Language changes all the time. New words and phrases appear and develop. The words and pronunciations used by young people in the UK can be very different to those used by adults. Living in a multicultural society (多元文化的社会) has an effect on language, especially on young people, whose friends are often from different countries. TV and music also have big influence on the language of the young. Often UK singers sing in American accents (口音) without realizing.
Young British people use lots of language that you usually can't find in most dictionaries. These informal (非正式的) words and expressions are known as ‘slang’ (俚语). It is not possible to make a complete list of modem British slang. By the time the list was finished, it would be out of date! New words come and go like fashions. However, here are a few examples.
Safe, sorted, sound, cool or wicked all mean “That’s good” or “I understand”.
Instead of using different tag questions like... “isn’t it?”, “can’t you?”, or “don’t they?” people use innit.
Instead of saying “very, really” or “completely”, people use well. Whatever means “I don’t care”.
‘He’s fine’ or ‘He’s fit’ both mean ‘He’s good-looking’. Fine and fit can describe a boy or a girl.
Not everybody uses slang and not everybody likes it. A school in Sheffield, in the north of England, recently stopped its pupils using slang words such as hiya (hello), cheers and ta (both mean thank you). The head teacher says that if young people learn to speak ‘correctly’，this will help them get a place at university and a good job.
When British people use language like this, ifs no surprise that some students say they can’t understand native (本土的) speakers. But perhaps learners don’t need to worry about communicating with native speakers so much. Research shows that most of the English spoken in the world today is spoken between non-native speakers of the language. 41. This passage would most likely be found in a book of ______.
A. story B. culture C. travel D. history 42. In the UK, you can't find slang in ______.
A. pop songs B. TV programmes C. most dictionaries D. young people's language 43. The example of a school in Sheffield shows that ______.
A. slang is out of date B. slang is changing quickly C. slang words can be used easily D. some people don’ t like slang
44. Which of the following word will probably make you not understand native speakers?
A. Cheers B. Really C. That’s good D. Good-looking
45. Which slang can be used in the following dialogue?
——But the teacher says we can’t leave before we finish the work. —— ______. I’m going. A. Sound B. Fine C. Cool D. Whatever 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
