   I want to send my best wishes to everyone around the world celebrating Chinese New Year. From the fairs in Beijing, to the fireworks in Hong Kong and the parades here in London, families and communities come together and look to the Chinese New Year.
   As permanent members of the UN Security Council, UK and China are working together on the most pressing global issues. This year also marks an important anniversary. 45 years of diplomatic relations between our countries.
   Our starting point is stronger than ever before. Indeed, I look forward to making another visit to China, following my trip to Hangzhou last year, which was my first visit outside Europe as Prime Minister.
   I want us to take this chance to build on all the ties between Britain and China—in business, diplomacy, education, tourism and culture—as we forge a new role for Britain as the most outward-looking, free-trading nation in the world.

【正确答案】新加坡一直以来都以高度的西方化著称，并将英语作为该国的四种官方语言之一。但是这里的英语有时与我们所熟悉的英语有很大的不同。
   这种与英语相类似的语言被称为新加坡英语。它是一种“拼凑品”，因为新加坡有很多来自多个国家的移民，他们都说着自己版本的英语。
   尽管新加坡英语看起来有趣且多元，但新加坡政府正为这一趋势感到担忧。他们担心这种方言正在逐步降低国家的英语水平，而且或许会影响到和外国人的关系。
   然而新加坡英语蓬勃发展，在那些觉得这既显酷又能借此表明自己新加坡人身份的年轻人当中尤甚。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
   Singapore has a reputation for being highly Westernized, with English among the country's four official languages. But the language sometimes is quite different from the English we are familiar with.
   This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English. It is a "patchwork" because Singapore consists of migrants from a variety of countries, and they all speak their own versions of "English".
   Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singaporean English is worrying Singapore's government. It is concerned that the dialect is lowering the country's English standard and may affect its relationship with foreigners.
   However, Singaporean English has thrived, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being cool and a way to identify themselves as Singaporean.
