The lack of these conditions explains why, in the early modern era, grass snakes were killed as venomous, and gardeners 5 worms because they 6 gnaw plant roots.
7、 The assumption that people “ought“ to know about such things is based on an urban-rural divide that opened up in the 18th century. For a 7 of centuries, city and country people did 8 separate realms. But the car, the phone, the media and the Internet have contributed to the 9 tendency of what we ca

Opportunities to make money mean competition, and competition is stressful;
13、it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of a huge number of people inevitably involves more conflict, more travelling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of g
14、reat cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity of urban life, but today“s convenience of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become trapped in their homes
15、 by the fear of crime around them. As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory;
16、journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individual; for example, reducing awareness through drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behaviour are harmful to society in ge
17、neral; they cause widespread loneliness and destroy the community“s concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the misfortunes of others, if they are not personally known to oneself, are amongst the major causes of urban crime. Inner regions of cities tend to be aba
18、ndoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond. Present-day architecture and planning have enormous
19、ly worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighbourhoods have been ruthlessly swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by high, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be rehoused in tower
20、blocks which are drab, inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. This destruction of established social structure is the worst possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve the human scale of
21、the environment, and to preserve familiar landmarks.（分数：34.00）(1).According to the author, living in a city causes stress because there are so many people who are _.（分数：6.80）A.anxious to succeedB.in need of helpC.naturally aggressiveD.likely to commit crime(2).The author thinks that crime is increas
22、ing in cities because _.（分数：6.80）A.people do not communicate with their neighbourB.criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC.people feel anonymous thereD.the traps of success are attractive to criminals(3).The majority of people who live in inner cities do so because they _.（分数：6.80）A.d
23、islike having to travel far to workB.have been forced by circumstances to do soC.don“t like the idea of living in the suburbD.have turned against society(4).Architectural changes have affected city life by _.（分数：6.80）A.dispersing long-established communitiesB.giving the individual a say in planningC
24、.forcing people to live on top of each otherD.making people move to the suburbs(5).The author“s general argument is that urban life would be improved by _.（分数：6.80）A.moving people out of tower blocksB.restoring old buildingsC.building community centersD.preserving existing social system七、Part B(总题数：
25、1，分数：5.00)G. F. Aland Many people regard Standard English as correct English. It is certainly the variety which is taught to foreign learners English and, in its written form, it represents the form which is found in most types of writing-school textbooks, government documents, newspapers and litera
26、ture. But Standard English is only one variety among the many varieties of English, though it has acquired a special position among these varieties because it is used as the medium of education in England. Because of the position of Standard English, it is often taken subconsciously as a norm in dis
27、cussions of language acquisition, change and varieties. The effect of broadcasting has been to allow people to hear many different varieties of English from all over the world. Although this has not necessarily undermined the perceived status of Received Pronunciation, it perhaps has made it appear
28、to speakers of the language that a high degree of variety exists and that many people, even quite distinguished ones, can use forms of spoken English which differ from those of Received Pronunciation. D. M. Richard A standard language is a variety of a language that is socially and culturally predom
29、inant and is generally accepted as the most proper form of that language. Written Standard English is, with minor differences, primarily in spelling the same word. However, with reference to the spoken language, the term Standard English must be further qualified. The Standard English of New Zealand
30、 is by no means identical to the Standard English of Ireland. Indeed, even within a given country, what is considered standard may vary from area to area. Diversity among the regional dialects of England, particularly in pronunciation, is greater than in any other part of the world where English is
31、spoken as a native language. English is also the only English-speaking nation with an official or quasi-official standard dialect, which we can call Standard British English (SBE). This dialect is a social and educational, rather than regional dialect. It is superimposed upon regional dialects; in e
32、ffect, many of its users are bidialectal to some extent, able to speak both SBE and a regional dialect. SBE is the English taught in the public (that is, private) schools of England and Wales. David Alpher The rapid development in public broadcasting after about 1920 led in England and abroad to the
33、 establishment of BBC English as an actual spoken standard. This standard, alternatively known as Received Pronunciation, is that of a social and educational elite. Robert Claiborne But when we are communicating with “outsiders“, and especially if we are communicating in writing, we will almost cert
34、ainly do best with spoken Standard English. The reasons are very clear. To begin with, though most English speakers speak some nonstandard dialect, they almost certainly understand the educated speech of their region and, if they“re literate, written Standard English. (The latter, in fact, is accept
35、able currency almost anywhere in the English-speaking world.) The overwhelming majority of English-language publications-newspapers, magazines and books-are written, apart from some dialogue passages, in Standard English. The directions and manuals that come with medicines, many foodstuffs, and the
36、innumerable gadgets that enrich or complicate our lives are in Standard English. And the governmental and corporate bureaucrats that most of us have to correspond with from time to time deal in Standard, if often heavily jargonized English. In brief, Standard English is “better“ than other dialects
37、because with it we can give information to and get information from, many more sources than with any other dialect. Gerald Knowles Standard English was for a long time essentially a written form of the language, but it did influence the use of grammar and vocabulary in speech, and even pronunciation
38、. In all parts of the country the UK, local forms and usages have been subject to displacement:as fashions have changed and new forms have been accepted in the standard language and have gradually spread to local dialects. The vast majority of English speakers today have a standardized variety of En
39、glish. Agreement on matters of pronunciation seems to have developed in the nineteenth century, especially in the public schools of the south of England. This has led to a widespread acceptance in England of one variety of pronunciation as a standard and this is the type that was adopted in the 1920
40、s for broadcasting by the BBC. It is known as Received Pronunciation, or more commonly as RP. An RP speaker is somebody whose speech belongs to England, but cannot be pinned down to any region of England. RP has had a powerful influence on all regional varieties, but relatively few people actually s
41、peak it. Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement. Note:there are two extra statements. Statements A. Although RP has greatly influenced the regional dialects in UK, very few people actually speak it. B. Standard English is more efficient in communicating with other people than o
42、ther dialects. C. A greater population speaks Standard English in UK. D. The standard language varies from country to country. E. An international standard language should be developed. F. BBC is the standard of the British social elite. G. Standard English has a special position because it acts as
