the faucet off while
brushing your teeth.
Third, we need to reduce waste. We need to recycle whenever possible, but should also try to use this waste effectively. For
example, grass clippings and food scraps can be made into compost for plants. The average person produces 4.3 pounds of waste
every day, but we can reduce that amount by recycling and reusing it.
If we do our part in our own homes, we can help keep the planet from becoming more polluted.
