【答案】

【1】for

【2】how

【3】has joined

【4】difficulty

【5】but

【6】to

【7】when

【8】to use

【9】His

【10】an

【解析】

【1】for;根据原文This blog is_ you to share your stories about language misunderstandings.几个月以前,们开的博客是为了让你们分享你们关于语言误解的故事。此处用for引出对象you,从而引出目的。

【2】how;根据原文Many of you provided advice about __ you learned English.你们许多人提供了一些关于学习英语的建议,所以此处填how表示方式,即如何学习英语。how后引导的整体作介词about的宾语。

【3】has joined;根据句末的so far(到现在为止)此为现在完成时的标志,故用has joined。

【4】difficulty;根据原文One web visitor described his __ (difficult) with…一个网站的访客描述了他的困难…,可以看出其前有明显的形容词性物主代词his,故此处为名词difficulty,根据后文该访客讲述了一个困难,因此用单数。

【5】but;根据原句…two English language words that sound similar _ are very different in meaning.这两个英语单词听起来很相似,但意思却大不相同,可以看出此处有一个转折关系,应用转折连词but。

【6】to;考察固定短语,on my first visit to+地点,我第一次去某地,故用to。

【7】when;考查句型,be doing…when..正在做某事,这时..故用when。

【8】to use;考查固定短语be excited to do sth(指做某件特定的事情感到兴奋),故用动词不定式。

【9】His;根据上文The co-worker asked, "Hey, my friend…可知他的同事问到:“嘿,我的朋友….”可以推测此处的新朋友应该也是Moises的朋友,故用his。

【10】an;an后接元音字母开头的单词,其后为English,故用an。

【题目】It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.

In recent years, many writers have begun to speak of the ‘decline of class and ‘classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.

But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging study of pubic opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class; 73 percent agreeed that class was still a vital part of British society.; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an imprtant part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.

One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounds ‘educated and ‘soft ’. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的) city accents. These accents were seen as ‘common and ‘ugly ’. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.

In recent years, however, young upper midder-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the reality of a working class life.
