READING COMPREHENSION (20 pts)
Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best answers each question or best completes each statement.
Most regional accents in the United Kingdom (UK) are becoming less obvious in this age of 600-channel satellite TV systems, but it seems that Scouse, the Liverpool accent, is actually becoming more distinct. Scouse was first made famous by early Liverpool rock legends the Beatles, and is a mishmash of Welsh intonations, Irish lilts and Lancashire twangs. Adding to that, Scouse is muffled within the sinuses, a feature some linguists say is an effect that coal burning had on the nasal passages during the city’s industrial period.
Accents in the UK are a timeless obsession. They have long separated the miner from the minister and the more sophisticated south from the industrial north. But just as the boundaries between the social classes are fading, regional accents are also no longer as tightly linked to class. Television has picked up on the trend too. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), for example, has stopped using the English of the educated classes called “Received Pronunciation” (RP). The rise of the Labour Party, with its working-class roots, has also helped gradually weaken the accent barrier. Even the former Prime Minister David Cameron, a member of the Conservative Party with a strong RP accent, would dip into “Estuary English”, a combination of accents with Cockney inflections.
Despite all this cross-switching, accent discrimination still exists. A survey of discriminatory attitudes found that many people who would never judge people based on color of skin or gender would not hesitate to comment on accents. Even though Scouse ranks among the most stigmatized of accents, this doesn’t stop the Liverpudlians from taking pride in it.

A. the Beatles and the Liverpool accent B. changes in accents in the UK

4. In the fourth sentence of the second paragraph, what does trend mean?
A. style B. gist C. fashion D. tendency
5. According to the author, what does the current English used by the BBC demonstrate?
A. the power of the Labour Party B. the UK’s obsession with accents
C. weakening class structures in the UK D. the growing influence of “Received Pronunciation”
6. Why does the author mention the case of the UK’s former Prime Minister?
A. to analyse how Estuary English is used B. to mention other British accents
