fact, there are some important differences between british english and american english.first of all, they sound very different. often, americans dont say each word separately. they say several words together. americans may say “i dunno” instead of “i dont know”. however, the british are more careful on their speech. they usually say all the words and keep them separate.also, some letters have different sounds. for example, the americans say the “a” in half like the “a” in cat. but the british say the “a” in half like the “o” in soft.sound is not the only difference between british english and american english. words sometimes have different meanings too. some american words are never used in england. the same thing is true of some british words in america. for example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. americans drive trucks, but in england they drive lorries.many expressions are also different in the two countries. in england, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. in america you “give them a call”there are also sometimes differences in grammar. for example, americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. they say “do you have class today？”but the british often leave out the helping verb. they say “have you class today？”all these differences can be confusing if you are learning english. but most languages are like this. languages change over time. when people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. this is what happened to english. it can also happen to other languages, such as french. many people in canada speak french but their french is very different from the french of france.文章大意：本文介绍了美式英语与英式英语的不同点。21compared to the british, americans are usually_b_.amore careful about saying wordsbless careful about saying wordsceasier to understanddslower speakers解析：细节判断题。由文章第二段的第二句“often, americans dont say each word separately.”可以直接得出答案为b项。22some letters in english _b_.aalways

englishbdifferent in the us and englandcan example of modern technologydthe same in the us and england解析：细节判断题。由文章第四段的最后两句可知。bcanadian englishcanadian english is affected by both british and american english. in vocabulary there are a lot of us influences：canadians use billboard, gas, truck and wrench rather than boarding, petrol, lorry, and spanner; but on the other hand, they agree with the british in saying blinds, braces, porridge, and tap rather than shades, suspenders, oatmeal, and faucet.south african englishsince 1994 south africa has had eleven official languages: english, afrikaans (having developed from dutch), zulu, xhosa, and other largely regional african languages. english is the first language of only about 10 percent of the population, but the second language of many others. the english of native afrikaners has influenced the “standard” english of white south africans, examples being such informal usages as the affirmative(肯定的) “no”， as in “how are you？no, im fine.” and the allpurpose response “is it”， as in “she has a baby last week, is it？”indian englishtogether with hindi, english is used across india, but it can also be a speakers first, second, or third language. the grammar of indian english has many distinguishing features, of which perhaps the best known are the use of the present continuous tense, as in “he is having very much of property”， and the use of “isnt it” as an ordinary question tag, “we are meeting tomorrow, isnt it？” the first example shows another characteristic of the language, which is using “in or of” in idiomatic phrases. verbs are also used differently, with speakers often dropping a preposition or object altogether, “i insisted immediate payment”， while double possessives(所有格)“our these prices”(instead of the british english “these prices of ours”)are common.文章大意：本文主要说明了三个国家中所使用的英语的特点。24what does the underlined word “distinguishing” mean in paragraph 3？_a_adifferentbsamecshortdmissing解析：词义猜测题。第三段所举的例子讲述了印度英语一些不同的用法，因此是指“不同的”。25. according to the passage, which group of words is all in american form？_c_ abillboard, gas, blinds, braces.bhoarding, petrol, porridge, tap.ctruck, wrench, shades, suspendres.dlorry, spanner, oatmeal, faucet.解析：细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知美式英语中常用billboard, gas, truck, wrench及shades, suspenders, oatmeal, faucet。26. what can we learn from paragraph 2？_b_adutch is one of the official languages in south africa.bzulu is one of the official languages in south africa.cless than 10% of the south african people speak english as their second language.dmore than 10% of the south african people speak english as their mother tongue.解析：细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知zulu是南非官方语言的一种。其他选项与文意不符。27. how many distinguishing features of indian english grammar are mentioned in the passage？_d_a2.b3.c4.d5.解析：细节理解题。第三段提到了印度英语语法的五种与众不同的用法，分别是现在进行时用法，isnt it普遍用于附加疑问句，习惯搭配中插入in或of等，动词后省去介词及宾语和双重所有格的用法。c(2018全国卷，c)languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. when the world was still populated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. in recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as english，spanish and chinese are increasingly taking over.at present, the world has about 6,800 languages. the distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. the general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. europe has only around 200 languages; the americas about 1,000; africa 2,400; and asia and the pacific perhaps 3,200, of which papua new guinea alone accounts for well over 800. the median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. pick, at random, busuu in cameroon (eight remaining speakers)，chiapaneco in mexico(150), lipan apache in the united states(two or three)or wadjigu in australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.文章大意：最近，语言种类在消失，消失的原因是人类社会的发展。28what can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times? _b_a. they developed very fast. b. they were large in number.c. they had similar patterns. d. they were closely connected.解析：由文章第一段最后一句话when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知，b项正确。a项原文未提及发展速度；由第一段第二句话“developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.”可知，b、d项都不正确。29which of the following best explains “dominant ” underlined in paragraph 2？_c_a. complex. badvanced.c. powerful. d modern.解析：猜测词义题。根据第二段最后一句话可知，上述各种行为造成了一些语言消失，占有优势的语言像英语、西班牙语和汉语逐渐接替了那些消失的语言。所以选c项。30how many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present？_b_a. about 6,800. babout 3,400.c. about 2,400. d about 1,200.解析：根据文章第三段最后一句话可知，使用一门语言人数的中位数是6000，世界约一半的语言是低于6000人在使用；第四段第一句话可知，世界目前约有6800种语言，所以选b项。31what is the min idea of the text? _c_anew languages will be created.bpeoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.chuman development results in fewer languages.dgeography determines language evolution.解析：主旨大意题。本文重点在讲语言的消失，以及消失的原因即人类社会的发展。故选c项。d(2017福建省四地六校上学期第一次月考)i ran into quite a few language problems while vacationing with my family last summer. the most embarrassing was when my mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. they looked at her in amazement (吃惊), not knowing how to react. you see, mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. but in britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers, not trousers as it does back home. katiefrom americai went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. her flat was on the first floor of a highrise building so i got the lift up. then i wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldnt find it. fed up and tired, i finally had to go out to find a phone box. she explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor. davidfrom britainwhen i asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where i could sit and “rest”. it took me years to get through to someone that i only wanted the toilet! tomfrom americalast summer we went on a twoweek family touring holiday, so dad hired a car over the internet. this was an old vehicle (汽车) and there turned out to be lots of things wrong with it. when he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! he had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. in the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem. maryfrom britain文章大意：本文通过几个例子告诉我们美国英语和英国英语在词汇方面的诸多差异。32hearing katies mothers words, katies friends were in surprise because _d_.akaties mother got mud on her jeansbkaties mothers underpants were dirtycthey didnt know englishdthey mistook “pants” in american for underpants解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的意思可知katie的朋友听到katie的妈妈的话之后他们很吃惊，是因为他们错把美国英语中的“裤子”当做内裤了。所以d项符合原文之意。故选d。33david went out to find a phone box to _b_.aphone the police for help b.phone his friend for helpctell his friend he couldnt
