Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each question. (1 point) 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.

Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “stored” in paragraph 2? A. bought B. saved C. spent D. valued 65. 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 Part 4.
