第二题听力填表。

录音中有一篇短文，是对英语发展史的介绍。听短文两遍后，请根据表格内容提示，记录相关信息。

English today is different from the English spoken long, long ago. By the 12th century, the language had already changed a lot. People then could not read writings from the year 700. The history of English has three parts-“Old English”, “Middle English” and “Modern English”.

The biggest difference between Old, Middle and Modern English is in vocabulary. Grammar hasn’t changed greatly, but thousands of new words have come into the language. Many of them are from French.

Another important change is pronunciation. It has changed so much that there are almost no words said in the same way as in Old English.
