A
Do you think the United Kingdom and the United States are alike Winston Churchill once joked that the people of Britain and the people of America are separated only by their language. Do you think that is true The British and the Americans both speak English as the official language. However, each uses some different words. We Americans are similar to the British. After all, our country was once owned by the UK, so we have a lot in common. But there are many differences between us.
The UK has a king or queen, and the leader of the government is the Prime Minister. The US has no kings or queens. Our leader is the President.
Both the British and Americans use pounds and ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. Both use miles, yards, and feet. Our money is different, though. The British use pounds and pence. Americans use dollars and cents.
Driving in a car is very different in the UK. They drive on the left side of the road. We drive on the right. What we call the hood of the car, the British call the “bonnet”. British cars run on “petrol” , which we call gasoline.
In our everyday life, we do many of the same things as the British. But we describe them differently. A young mother here might push a baby in a baby carriage. A British mum pushes a “pram”. The British watch “telly”， while we watch TV. We like to eat French fries, but the British call them “chips”. Millions of Americans drink coffee, but most British prefer tea.
So we are different in many ways. But we stay friendly anyway.
1．What can we know from Winston Churchill's joke
A．The UK and the US are very similar.
B．The people of the UK and the US are the same.
C．The languages of the UK and the US are the same.
D．There are many differences between the UK and the US.
2．The British and Americans both use ________.
A．miles and dollars B．pints and pence
C．gallons and feet D．yards and cents
3．Which of the following is used by the British
A．TV. B．Pram.
C．Hood. D．French fries.
B
It is often said that Western Europeans speak English. From traveling all through Europe, I know that this is not entirely true. Some regions of Europe have a 90% of English speaking rate, while in other parts, English is generally a tongue which is impossible to understand. The divide, it seems, lies with the Romance languages.
In Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the rest of the Western European non Romance language speaking regions, English seems to be understood and spoken just like the people's first tongue. In Iceland, I have never experienced English was spoken so well and so widely by a non native speaking country. And I have almost never met a Dutch person who did not speak English almost as well as my countrymen.
But when you move to the south of Western Europe a little, something happens. English becomes a less useful language for traveling. You just cross over the Romance language barrier (障碍) and into Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy, where English is spoken at a rate that does not seem to be much higher than in China, Latin America, or Southeast Asia.
Traveling through Europe and working in hotels around the world that are popular with Europeans have given me a deeper view of their usage of foreign languages. The northern Europeans can often speak five or six languages, while the Romance speakers hardly know more than their birth tongue. And if you think that Spanish and Italian are so similar that their speakers can understand each other, I tell you that this is completely wrong. Spaniards and Italians don't even understand each other. It is also not a fact that people from both of these countries can communicate in French; only those who put a large amount of effort into learning English or have lived abroad for years can speak English well.
People often say that French people really understand English but refuse to speak it, but from watching hundreds of French travelers over the years struggle with English abroad as well as friends in France trying in vain (徒劳无益) to communicate with me, I know that this is not true. English is simply not widely spoken there outside the large cities.
4．What can we learn from the passage
A．In Iceland, English is not spoken very well.
B．A Dutch person can almost speak English as well as the author himself.
C．Spanish and Italian are so similar that their speakers can understand each other easily.
D．English is as widely spoken as French in France.
5．The author is probably a(n) ________.
A．Frenchman B．Dutchman
C．American D．Chinese
6．What does “this” in the last paragraph mean
A．Western Europeans speak English.
B．French people really understand English but refuse to speak it.
C．Hundreds of French travelers struggle with English abroad.
D．Friends in France try in vain to communicate with me in English.
7．Where is the passage most probably taken from
A．A travel journal.
B．A fashion magazine.
C．A geography textbook.
D．A news report.
C
English is English, right Not exactly. Although Americans share the same language as those in Great Britain, words that commonly mean one thing in America can mean something completely different in Britain. Here are some examples.
In the United States a bird is, well, an animal with feathers. In England, however, a bird is often used to describe a young female, similar to the way young women are referred to “chicks” in America. But be careful when you are calling your boss' daughter a bird, because some Britons consider the word a negative expression.
Saying you need a new trainer in America means something quite different from it does in England. In the US, trainers are healthy and strong experts who can help you work out. However, in England, trainers are just another name for tennis shoes.
In America, the word “jumper” usually means a call to 911, as it can refer to a person who's trying to jump from a bridge or building. The meaning couldn't be more different in Great Britain, where “jumper” is the name given to a knit top, or, as it's called in America：a sweater.
Telling a Londoner that you like to sleep with your comforter every night may cause some strange looks, unless you're a baby. In the US, a comforter is a cover for bed that is filled with a soft material, but in England, a comforter is a word used to describe a baby's pacifier (橡皮奶嘴)．
In America, a casket, also called a coffin (棺材), clearly has a sad meaning. In Great Britain, on the other hand, a casket has a completely different meaning：it refers to a small box used to store jewelry or other valuable objects.
If a Londoner tells an American he locked something in his boot, the American may look at him strangely. In America, a boot is a type of footwear, while in England the word is used to refer to a trunk (后备箱) of a car.
8．If you call a young English female a bird, she would most probably ________.
A．feel unhappy about it
B．find it very interesting
C．consider you are strange
D．think you come from the US
9．In America, a middle aged woman teaching people to do sports can be probably called a “________”．
A．chick B．trainer
C．jumper D．comforter
10．If a Londoner says he needs to get something in his boot, he ________.
A．has locked his car by accident
B．needs to return to his car for something
C．has dropped something into his footwear
D．needs to open his casket to get some jewelry
11．What's the main idea of the passage
A．English is widely spoken in the world.
B．British English has experienced many changes.
C．American English is easier than British English.
D．British English and American English have some differences.
D
We've all been there：in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What's the problem？It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk，” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter；the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well being also.”
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners, ”he says.
12．What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci
A．Showing good manners.
B．Relating to other people.
C．Focusing on a topic.
D．Making business deals.
13．What does the coffee shop study suggest about small talk
A．It improves family relationships.
B．It raises people's confidence.
C．It matters as much as a formal talk.
D．It makes people feel good.
14．What is the best title for the text
A．Conversation Counts
B．Ways of Making Small Talk
C．Benefits of Small Talk
D．Uncomfortable Silence
15．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A．Addiction to smartphones.
B．Inappropriate behaviours in public places.
C．Absence of communication between strangers.
D．Impatience with slow service.

Without thinking, my brother said，“No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic_books (漫画书), which he was selling.

Dear Mary，
I am glad to know that you are coming to China for further study. As you are eager to learn Chinese well within a short time, I would like to offer some suggestions to you.
Firstly, you should have passion to learn Chinese. Besides, watching Chinese movies and listening to Chinese songs can make the learning process much more interesting. As a famous saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” You should keep practicing it as much as possible. Why not find a native speaker as a language partner, and meet him/ her on a regular basis
I do hope you will find these proposals practical. Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua

Dear Mary，
I am glad to know that you are coming to China for further study. As you are eager to learn Chinese well within a short time, I would like to offer some suggestions to you.
Firstly, you should have passion to learn Chinese. Besides, watching Chinese movies and listening to Chinese songs can make the learning process much more interesting. As a famous saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.” You should keep practicing it as much as possible. Why not find a native speaker as a language partner, and meet him/ her on a regular basis
I do hope you will find these proposals practical. Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua
