Section Ⅰ Warming Up & Reading—Comprehending
阅读理解
A
My name is Lwazi Nzimande.I started my schooling at Thukeyana Primary Farm School in Underberg, KwaZulu?Natal.
I had a favourite teacher in primary school.Her name was Miss Dube.She taught me natural science and human and social sciences in grade six and seven, and had a way of pushing learners to be able to think for themselves.She made sure that each and every learner took part in every lesson.She used pictures, diagrams(图表) and other things to make learning easier and more unforgettable, moving at a pace that was suitable for all students.As a teacher, she showed patience, respect, open?mindedness, and reliability(可靠性).Now you see why she was my favourite teacher in primary school, don’t you?
In my opinion, patience, respect, open?mindedness, and reliability are some of the things that all teachers should have and show.A patient teacher is one who understands that some learners need more explanation than others to understand something in class.He or she should always be willing to help learners.An open?minded teacher will go beyond what is found in the textbook.A teacher who is respected will find it easy to control a class.Respect is earned through what a teacher says to learners or how he or she deals with them in general.
Miss Dube often told us not to bad?mouth or make fun of others. She also did so.She never bad?mouthed other teachers in front of us. Also, Miss Dube never made fun of her learners. She thought making fun of learners in front of others would hurt them and damage their confidence.
Miss Dube was also very honest. From my point of view, that’s also what a good teacher should be like. If she didn’t have an answer to a question, she would let her learners know. This set a good example to the learners.

How do you refer to(指) those people, things, and experiences that are wonderful? Are they cool? Perhaps they’re rad? In the 1980s, you might have called them bad. What do all these interesting words have in common? They’re all slang(俚语) words.
The word “slang” has an interesting beginning. It began as a word in northern England that was used to refer to the land under the control of a country. Over time, it was used to refer to the people who would advertise and sell goods in special places. Eventually, slang became the term used to describe the colorful, informal speech these salesmen used to advertise their goods.
Language develops continuously over time. New words and new meanings for old words come out as people try to express themselves in new, creative ways, both in speaking and writing. Slang allows people to be funny, clever, different, friendly, or even secretive. Over recent years, many slang words have come from three sources: popular music, politics(政治), and the Internet. Popular music, especially rap and hip hop, has led to many slang words as singers come up with increasingly creative ways to express themselves. For better or worse, some words have taken on new meanings.
Perhaps the biggest source of slang words, however, is the Internet. In today’s world, that fact should surprise no one. Whether it’s the changing nature of technology itself or a quickly?changing trend(趋势), the Internet provides ideas for new slang words more than anything else does. It also helps those words to be introduced into our minds and change our language more rapidly than ever before. Thanks to the popularity of the Internet and especially social media, a new slang word can appear and be known worldwide in a matter of weeks, if not days, rather than months or years as in the past.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。英语中有很多俚语,它们生动有趣,富有创造性。现代俚语一般有三个来源:流行音乐、政治及互联网。

A.They offer new ideas to singers.
B.They can show users’ creativity.
C.They are used more in speaking than in writing.
D.They give people new ways to express themselves.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的New words and new meanings for old words come out as people try to express themselves in new, creative ways可知,人们努力用新的、创造性的方式来表达自己时,新词或旧词新意就出现了。所以,俚语也可以让人们用新方式表达自己。
7.How is the influence of the Internet on slang words?
A.It is fast and wide. B.It is harmful.
C.It is long?lasting. D.It is indirect.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者认为互联网能够使俚语迅速传播。相比起过去的几年或几个月的时间,它能够使一个新的俚语在几天内在全世界范围内迅速传播。

