第1题:StandardEnglish is the variety ofEnglish which is usually used in print and which is normally taught in schools and to non-native speakers learning the language. It is also the variety which is normally (1) by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other (2) situations. The difference between standard and nonstandard, it should be noted, has (3) in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial (4) ; standardEnglish has colloquial as well as formal variants. (5) , the standard variety ofEnglish is based on the London (6) ofEnglish that developed after the NormanConquest resulted in the removal of theCourt from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one (7) by the educated, and it was developed and promoted (8) a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the (9) that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, (10) English is arranged to the extent that tile grammar and vocabulary ofEnglish are (11) the same everywhere in the world whereEnglish is used; (12) among local standards is really quite minor, (13) the Singapore, SouthAfrica, and Irish varieties are really very (14) different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are (15) .Indeed, StandardEnglish is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous (16) on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long-established dialects ofEngland have (17) much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be (18) . This latter situation is not unique (19) English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are (20) .But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supranational ones.

第3题:Browse through the racks of dresses, skirts, and tops in almost any trendy clothing store in fashion-savvyArgentina, and whether you find something that fits depends on your size.But shops carry few -- if any -- options for curvaceous women. When you go into a store and find an extra large, you know that it is really the equivalent of a medium or even a small based onAmerican standards. You feel frustrated because you start to think that everybody is like this, and that you are big.But that’s not true. In this beauty-conscious nation, which has the world’s second-highest rate of anorexia, many are partially blaming the country’s clothing industry for offering only tiny sizes of the latest fashions. The result is a dangerous paradox of girls and women adapting to the clothes rather than clothes adapting to them. TheArgentine legislature is considering whether to force clothing manufacturers to cover "all the anthropometric measurements of theArgentine woman" up to extra large size. The bill also addresses the related problem of so-called "tricky" labeling in which S, M, and L designations vary by brand and are smaller than international standards. The proposal has raised eyebrows in a historically flirtatious society skeptical of government and well known for its obsession with beauty. "Argentina has the world’s highest rates of aesthetic surgery," says MabelBello, founder of theAssociation for the FightAgainstAnorexi A、"When you are talking about how preoccupied with beauty our society is, that is the most telling statistiC、" For experts such statistics spell futility for legal remedies. "These types of laws are not going to cause lasting changes," says Susana Saulquin, a sociologist of fashion. " A、better way to address the problem is through public education that emphasizes balanced eating habits over an unrealistic ideal of beauty."Currently, companies try to preserve brand image by catering to young and extremely thin customers, but over time, she believes, a more balanced view of beauty will emerge. For their part, industry groups condemn the hill as overreaching state intervening. They say their business decisions are guided by consumer demanD、"We are not in favor of anything that regulates the market," says LauraCodda, a representative of major clothing manufacturers. "Every clothing company has the right to make anything they can sell -- any color, any sizes." She says her group is not opposed to measures that would standardize sizing, but she notes that many, if not most, clothes inArgentine stores already carry the numerical designations called for in the bill. If history is a guide, the fate of the proposed law is somewhat bleak. However, in 2005, the provincial government ofBuenosAires managed to pass a similar law -- although the governor failed to sign it. The best title for this passage may be A、WomenAdapting toCloths or Vice Vers A、 B.Who is theArbiter, Manufactures orCustomers. C.How to StandardizeClothes Sizing. D.Why So Few Large SizeClothes. |
