三、阅读理解
（A）
American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say ” instead of “What did you say ” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary(词汇)for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”.
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, when Americans ask a question., they say “Do you have a storybook ” But the British often say “Have you a storybook ”
All these differences can be confusing(易混淆的)if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
( )1.What does the word “separately” mean in the passage It means “____”
A．含糊地 B．快速地 C．分开地 D．简略地
( )2.The vocabulary for cars and driving is _____.
A. an example of British English B. an example of American English
C. the same in America and England D. not the same in America and England
( )3.Languages _________.
A . are always changing as time passes B. keep unchanged even if time changes
C. are the same in all places D. are easy to learn
( )4.What does the underlined sentence “The same thing is true of some British words in America.” mean
A．The words of American and British English are the same．
B．The spelling of American and British English are the same．
C．Although they don’t sound the same,the words are the same．
D．Some British English words are not used in American English．
( )5.This passage is mainly about ______.
A. English vocabulary
B. how American sounds are different from British sounds
C. the way the British say words
D. some differences between American and British English
（B）
It seems that everybody tells lies—well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling “white lies” isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a friendship. A survey shows that each person 1ies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. Here are some reasons why people tell “white lies".
◆Lying to hide something: People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, Paul doesn’t tell his parents that he’s going to play basketball because he doesn’t think they will agree. He tells a lie that he is going to the 1ibrary to study.
◆Lying to make someone feel good: Often we don’t tell the truth to make someone feel good．For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!"
◆Giving false(错误的)excuses: Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring, So you say you’re busy.
◆Lying to hide bad news: Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you don’t feel like talking about it.
So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything was fine.
1.Why do people tell “white lies” most of the time ___________________________________ .
2.How often does each person lie according to a survey ________________________________
3.Does Paul want to go to play basketball or study in the library ________________________ .
4.What will you say to make people feel good although the dish tastes terrible
____________________________________________________________________ .
5.How many reasons about telling lies does the passage offer us in the passage ______________

We’re Not Friends Any More
My friend Abs went to a new school two years ago. We live near each other and play in the local football team, so we are still friends. Then he started playing rugby and cricket and lost interests in football. We still like each other, but we don’t see so much of each other. All my new friends like football -unlike Abs, he seems to, be doing rugby and homework all the time. We are good, but can we be friends like before
--Tom
Simon says
Sometimes it is sad when best friends go different ways. So when something changes in your life like this and everything goes well, you should be happy: you managed to deal with it! There is no need to think about your worries and neglect your happiness.
Anita says
Everyone goes through changes as they get older, and you should be happy that the choices you have made are right for you. It's good to hear that you and Abs are still able to spend some time together and accept each other as you are, even though you now have new friends with the same interests.
Mac says
Friendships change as we get older. It is wrong to think we’ll keep the same sets of friends throughout our lives. Don't stop seeing Abs, but don't try to force a friendship that seems to be
