Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
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 modem 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 modem and fashionable in Britain today is often not the kind of English taught in schools and colleges.
Which one of the following is NOT true?
A. The use of the English language has not changed much in this century.
B. The BBC 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.
听力原文: As a tradition, workers in companies are always required to wear suits and tie, but according to a senior government official, Thailand is to ask workers to stop wearing suits as part of the country's latest measure to conserve energy. This is the idea of the new government, because Thailand is a tropical country and air-conditioners have been used very commonly, which consume a large amount of energy, but if the workers turned up in shirt sleeves, they wouldn't need air-conditioners turned up so high. At its weekly meeting, the cabinet passed a resolution asking all public servants not to wear jackets and urging private employees to do the same. This has already been practised by the government. At a recent meeting, only four of six air-conditioners in the cabinet room had been turned on. One of the government offcials says, "Initially it was not hot in the room, but if a meeting lasts a long time, the temperature might need to be lowered a bit."

B. How to Use Air-conditioner Wisely.
C. A New Way to Save Energy.
D. Air-conditioner in Thailand.
Days after clays my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn' t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.
Of the many values that hold civilization together honesty, kindness, and so on accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law and, ultimately, no society.
My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior. are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.
Fortunately there are still communities smaller towns, usually where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that proclaim: "In" this family certain things are not tolerated they simply are not done!
Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has gone. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you enrage him.
The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it's the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing, by the school that didn' t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn't provide a stable home.
I don't believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.
