问题     My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3 :-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
    Can you understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad; neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphone. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it’s great.
    Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted.
    Everyone should just relax, say linguists. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal , from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, " Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents. "
    Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrow’s parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted" ; they simply change to meet the new needs.
    However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says,"I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it’s important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future. "
    Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn’t use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun. "
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
选项 A、Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B、Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C、David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D、James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
答案C
解析 本题为判断正误题，也叫做细节推断题，解题方法依据选项中的人物专有名词来定位找要点，A定位词为CM，在原文倒数第二段出现，其中引号的句子中用了worries与答案中的properly相反，所以排除；B定位词为GN和Standard English，文中出现Standard English是在倒数第二段与CM相关的信息，所以此选项为典型的张冠李戴；D选项为片面的夸大其词，文章层面只能看到language is changing，而没有任何细节提到improving，所以根据文章第四段可以推断出C为正确选项。
