Question

【題目】 The people in the USA and England both speak English of course. But there are some important differences between ①________ English and ________ 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.” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

②Sound__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 people drive lorries. Many expressions are also different in the two countries. There're also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question.

But the British often leave out the helping verb. 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.③ 但是他們的法語和法國的法語不一樣。

【解析】

句意：美國和英國的人都說英語。但是英語和英語之間有一些重要的區(qū)別。首先，它們聽起來很不一樣。通常聲音不是英國英語和美國英語的唯一區(qū)別。單詞有時也有不同的含義。有些美國詞在英國從未使用過。美國的一些英國詞匯也是如此。美國人開卡車，而英國人開卡車。兩國的許多表達方式也不同。語法上也有一些不同。例如，美國人在提問時通常使用助動詞“do”。但是英國人經常省略助動詞。語言隨著時間的推移而變化。當人們生活在不同的地方時，語言會以不同的方式變化。英語就是這樣。它也可能發(fā)生在其他語言上，比如法語。加拿大許多人講法語。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據The people in the USA and England both speak English of course.可知在美式英語和英式英語之間有許多不同點。故答案為(1). American (2). British 。

【4】同義句。根據“語言的變化由于時間和不同的地方�！笨芍� Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. 是同義句�？芍�，故答案為Languages change over time. When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways.

【5】理解概括題。根據文中主要闡述了英式英語和美式英語的不同。主題句是There are some important differences between American English and British English.或 The differences between American English and British English.
