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] 【C16】
选项
A、gaps
B、ceases
C、intervals
D、distances
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。空格所在句为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a stress-timed rhythm,即“重音计时的节奏”,由此可知,定语从句是指音节的重读要“每隔一段时间”,故选[C]intervals,意为“(时间上的)间隔”。[A]gaps意为“间隙;缺口”,主要指由自然侵蚀而成的缝隙或人为缺口,或人与人之间的隔阂;[B]ceases的意思是“停止,终止”,含有永远结束的意思;[D]distances是指“(两地之间的)距离”,均不符合文意,故排除。
