问题 In contrast to the earlier linguists, modern linguists tend to ______.
Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?

选项 A、It is generally believed that the year 1500 can be set as the beginning of the modern English language.
B、Some other languages had great influence on the English language at some stages of its development.
C、The English language has been and still in a state of relatively constant change.
D、Many classes or groups have contributed to the development of the English language.

答案A

解析 根据文章的内容,选项A“普遍认为1500年是现代英语的起点”在文章中没有提及,故为正确答案。文章第二句说“The history of our language has always been a history of constant change—at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages.(我们语言的历史是一个不断变化的历史——在一些时间里缓慢得几乎难以察觉,在另一些时间里则是两种语言的激烈碰撞。),由此可以推断一些其他的语言对英语的发展有重大影响。选项B符合文章的意思。
