Sometimes, _42_ English spoken in the UK is very different in every region (区域)_43_the country. Differences in spelling dont _44_ speakers of British English from understanding the meanings of the words. _45_, they dont prevent speakers of American English from understanding the meanings either. _46_ in spelling are not a big problem for even speakers of English as a_47_ language.However, when different words in British English and American English are used to _48_ the same thing _49_ the same word has different meanings in British English and American English, sometimes people will not be understood if they dont know common differences between British English and American English in meanings and usages.Sometimes even Americans and British people do not _50_ each other because of different word meanings. _51_, the British word “brolly” is an “umbrella” in America. And the British _52_ potato chips “crisps”. All of these differences led British writer George Bernard Shaw to _53_ that Britain and America are two countries_54_by the same language! Thats the reason why confusion or misunderstanding will be caused in some situations. Of course, such confusion will _55_ happen to speakers of English as a second language. 41. A. ThereforeB. SoC.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context(上下文). Then they read again and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.56. The writer thinks that . A. choose a good dictionary, and youll be successful in learning English B. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly D. using dictionaries very often cant help to improve writing57. When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary in the reading? A. After the first reading B. At the end of the reading C. During the first reading D. At the beginning of the reading58. This passage mainly tells us . A. that students shouldnt use small two-language dictionaries B. that the small two-language dictionaries are very useful C. why students should use large college edition dictionaries D. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it59. Which is not mentioned in this passage? A. How to make good use of a dictionary. B. How to improve spoken English. C. When to use a dictionary. D. How to practise reading fast.BWhen you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes Think about the kind of clothes you really need Then look for those clothes you really need Then look for those clothes on saleThere are labels(标签) inside all new clothes The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat If you do as the directions (说明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long timeMany clothes today must be dry cleaned Dry cleaning is expensive When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washedYou can save money if you buy clothes that are well made Well-made clothes last longer They look good even after they have been washed many times Clothes that cost more money are not certainly better made They do not always fit better Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes60If you want to save money, you had better buy clothes that Adont fit you Bdont last long Cneed to be dry cleaned Dcan be washed61The labels inside the clothes tell you Ahow to keep them looking their best Bhow to save money Cwhether they fit you or not Dwhere to get them dry cleaned 62We learn from the passage that cheaper clothes Aare always worse made Bmust be dry cleaned Ccan not be washed Dcan sometimes fit you better63The best title for the passage should be ABuy Less Expensive Clothes BTaking Enough Money When ShoppingCBeing a Clever Clothes Shopper DChoosing the Labels inside New ClothesC Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth - so I decided that my approach must be wrong. I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, Sir?” “20 pounds,” I said, “OK,” he said, “I will give you 20 pounds.” “Its got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.” Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I will buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You have just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know. But I have changed my mind. I am sorry; I will give you 27 pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “You are right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you, shall we say for a five?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.64.
