People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. And in the past 300 1 ，there were so many 2 in both places that now people can 3 tell an English person from an American in the 4 he or she talks.
Many old words 5in England but were kept in America. 6 ， 300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they 7 either a "faucet"，"spigot"，or a "tap". All these words are 8 heard in different parts of America, but only "tap" is still common in England. Americans often 9 up new words or change old ones. " Corn" is one kind of plant in America and 10 in England.
Also，over the last three centuries the English language has added thousands of new words 11 things that weren't 12 before. And often, American and English people used two 13 names for them. A tine an is called "tin" for short in English,but a "can" in America. The word "radio" is used all over the world, including 14 . But many English people call it a "wireless". And almost anything 15 something to do with cars,railroads, etc. has dif?ferent 16 in British and American English.
But now American and British English may be 17 closer together. One thing is that the 18 people can hear a large amount of American speech daily in 19 , on television, or from travelers. Because of this,Americans seem to be 20 the British more and more. So some day，English may even be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.

本文簡要介紹了英式英語和美式英語的不同。
1. A根據(jù)上文的"in the 16th and 17th centuries"，這里比較恰當(dāng)?shù)臅r間單位應(yīng)該是"年"。
2. C從上下文可知，英國和北美的英語在過去的三百年里發(fā)生了很多"變化"，以至于現(xiàn)在人們很容易區(qū)分開英國人和美國人。
3. B這一空考查副詞用法，根據(jù)對上文理解，兩地的英語都發(fā)生了變化,有一些明顯的差異，現(xiàn)在人們很"容易"通過英美兩國人的講話方式將他們區(qū)別開。
4. D方式狀語"in the way (that) he or she talks"表示"以他或她講話的方式"。"方式" 包括了 "表情"、"手勢"和"用詞"。
5. A此句意思是"很多舊單詞在英國已消失不見了，而在美國卻被保留了下來"，disap?pear正確。根據(jù)下文"but were kept in Ameri?ca"的表述，其他選項不符合語境需要。
6. B "舉例說明"用for example。 such as后不宜跟句子，like和as引導(dǎo)從句時，其后不宜有逗號。
7. D something實際上作后面定語從句中謂語動詞的賓語，而"faucet" "spigot"和"tap"亦作該動詞的賓語。選項中只有called后可接雙賓語。
8. D前文提到的這些詞，在美國"仍然"能被人聽到。
9. C make up在此意為"invent"。
10. A根據(jù)上文"Americans often make up new words or change old ones"的描述可知：corn 一詞在美國指一種植物，而在英國則指"另一種"植物。"另一個"為another,the other 特指兩者中的另一個，two和on與another 沒有對應(yīng)關(guān)系。
11. B本句意為:在過去的三個世紀(jì)里，英文已為以前不被人們所知的東西增加了成千上萬的詞匯。所以，此處不可用"add... to"結(jié)構(gòu)。
12. B以前不"為人所知"的東西。
13. C從下文tin和can指相同事物的舉例來看，英式英語和美式英語是用"不同的"詞表達(dá)相同的意思。
14. D上文說過美式英語和英式英語在許多方面的表達(dá)形式不一樣，但radio—詞卻是全球通用的，當(dāng)然也包括"美國"。
15. A have sth. to do with..."與....... 有關(guān)系"。
16. B全文談的都是英語在美國和英國的不同用詞，所以同樣的東西在英式英語和美式英語中可能有兩個不同的"名字"。
17. D growing closer "變得越來越接近"。growing相當(dāng)于becoming0
18. A前面說美式英語和英式英語正變得越來越接近，所以此處當(dāng)然是說"英國人"現(xiàn)在可以通過各種渠道聽到大量的美式英語了。
19. C由后文的"on television, or from travel?er"可推知此處movies為最合適的選項。
20. C在人們看來，美式英語對英式英語的"影響"是越來越大了。

