He wonders (想知道): 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(发音) is sometimes different. Americans usually sound [r] in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound it 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. ‎ ‎11.According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that_______. A. British people cannot understand him B. the grammar is too hard for ‎ him C. American people cannot understand him D. the spelling is too hard for him 12. American English and British English are different in ________.

Who can benefit from this passage?‎ A.teachers B.parents C.English learners D.scientists B What does traveling mean? Visit, enjoy and discover. ‎ Every year hundreds and thousands of people come to the UK. And London, the capital city, is usually their first stop. What can they see? What can they experience?‎ Getting around in London is not difficult. There is the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London.‎ Going around the city center on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is around you in five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower, Big Ben.‎ There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington and cost nothing to get into. In the Natural History Museum, the key word is Big. Next to it is the Science Museum. It has those great British inventions, the history of flight and exploration of space.‎ ‎15. For many tourists, London is their ______ stop when they are traveling in the UK.‎ A. first B. second C. third D. lost ‎16. Going around the City center on foot is easy because ______.‎ A.

The passage is most likely to be taken from______.‎ A. a police report B.a travel magazine ‎ C.an advertisement D.a government booklet C ‎ There are many useful suggestions that can help one to improve English. Here are some of them to increase one's English language vocabulary. Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. It is based on understanding important words and expressions.‎ ‎ Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions(重复） to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context （上下文）, the more words one is shown, the better vocabulary one will have. Keep a piece of paper close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to understand its meaning from the context. Then  look up the word in a dictionary. Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation(对话） or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. And remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English. Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember：“In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.‎ ‎19. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?________‎ A. To master a word, you need to repeat it 10-20 times.‎ B. If you remember a word, you will still forget it if you don't use it.‎ C. Practice is very important in fluent spoken English.‎ D. It doesn't take long to build one's vocabulary.‎ ‎20. The best way to learn new words is ___________.‎ A. trying to use them while speaking and writing B. writing them down over and over again C. always looking them up in the dictionary D. reading them aloud over and over again.‎ ‎21. What is the passage mainly about？___________.‎ A. How to have a good conversation in English.‎ B. How to enrich your English vocabulary.‎ C. Why context is important in learning English.‎ D. How to improve the quality of communication.‎ D Everyone has got two personalities(个性，性格)-- one shown to the world and the other secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control your behavior, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.‎ If you go to sleep on your back, you are a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don’t like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.‎ If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you’re always easily upset. You’re very stubborn, but you aren’t very ambitious(有野心的). You usually live for today, not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.‎ If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself, so you’re often defensive. You’re shy and you don’t normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You’re easily hurt.‎ If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don’t often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.‎ ‎22. What whould be the best title for te passage?‎ ‎ A. Two personalities B. Prper sleeping position ‎ C.Sleeping positions and personalities D.Ways to tell your real personalities ‎23. According to the text, you naturally show your secret personality when ____‎ ‎ A. you are awake B. you are asleep ‎ C. you can’t control yor behavior ‎ D. you change your sleeping position ‎24. Tom is used to sleeping on his side. Which of the following ca NOT descride him?‎ ‎ A. well-balanced B.careful C.selfish D.anxious sometimes ‎25. If you are shy and often defensive, you are used to sleeping ____‎ ‎ A.on your back B.curled up C.on your stomach D.on your side 第一节 ‎（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ In our modern world, everyone is trying to do things faster, better and more productively.