Unit 2 English around the world
世界上讲英语的国家很多。两个来自不同国家的人虽然都讲英语,但他们讲的英语却不尽相同,甚至这两人所受的文化熏陶也是截然不同的。
The Many Faces of English
At the start of October, I started working in France.This is the first time I’ve worked at a school large enough to need not one, but two English language assistants(助手).
My hometown is Stirling in Scotland.The other assistant is from New Delhi in India.We come from countries that are 700 miles away from each other and our backgrounds could not be more different, but we speak the same language!
These first two weeks have been very interesting for both of us and our students.For example, I’ve discovered that, while Indian English is based on British English, my Indian roommate uses some American words like chips instead of crisps.When she phones home, she speaks Hinglish—a mixture of Hindi and English, the two official languages in India.
There are more than just differences in language, however! While in the UK most young people leave home when they are around 18 years old, in India they often stay at home until they are married.She’s getting married in India in a few months.After she’s married, she’ll live with her husband and her husband’s parents.
She’d never heard of the celebration Guy Fawkes Night, when British people enjoy fireworks(烟火) to remember Guy Fawkes’ failure to destroy the British Parliament on 5th November 1605.I’ve also introduced her to some British TV series such as Fawlty Towers and Monty Python, which she now loves as much as I do!
In turn, she’s taught me about Indian festivals I’d never heard of, like Raksha Bandhan which celebrates love and duty between brothers and sisters.
Next, she’s planning to show me Bollywood films.I did some Bollywood dance at university, but am ashamed to admit(承认) that I’ve never seen a Bollywood film!

对美国人来说,让单词拼写变得简单的是一位叫诺厄·韦伯斯特的人,他因其所著的《美国英语词典》而为人所知。该词典于1828年首次出版。它引进了许多新的美式英语单词,并且带有它们的发音、用法和新的拼法。英国人批评这本词典,但它很快成了美国的标准参考书。今天,韦伯斯特的词典仍是美国学生的首选词典。
THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH
At the end of①the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English.Nearly all of them lived in England.Later in the next century, people from England made voyages②to conquer③other parts of the world and because of④that,English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today,more people speak English as their first,second or a foreign language than ever before.
◆动词不定式短语to conquer other parts of the world为目的状语。
Native⑤English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:
◆even if在此引导让步状语从句。
British Betty:Would you like to see my flat⑥?
American Amy:Yes.I’d like to come up⑦to your apartment⑧.
So why has English changed over time⑨?Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other.At first? the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today.It was based?more on German than the English we speak at present?.Then gradually? between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled?England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers? enriched? the English language and especially its vocabulary?. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of?a wider vocabulary than ever before.In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too.English began to be spoken in both countries.
◆when 引导时间状语从句,从句中and连接两个并列的谓语动词meet和communicate。
◆过去分词短语spoken...and 1150作后置定语,修饰the English。
◆we speak at present为省略了关系词that/which的定语从句,修饰先行词the English, 关系词在从句中作宾语, 故可省略。
◆because引导原因状语从句,从句中who ruled England为who引导的定语从句, 修饰先行词those。
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling?happened:first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia.For example,India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education.English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa.Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly.In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners.Will Chinese English develop its own identity?Only time will tell.
◆现在分词短语learning English in China作后置定语, 修饰people, 该短语可转换为定语从句who are learning English in China。
通向现代英语之路
16世纪末,大约有500万到700万人说英语。他们几乎都生活在英国。后来在下个世纪,英国人出海远航以征服世界其他地区; 于是,许多其他国家开始说英语。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多了,他们有的是将其作为第一语言,有的是将其作为第二语言或一门外语。
以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同,也可以相互理解。请看这个例子:
英国人贝蒂:你要去看看我的公寓吗?
美国人艾米:好的,我很乐意到你的公寓去。
那么,随着时间的推移,英语为什么会变化呢?事实上,当不同文化互相交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所变化、有所发展。起初,大约在公元450年到公元1150年之间,英国人所说的英语与他们现在所说的英语有很大的不同。当时的英语更多地是以德语为基础,而我们今天所说的英语不是。然后,渐渐地,大约在公元800年到公元1150年之间,英语就不那么像德语了,因为那些统治英国的人起初讲丹麦语,后来又讲法语。这些新的移民丰富了英语这门语言,尤其是英语词汇。所以到17世纪,莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。1620年,一些英国移民到了美洲。后来在18世纪,也有一些英国人被带到了澳大利亚。(于是)这两个国家的人都开始说英语。
最后到19世纪,这种语言定型了。那时,英语在拼写上发生了两大变化:首先塞缪尔·约翰逊编写了词典,后来,诺厄·韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》。后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。
如今英语在南亚也被当作一门外语或第二语言来使用。例如,印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人,因为英国在1765年到1947年间统治着印度。在那期间,英语成了政府使用的语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲的一些国家(如南非),人们也说英语。如今,在中国,学英语的人数在迅速增多。事实上,中国或许是世界上英语学习者最多的国家。中国式英语会形成自己的特征吗?这个问题只能由时间来回答了。

