yes，and add to that australian english.and any other variety that is useful for your needsif you plan to study in the united kingdom,or work for a british company, then obviously you will need to spend more time on british english(bre). if you plan to work in the united states，then you will need to pay attention to american english (ame). however, lets make the task a little easier for you.some differences in breame vocabulary are more difficult to deal with than others(see the following chart.) besides the categories(种类)on the chart，there is another category which could be described as unguessable，but the words are less important to learn. such differences as aubergine/eggplant, spring onion/scallion, 1ugpitcher may be interesting, but you should not give them priority as they are less frequently used. the following chart (图表)may help you know more about bre and amecategorybreameeasy：known in the united kingdom but not necessarily in the uschipsbiscuitcall boxrubbishengagedfrench friescookietelephone boothgarbagebusyguessable：you can guess these without too much difficultytieautumncookery bookgentsmotorwaynecktiefallcookbookmens roomexpresswayfreewayunguessable：important to learn bothtrousers pantsangrypavementqueuepants underwear mad sidewalk line56. when a man says “in the fall，my wife bought me a few more pants”, we know that he is probably from a. australia b. britain c. america d. new zealand57. when someone says “hes engageddont bother him，or he11 get angry”，in ame it means “hes . dont bother him，or he11 get ” a. studying；mad b. married; angry c. mad；busy d. busy；mad58. what does the underlined word “priority” in the passage mean?

this astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.mountaineering is a sport and not a game. there are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. there are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. if we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. we should be mistaken in this. there are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.the mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. he has to fight the forces of nature. his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.a mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year. a skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps. they may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.66. what sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?a. soccer and golf. b. skiing and skating. c. cycling and hockey. d. mountaineering.67. the underlined word “passion” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.a. strong emotion b. good way c. better feeling d. enough affection68. mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_.a. it has man-made rules b. it is too dangerous for climbersc. it cant bring people joy or leisure d. it is free for climbers to use their own methods69. we know from the passage that _.a. mountaineering has no appeal for people b. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersc. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyd. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the alps70. what is the best title for the passage?a. sports in winter b. team work in climbingc. mountaineering d. the quality for mountaineering dan earthquake happens when two plates rub (碰撞) together.the earth plates travel in different directions and at different speeds. if one plate is slowly forced underneath the other, pressure builds up until the plates break apart. this process causes the ground to move. it is an earthquake. in other words, earth-quakes are the shaking of the earths surface caused by the earths rocky outer layer as a result of the energy stored within the earth. the strain within the rocks is suddenly released (释放). the damage an earthquake causes depends on where it is and the time it is happening. if an unpopulated region is struck, there will be low loss of life or property. if it hits a large city, there may be many injuries and much destruction. many of the areas at risk are largely populated now. major earthquakes hitting those areas today could produce terrible damage. actually, there are several million small earth-quakes every year. large earthquakes such as the 1964 alaskan quake that measured 9.2 on the richter scale, cause millions of dollars in damage. in the last 500 years, millions of people have been killed by earth-quakes around the world including 240,000 in the 1976 tangshan earthquake in china.a 60-second or less earthquake can cause devastation that continues for years after the first tremor (小震). in 1972, a series of severe earthquakes struck managua, nicaragua. fifteen years later, the city still looked the way it had a week after the earthquake hit, because the country did not have the necessary money to rebuild it.the shaking of the earth is sometimes not the greatest di
