A
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“Whatddya 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.
Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, the Americans say the“a”in“half”like the “a” in “cat”. But the British say the“a”in“half”like the“o”in“soft”.
Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. 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 for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England they drive lorries(卡车). The back of a car is called a trunk(行李箱)in America but in England it is a boot. The American word for the front of the car is hood, but the British say bonnet(引擎盖).
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say, “See you later”.
There are also differences in grammar sometimes. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have class today?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you class today?”
All these differences can be confusing 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 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. B
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 into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, 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. The British 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 British English with“ise”or“ising”, e.g. organise, realising. In American English,“practice”is used both for the verb and noun. In British English, 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, and probably culturally too, they are closer together than ever.
62. What does Paragraph 5 talk about?
A. There are lots of differences in spelling between AmE and BrE.
B. The reason why 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.
63. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. British English will be used more and more.
B. American English will be used more and more.
C. The two languages will be closer and closer.
D. The two languages will become separate languages.
64. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word “creep”in Paragraph 1?
A. To move quickly. B. To include.
C. To develop quietly and slowly. D. To jump.
C
There are many American expressions about insects—like bees(蜜蜂), for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy, moving around their homes, or hives. So you might say you are as busy as a bee if you spend your whole weekend cleaning your house. In fact, you might say your house is a beehive of activity if your whole family is helping you clean. You also might say you make a beeline for something if you go there right away. When we go to see a movie, my friend always makes a beeline for the place where popcorn is sold. If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important, you might say she has a bee in her bonnet(软帽). If someone asks you a personal question, you might say,“That is none of your beeswax.”This means“none of your business”.
Hornets are bee—like insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you are mad as a hornet. And if you stir up(搅起)a hornet’s nest, you create trouble or problems.
Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. You would not want to have ants in your pants, either. That is, to be restless and unable to sit still.
Here are some expressions about ordinary old bugs, another word for insects. If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do, you might ask him to leave you alone or stop bugging you. A friend might also tell you again and again to do something. If so, you might say he puts a bug in your ear. And if you wish someone good night, you might say,“Sleep tight—don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
65. How many American expressions about bees are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
66. Which of the following expressions is another way to say “It is none of your business”?
A. Don’t let the bed bugs bite. B. You have a bee in your bonnet.
C. It is none of your beeswax. D. You always make a beeline.
67. What may people say to someone who breaks his neighbor’s window?
A. You put a bug in your neighbor’s ear. B. You are as busy as a bee.
C. You have ants in your pants. D. You have stirred up a hornet’s nest.
68. What does a person mean by saying “I have butterflies in my stomach”?
A. I’m confident about it. B. I’m very nervous.
C. My dress is very beautiful. D. I don’t know what to do.

There are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging(包装)is the silent but convincing salesman.
There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of a consumer(消费者), so that he is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take the V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.
Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are invited to both young and old.
This new consumer response(反应)to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.

Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.
This chance discovery ended a 12—day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure(珍宝)—a 120—page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan,“a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green, the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D. C. in the war of 1812. She described President James Madison on horseback as “perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she wrote, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English.
The adventure of the lost book began on September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to send the diary of his ancestor to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes”when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious(宝贵的)book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.
Without thinking, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck, “I’ve felt sick since then,” Luxmoore told reporters.
According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Brennan received a reward(奖励)of $1,000. Philadelphia got another treasure for its history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “It’s wonderful news. I’m on a high.”
