American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does
not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences
between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word
separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of
“I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you
say?” however, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the
words and keep them separate.
Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never
used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For
example, the vocabulary（词汇）for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive
trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are
going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a
call”.
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, when Americans ask aquestion., they say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often say “Have
you a storybook?”
All these differences can be confusing （易混淆的）if you are learning English.
But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in
separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to
English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in
Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
55.What does the word “separate” mean in the passage? It means “____”
A. 含糊的 B. 快速的 C. 分开的 D. 简略的
56.The vocabulary for cars and driving is _____.
A. an example of British English B. an example of American English
C. the same in America and England D. not the same in America and England
57 Language _________.
A. are always changing as time passes B. keep unchanged even if time changes
C. are the same in all places D. are easy to learn
58. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. English vocabulary B. how American sounds are different from British
sounds
C. the way the British say words D. some differences between American and
British English
C
Long long ago, a king had a big rock placed in the middle of a very busy road. Then he
hid nearby to see if anyone would move the rock out of the way to make it convenient for
others. Some of the king’s supporters came past and simply walked around it. Many others
complained(抱怨) about the rock. To the king’s surprise, no one tried to move it out of the
way.
Finally, a poor farmer came along, carrying a load of old vegetables. When he saw the rock,
he put down his load, and tried to move the heavy rock to the side of the road. No one stopped
to help him. At last, after much pushing and straining, and with no help, the farmer got the
rock to the side of the road. As he bent down to pick up his vegetables, he found a small bag
lying in the road. There was a lot of money and a note in the bag. The note was from the king.
It said that the money was for the person who moved the rock out of the way.
Taking responsibility （责任）is about solving hard problems. The farmer takes
responsibility when no one else is prepared to. It does not always mean that you will get a
reward(报酬), but it is a value that builds up a community, and makes life better for all of us.
59 .Why did the king put a big rock in the middle of the road?
A. To see if anyone would move the rock away. B. To see who was the most powerful.
C. To find out who was the most poorest. D. To see how people walked around it.
60. Who moved the rock away?
A. The king. B. The king’s supporters. C. The wealthy. D. A poor farmer.
61. The story mainly tells us that _________.
A. everyone should learn to take responsibility B. nobody likes to solve hard problems
C. taking responsibility always means getting a reward
D. the poor always take more responsibility than the rich
D
DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and
supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programmes show people how to DIY.English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK—“As Englishman’s home is
his castle”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their homes, such as painting
the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share
DIY experience with their friends. More and more people enjoy the joy of DIY.
Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. They like making their house better
without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people
need to get together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it
not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions.
DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a
professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put
themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were
hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it
is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make
products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
62.How do many English people spend their holidays to the passage?
A. Making their homes beautiful. B. Visiting friends. C. Travelling. D. Making
money.
63. Why do English people like DIY?

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? Thisarticle will describe a typical （典型的）high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space
for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at
school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to
hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would
rather loan （租借）than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a
yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their
parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free
driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing rages in the class and
also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math,
English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and
other classes. In some schools studensts are required to take one or more of the
following special classes: heath education, physical education or foreign language
studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each
teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classed, to
give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more
than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include
sports—especially football. Basketball, baseball or clubs, such as yearbook, speech,
school newspaper, photograph or student government.