If we can speak English well, we will have more chances to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confidence from my words. When I write English, I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English, because it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries and see many places of great interests. I dream that I can go to London, because it is the birthplace of English. I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the people who speak English. I hope that they can love our country like us. I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe, as I love English, it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!

Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students.In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons.But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “Yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports.But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise.Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity increases teens’risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health?care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition(PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

No one likes lies. But unfortunately, most of us ever lied to people around us. 1.________ Learning to be honest can help to clean up your relationships. Here are some ways to be honest with others.
Stop comparing yourself with others. 2.________As we’re always comparing ourselves with others, we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie. If you stop feeling competitive with others and give yourself the value you deserve, you won’t feel the need to lie to bring yourself up.
Forget what you think other people want to hear from you. Speak from your heart and tell the truth. You don’t have to worry about whether or not it will make you look “bad”.3.________
Avoid situations in which you’ll have to lie to others. Be careful when someone begins a sentence with “Don’t tell so?and?so about this, okay?” 4.________For example, you can say “If it is something that doesn’t concern me, please don’t tell me. I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s secrets but my own.”
5.________You don’t have to lie if you feel good about yourself! Do things that give you pleasure and that make you feel proud of yourself.Start with some little things.Don’t do things that make you embarrassed.
A.Know your weaknesses.
B.Do things that make you proud.
C.That’s why we tell lies so often!
D.It is not a good manner, though.
E.You should be prepared for this situation.
F.People respect honesty even when the truth is uncomfortable.
G.Sometimes we lie to make ourselves seem better than we really are.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文, 主要介绍了对他人诚实的几种方法。
1.D 解析:此空设于段中,是一个过渡句,与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系, 并引出下句中Learning to be honest...的观点。本句中的It指代的是上文中的lied to people around us。

3.F 解析:此空设于段尾,是一个总结句。句意:即使事实不尽人意,但人们还是尊重诚实。
4.E 解析:此空设于段中,与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系。this situation指代的是上文中的when someone begins a sentence...。

(2019·潍坊高一检测)As everyone knows, English is very important today. It has been used everywhere in the world. It has become the most common language on the Internet and for international trade. If we can speak English well, we will have more chances to succeed. Because more and more people have taken notice of it, the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.
But for myself, I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness, but also because of my love for it.When I learn English, I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world. When I read English novels, I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English, I can feel the confidence from my words. When I write English, I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese...
I love English, because it gives me a colorful dream. I hope I can travel around the world one day. With my good English, I can make friends with many people from different countries and see many places of great interests. I dream that I can go to London, because it is the birthplace of English. I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the people who speak English. I hope that they can love our country like us. I know, Rome was not built in a day. I believe that after continuous hard study, one day I can speak English very well.
If you want to be loved, you should learn to love and be lovable. So I believe, as I love English, it will love me too.
I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!

Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students.In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons.But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “Yes”.
Today many people don’t do sports.But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.
High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress.Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life.Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school.
The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity(肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger.The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise.Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights.
Inactivity increases teens’risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health?care spending goes toward treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition(PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic(学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education.

