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 1600D. 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 B. half a million C. 350 million D. 700 million
