根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
British English and American English
are almost the same. 25．
The first difference between British
and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British
English and American English are exactly the same. 26． For example, Americans would say "apartment",
but the British would say "flat" to talk about the place where they
live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic (惯用的)
expressions are different. In England people might say "I'll ring you up
tonight", but in the US, people might say "I'll call you up tonight".
The second difference between
British and American English is in pronunciation. The main difference in
pronunciation lies in the vowels. 27． But most of the time, the British and
Americans do understand each other's pronunciation because most of the sounds
of the two dialects are the same.
The third difference is very small. 28． A few types of words are spelled differently
in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like "center".
In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American
English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R.
29． The British may say "Have you got … "
while Americans prefer "Do you have … " An American might say "my
friend just arrived", but a British would say "my friend has just
arrived".

difference in spelling.
B. There are a few
differences in grammar, too.
C. But there are some
differences between them.
D. Only a very small
number of words are used differently.
E. Both languages have
a slightly different structure of telling the time.