No one likes lies. But unfortunately, most of us ever lied to people around us. 1.________ Learning to be honest can help to clean up your relationships. Here are some ways to be honest with others.
Stop comparing yourself with others. 2.________As we’re always comparing ourselves with others, we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie. If you stop feeling competitive with others and give yourself the value you deserve, you won’t feel the need to lie to bring yourself up.
Forget what you think other people want to hear from you. Speak from your heart and tell the truth. You don’t have to worry about whether or not it will make you look “bad”.3.________
Avoid situations in which you’ll have to lie to others. Be careful when someone begins a sentence with “Don’t tell so?and?so about this, okay?” 4.________For example, you can say “If it is something that doesn’t concern me, please don’t tell me. I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s secrets but my own.”
5.________You don’t have to lie if you feel good about yourself! Do things that give you pleasure and that make you feel proud of yourself.Start with some little things.Don’t do things that make you embarrassed.
A.Know your weaknesses.
B.Do things that make you proud.
C.That’s why we tell lies so often!
D.It is not a good manner, though.
E.You should be prepared for this situation.

STANDARD① ENGLISH AND DIALECTS②
What is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain,the US,Canada, Australia,India and New Zealand?Believe it or not③,there is no such thing as④ standard English. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English.This is because in the early days of radio,those who reported the news were expected⑤to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak.
◆过去分词短语spoken on TV and the radio作后置定语, 修饰the English。
◆who在此引导定语从句, 修饰先行词those。
◆people speak为定语从句, 修饰先行词the way。 关系词that/in which在从句中作状语, 已省略。
When people use words and expressions⑥different from the “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern⑦,southern⑧, African⑨ American and Spanish⑩ dialects. Even in some parts of the USA,two people from neighbouring? towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.
◆When引导时间状语从句, 形容词短语different from the “standard language”作后置定语, 修饰前面的words and expressions。
Geography also plays a part in?making dialects.Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern?

标准英语和方言
什么是标准英语?是英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度和新西兰人所说的英语吗?信不信由你, (世界上)没有什么标准英语。许多人认为, 电视上和收音机里(播音员)所说的就是标准英语。这是因为在早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员英语说得很好。然而, 在电视和收音机里,你也会听出人们的说话方式是有差别的。
当人们使用不同于“标准语言”的单词或表达方式时,那种语言就被称为方言。美式英语有许多方言,特别是中西部和南部地区的方言,以及非裔美国人和西班牙人的方言。甚至在美国的一些地区,相邻两个城镇的人所说的方言也稍有不同。美式英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为那里的人来自世界各地。
地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人就说着一种比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时, 他们也就把他们的方言带了过去。因此, 美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部地区的人所说的方言几乎是一样的。美国是一个使用多种不同方言的大国。虽然许多美国人经常搬家, 但是他们仍然能够辨别并且理解彼此的方言。

I never wanted to go to kindergarten(幼儿园), or leave home at all.I spent my first five years within the loving arms of my family, and when the time came for me to begin school at PS 116 in Brooklyn, I was sure that no one would keep me safe.But I was so lucky to meet Mrs.Heyman.Not only did she make me feel safe, she let me know that I was special.
Kindergarten was a fearful experience for me.I was a shy child who hated being separated from my mommy.Mrs.Heyman was a kind and patient teacher who tried to get me to stop crying each morning after I asked for one last kiss.
She would distract(转移……的注意力) me with pens and colorful paper and by playing beautiful music.It seemed the feeling of being an artist distracted me from my separation unhappiness, allowing me to attend class as the tears ran down my face.I also loved to sing and dance, and performed(表演) the Virginia reel—a kind of dance—when the principal(校长), Mr.Barton, visited our class.
Mr.Barton was an old, serious man who liked to walk behind children who behaved badly and shout, “Behave!” I was afraid of being shouted at by him, and practiced the dance with my classmates until Mrs.Heyman told us we were perfect.
Unluckily, I was so nervous before Mr.Barton’s visit that I wet myself.Mrs.Heyman calmly took me to the bathroom and told me to change into new clothes, drying my tears all the while, never showing judgment.
As I performed, Mr.Barton cheered.Pleased, I bravely stepped up to the front of the classroom and threw kisses in Mrs.Heyman’s direction.
I was lucky to have her again for the first grade, and learned to love school and learning.She was right about living my life without long?lasting attention from my mommy.

