When one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the lire span of the English language,he should be able to notice a number of significant truths.The history of our language has always been a history of constant change,at times a slow,almost imperceptible change.at other times a violent collision between two 1anguages.Our 1anguage has always been a living growing organism,it has never been static.Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many.
At one extreme it has been the property of the common,ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living,much as they have used their animals or the kitchen pots and pans.①
At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization,and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence,order,dignity,and if possible,a little beauty. As we consider our changing language,we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us.One is that since the time of the Anglo—Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal 0f the different devices for showing the relationship of words in a sentence.Anglo—Saxon(old English)was a language of many
inflections
.
Modern English has few inflections.We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words.Function words,you should understand,are words such as prepositions,conjunctions,and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words.A few inflections,however,have survived.And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order,there may be trouble for the users of the language,as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or 1.The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes,our attitudes toward language forms also change.
The eighteenth century,for example,produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew,until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudv and re—evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak andwrite.②
Which of the following can be best used as the title of the passage?
选项
A、The history of the English language
B、Our changing attitude towards the English language
C、Our changing language
D、Some characteristics of modern English
答案
C
解析
主旨题。本文从各个方面谈及英语作为一种语占的发展变化,但并不是讲述英语的历史。所以选项A错误,选项C作为文章的题目最为贴切。选项B只是文章阐述的一个方而,不够全面。文章是在谈到英语的不断变化的时候谈到了现代英语的一些特点,所以选项D也失之于片面。
