C. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to

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 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),
9
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. 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 normative speakers, constituting the largest
number of normative users than any other language in the world.

D. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each
question.
If you want to take the whole family on holiday, and keep everybody
happy, then I have found just the place for you. I recently went with a
group of friends to stay at the Greenwood Holiday Village, which is
open from May until October.
Built in the centre of a forest, Greenwood is a great place to stay
whatever the weather. Its main attraction for the families is the indoor
World of Water, where young and old can have fun in the different
pools. Some of these, however, are for serious swimmers only.
For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash and
badminton. If your children are too young to join in these sports, there
are activity clubs. Greenwood is a good place for families as it is
traffic-free-you explore on foot or by bike. Some people complained
that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air.
For evening entertainment, there are shows and cinemas.
Accommodation is in a variety of apartments of different sizes. These
have up to four bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a
dining area. Before going, I thought the apartments might not be big
enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised-it was not too
crowded at all.