Have you ever thought of getting away from the present life and doing something completely different? Well, here are some people who have done just that.
Back to the land
In his early forties, Peter Van Der Groot was a successful salesman.He had a large beautiful home.But Peter worked long hours, and he saw little of his home and family.He enjoyed his job, but he was never there to see his children growing up.Then last year, the firm(公司) he worked for closed down, and, unexpectedly, Peter had the chance to do something different.
So Peter and his family sold their house in London and moved to the countryside.They bought a smaller house with some land.Today, Peter is more relaxed.He spends time with his children, and he has seen them change into healthy, happy kids.He’s started working on his land, growing fruit and vegetables.Now he and his family have a common, but comfortable life.
Life in the sun
Husband and wife Rob and Manda Brent used to be teachers, but they have both given up their jobs, and neither of them plans to return to the school where they worked in Birmingham’s city centre.Now they live in Italy, where they’ve bought a farmhouse in Tuscan Hills.“We’re going to offer bed and breakfast,” said Rob.“We’ve never had our own business before, so it’ll be quite a challenge(挑战). And we’ve borrowed a lot of money from the bank to get started.”
“In this first three?month period, we’re settling in and repairing the farmhouse,” said Manda.“Then we’ll open our doors to guests.” Bed and breakfast will not be the only way for them to get money, though.“The farm has got olive(橄榄) trees and the equipment(设备) for producing olive oil.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Peter和Brent夫妇为何要改变以前的生活方式。
1.What caused Peter to change his life?
A.He lost his job.
B.He led a hard life.
C.He had to care for his kids.
D.He wasn’t satisfied with his job.
A 解析:推理判断题。由第二段中的the firm(公司) he worked for closed down...Peter had the chance to do something different可知, 由于公司倒闭,失业的Peter有了改变生活的契机。
2.What change has taken place since Peter moved to the countryside?
A.He lives a busier life.
B.He has set up his own firm.
C.He has built a large beautiful house.
D.He spends more time with his family.
D 解析:细节理解题。对比Peter前后的生活worked long hours...was never there to see his children growing up和Today, Peter is more relaxed.He spends time with his children可知, 搬到乡下生活的Peter 有更多的时间陪伴家人。
3.What experience have Rob and Manda had?
A.Selling farm produce.
B.Running a school in Italy.
C.Serving breakfast for months.
D.Teaching in a Birmingham school.
D 解析:细节理解题。由第四段中的Husband and wife Rob and Manda Brent used to be teachers...worked in Birmingham’s city centre.和never had our own business before可知, Rob和Manda有当老师的经验。
4.What will Rob and Manda’s farmhouse be mainly used as?
A.A farm. B.A hotel.
C.A school. D.A restaurant.
B 解析:推理判断题。由第四段中的offer bed and breakfast和最后一段中的we’ll open our doors to guests可知, Rob和Manda的农舍主要是用作旅馆。

