AA student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and "Have you a pen?” , Americans say “in the hospital”and “Do you have a pen?”.Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and“honor” are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.21. According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that __________.A. the grammar is too hard for himB. American people cannot understand himC. British people cannot understand himD. the spelling is too hard for him22. What is NOT mentioned(提及) in the passage?A. How important the differences areB. Whether British English and American English are one language or two.C. Whether there are differences between British English and American English.D. How the differences between British English and American English came about.23.Most __________ say “Do you have a watch?”A. AmericansB. British peopleC. childrenD. teachersBHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents. He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up his own position in society for himself.24. According to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that __.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. only children are interested in lifeC. a child is always loved whatever he doesD. if much is given to a child, he must do something in return25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Life is less interesting for old people.B. People are often satisfied with their life.C. Adults should no longer rely on others.D. Adults may get punished if they go against the laws.26. The underlined word "responsibilities" in the second paragraph means_______.A. dutiesB. jobsC. suggestionsD. desires27. The main idea of the passage is _________ .A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one's lifeC. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his lifeD. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardCMillions of New Yorkers and visitors ride the city’s subways and other trains each day. The public transportation system offers more than just a trip, however. It also has one of the most extensive public art collections in the world, with many of themunder city streets.Some people call it New York’s “underground art museum”. It includes more than 250 works of art. They are meant to brighten everyone’s ride around the city.There is a huge painting of the night sky on the ceiling of Grand Central Terminal. New Yorkers have been looking up at that artwork for 111 years. In the nearby Grand Central Market, you can find a large, crystal light painting, which was completed by sculptor Donald Lipski in 1988. Other artists include new ones and the long-famous ones such as Roy Lichtenstein and Sol Lewitt.Sandra Bloo dworth has directed the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s arts program since it began in 1985.But actually, it really began much earlier, and some of it even dates back to the time when the subway first opened in 1904.For the past 30 years, artists have been asked to make works that relate to city life or to the neighborhood around a train station. There are coastal scenes at stations near the Atlantic Ocean. Native plants and flowers can be found in a garden scene in Brooklyn.Alejandra Acosta, a visitor from Colombia, said, “I think it’s nice to see these kinds of things when you’re walking in spaces like the subway stations that seem a little bit dull. They don’t have a lot of decorations.”Those art works in New York’s “underground art museum” bring life into the dark passages.28.The art works are decorated in subway stations to______.A. display those art worksB. introduce famous artistsC. make the subway trips enjoyableD.attract tourists to visit the subway29.When were art works probably first used to decorate the subway stations?A. In 1985B. In 1904C. In 1988D. In 193430.It can be inferred from Alejandra Acosta’s words that_______.A. it’s boring to take the subwayB. people hate taking the subwayC. the subway stations are well designedD. people welcome the art works in subway stations31.What is the text mainly about?A. New Yorkers’ opinions on museumsB. Sandra Bloodworth’s achievementsC. “Underground art museum” in New YorkD. An effort to make public transport popularDMy teacher,Mr.August J.Bachmann,was the most influential (有影响力的)teacher I ever had.I had gotten into trouble in his class:Another student had pushed me for fun,and I became angry and began to hit him.Mr.Bachmann stopped the fight,but instead of sending me to the office,he sat me down and asked a simple question:"Penna,why are you wasting your life? Why aren't you going to college? "I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships.No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future.That day,instead of rushing off for lunch,he stayed and explained possible education options(选择) to me.At the end of our talk,he sent me to see a secretary who had achild at a state college.This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City,New Jersey.Well,53years have passed,and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me?I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29.I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations.I've won a number of great educational awards.But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher.If I have saved any children,it is because of him.If I have been a successful educator,it is because I had a great role model in Mr.Bachmann.32.The writer ______ before Mr.Bachmann talked to him.A. was an active boyB. was an aimless boyC. liked making troubles in classD. would get punished by his teachers33.Which of the following best describes Mr.Bachmann? ______A.
