16、earchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germanys University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers re

17、corded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years

18、. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we dont notice from year to year.”“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been hea

19、rd saying thet men in the bleck het. Now it would be that man in the black hat. And hame rather than home. Similarly, she would have spoken of the citay anddutay,rather than citeeanddutee,andhamerather thanhome.In the 1950s she would have been lorst, but by the 1970s lost.”The Queens broadcast is a

20、personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch.

23、C. The Queens Christmas speeches on TV.D. The recent development of the English language.TEXTDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.For exam

24、ple, some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. H

25、es really a big loser!He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some politicians often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her sta

26、te lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents(对手) says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” thats true. However, and honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two

27、 million jobs.”Advertisers(广告商) will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they on

28、ly asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 30.