Q: As a non?native English learner, should I learn British English or American English?
A:The truth is that it makes little difference. Why?Because we can read works written in either American English or British English without too much trouble, and understand each other perfectly well as long as we don’t use too much colloquial slang(口语俚语). They are the same language—both are still English.
The main differences are in vocabulary for some everyday things. However, most Americans know what trousers are, and Britons and Australians know that “pants” are trousers in an American book or movie. And there are a few small spelling differences. There are some very small grammar differences, but these are too small—most of them will probably not even be noticed. I’m British, and I often read books written in American English, as well as British English. To tell you the truth, I hardly notice the differences.
If you want to learn English and use it internationally, learn both kinds. It’s not difficult—just a few extra words or spelling differences to learn.It’s good to know how English speakers from all over the world use the language, no matter where they come from. You might need to know that American English is used mainly in North America, but British English is the standard English in the rest of the English?speaking world, including Britain’s old colonies (殖民地)—Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, India, Malaysia,Hong Kong, etc.
Even “British English” is a bit of a misnomer(用词错误), since there is no real standard way of speaking English in the UK. Some people confuse “British English” with the accent called RP(Received Pronunciation), but they aren’t the same thing.British English is only a standard, not an accent.RP is only one accent in the UK. Few speak it.Other dialects are widely spoken in the UK today.
【解题导语】 作者认为英式英语和美式英语的区别不是很大,二者都学会也不是很难。
5.The author most probably finds American colloquial slang________.
A.strange B.helpful
C.difficult D.interesting
C 解析:推理判断题。根据回答部分第一段的understand each other perfectly well as long as we don’t use too much colloquial slang(口语俚语)可推断,作者觉得口语俚语不好懂。
6.What does the example of “trousers” and “pants” show?
A.Some differences are easy to notice.
B.Differences in vocabulary are common.
C.One thing can be called different names.
D.Americans and Britons can understand each other.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据回答部分第二段的However,most Americans know what trousers are,and Britons and Australians know that “pants” are trousers in an American book or movie.可知,作者是想表明美国人和英国人能够理解彼此说的话。
7.What can we learn about Received Pronunciation?
A.It is not an accent.
B.It is British English.
C.It is often used in the US.
D.It isn’t widely used in Britain.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据回答部分第四段的British English is only a standard, not an accent.RP is only one accent in the UK.Few speak it.可知,这种方言用的人少。
8.The author would most probably agree that________.
A.colloquial slang shouldn’ t be used often
B.British people find it hard to understand Americans
C.British English and American English don’t differ too much
D.people should learn British English instead of American English
C 解析:推理判断题。根据回答部分第一段的The truth is that it makes little difference.以及第二段的To tell you the truth, I hardly notice the differences.可知,作者觉得美式英语跟英式英语之间的差别不大。

School girl Lorna O’Brien was in her kitchen when she looked out of the window and was terrified(惊恐的) at what she saw.“Help!” she shouted.“There’s smoke and fire coming out of the kitchen window opposite.”
Her father, John, ran across to the house while her 15?year?old brother Paul called the fire service.Lorna, 16, rushed across and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the front door.They looked upstairs where they saw smoke coming out of the top flat.Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan(平底锅) on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, passed out(失去意识) in the smoke?blackened sitting room.Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove(炉子) before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety.
Suddenly Mane started crying,“My baby, my baby!”“Where’s the baby?”asked Lorna.“In the bedroom,” Mane shouted back.While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby.She found the little girl, 14?month?old Ann, lying with her eyes closed.
Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke.“It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna.“I was just thinking of the baby.Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened.”
When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to the hospital for treatment.It was only when Lorna got back into the safety of her own house that she realised the danger she had faced.“I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me,” she said.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。女孩儿偶然间发现邻居家里着火了,她不顾自身安危, 与父亲一起将邻居母女救出失火房屋。

