 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 explosion, trade ( including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, slave 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 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 traffic controllers. Today there are more than 700 million English users in the

VII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D t to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the following questions 
 Although they are an inexpensive supplier of vitamins, minerals, and high quality protein, eggs also contain a 
high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease. One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more 
than two-thirds of the suggested daily cholesterol limit. This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent 
years, which in turns has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs. One 
alternative is to eat substitute eggs. 
 These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked. They 
have the advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking. One 
disadvatage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling. A second alternative to regular eggs 
is a new type of egg, sometimes called “designer” eggs. These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets 
consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flax, and rice bran. In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce 
eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs. Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that 
eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans. 
 Eggs producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly. They cite scientific studies to back up 
their claim. And, in fact, studies on the relationship between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed 
results. It may be that it is not the type of egg that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is 
eating the eggs. Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people. In fact, 
there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the body‟s production of blood cholesterol. Consequently, while it 
still makes sense to limit one‟s intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating 30 
dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level. 
Question 51: According to the passage, which of the following is a cause of heart disease?

Question 52: The word “portrayed” i could best replaced by which of the following?

C. increasing egg intake but not fat intake D. increasing egg intake and fat intake 
Question 54: What does the author mean by the phrase “mixed results” in line 15?
