Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial language. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language would help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures. In Zamenhof’s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, eb, be and ce. This did not result in a workable language in that these monosyllabic, though short, were not easy to understand or to retain. Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in o, as in the noun amiko, which means “friend”, and all adjectives end in -a, as in the adjective bela, which means “pretty”. 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 Zamenhof’s 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 by 1950, 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. 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. Question 36: The topic of this passage is ________. A. one man’s efforts to create a universal language B. using language to communicate internationally C. a language developed in the last few years D. how language can be improved Question 37: According to the passage, Zamenhof wanted to create a universal language A. to build a name for himself B. to provide a more complex language C. to create one world culture D. to resolve cultural differences Question 38: The expression “popping up” could best be replaced by ________. A. opening B. shouting C. hiding D. leaping Question 39: According to passage, what happened to the Tenth World Esperanto Congress? A. It had attendees from 20 countries B. It had 4,000 attendees C. It never took place D. It was scheduled for 1915 Question 40: The expression “ups and downs” is closest in meaning to ________. A. highs and lows B. floors and ceilings C. take offs and landings D. tops and bottoms. Question 41: Which paragraph describes the predecessor to Esperanto? A. The first paragraph B. The second paragraph C. The third paragraph D. The fourth paragraph Question 42: The passage would most likely be assigned reading in a course on ________. A. European history B. English grammar C. world government D. applied linguistics Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISTS Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways. Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a criminal. On July 16th, 1979, Paul Watson and his crew were on his ship, which is called the Sea Shepherd. Watson and the people who work on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal. However, they had a strange prey; instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Paul Watson and his workers thought that they had been successful. The Sierra had been a whaling ship, which had operated illegally. The captain and the crew of the Sierra did not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they could, quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later, they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten. Paul Watson tried to persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the commission did very little, and Paul became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay $25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal whaling ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that the whales must be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of the government; therefore, his actions were controversial. Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth. Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they have become impatient. Yet, because of their concern for the environment, they will act to protect it.

Người ta thường nói rằng tạo một ấn tượng đầu tiên tốt là rất quan trọng, và theo những nghiên cứu gần đây, có vẻ như có một cái gì đó liên quan đến nó. Trong cuốn sách của mình, Blink, tác giả Malcolm Gladwell nói rằng chúng ta hình thành quan điểm về ai đó trong 2 giây đầu tiên sau khi gặp họ. Nói cách khác, nếu Gladwell đúng, hầu hết chúng ta đánh giá về những người mà chúng ta gặp gần như ngay lập tức. Điều đó có nghĩa là chúng ta tạo ấn tượng đầu tiên tốt hơn khi chúng ta than thiện. Một nụ cười ấm áp thực sự có thể tạo sự khác biệt. Và nếu chúng ta có sở thích chung, người kia có thể cảm thấy họ muốn biết chúng ta. Tuy nhiên, khi chúng ta gặp ai đó nước ngoài nói tiếng nước ngoài, chúng ta không cần phải giữ khoảng cách với họ. Nếu chúng ta quyết định chấp nhận rắc rối để giao tiếp, chúng ta có thể làm quen một người bạn mới. Question 36.
