第1题

For more than 600 years people have complained that youngsters cannot write proper English

anymore. Two universal truths emerge: languages are always changing, and older people always worry that the young are not taking proper care of the language. The problem is that conservatism works differently on writing than it does on speech. Writing is more permanent, so people choose their words carefully and conservatively. It is slow and considered, so people can avoid new usages widely seen as mistakes. It is taught carefully by adults to children, which naturally has some conservative influence on the written language. And it is often edited, so a young journalist with a casual style. may well be edited to a more traditional one by an older editor. Speech is different: instead of permanent, slow, considered and taught, it is impermanent, fast, and learned naturally by children from their surroundings. Speech will— at almost any level of language conservatism—change faster than written language. In this imperfect world, then, written language only partly reflects speech. Younger writers introduce spoken or new words or usages into their writing, annoying their elders as they do. But no one dare to be casual in spelling: English-speakers are stuck with an ancient system. Liberties with grammar—making the written language look like the spoken one— should be few and cautious. Giving the written language a little room to change, but not too much, is the only way to enjoy the best of both stability and vitality. The alternative— perfectly conservative writing—will make writing less and less like the language future generations will speak, and thus less relevant to writing about the world they live in.

It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that older people worry that______.

A．youngsters have too many complaints

B．spoken language is changing too fast

C．their English is not as good as before

D．youngsters are careless with language use

第11题

There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary gready in the speed a

nd efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages , perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads.Consequendy, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points. A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively litde attention to the general meaning of the text.

The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed______.

A．among readers who have different experience

B．among all the readers

C．between the poorly educated and the highly educated

D．among the highly educated people
