This is clear when we compare English in Britain, the United States and Australia. Of the three dialects, British English has the most confusing 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 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 English 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. Whats more, its words are simpler to pronounce. For foreigner, its much easier to learn. Thats 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 didnt 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. 【文章大意】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。1. Why is British English more confusing than American English? A.

Actually it has a tendency to show its invention, disrespect and humor. 可知答案。BEnglish is English, right? Not exactly. Although Americans share the same language as those in Great Britain, words that commonly mean one thing in America can mean something completely different in Britain. Here are some examples. In the United States a bird is, well, an animal with feathers. In England, however, a bird is often used to describe a young female, similar to the way young women are referred to “chicks” in America. But be careful when you are calling your boss daughter a bird, because some Britons consider the word a negative expression. Saying you need a new trainer in America means something quite different from it does in England. In the US, trainers are healthy and strong experts who can help you work out. However, in England, trainers are just another name for tennis shoes. In America, the word “jumper” usually means a call to 911, as it can refer to a person whos trying to jump from a bridge or building. The meaning couldnt be more different in Great Britain, where “jumper” is the name given to a knit top, or, as its called in America: a sweater. Telling a Londoner that you like to sleep with your comforter every night may cause some strange books, unless youre a baby. In the US, a comforter is a cover for bed that is filled with a soft material, but in England, a comforter is a word used to describe a babys pacifier(橡皮奶嘴). In America, a casket, also called a coffin(棺材), clearly has a sad meaning. In Great Britain, on the other hand, a casket has a completely different meaning: it refers to a small box used to store jewelry or other valuable objects. If a Londoner tells an American he locked something in his boot, the American may look at him strangely. In America, a boot is a type of footwear, while in England the word is used to refer to a trunk(后备箱)of a car. 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。英式英语和美式英语有些拼写相同的单词意思不同, 在文中作者给我们列举了一些这样的例子。5.

British English and American English have some differences. 【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知, 本文主要是讲在英式英语和美式英语中有些拼写相同的单词意思不同, 这表明英式英语和美式英语是有一些差别的。. 阅读填句 世纪金榜导学号Choosing to Study OverseasEvery year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester(学期), the summer, or a year.
