There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.
"Face the music" is a good example. When someone says they have to face the music, it does not mean they are going to a musical show or a concert. To "face the music" means accepting the bad results of behavior.
Imagine a friend I asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, "Thanks so much for watching my car while I'm away. But please do not drive it. It is a very fast car and you are not on the insurance（保险）. " But you do not listen. You want to show it to some friends and pretend（假装）the car is yours. So, you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and "face the music". The "music" here is the result of your behavior. It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the "music" is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions s that mean the same as "face the music".
"Take your medicine means accepting the results of something bad you have done. And if someone says, " You made your bed. Now lie in it. He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
"Pay the piper" also means the same as "face the music". But that expression has its own very interesting beginning. We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.

（2021安徽安庆高一上学期期中）
While people in both England and the U.S. speak English, the two types of English can be very different.
First, there are differences in spelling. The British like the letter "u" and have kept it in many words. 1 Somewhere in our language history, we decided that "labor", "color" and "favorite" were just fine without the "u" next to the "o". 2 Sometimes, we use totally different words. Here, we live in apartments with elevators. Over there, they live in flats with lifts. We power our cars with gas. They use petrol. And if we need to look in our car's dark trunk for something, we use a flashlight. They would use a torch to search their dark boot.
3 Some British and American idioms have the same meaning, but use different words. For example, in the U.S. if you want to add your opinion to a conversation, you put in your two cents' worth. In the U.K. , they put in their two pennyworth. Finally, a familiar word used by both countries but in different ways is "cheers". We use the word over drinks when we are wishing someone good health or congratulating someone on his success. The British use "cheers" to mean "thank you". 4
Now, we don't expect you to pick sides. 5
A. Then there are idioms.
B. Americans have dropped it.
C. But our differences go beyond spelling.
D. For that, we Americans say, "Thank you! "
E. The usage of the word comes from America.
F. Both American and British English have their strong points.
G. American English will be used more often than British English.

参考答案：
一、阅读理解
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美式英语中许多听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此的表达。
1.D主旨大意题。根据首段There are so many expressions in American English that sound good but actually are not.可知，文章主要介绍了美式英语中许多听起来很好，但其实真实含义并非如此的表达。故本文主要介绍了一些表达。A项“为了邀请朋友去一场音乐表演。”、B项“为了告诉人们如何处理糟糕的情况。”和C项“为了给人们一个关于他们所做之事的教训。”均不符合文意。
2.A推理判断题。根据第五段中“Take your medicine”means accepting the results of something bad you have done.可知，“take your medicine'”的意思是接受你所做的坏事的结果。四个选项所给的例子中A项You broke the traffic rules and were liable to a fine.（你违反了交通规则，须付罚金。）和“take your medicine”的意思相符。B项“你努力学习但考试不及格。”、C项“你感冒了，吃了些药。”和D项“你搬到了新城市，失去了跟老朋友的联系。”都不是接受做的坏事所造成的结果，和“take your medicine”的意思不符。
3.C细节理解题。文中对四个选项的意思分别进行了解释pay the piper和take your medicine都是face the music的同义短语，意思是接受自己的（不好的）行为的（不好的）结果，根据第五段中“You made your bed.Now lie in it.”He means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results，or as we say in American spoken English，you must deal with it！可知，make your bed的意思是制造了一个糟糕的局面，所以make your bed与其他几个短语意思不同，故选C项。
4.B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段主要叙述的是pay the piper这个短语有一个很有意思的开端并根据最后一句We will talk about that in the next Words and Their Stories.可知，下一个节目要讲的是pay the piper的开端。
二、七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英式英语和美式英语的区别。
1.B根据本段首句First，there are differences in spelling.可知，英式英语和美式英语在拼写方面不同。根据空前The British like the letter "u" and have kept it in many words.可知，英国人喜欢字母山，在许多单词中经常保留着它。故B项“美国人已经省略了它。”符合文意。B项中dropped和前文中的kept为反义词。
2.C本空前主要介绍英式英语和美式英语在拼写方面的不同，而空后Sometimes, we use totally different words.介绍的是英式英语和美式英语有时会使用完全不同的词汇。故C项“但我们的区别不仅仅是拼写。”符合前后文文意。
3.A根据空后Some British and American idioms have the same meaning, but use different words.可知，一些英、美习语有相同的意思，但使用不同的词。故本段介绍的是习语方面的区别，故选A项。idioms为关键词。
4.D根据空前句The British use“cheers”to mean“thank you”.可知，英国人用“cheers”来表示“谢谢”，分析选项可知，D项符合语境。D项中“Thank you！”为关键词。
5.F根据空前句Now, we don't expect you to pick sides.可知，现在我们不希望你选择任何一方。故F项“美式和英式英语各有长处。”符合文意。
