It asked teachers that they should prevent pupils from using “street language and text style” ， adding, “Most answers require formal expression of language.”“Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearing in the work of clearly able students， ”the report continued.It added that the use of street and text language “appeared with surprisingly regularity in the work of students who clearly desired a higher grade” “Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style is appropriate students should know the examination context and, in particular, should not use street language and text style， ” it said.There is rising concern about pupils writing skills, especially among boys. National test results for 11yearold boys writing standards had fallen this year. Only 55 percent reached the level expected of an 11yearold by the time they left primary school, the results showed.Many educationalists are now arguing that teachers should also think of ways of improving writing standards.The report said spelling was “in general inconsistent (不一致)” and “variety of vocabulary and of sentence structure is often limited”. It went on， “Punctuation (标点符号) errors continue to be widespread.”However, it added， “Some examiners felt that this year they had met an improvement in the whole structure of students writing.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了街头语言出现在英语考试中这一现象。25What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe streetculture language is being examined in English exams.BStreet language is appearing in the standard English exams.CThe English say no to the streetculture language in daily life.DWhat the streetculture language is in England.解析：选 B 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段可知，本文主要介绍了街头语言出现在英语考试中这一现象，故答案选 B。426The underlined word “appropriate” in Paragraph 5 means “_” Acomfortable BpossibleCacceptable Dvaluable解析：选 C 词义猜测题。画线词前半句意为“大多数答案需要用规范的表达” ，根据but 可知此处表示转折，本句应理解为“非正式的形式也是可以接受的” ，故 appropriate在此处与 acceptable 意义相近，故选 C。27What problems concerned examiners?ASmall mistakes in spelling and punctuation.BLimited vo
