I really liked this kind of class.

W: Well, first of all, most children start school at the age of five and they can't leave school until the age of sixteen. They will go to primary school from the age of five until eleven. And previously, they used to take an eleven plus examination which would then determine whether they would go to a grammar school or alternatively a secondary school. But now we have a new system where children aren't divided off at the age of eleven, instead, they could take the exams at the age of sixteen.
M: Do you think that's an improvement on the system?
W: Well, theoretically, it's supposed to be much better because it stops separating children at the age of eleven and give them a better chance.
M: Do you think that the present school system is an efficient way of educating children?
W: Well, if you accept that, you know, there have to be schools, it seems to work fairly efficiently. Of course one of our great problems in England is that we have very large classes and, it would be very nice if we could reduce to twenty students in a class, and so that each child could get more individual attention.
M: Janet, do you really think that your students gain a lot from their education?
W: I think they do, but in education, I think, emphasis should be put on broadening their horizon of mind, instead of acquiring basic knowledge and skills.

A.The English examination system.
B.The improvement in English education.
C.The English school system.
D.The curriculum of English schools.

Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class or group but of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals or the kitchen pots and pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument and a sign of civilization, and who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.
As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special and immediate importance to us.
One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons(盎格鲁撒克逊人)there has been an almost complete reversal of the different devices for showing the relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon(old English)was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word order and function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. And when some word inflections come into conflict with word order, there may be trouble for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such matters as WHO or WHOM and ME or I.
The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The 18th century, for example, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in and grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak and write.
In the past 100 years of development, the English language ______.
A.has been changing violently all the time
B.has been static all the time
C.has been changing slightly sometimes
D.has been static sometimes
