19．I ran into quite a few language problems while vacationing with my family last summer．The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her"pants were dirty"．They looked at her in amazement，not knowing how to react．You see，Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans．But in Britain，"pants"means underpants or knickers，not trousers as it does back home．
                                                        Katie-From America
I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer．Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up．Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn't find it．Fed up and tired，I finally had to go out to find a phone box．She explained that her flat was on the first floor，which for me meant the ground floor．
                                                        David-From Britain
When I asked for the"restroom"in a big department store，people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and"rest"．It took me years to get through to someone that I only wanted the toilet!
                                                        Tom-From America
Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday，so Dad hired a car over the Internet．This was an old vehicle and there turned out to be lots of things wrong with it．When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken，they thought he was talking about footwear!He had no idea their word for"boot"was"trunk"．In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem．
                                                           Mary-From Britain
51．Hearing Katie's mother's words，Katie's friends were in amazement becauseC．
A．Katie's mother got mud on her jeans            
B．Katie's mother's underpants were dirty
C．they mistook"pants"in American for underpants 
D．they didn't know English
52．David went out to find a phone box toB．

D．a(chǎn) place to repair cars
55．Which of the following words is from British English？B
A．Pants
B．Ground floor
C．Restroom
D．Trunk．

分析 本文屬于廣告類閱讀，作者通過篇文章向我們介紹了英式英語與美式英語用法不同所引起的誤會．

解答 51．C  推理判斷題．根據(jù)Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans．媽媽摔倒了，褲子上沾到了泥．my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her"pants were dirty"．媽媽因此向和我們一起的人表示抱歉．But in Britain，"pants"means underpants or knickers（ 內(nèi)褲），not trousers as it does back home．．英式英語中，pants特指內(nèi)褲，語義差異使得英國人產(chǎn)生了誤解，故選C．
52．B  推理判斷題，根據(jù)Fed up and tired，I finally had to go out to find a phone box．She explained that her flat was on the first floor，which for me meant the ground floor．可知戴維找電話亭是為了給朋友打電話尋求幫助，故選B．
53．A  推理判斷題．根據(jù)When I asked for the"restroom"in a big department store，people kept directing（指引） me to a room with seats where I could sit and"rest"．可知當湯姆尋找"restroom"，周圍的人把他帶到了一個有椅子的房間，在那里可以坐著休息，周圍人認為他是想要休息了，故選A．
54．D  詞義解析題．聯(lián)系上下文可以知道．When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken．他打電話給租車公司，試圖解釋清楚車后備箱的鑰匙是壞的．In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem．最后他們到了garage 才解決了這個問題．所以garage 是修車行，故選D．
55．B  細節(jié)理解題．通讀全文可知ACD三個選項在英式和美式英語中都有，只是意思不同，而B只在英式英語中出現(xiàn)，故選B．

點評 考查學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

9．Grammar is the system of a language．People sometimes describe grammar as the"rules"of a language； but in fact no language has rules．If we use the word"rules"，we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language，like a new game．But languages did not start like that．Languages started by people making sounds which evolved （逐漸發(fā)展成） into words，phrases and sentences．No commonly-spoken language is fixed．All languages change over time．What we call"grammar"is simply a reflection （反映） of a language at a particular time．
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language？The short answer is"no"．Very many people in the world speak their own，native language without having studied its grammar．Children start to speak before they even know the word"grammar"．But if you are serious about learning a foreign language，the long answer is"yes，grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently．"It's important to think of grammar as something that can help you，like a friend．When you understand the grammar （or system） of a language，you can understand many things yourself，without having to ask a teacher or look in a book．
So think of grammar as something good，something positive，something that you can use to find your way---like a signpost（路標） or a map．
Except invented languages like Esperanto（世界語）．And if Esperanto were widely spoken，its rules would soon be very different．
21．Which of the following statements is NOT true？B
A．Grammar is the system of a language．
B．Someone created the grammar first and then people learn the language according to it．
C．Language's developing and forming is a long-term process （過程）．
D．There is no language staying the same all the time．
22．What is the author's attitude towards grammar learning？C
A．He is against grammar learning．
B．He is in favor of grammar learning．
C．His attitude is objective（客觀的）．
D．His attitude is unknown to us．
23．Which of the following is CORRECT according to the last paragraph？C
A．Esperanto is widely spoken．
B．Esperanto is different from other languages because its rules are fixed．
C．Esperanto is different from other languages because its rules came out before this language．
D．Esperanto is very easy to learn．

11．My daughter and myself were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas．We were running low on gas on our way to Roswell and figured we'd see a gas station soon enough to fill up．But that didn't happen and we realized we were not going to make it to the next town．So my daughter made up a sign that read"Low on gas．Can u help？"and held it outside her window hoping that a driver in the next lane （車道） would notice it and stop．
It was about 3：30pm and there weren't too many vehicles passing us．An SUV was driving along in the neighboring lane ahead of us．We caught up with it in the hope that the driver would notice the sign．An elderly gentleman was driving it and after a brief expression of confusion on his face，he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over．
He was friendly and was eager to help us．At first he thought we didn't have enough money to buy gas，so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10miles away!!When we explained our situation of not having enough gas to get to Roswell，he said he worked on a farm and was returning home from work．The farm was about 10minutes away and they had a gas pump there．So if we could give him twenty minutes，he would head back there，get gasoline and fill up our tank （油箱）．
We could not believe our good fortune!We had just hoped that whoever stopped to help would be kind enough to call AAA when they got to Roswell as there was no cell phone for either of us．And we would just wait it out for them to come and help us．
We were grateful for the kindness of strangers such as this person as we waited for him to return．Sure enough，he was back and immediately filled our tank．He refused to take payment for the gas saying"what good is a man who cannot help another in need"．Tears flowed，as did our gratitude．

32．What happened when we were halfway to Dallas？C
A．Our car broke down．
B．My wife made a call．
C．We were short of petrol．
D．We saw a gas station．
