We are known around the world for having the biggest “personal 36 ”?the distance between us and the person we are 37 to. I have 38 been more aware of this than over the last month, since I arrived in China. Getting used to Chinese colleagues 39 close by me and even placing their hands on my arm is proving quite 40 . My natural British reaction is to 41 back and move away, even though I realize it is a friendly gesture by the Chinese person. I have 42 many people holding hands or putting their arms around each other as they walk along the streets of Beijing. This would rarely be seen in the UK , even between very close friends. And 43 at someone in Britain is considered very 44 . But here, I find myself being stared at often. It 45 me long to realize this was not rude in China, but a 46 of curiosity. I visited Datong last week, where the local people are 47 used to Westerners. An elderly woman couldnt believe her 48 when she saw me. And 49 feel offended(使不舒服) by her staring at me, I was 50 to see her smile back when I said “Nihao.” When I visited one of Datongs middle schools to talk about English Weekly, the students asked me to 51 their copies of the newspaper. And one girl at the Yungang Grottoes asked to have her picture taken with me. I 52 like a celebrity (名人)！ I have 53 over the last month how true it is that the British are very 54 . We can learn a lot about 55 from Chinas culture and habits. And I am learning more every day.36. A. feeling B. secret C. signal D. space37. A. turning B. talking C. pointing D. listening38.

Some people seem to think its for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words? the longer the lists, the better. Thats wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. Its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they cant speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. Theyre English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It cant make another peoples language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldnt overdo it. They should put communication first. 56. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he _. A. never makes mistakes B. often makes mistakes C. cant avoid making mistakesD. always makes mistakes57. The sentence “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” means that _. A. foreigners speak correct EnglishB. foreigners speak incorrect English C. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules D. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English58. When we speak a foreign language, we should _. A. speak in the Chinese way B. speak according to the rules C. break the rulesD. not be afraid of making mistakesB Am I expected to learn both American English and British English vocabulary? Yes, and add to that Australian English. And any other variety that is useful for your needs. If you intend 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 BrE/AmE vocabulary are more difficult to deal with than others. (See the chart.) In addition to 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, jug /pitcher may be interesting, but you should not give them priority as they are less frequently used.CategoryBrEAmEEasy:Known in the United Kingdom but not necessarily in the US.ChipsBiscuitCall boxRubbishEngagedFrench FriesCookieTelephone boothGarbageBusyGuessable:You can guess these without too much difficulty.TieAutumnCookery bookGentsMotorwayNecktieFallCookbookMens roomExpressway/FreewayUnguessable:Important to learn both.TrousersPantsAngryPavementQueuePantsUnderwearMadSidewalkLine59. 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. BritainC. America D. New Zealand60. When someone says “Hes engaged. Dont bother him, or hell get angry.”, in AmE it means “Hes _. Dont bother him, or hell get _”. A. studying; mad B. married: angry C. mad; busy D. busy; mad61. What does the underlined word “priority” in the passage mean? A. Earlier time. B. Special attention.C. Unimportance. D. Special right. C American and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello！” or “How are you?”. “Hi！” is creeping (不知不觉地进入) into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.” When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day.” or “Have a good trip.” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day.” The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do. AmE: Do you have a car, room, etc.? Yes, I do. BrE: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have. There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e.g. check (US)/ cheque (UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our,” e.g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with “ise” or “ising”, e.g. organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” In American English, one writes “traveler,” while in British English, one writes “traveller”. It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上地), and probably culturally (文化上地) too, they are closer together than ever.62. The Americans hardly say “_” A. Good-bye. Have a good day！ B. Glad to know you！ C. Hi！ D. Have you got a car?63. What does the fifth paragraph talk about? A. There are lots of differences in spelling between AmE and BrE. B. Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings? C. There are few differences in spelling between AmE and BrE. D. The different usages of words in AmE and BrE.64. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The two languages will become separate languages. B. American English will be used more and more. C. The two languages will be closer and closer. D. British English will be used more and more. 65. The underlined word “predicted” means _ in Chinese. A. 解释 B. 预言 C. 考虑 D. 证明V. 对话填空：(每题1分,共10分)W: Can I help you, sir?M: I came to see what kind of insurance there is.W: Welcome！ Insurance is quite good.