We live in a sweet world. The average American kids eat more than 20 teaspoons of sugar per day, and adults eat 50% more sugar today thati they did in the 1970s. We all know that too much sugar isn^t good for us. But did we know it could be dangerous? A team of researchers at the University of Utah used mice to do a study on the bad effects of sugar. They found it could have serious effects on people's health.
Sugar is found not only in sweets and candies, but also in many house?hold items like pasta and crackers.
During the 58-week-long study, mice were fed a diet containing 25% more sugar. This percentage equals a healthy human diet along with three cans of soda daily. The team found that these mice were twice as likely to die as mice fed a similar diet without the sugar. Though the mice did not show signs of obesity or high blood pressure, male mice produced 25% fewer offspring (后代)than the other mice.
Scientists often use mice for research because they have a similar genetic(基因的)structure to humans. "Since most substances (物質(zhì))that are danger?ous in mice are also dangerous in people, it's likely that those physical prob?lems that cause those mice to have increased deaths also work in people," says study author James Ruff of the University of Utah. Findings from this study show bad effects that are not as noticeable as weight gain or heart problems. Sugar can contribute to long-term changes in the body that can change development and even shorten lives.
Cutting sugar out of the American diet altogether may be difficult. But making the effort to control our nation's sugar need will provide for a truly sweeter future.
12. The study done by researchers aimed at learning about____ .
A. the advantages and disadvantages of sugar
B. the bad effects of sugar on people's health
C. the genetic structure of mice
D. American's eating habits
13. According to the study, which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. Sugar can even shorten lives.
B. Sugar's bad effects are not noticeable.
C. Eating much more sugar can make mice put on weight and get high blood pressure.
D. Mice are more likely to die when fed a diet containing 25 % more sugar.
14. From the passage we can infer______ .
A. sugar plays a very important role in Americans' diet
B. kids eat more sugar than adults in America
C. the study on human beings lasted 58 weeks
D. the genetic structure of mice is totally different from that of people
15. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Living a sweet life B. Kids eat much more sugar
C. Genetic structure of humans D. Danger of too much sugar

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain quali?ties(品盾)of character,especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).
Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time,however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(過錯)in others. He notices their good points. In short,a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默)，too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how to share the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

English idioms(習(xí)語)are widely used,especially in the spoken language. Here are some examples for you. Do you know what they mean? By the skin of your teeth
If you just succeed in doing something and come very close to failing，people might say you do it "by the skin of your teeth". For example, you pass a test by just a few points or win a match by a little bit.
Ask for the moon
If someone tells you not to ask for the moon,they mean you can't ask for something that you cannot get or have，or try for something impossible. On cloud nine
This expression is used to describe how you feel when something good happens to you,such as when you win first prize in a competition，when you get an A in an exam，or when you receive a nice present from your parents which you want to get so much.

Traveling out for a short time always seems great fun. But one thing you must consider is packing. Here are some tips to help you pack.
Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes. Keep the list for future reference(參考)-
Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo，toothpaste，and other items at your local shops. You can use the plastic container the next time you go away,too.
It's the best to be prepared and bring these items with you,but in an emergency, you can get them at the place you are going to. This is wonderful for light traveling (you'd be surprised at how much those little things can weigh you down) ，but remember that the time you spend buying things at the destination will reduce your visiting time.
It is the hardest thing to make a decision which clothes are suitable for the trip. Think once again from head to toe―hats,shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you have packed out what you wanted to bring with you,think carefully―do you really need that extra one? If so,fine,but make sure they are really worth the extra weight.
Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it is cold,you can wear a jacket, a sweater, a regular shirt,and a T-shirt. Laying up will keep you warm,and it will leave more room in your bag. After all,you are just visiting, not moving in for good. You probably won't miss the extra sweater too much for a few days,and it certainly won't miss you.
( ) 1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Some advice to help you pack for your travel.
B. The importance of the weather when you are traveling.
C. How to make a decision about which clothes are suitable for the trip.
D. How to share things with your friends while traveling.
( ) 2. The writer suggests that you
A. buy all the useful things at your destination
B. share everything with your friends while traveling
C. get those little things prepared and bring them with you
D. leave behind those little things if you get away for a short time
( ) 3. The underlined phrase "laying up" in the last paragraph means .
A. folding and laying one's clothes flat
B. squeezing most of your clothes into the bag
C. placing one's clothes together
D. wearing one's clothes one upon another
( ) 4. According to this passage, it is a most important factor in traveling
A. to prepare an extra pair of comfortable shoes
