The ancient Egyptians firmly believed in the afterlife and spent their time on earth preparing for it. 
Elaborate burial rituals included preparing the burial site, providing for all of the deceased's material 
needs(food, clothing, jewels and tools for their trade), and preserving the corpse so that it would not decay. 
This preservation was accomplished through a process of mummification. The ancients left no written 
accounts as the execution of this process, so scientists have had to examine mummies and establish their 
own theories. The embalming process might have taken up to seven days for the pharaohs and nobility and 
only a few days for the poor. 
The embalmers spread a variety of compounds of salt, spices and resins in allover the corpse to 
preserve it. They followed this with a prescribed wrapping, a procedure in which the wound strips of fine 
linen around, over and under the body while placing various amulets within the wrappings to protect the 
deceased from harm n the long journey to the afterlife. They also painted resins over the wrapped linen 
Finally, a pharaoh or noble would have been encased in a wooden box before being placed in a sarcophagus.

 A. Accurate records have been handed down to us. 
B. Interviews with embalmers who still use the process have revealed the secret. 
 C. After studying mummies, scientists have developed their own theories.

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 to day emerged around 1350, 
after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion 
off 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not expanded 
even as far as Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two century, English 
began too 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 percent oof the information scored 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 airport, 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 other language in the world. 
Question 44: What is the main topic of the 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.
