As the English language has changed at a fast speed in this century, so has the use of

the English language.

After the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was founded in 1927, the particular style. of speech of the BBC announcers was recognized as Standard English or Received Pronunciation (RP) English.Now, most people still consider that the pronunciation and delivery of BBC announcers is the clearest and most understandable spoken English.

English has had a strong association with class and social status.However, since the Second World War there has been a considerable change of attitude towards speech snobbery, and hallmarks of class distinction such as styles of speech have been gradually discarded, especially by the younger generation.

As the need has arisen, new words have been invented or found from other languages and incorporated into English.Similarly, old words and expressions have been discarded as their usefulness has diminished or the fashions have passed.This also happens to styles and modes of speech which became fashionable at a particular time and in specific circumstances.

By the end of the 1960s it became apparent that it was not necessary to speak Standard English or even correct grammar to become popular, successful and rich.The fashionable speech of the day was no longer the prerogative of a privileged class but rather a defiant expression of class lessness.

The greatest single influence of the shaping of the English language in modern times is the American English.Over the last 25 years the English used by many people, particularly by those in the media, advertising and show business, has become more and more mid-Atlantic in style, delivery and accent.

In the 1970s, fashion favoured stressless pronunciation and a language full of jargon, slang and “in” words, much of it quite incomprehensible to the outside world.What is considered modern and fashionable in Britain today is often not the kind of English taught in schools and colleges.

1.Which one of the following is NOT true？

A.The use of the English language has not changed much in this century.

B.The BBS announcers speak Standard English.

C.English has no association with class and social status now.

D.Young people all speak English in the same way.

2.What does the author imply by saying “there has been a considerable change of attitude towards speech snobbery” (Para.3)？

A.People all speak English like BBC announcers.

B.There is a great change of attitude about how English should be spoken.

C.Some people still think their way of speaking is inferior.

D.Most people don’t believe their way of speaking is inferior.

3.According to the author, there was a trend in the U.S.for the young people _________.

A.to speak Standard English.

B.to speak English without class distinction

C.to speak English with class distinction

D.to speak English with grammar mistakes

4.The word “mid-Atlantic” in the passage (Para.6) probably means _________.

A.American and European

B.American and British

C.the Atlantic Ocean

D.in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean

5.It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A.Standard English is taught in school and colleges

B.the young people are defiant because they refuse to speak standard English

C.English language is influenced by American English in the last 25 years

D.there has been a great change in the English language in this century

Six Potential Brain Benefits of Bilingual EducationA) Brains，brains，brains. People are f

Six Potential Brain Benefits of Bilingual Education

A) Brains，brains，brains. People are fascinated by brain research. And yet it can be hard to point to places where our education system is really making use of the latest neuroscience(神经科学) findings.But there is one happy link where research is meeting practice: bilingual(双语的)education.“In thelast 20 years or so，there's been a virtual explosion of research on bilingualism,”says Judith Kroll，aprofessor at the University of California，Riverside.

B)Again and again，researchers have found，“ bilingualism is an experience that shapes our brain for life,”in the words of Gigi Luk，an associate professor at Harvard's Graduate School of Education. Atthe same time，one of the hottest trends in public schooling is what's often called dual-language or two-way immersion programs.

C)Traditional programs for English-language learners，or ELLs，focus on assimilating students into

English as quickly as possible. Dual-language classrooms，by contrast，provide instruction acrosssubjects to both English natives and English learners，in both English and a target languagc. The goal isfunctional bilingualism and biliteracy for all students by middle school. New York City，NorthCarolina，Delaware，Utah，Oregon and Washington state are among the places expanding dual-language classrooms.

D)The trend flies in the face of some of the culture wars of two decades ago，when advocates insisted on “English first”education.Most famously，California passed Proposition 227 in 1998. It was intendedto sharply reduce the amount of time that English-language learners spent in bilingual settings.Proposition 58，passed by California voters on November 8，largely reversed that decision，paving theway for a huge expansion of bilingual education in the state that has the largest population of English-language learners.

E) Some of the insistence on English-first was founded on research produced decades ago，in which bilingual students underperformed monolingual(单语的)English speakers and had lower IQ scores.Today's scholars，like Ellen Bialystok at York University in Toronto，say that research was “deeplyflawed.”“Earlier research looked at socially disadvantaged groups,”agrees Antonella Sorace at theUniversity of Edinburgh in Scotland.“This has been completely contradicted by recent rescarch”thatcompares groups more similar to each other.

F) So what does recent research say about the potential benefits of bilingual education？ It turns out that, in many ways，the real trick to speaking two languages consists in managing not to speak one of thoselanguages at a given moment—which is fundamentally a feat of paying attention. Saying “Goodbye”tomom and then“Guten tag”to your teacher，or managing to ask for a crayola roja instead of a redcrayon(蜡笔)，requires skills called “inhibition”and“task switching.”These skills are subsets of anability called executive function.

G) People who speak two languages often outperform. monolinguals on general measures of executive function.“Bilinguals can pay focused attention without being distracted and also improve in the abilityto switch from one task to another,”says Sorace.

