Americans began to change the sound of their speech after the Revolutionary War in seventeenseventysix. They wanted to make it different to separate themselves from the British in language, in the same way they separated themselves from the
12345678910下一頁(yè)British government.Some American leaders proposed major changes in the language. Benjamin Franklin wanted a whole new system of spelling. His reforms were not accepted. But his ideas did influence others. One was Noah Webster.Webster wrote language books for schools. He believed the United States should have a system of its own language as well as government. Webster published a dictionary of the American language in eighteentwentyeight. It established rules for speaking and spelling the words used in American English.Webster wrote that all words should be said in the order of the letters that spell them. This is why Americans use the letters “er” to end many words instead of the British “re.” He spelled the word “center，” for example, “center，” instead of the British “centre.”Webster's rule for saying every part of a word made American English easier for foreign settlers to learn. They learned to say “waistcoat，” for example, the way it is spelled instead of the British “weskit.”The different languages of many people who came to the United States also helped make American and British English different. Many of their foreign words and expressions became part of English As Americans speak them.Sometimes Americans and British people do not understand each other because of different word meanings. For example, the word “jumper” in Britain means a sweater. In the United States, it is a dress. The British word “brolly” is an “umbrella” in America. And the British call potato chips “crisps”. All of these differences led British writer George Bernard Shaw to joke that Britain and America are two countries separated by the same language!36．What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?A．Separating themselves from the British in language.B．Written English in America.C．Spoken English in America.D．Spoken English in Britain.答案：C 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句可知，美國(guó)人想把美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的發(fā)音與英國(guó)英語(yǔ)區(qū)
12345678910下一頁(yè)分開來，因此可以判斷it指代spoken English in America。37．Why did American want their language to differ from British English?A．Because they found British English hard to speak.B．Because they found British English hard to spell.C．Because they wanted to have their own language and government.D．Because foreign settlers wanted them to change their language.答案：C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“...in the same way they separated themselves from the British government.”可知，美國(guó)人想如同擺脫英國(guó)的控制那樣，使美國(guó)英語(yǔ)與英國(guó)英語(yǔ)不同。38．Why do Americans use the word “meter” instead of the word “metre”？A．Because Benjamin Franklin didn't like the word “metre”．B．Because the word “meter”was absorbed from other languages.C．Because Webster thought the word should be said in order of the letters that are spelt.D．Because Webster thought American English should be made easier for foreign settlers to learn.答案：C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的第一句“Webster wrote that all words should be said in the order of the letters that spell them.”可以看出，美國(guó)人想讓這個(gè)單詞按照字母的拼寫順序說。39．Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why English began to change in America?A．The government leaders.B．Noah Webster.C．Immigration to America.D．The difficulty Americans had in understanding the British.答案：D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A、B、C三項(xiàng)都促使了美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的改變。BYou may know the English letters A, B and C, but do you know there are people called ABCs? You may like eating bananas, but do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”？ How strange! Are these people from another earth? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means Americaborn Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the US. Sometimes, people call an ABC“a banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside?thinking like a westerner and yellow outside?looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them can not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs ca
12345678910下一頁(yè)n't speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore, but they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even greatgrandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People's Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C．N. Yang(楊振寧). He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.40．“ABC” in the passage stands for ________.A．3 English lettersB．a(chǎn) kind of bananaC．Chinese born in AmericaD．Americans born in China答案：C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段第一、二句可知C項(xiàng)正確。41．Chinese in western countries are called “banana persons” because ________.A．their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB．they think like westerners but look like ChineseC．they were born in China but go to study in AmericaD．they like to eat bananas答案：B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段可知海外華人被稱為“香蕉人”是因?yàn)樗麄兠菜浦袊?guó)人但思維像西方人。