BOOK 5 MODULE1
一.完形填空
British and American English are different 1 many ways.The most obvious way is in the 2 .There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used 3 a different meaning.For example, the British 4 up;Americans stand in line.Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be 5 . For example,the chips the British know and love are French fries on the other side of the Atlantic.
There are a few6 in grammar,too. The British say Have you got…? While Americans prefer Do you have…? Prepositions, 7 ,can be different: compare on the team(AmE)8 in the team(BrE).The British use prepositions 9 Americans sometimes 10 them(I’llsee you Monday; Write me soon!).
The other two areas 11 which the two varieties 12 are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler. Many factors have influenced American pronunciation 13 the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago. Now some experts believe that the two 14 are moving closer together.Since the 1980s, 15 satellite TVand the Internet, it has been 16 to listen to British and American English at a flick of a switch.This non-stop communication has also led to lots of American words and structures 17 into British English, so that some people now believe that British English will disappear. However, if you turn 18 CNN, the Americna TV network , you find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different 19 ----American, British, Austrilian,and even Spanish. This international dimension suggests that in the future ,there are going to be many “Englishes”,not just two main varieties.But don’t worry, users of English will all be able to understand each other--- 20 they are.

五.阅读理解
John Snow was a well-known doctor in London --- so famous,indeed,that he attended Queen Victoria to ease the birth of her babies. But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the most deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause, nor its cure was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to use his knowledge to help solve this problem. He knew it would never be controlled until its cause was found.
He got interested in two theories explaining how cholera killed people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air without reason. A cloud of dangerous gas would float around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease attacked the body quickly and soon the affected person was dead.
He believed in the second theory but needed to prove he was correct. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, John Snow was ready to test these two theories. As the disease spread quickly through the poor neighbourhoods, John Snow begin to gather the information. He found that in two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people had died in 10 days. He determined to find out why. He marked on a map where all the dead people had lived. Here it is:The map gave a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the deaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16,37,38and40Broad Street).John Snow also saw that some houses (Such as 20 and 21Broad Street and8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He discovered that these families worked in the pub at 7CambridgeStreet. They were given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the Broad Street pump. It seemed that the water was to blame.
Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river, which had been polluted by the dirty water from London. Immediately John Snow told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle from the water pump so it could not be used.
Soon the disease began to slow down. John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In addition, he found two other deaths in another part of London that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away from Broad street, liked the water so much that she had had it delivered from the pump to her house every day. Both she and her daughter, who often visited her,died of cholera after drinking the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the disease.
To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all water supplies be examined and new methods of dealing with polluted water be found. The water companies were also instructed not to expose people to polluted water anymore. Finally “King Cholera” was defeated.
“T” or ”F”

3. When another outbreak hit London in 1854, John Snow was ready to test these theories.
4. The cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 5000 people had died in 10 days.
5. The map gave a valuable clue about the cause of the disease.
6. Some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths because they had drunk less water.
7. John snow found the water came from a polluted river.
8. Thanks to John Snow, “King Cholera” was defeated.
