In 2001, British Prime Minister, Tony Blair said, "We celebrate the diversity（多样性）in our country, get strength from the cultures and the races that go to make up Britain today. ”
People from all cultures and races can be found in every corner of Britain and each person in his or her own way has contributed to making Britain the place it is today.
If you walk down a street in Britain, especially in the bigger cities, you will usually see people with different hair, skin and eye colors.They may have white, brown or black skin and blonde, brown, black or red hair, with blue, black, brown or green eyes.Many of the people you will see will be British people but they all look different because the people of Britain are a mixed race.
Britain is and has always been a mixed race society.Early in the British history they were invaded by Romans, Saxons, Vikings and Nonnans armies and later Africans were brought to Britain by force in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as slaves or servants.Over the years, thousands of people have been forced by persecution（迫害）or hunger to leave France> Ireland. Russia, and other countries, and have settled in Britain.
About 8% of the population of Britain today are people from other cultures and races.That is 4.6 million people.According to a BBC report in September 2005, immigration （移民）made up more than half of Britain's population growth from 1991 to 2001.The Guardian newspaper reported in 2007 that the number of immigrants to the UK was 145,000 a yea匚
People moving to Britain have brought their own cultures with them and try to keep them alive.An excellent example of this is the Notting Hill Carnival which celebrates the Caribbean culture and is now a very big part of British life today.
【解题导语】由于历史的原因，大量移民在不同时期涌入英国，造就了一个多民族、多文化的国家。

60.From Tony Blair's words, we learn that he was ________ for the diversity in Britain.
A・ sony B. thankful C. pity D. anxious

B • Because people from different countries have settled in Britain・
C.Because Britain has attracted many tourists from all over the world・
D.Because people from different countries have been invited to live there.
答案B ［细节理解题。

The Queen's English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen's Christmas broadcasts had found.Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.
Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany's University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent（口咅）changes recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records, v he said. He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels （元音）had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago.But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don't notice from year to year.”
“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraphs a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been heard saying 'thet men in the bleck het1.Now it would be "that man in the black hat.Similarly she would have spoken "the citay'and "dutay\ rather than 'citee^nd "dutee\ and ' hame'rather than ' home1.In the 1950s she would have been
Morsf, but by the 1970s 'lost'.”
The Queen's broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries.Each Christmas, the
10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch（传统火鸡午餐）.
The results were published（发表）in the Journal of Phonetics.
【解题导语】这篇文章中隐含着很多英国文化背景知识，如英联邦国家(Commonwealth countries)o 英联邦国家是由英国和已经独立的前英国殖民地或附属国组成的联合体。

英王是英联邦的元首。

英国女王伊丽莎白二世自登基以来，每年都要通过广播向英联邦国家发表圣诞感言致辞。

然而，近来，研究人员从她的圣诞感言中听出了变化：她那世人皆知的“贵族式发音”如今已少了些“贵族”的味道。

这个现象折射出一个社会现实，那就是在过去英国贵族英语和平民英语是有区别的，当然，这种区别的存在有其历史渊源。

但是随着社会的发展，这种差异越来越小，女王“贵族式发音”的平民化就是一个典型例子。

由此表明英语语言发展的平民化倾向明显，贵族英语和平民英语正在进一步融合。

67.The Queen's broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because _______ .
A.she has been Queen for many years
B.she has a less upper-class accent now
C.her speeches are familiar to many people
D.her speeches have been recorded for 50 years
答案D ［推理判断题。

文章的第二段对把握全文含义尤为重要。

此段内容提到Jonathan Harrington 想要研究一个人有记录的语音在半个世纪内的变化，而就他所知，这样的广播记录只有女王的。

因此英国女王是作为研究对象的惟一人选，故选Do ］
68.Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English?
A. “duaty".
B. “citee".
C. “hame".
D. “lorst".
答案B ［细节理解题。

第三、四段提到，女王的口音变化体现在元音音素的发音发生变化, 而且是从贵族式发音向平民式转变。

因此她在70年代使用的发音肯定是相对less noble的，如citee, dutee, home, losto 故选B。

69.We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on _______ .
A. speech sounds
B. Christmas customs
C. TV broadcasting
D. personal messages 答案A ［细节理解题。
