　　ACDB 　　分析：　　文章说明在上一世纪英语语言的变化，在60年代很明确已没有了阶级区分。现代英语受到的最大的影响来自美国英语。在70年代，俚语，还有术语很少被外界理解了。1.细节题，由第一段JustastheEnglishlanguagehaschangedquicklyinthepreviouscentury可知选A。2.推理题，由第四段的描述可知很多人都不认为BBC的语言不再是最好的语言了。故选C。3.细节题，由marksofclassdistinction(区别)suchasstylesofspeechhavebeengraduallydiminishingespeciallyintheyoungergeneration.可知年轻人说英语没有阶级区分。4.推理题，由JustastheEnglishlanguagehaschangedquicklyinthepreviouscenturysohastheuseofit.可知英语语言有很大的改变。　　考点：　　说明文的阅读。　　点评：　　这是一篇说明文，主要考查细节和推理问题，先通读全文了解大意，然后根据设问再仔细阅读与问题相关的内容，再进行选择。主要考查考生的阅读理解能力。