42．This passage mainly talks about ________.A．different kinds of bananasB．overseas ChineseC．the Nobel PrizeD．the life story of C．N. Yang答案：B 主旨大意題。本文主要談?wù)摿吮环Q為“香蕉人”的海外華人。CProverbs (諺語(yǔ)) are quite common in spoken English. We do not normally put them in a composition or letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples：Once bitten, twice shy. If a dog bites me, I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to (運(yùn)用) many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop, you will not go to the same shop again.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. If I am a hunter, trying to catch birds, it is better to catch one bird than to see two birds in a bush but not be able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.Too man
12345678910下一頁(yè)y cooks spoil the broth (soup). When too many people do something together, they get in each other's way and cannot do a good job.To pour oil on troubled waters is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If a ship is in trouble at sea, another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However, it may first pour oil on the sea to make the sea less rough.“Don't be a dog in a manger(槽)”means “Don't be selfish.” In a stable (馬房)，the manger is the place where the horse's food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.“He is sitting on the fence” means that somebody will not say whether he is in favour of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides, perhaps waiting to see which side will win.“He who pays the piper calls the tune.” A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan, he can say how it will be carried out.“You cannot get blood out of a stone” means that you cannot get anything from a person who has not got any of the things you want. For example, you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.43．Peter had a bicycle which was much too small for him but he did not want to let his younger brother ride on it. His mother was angry and said to him：“________.”A．You cannot get blood out of a stoneB．Don't be a dog in a mangerC．Once bitten, twice shyD．Don't be a dog in the manger答案：B 自行車對(duì)Peter來說太小了不能騎，而Peter又不讓他的弟弟騎，根據(jù)文章中的解釋與第(4)個(gè)諺語(yǔ)情況類似。44．Mr and Mrs Smith had a quarrel. Their friend, Mr Brown, went to talk to them. When he came back, he told his wife that he had been trying to help the Smiths by ________.A．pouring oil on troubled watersB．getting blood out of a stoneC．being a dog in a mangerD．not to pour oil on waters答案：A

Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home. Mrs Chen disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop. Then she said：“I won't go there again because ________.”A．a(chǎn) bird in the hand is worth two in the bushB．I am sitting on the fenceC．once bitten, twice shyD．too many cooks spoil the broth答案：C 陳太太在那家商店受了騙，當(dāng)然不肯再到那兒去了。正所謂“一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井繩”。DEnglish as a Foreign LanguageWho taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a young child? Your teachers at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grownup. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.It is now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. It is rsaid to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures (文化)？Or should we worry about the dangers of ‘monoculturalism’，a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? On the contrary (相反), I would have thought??although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (when many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan (the same situation with India)．..If we all spe
12345678910下一頁(yè)ak English, will we then all start eating McDonald's burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant (占主導(dǎo)地位的), will it kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it's like a rose，” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses？” Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any gadren. But the way I see it just by planting a few roses, you don't necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that's fine by me.現(xiàn)在，說英語(yǔ)的國(guó)家和人越來越多了，英語(yǔ)正成為一種世界通用語(yǔ)言。這究竟是好還是壞呢？47．By saying “Ask the people of India...and Pakistan” (in Paragraph 4), the author is trying to show that ________.A．speaking the same language doesn't necessarily bring peaceB．wars can destroy the relationship between two countriesC．English doesn't kill other languagesD．English is widely used in the world答案：A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本句承接上文“although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars”而來，作者以印度和巴基斯坦為例說明彼此間的了解并不能減少戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)。48．What does “garden” in the last paragraph stand for?A．Language. B．Family.C．The world. D．The earth.答案：C 詞義理解題。在最后一段作者提出沒有人會(huì)讓他們的花園僅僅種植玫瑰，他想表達(dá)的意思是世界上不能所有的國(guó)家都使用同一種語(yǔ)言，在這里roses指“英語(yǔ)這一單一語(yǔ)言”，因此garden指“世界”。49．The author would probably agree that________.A．it's very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a gardenB．it's good for people from other countries to learn EnglishC．more and more people like to plant roses in their gardensD．English is easier to learn th
