18、reat Britain livedpeople belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, whospoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the sameas Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Angl

19、os-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans ledby William defeated the Saxons and be

20、gan their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between u

21、pper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at homeready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans

27、 based on the following passage.Taste is such a subjectivematter that we don't usuallyconduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone's preference is that it's one person's opinion. But because the two big cola companies Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so a

28、ggressively, we've wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for eithe

29、r Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples ofcola one at a time, regular

30、 colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test

31、, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse only 7 of 27 identified all four samplescorrectly.Whi

32、le both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout,

33、 was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.36.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to .A) find out the role taste preference plays in a perso
