Many students of English worry (36)_ about the differences between American and British English. In fact, (37)_, the differences are not (38)_ large. Unlike, for example, Mandarin(普通话的) and Cantonese speakers, speakers of the American and British (39)_ of English can understand (40)_ and communicate with very (41)_ misunderstandings. When we talk about the American and British dialects of English we do not (42)_ pronunciation. Both UK and US have several different regional (43)_ within their own borders. Besides, there is no (44)_ to enforce a standard. If you (45)_ the radio in New York, you will hear presenters speaking (46)_ New York accents. If you were then to tune into a (47)_ radio station you would hear presenters speaking with Californian accents. Likewise, anyone who has ever watched BBC will know that their (48)_ have a wide range of accents, from (49)_ to Indian. Native English speakers are able to understand most regional accents (50)_ a large degree. The main difference between American and British English has something to do (51)_ writing. It is in grammar, spelling and word usage (52)_ the two dialects differ the most. (53)_, when writing English, you should decide which one to use and try to use it as consistently as possible. The greatest difference between American and British English (54)_ the choice of vocabulary. The same word can have (55)_ meanings. When Americans say that someone is mean they are expressing that that person is bad-humored. Whereas, in Britain, a mean person is someone who is not generous. There are many more examples and most dictionaries will explain them.36. A. much too B. too much C. too very D. very too37. A. relative speaking B. speaking relatively C. relatively speaking D. speaking relative38. A. that B. it C. what D. which39. A. languages B. dialects C. speeches D. speaking40.

Riders on the subway will find that the travel time between the two cities has been reduced from 90 minutes to 30 minutes, said sources with the subway company Guangzhou Metro.The line has 14 stations and a ride from end to end costs only six yuan (less than $1).Local authorities have been pushing for the increased integration of cities in the Pearl River Delta and consider the operation of the Guangfo Line a big step in that direction.The subway was purposely opened one week prior to the start of the 2010 Asian Games.

English borrowed words mainly from French, German, Italian and Arabic.Borrowed words from French contain words for food and eating such as restaurant, words for jobs such as dentist and words for relaxation such as ballet. At weddings in the west, they have confetti which people throw over the newly-weds. This is an Italian word, meaning the small pieces of colored paper. Whats more, Italy was famous for music and opera in the 18th century, so English borrowed many words for music and opera from Italian. In the early times, Italians liked to be at war with other countries, words for military jobs, for example, colonel, also became an English word.One reason that so many German words in English is that the Germans were very clever at inventing things. They invented the clock to ensure they were on time. Englishmen also use clock for this purpose in English. Many of the words for fast food or snacks in English also come from German, including the famous hamburger.We all know the fact that the Arabs were good traders and they brought in many Arabic words in English, such as coffee and alcohol. We all use Arabic numbers, and zero is an Arabic English word.English has borrowed many words from other languages and, of course, it will.61. How many languages are talked of in the passage? A. One. B. Three. C. Five. D. Seven.62. Ballet is a French word for _. A. jobs B. food C. music D. entertainment63. Which of the following is wrong? A. There are many differences between French and English. B. English will continue to borrow words from Italian. C. English will never take in Chinese words. D. A good master of English is helpful for French-learning. CThere are varieties of bee in the world. Scientists are interested in honeybees because of the “language” they use to communicate with each other. Karl von Frisch, a professor from Austria, devoted many years of his life to researching the ways honey-bees communicate in their hives(蜂房). Karl von Frisch built special hives, a glass wall and painted some honey-bees with different colors.A marked bee which returned to the hive from the feeding table performed a dance on the surface of the honeycomb(蜂巢). First it made a circle to the right, then to the left. It repeated these circles again and again. The surrounding bees copied its dances and then they left for the feeding place.Karl von Frisch set up two feeding places. One was close to the hive the other was farther away. The bees that had been at the nearby feeding place were doing the circling dance. The bees at the distant feeding place were dancing differently. The dancer ran in a straight line, wagging(摇摆) from side to side. Then it turned in a semicircle(半圆), ran straight again, and turned in another semicircle to the opposite side. It repeated the dance over and over. The dances convey messages about the far-away feeding place. Karl von Frisch and his assistants slowly moved a feeding place close to the hive farther and farther away and they counted how many times the bees repeated the dance in one minute. Finally they found out the number of wagging dances per minute told the exact distance to the feeding place.64. Scientists are interested in honeybees just because _. A. The honey-bees have bright colors. B. The honey-bees enjoy a strange way of communication. C. The honeydew is delicious. D. there are several kinds of bees in the world.65. Professor Karl von Frisch was from _. A. America B. Australia C. Sweden D. Austria66. What information does the dance convey?A. There is no feeding place around.B. The feeding place is farther away.C. The feeding place is too far for the bees to get to.D. The feeding place is near the hive.67. What did Karl von Frisch want to find out while moving a feeding place close to the hive farther and farther away? A. How the bees continued their dances. B. How the bees communicated the distance to the feeding place. C. The differences between the circling dance and the wagging dance, D. How the bees flew to the feeding place. DSince Erica was a young girl, she had always wanted to meet an alien. Then one day, something truly unbelievable happened.Erica woke up early one bright, sunny Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day, so she went outside to enjoy her breakfast in the sunshine. Then she heard a strange sound coming from the garden. She looked up and saw a short, green creature standing in the middle of the garden. It had two big brown eyes and three ears on top of its head. It was an alien.The alien and Erica stared at each other, neither of them moving. Though meeting an alien was a dream come true, she was not quite prepared for it. She had to keep up the courage to talk to the alien. So Erica walked over to it cautiously.Suddenly, the alien opened its mouth and said, “prue.” The alien then picked one of the flowers and handed it to Erica. “Prue.” the alien said again and pointed to the flower. Erica was very excited to finally meet a real, live alien. Even though they were speaking in completely different languages, they could understand each other. Erica spent the whole day accompanying the alien. They walked around Ericas garden and picked up different things that they sawflowers, grass and other plants. Erica showed the alien some of her old toys, saying the English words for all these things and hoping to teach it English. After Erica said each English word, the alien said something in its language. They were teaching each other!When the sun began to set in the evening, the alien looked up at the sky. He pointed to the sky, and said, “Keeta mgul arul.” “I understand,” said Erica. The alien smiled at Erica, and she smiled back and waved at it.
