    The English language grew out of the languages of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. They were Northern European peoples who settled in England   31 （start）in the 5th century AD. By about the 9th century AD the earliest version of the English language,   32 （know）English, or Anglo – Saxon, had developed. To a modern eye, Old English looks like a foreign language. 33 , the major works of Old English literature have been translated into modern English.
    Most scholars agree that the longest surviving poem   34   Old English is Beowulf, a tale of legendary heroes and monsters. It is also one of the first European poems written in a local language rather than Latin. The author’s name is not known. The first Old English poet who is known   35 name is Caedmon. Caedmon was a cowherd who lived before the year 700. His verses（诗文） 36 （base）on Bible stories and had to be written down by others   37   Caedmon himself could not read or write. Cynewulf, who lived in the 800s, was   38   author of religious poetry.
    Late in the 800s, the scholarly king Alfred the Great and many helpers translated important books from Latin   39   English. It was under Alfred   40   the Anglo – Saxon Chronicle, an important record of the early history of England, was begun.
