Jonathan Harrington,a professor at Germany’s University of Munich,wanted to discover whether accent changes recorded over the past half century would take place within one person.“As far as I know,there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records, he said. He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years.“Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago.But these are very,very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year. “We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes, he told The Daily Telegraph,a British newspaper.“In 1952 she would have been heard saying `thet men in the bleck het’.Now it would be `that man in the black hat’.Similarly,she would have spoken of `the citay’ and’dutay’,rather than `citee’and`dutee’,and`hame’rather than`home’.In the 1950s she would have been `lorst’,but by the 1970s `lost’. The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries.Each Christmas,the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch. The results were published in the Journal of Phonetics. 【查看更多】

     

    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

     Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources(资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.

        Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Van the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?

    Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.

    At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.

    72. We learn from the text that Wilson cares most about ______

    A. the environment for plants                    B. the biodiversity of our earth

    C. the wastes of natural resources             D. the importance of human values

    73. How many species are most important to our present food supply?

    A. Twenty.   B. Eighty.    C. One hundred     D. Ten thousand.

    74. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _______.

    A. learn how to farm scientifically             B. build homes for some dying species

    C. make it clear what to eat                      D. use more species for food

    75. We can infer that the text is _______

    A. a description of natural resources         B. a research report
