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. [br] 【C2】
选项
A、emerged
B、emitted
C、submerged
D、submitted
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。根据上下文可知,[A]emerged意为“出现”,用于此处恰好能表达“MLE首次出现”的意思,因此[A]为正确答案。[B]emitted有“散发;发射”的含义;[C]submerged表示“潜入水中”;[D]submitted指的是“提交;服从”,均不符合句意,故排除。