H) Do these same advantages benefit a child who begins learning a second language in kindergarten instead of as a baby？ We don't yet know.Patterns of language learning and language use are complex. ButGigi Luk at Harvard cites at least one brain-imaging study on adolescents that shows similar changes inbrain structure when compared with those who are bilingual from birth，even when they didn't beginpracticing a second language in earnest before late childhood.

l) Young children being raised bilingual have to follow social cues to figure out which language to use with which person and in what setting.As a result，says Sorace，bilingual children as young as age 3 havedemonstrated a head start on tests of perspective-taking and theory of mind—both of which arefundamental social and emotional skills.

J) About 10 percent of students in the Portland，Oregon public schools are assigned by lottery to dual-language classrooms that offer instruction in Spanish，Japanese or Mandarin，alongside English.Jennifer Steele at American University conducted a four-year，randomized trial and found that thesedual-language students outperformed their peers in English-reading skills by a full school-year's worthof learning by the end of middle school. Because the effects are found in reading，not in math orscience where there were few differences，Steele suggests that learning two languages makes studentsmore aware of how language works in general.

K) The research of Gigi Luk at Harvard offers a slightly different explanation. She has recently done a small study looking at a group of 100 fourth-graders in Massachusetts who had similar reading scores ona standard test，but very different language experiences.Some were foreign-language dominant andothers were English natives.Here's what's interesting.The students who were dominant in a foreignlanguage weren't yet comfortably bilingual;they were just starting to learn English.Therefore，bydefinition，they had a much weaker English vocabulary than the native speakers. Yet they were just asgood at interpreting a text.“This is very surprising,”Luk says.“ You would expect the readingcomprehension performance to mirror the vocabulary—it's a cornerstonc of comprehension.”

L) How did the foreign-language dominant speakers manage this feat？ Well，Luk found，they also scored higher on tests of executive functioning.So，even though they didn't have huge mental dictionaries todraw on，they may have been great puzzle-solvers，taking into account higher-level concepts such aswhether a single sentence made sense within an overall story line. They got to the same results as themonolinguals，by a different path.

M)American public school classrooms as a whole are becoming more segregated by race and class.Dual-language programs can be an exception.Because they are composed of native English speakersdeliberately placed together with recent immigrants，they tend to be more ethnically and economicallybalanced. And therc is some evidence that this helps kids of all backgrounds gain comfort withdiversity and different cultures.

N) Several of the researchers also pointed out that，in bilingual education，non-English-dominant students and their families tend to feel that their home language is heard and valued，compared with aclassroom where the home language is left at the door in favor of English. This can improve students'sense of belonging and increase parents’ involvement in their children's education，including behaviorslike reading to children.“Many parents fear their language is an obstacle，a problem，and if theyabandon it their child will integrate better,”says Antonella Sorace of the University of Edinburgh.“We tell them they're not doing their child a favor by giving up their language.”

O)One theme that was striking in speaking to all these researchers was just how strongly they advocated for dual-language classrooms.Thomas and Collier have advised many school systems on how to expandtheir dual-language programs，and Sorace runs“Bilingualism Matters,”an international network ofresearchers who promote bilingual education projects. This type of advocacy among scientists isunusual;even more so because the "bilingual advantage hypothesis”is being challenged once again.

P) Areview of studies published last year found that cognitive advantages failed to appear in 83 percent of published studics，though in a separate analysis，the sum of effects was still significantly positive.Onepotential explanation offered by the researchers is that advantages that are measurable in the veryyoung and very old tend to fade when testing young adults at the peak of their cognitive powers.And,they countered that no negative effects of bilingual education have been found. So，even if theadvantagcs are small，they are still worth it. Not to mention one obvious，outstanding fact:"Bilingualchildren can speak two languages!”

36. A study found that there are similar changes in brain structure between those who are bilingual from birth and those who start learning a second language later.

37. Unlike traditional monolingual programs，bilingual classrooms aim at developing students’ ability touse two languages by middle school.

38.A study showed that dual-language students did significantly better than their peers in reading Englishtcxts.

39.About twenty years ago，bilingual practice was strongly discouraged，especially in California.

40. Ethnically and economically balanced bilingual classrooms are found to be helpful for kids to get usedto social and cultural diversity.

41.Researchers now claim that earlier research on bilingual education was seriously flawed.

42. According to a researcher，dual-language experiences exert a lifelong influence on one's brain.

43. Advocates of bilingual education argued that it produces positive effects though they may be limited.44. Bilingual speakers often do better than monolinguals in completing certain tasks 41.

45. When their native language is used，parents can become more involved in their children's education.

第6题

Some children are backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mot

her is insensitive to the cues and signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to mop up(吸收) language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ (Intelligence Quotient(智商. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and utters vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and under- stand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of thirty to fifty words. At three he knows about 1000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style. rather than grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man's brain, compared with that for the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a teddy-bear with the sound pattern "teddy-bear". And even more incredible(不可思议) is the young brain's ability to pick out an order in language from the hubbub(喧哗) of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in novel ways.But speech has to be triggered(触发), and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the cues and signals in the child's babbling, (咿咿呀呀) clinging, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child's non-verbal cues is essential to the growth and development of language.

1.The reason some children are backward in speaking today is that ____.

A、they do not listen carefully to their mothers

B、their brains have to absorb too much language at once

C、their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speak

D、their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them

2.By "critical times" the author means ____.

A、difficult periods in the child's life

B、moments when the child becomes critical towards its mother

C、important stages in the child's development

D、times when mothers often neglect their children

3.Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage____.

A、The faculty of speech is inborn in man.
