What is standard English With the rise of Internet development, does anyone speak a pure(纯粹的)form of their own English Many English speakers have found Americanisms(美国化)slowly influencing their language. English may be the international language of communication — but which kind
As a teacher, a favourite question often asked by my students is “ Which is better, American or British English ” My answer is always the same, “It depends!” These days, we can also add Australian English, as learners in Asia where I live are more likely (可能的)to experience Australian English and are more likely to study in Australia than in the United States or the UK, although the difference between Australian and British English is very small and mainly about vocabulary.
So what kind of English should foreign learners learn It depends on what is more suitable. If someone is working for a US - owned company, then the company will probably require American English in its written communication. If you are studying to be a tour guide in an area that has many British tourists, you should pay more attention to that standard. If a learner is going to study in Australia, then studying Australian English will help him.
When I have managed language schools, there was often healthy competition between teachers of different nationalities(国籍)for the importance of their certain standard English.
As for me, I like to keep an open mind, as there can be advantages for both students and teachers. Students experience more kinds of English, providing them with a better education. So teachers should pay attention to the differences in different English, increasing their own knowledge base.
44．What does the writer do according to the article
A．A tour guide. B．A teacher. C．An officer. D．A student.
45．What is the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1
A．To introduce some general information on English.
B．To introduce what will be talked about in the article.
C．To discuss the importance of English.
D．To show American English is standard English.
46．What can we learn about Australian English from Paragraph 2
A．It has been influenced by Asian languages.
B．It is most popular with western students.
C．It is the writer’ s favourite English.
D．It is different from British English mostly in vocabulary.
47．What should a learner think about when choosing a kind of English according to the writer
A．His education. B．His personal needs. C．His own interest. D．His nationality.
48．What is the writer’ s attitude(态度)to learning different kinds of English
A．Supportive. B．Doubtful. C．Surprised. D．Unsure.

When you sit with your family for a meal, have you ever wondered where and when the tradition of using chopsticks began
●A symbol
People say that the first pair of chopsticks was used in China more than 5,000 years ago. The practice became popular in Korea, Vietnam and Japan. Today they are a symbol of Asian culture.
●Cooking traditions
The different cooking traditions in Asia lead to different kinds of chopsticks. For example, the Japanese use sharp chopsticks because they eat a lot of fish. Sharp chopsticks are good for picking the fish from the bones.
●Spiritual(精神的)meanings
Chopsticks mean something special in Chinese. For example, “weak things united become strong”, which is always used by parents to teach their children to get on well with others, is a slang(俚语) that included “chopsticks”.
●Table manners
There are also many table manners about chopsticks. For example, never stick your chopsticks upright(直立的) in your rice bowl or tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. People believe it is not polite to the host(主人).

六、阅读回答问题
There are some apologetic terms (表示歉意的用语) in English. It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what’s the difference between “Pardon ”, “I’m sorry”, “Excuse me” and “What ”.
Pardon
Americans don’t really use “Pardon ”. If you do, they will probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (炫耀的) or joke that you’re British.
I’m sorry.
We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “Sorry”.
Excuse me.
This is generally a term to ask permission (允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “Excuse me” to ask him/her to move out of your way.
What
Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself/herself. If you want to be politer, you could say, I’m sorry, what was that ” or “Excuse me, what did you say ” or any other such thing. Most Americans just say “What ” though.
In our daily life, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving ” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request.
根据短文内容，完成下列各题。
54．Who say “Pardon ” more often, Americans or the British
______________________________________________
55．Which term is used for future events according to the passage

How bad an impression(印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it’s natural for a host(主人) to make a lively atmosphere(氛围). However, in Russia and Western countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. ____60____ I felt bad about this. ____61____
____62____ My Russian friend Andrew always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this.

My family often send our old jeans and T-shirts to this organization.
In my country, laws（法律）have also been passed to help protect the environment. ____66____ If you cut down a tree, you will be punished and will have to plant another tree in its place.

八、阅读还原5选5
“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.” ___69___ It means that the other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel this way. ___70___ Instead, they would like to buy Japanese cartoon books, watch Korean soap operas, and even celebrate western holidays. ___71___ As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the same meaning for Chinese as the Spring Festival does. ___72___ And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture we like best: it’s friendliness.
