Linguistic researchers have gradually come to understand how and why so many teenagers sound like Dizzee Rascal, a rapper from Bow in east London. They call this【C1】______. changing argot(俚语)Multicultural London English(MLE).
When MLE first【C2】______, linguists believed it was a ham version of the way West Indians speak English. In the early 1980s " West Indians who had spoken Cockney suddenly started to speak 【C3】______," explains Paul Kerswill of York University. Young Afro-Caribbean men【C4】______ have adopted a new style of speech as they sought to forge a(n)【C5】______in an often hostile society. Others were thought to have【C6】______ them.
But【C7】______being cod-Jamaican, MLE is now thought to be a hybrid(混合的)【C8】______ that emerged from the mixing of West Indians, South Asians and speakers of Cockney and Estuary English.
Researchers have found that MLE【C9】______ from place to place. Variants have emerged in 【C10】______cities with many immigrants, such as Birmingham and Manchester. Children tend to 【C11】______MLE at secondary school. It is more common—and more strongly accented—among boys【C12】______among girls. The grammar that tends to【C13】______ MLE is increasingly uniform: for example the use of " we wasn’t"【C14】______place of "we weren’t".
Linguists are most excited by【C15】______ MLE is doing to the rhythm of speech. English is usually spoken with a stress-timed rhythm, in which syllables are stressed at regular【C16】______. Speakers of MLE speak with a syllable-timed rhythm, in which all syllables are【C17】______ roughly the same time and stress, as in French or Japanese. Syllable-timed speech is a【C18】______ of languages that have come Into contact 【C19】______other languages. Versions of it may have【C20】______in multicultural places such as Hackney for centuries, thinks Mr. Kerswill.
【C4】
选项
A、need
B、may
C、should
D、ought to
答案
B
解析
情态动词辨析题。上文提到在20世纪80年代初,西印度群岛人就开始讲MLE了。该句使用了情态动词的完成时来表示对过去的推测,指他们在充满敌意的社会里伪造身份以避免受到歧视时,可能就已经使用了MLE,所以此处应该选[B]may,may have done sth.表示“过去可能做过某事”。[A]need没有need have done sth.的用法,故排除;[C]should和[D]ought to后面加have done sth.结构时均指“过去本该做某事,实际上却没有做”,均与原文意思不符,故排除。
