A.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C. in English? A. Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages, but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected. Sentences of the type “The book sells well”, using an active construction for a passive meaning, have begun to appear in Danish (Bogen soelger godt). Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word, and do not translate it into the native form, . drinks. There are many other such cases.（1）Why could the Brazilian child speak 39。 Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their language especially when an English word replaces a traditional word. In 1977, France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent( 意義相同的)French expression existed but the law seemed to be honored more in the breaking than in the observing. Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect, and that the arrival of loan words( 外來詞) can greatly enrich a language (as indeed in the case of English itself, which has a long history of weling foreign words).clock rock 39。o39。one, two, three39。7．閱讀理解 故選A。根據(jù)最后一段中的“If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people39。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。相反，是工作使人們的思維變得狹窄了。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)下文“The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.”從而可以猜測(cè)出beckoned for為召喚；吸引 之意。根據(jù)第二段中的“Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused.

But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, puter programmers and financesector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people39。 When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either—except in one crucial respect. They had bee more conscientious.Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness（認(rèn)真）and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice—once towards the end of each volunteer39。GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mindbroadening experience. That statement is probably made in parison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true?
