Blaming the permissive 1960s is nothing new, but this is not yet another criticism against the decline in education. Mr. McWhorter's speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of "whom", for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English.
But the cult of the authentic and the personal, "doing our own thing", has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative genre is the only form. that could claim real liveliness. In both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft.
Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like, care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive—there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas, He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper.
Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most English-speakers. Mr. McWhorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no radical education reforms—he is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful. We now take our English "on paper plates instead of china". A shame, perhaps, but probably an inevitable one.
According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English ______.
A.is inevitable in radical education reforms
B.is but all too natural in language development
C.has caused the controversy over the counter-culture
D.brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s

Questions are based on the following passage.
In the 1960s and 1970s, classic social psychological studies were conducted thatprovided evidence that even normal, decent people can engage in acts of extreme crueltywhen instructed to do so by others. However, in an essay published November 20 in theopen access journal PLOS Biology, Professors Alex Haslam and Stephen Reicher revisitthese studies" conclusions and explain how awful acts involve not just obedience, butenthusiasm too——-challenging the long-held belief that human beings are "programmed"for conformity.
This belief can be traced back to two landmark empirical research (实证研究 )programs conducted by Stanley Milgram and Philip Zimbardo in the 1960s and early1970s. Milgram"s "Obedience to Authority" research is widely believed to show thatpeople blindly conform. to the instructions of an authority figure, and Zimbardo"sStanfordPrison Experiment (SPE) is commonly understood to show that people will take onabusive roles uncritically.
However, Professor Haslam, from the University of Queensland, argues that tyrannydoes not result from blind conformity to rules and roles. Rather, it is a creative act offollowership, resulting from identifying with authorities who represent vicious (恶意的 )acts as virtuous (善良的 ) .
"Decent people participate in horrific acts not because they become passive,mindless functionaries (公职人员 ) who do not know what they are doing, but ratherbecause they come to believe——typically under the influence of those in authority——thatwhat they are doing is right," Professor Haslam explained.
Professor Reicher, of the University of St Andrews, added that it is not that theywere blind to the evil acts they were committing, but rather that they knew what they weredoing, and believed it to be right.
These conclusions were partly informed by Professors Haslam and Reicher"s ownprison experiment, conducted in 2002 in collaboration with the BBC. The study generatedthree findings. First, participants did not conform. automatically to their assigned role;second, they only acted in terms of group membership to the extent that they identifiedwith the group; and finally, group identity did not mean that people simply accepted theirassigned position——it also empowered them to resist it.
Although Zimbardo and Milgram"s findings remain highly influential, ProfessorHaslam argues that their conclusions do not hold up well under close empirical scrutiny.
Professor Reicher concludes that tyranny does not flourish because offendersare helpless and ignorant; it flourishes because they are convinced that they are doingsomething worthy.

根据以下材料回答题
Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations.Later he used sharpbones or horns, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic.In the 1960s a new tool wasdeveloped, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and indus-try, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.
The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world.As weall know, light is hot, and any source of light will give warmth.But light is usually spread outover a wide area.The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated.This means that a light withno more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as itis concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.
Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources pro-duce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells.It is now possible for eye surgeonsto operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laserbeam right through the eye-ball.Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of longperiod of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable.
The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the futureis likely to be very exciting.Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makessurgery not only safer but also more effective.
Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical opera-tions up until 1960s? 查看材料
A.Traditional.
B.Complicated.
C.Remarkable.
D.Revolutionary.