Language is born of culture and in turn reflects(反映) the history of a culture. This is clear when we compare English in Britain, the United States and Australia.
Of the three dialects, British English has the most confusing(令人困惑的) grammar and spelling rules. This is probably because the development of English has been under the control of the upper class.The modern English language came into being(诞生) in the 18th century. The upper class who spoke French wanted to show their influence and make themselves different from the uneducated working people. In other words, British English reflects the British character with class.
The US dialect is generally recognized as the easiest to understand. Compared with British English, its spelling is more connected with its pronunciation. And its grammatical rules are much easier to follow. What’s more, its words are simpler to pronounce.For foreigners, it’s much easier to learn.That’s why American English is more popular in the world.
The reason why American English is simpler than British English is connected with its special history.British English was mainly influenced by the upper class.But American upper class didn’t exist when American English was born.American English was based on the dialects spoken by working people from different countries. So the formation of American English was based on a rule to help all the working people with different cultural backgrounds communicate more easily.
Australian English is different from British and American English.It is the most vulgar(粗俗的) of the three. Actually it has a tendency to show its invention, disrespect and humor.At times, this can make it almost impossible to understand and quite impolite to some educated speakers.That is partly connected with special identity of the early settlers.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文, 讲述的是一国语言能反映出一个国家的文化历史。
28.Why is British English more confusing than American English?
A.Because it was influenced by the upper class.
B.Because English people are more educated.
C.Because it was totally created by Frenchmen.
D.Because England was more powerful in the past.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的Of the three dialects, British English has the most confusing(令人困惑的) grammar and spelling rules. This is probably because the development of English has been under the control of the upper class.可知, 是因为英式英语的发展受到上流社会的控制。
29.American English is more popular than British English worldwide because ________.
A.it has fewer words
B.the US has a shorter history
C.the US has a larger population
D.it is easier to learn for foreigners
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的Compared with British English, its spelling is more connected with its pronunciation...That’s why American English is more popular in the world.可知, 是因为美式英语更容易学。
30.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Australian English is easy to understand.
B.Australian English is preferred by educated people.
C.Modern English became popular in the 18th century.
D.American English may develop from working people’s language.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段的American English was based on the dialects spoken by working...different cultural backgrounds communicate more easily.可推测, 美式英语来源于劳动人民的语言。
31.Which of the following can best describe Australian English?
A.Polite. B.Rude.
C.Welcome. D.Special.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段的It is the most vulgar(粗俗的) of the three. Actually it has a tendency to show its invention, disrespect and humor.可知答案。

There’s nothing like Christmas in New York City.Among hundreds of traditions, one of the most beloved is the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous Christmas tree.People from around the world visit the Met daily and are impressed(印象深刻的) by the 20?foot tree and its special decorations.
Instead of the usual decorations, beautiful angels(天使) and candles hang from the tree.At the base are lifelike handmade figures of townspeople of Bethlehem doing their daily tasks, as well as animals.The room is warmly lit, and there’s beautiful Christmas songs softly playing, creating a feeling of calm that is really hard to find during Christmas.
Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “wonderful because you don’t often see trees like this.”And she says that her “favorite part of the tree is the beautiful angels.”
The tree has a rich history behind it.The decorations and figures were gifted to the museum by collector Loretta Hines Howard.More than 200 eighteenth?century figures were given to the Museum starting in 1964, and they have been displayed(展览) each holiday season with a Christmas tree.Each year, new angels and figures are added to the collection and display.
If you want to fully experience the beauty of the figures, you’ll need to get close to the tree, most easily done when there aren’t many visitors surrounding(围绕) it, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday if possible.Each year they change how the figures are placed and with so many beautiful pieces in the collection, it’s easy to find something new to examine.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在纽约大都会艺术博物馆展出的著名的圣诞树。

C.Peaceful. D.Satisfied.

A.They grow each year in number.
B.They were made by Loretta Hines Howard.
C.They show people’s life in the 20th century.
D.They are especially popular among young people.
A 解析:推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的Each year, new angels...collection and display.可知, 每年都有新的天使和塑像加入到展览当中, 因此, 塑像的数量逐年增加。
35.Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A.Christmas in New York

C.The Metropolitan Museum of Art

65.us 解析:考查代词。设空处作宾语, 表示“我们”, 故填宾格us。
66.to buy 解析:考查动词不定式作宾补的用法。ask sb. to do sth.意为“请某人做某事”。
67.Gradually 解析:考查副词。设空处作状语修饰后面的整个句子,表示“逐渐地”,故填副词Gradually。
68.be spoken 解析:考查被动语态。language与speak之间是被动关系, 因为设空处前有情态动词may, 故填be spoken。
69.spelling 解析:考查名词。设空处与grammar和pronunciation并列作宾语, 表示“拼写”, 故填名词spelling。
70.that/which 解析:考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词differences, 且在从句中作主语, 故填that/which。
