1. 
   One of the world’s longest leapers is the flea: it can jump 13 inches – about 350 times its own length. For a person six feet tall, this would be like jumping approximately 2,000 feet, or almost seven football fields. No one yet leaped even as much as 30 feet. A seemingly inexhaustible jumper is the oriental rat flea: it can jump 600 times an hour for three whole days without stopping.
   
2. 
   Animals exchange information about food, about territory, about danger and safety. They express fear, hunger, anger, pleasure, and recognition. Animal messages are not always expressed in sounds. The scratches on the tree were made by a large bear that was saying, “I’m a very large bear, and this is my territory!” Some animals mark their territory in different ways.
   
3. 
   Every day the earth is bombarded by rocks from space. As many as 200 million visible meteors enter the earth’s atmosphere daily. A much greater number of unseen meteors travel through outer space. As meteors speed toward the earth, friction caused by meteors moving against the air makes them so hot that they glow. People who see the bright glow of meteors falling through the night sky often call them “shooting stars”. Other people have reported them as UFOs.
   
4. 
   Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols, which have been engraved on walls, bones and the ivory tusks of mammoths. The nomads who have made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By correlating markings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon.
   
5. 
   The seamen of old could not venture far into the oceans. They had good boats, and they were brave and skilled sailors, but they had no compass. It is true that they could find their way by the sun or by the North Star, if the weather were clear. However they would never have found their way back, if they had ventured far from shore in a foggy or cloudy weather. So, they were always obliged to keep in sight of land.
   
6. 
   When the meteorite strikes the earth, it makes a loud noise as it breaks into pieces. In 1908 one of them hit the earth with such force that people 80 kilometers away heard and felt its blast. The meteorite weighted several metric tons and burned up a 32-kilometer area in Siberia. Another meteorite made a crater that is larger than the moon’s biggest crater. The 290-kilometer-wide hole is found on the shore of Hudson Bay in Canada.
   
7. 
   Future historians will be in a unique position when they come to record the history of our own times. They will hardly know which facts to select from the great mass of evidence that steadily accumulates. What is more, they will not have to rely solely on the written word. Film, gramophone records, and magnetic tapes will provide them with a bewildering amount of information. But the historian attempting to reconstruct the distant past is always faced with a difficult task.

The world is in transition, and the English language will take new forms. The language and how it is used will change, reflecting patterns of contacts with other languag­es and the changing communication needs of people.

English is divesting itself of its political and cultural connotations as more people realize that English is not the property of only a few countries. Instead, 1______________ and will lead to more opportunities. It belongs to whoever uses it for whatever purpose or need.

The widespread use of English as a language of wider communication will continue to exert pressure toward global uniformity. This could result in declining standards, 2 _________ .

On the other hand, because English is the vehicle for international communication and because it forms the basis for constructing cultural identities, 3 ___________. This trend may lead to fragmentation of the language and threaten the role of English as a lingua franca. However, there have always been major differences between varieties of English.

There is no reason to believe that any other lan­guage will appear within the next fifty years to replace English. However, 4 _____________ in the XXI century. Rather, a small number of languages may form an oligopoly — each with a special area of influence. For example, Spanish is rising because of expanding trade and the increase of the Latino popu­lation in the United States. This could create a bilingual English-Spanish region.

A language shift, in which individuals change their linguistic allegiances, is another possibility. These shifts are slow and difficult to predict. But within the next fifty years, substantial language shifts could occur as 5___________. Because of these shifts in allegiance, more languages may disappear. Those remaining will rapidly get more native speakers. This in­cludes English.

Internal migration and urbanization may restructure areas, thereby creating communities where English be­comes the language of interethnic communication — a neutral language.

While languages such as English, German, and French have become international languages because of 6___________, this is less likely to be the case in the XXI century where economics and demograph­ics will have more influence on languages.

A. lan­guage changes and the loss of geolinguistic diversity

B. it is possible that English will not keep its monopoly

C. economic development affects more countries

D. because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish

E. it is a vehicle that is used globally

F. many local varieties could instead develop

G. their governments' political powers

We seldom know when most games were introduced, but the date when crosswords were 1____ played is fixed.

At the beginning of the 20^th century, the editor of a large Cape Town newspaper received a letter in which the author wrote that during his vacation he 2 ____ an interesting game. There was a sheet of paper in the letter with a large number of little squares drawn on it. There were numbers in the squares and on the back of the sheet there was a row of questions 3 ____ with the numbers in the squares. The answers to the questions 4 ____ at the bottom of the page.

The editor read the letter, laughing over a strange game, and then put the letter in his pocket and 5 ____ about it.
