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(yǔ)和法國(guó)的法語(yǔ)不一樣。

【解析】

句意：美國(guó)和英國(guó)的人都說英語(yǔ)。但是英語(yǔ)和英語(yǔ)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(guó)英語(yǔ)和美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的唯一區(qū)別。單詞有時(shí)也有不同的含義。有些美國(guó)詞在英國(guó)從未使用過。美國(guó)的一些英國(guó)詞匯也是如此。美國(guó)人開卡車，而英國(guó)人開卡車。兩國(guó)的許多表達(dá)方式也不同。語(yǔ)法上也有一些不同。例如，美國(guó)人在提問時(shí)通常使用助動(dòng)詞“do”。但是英國(guó)人經(jīng)常省略助動(dòng)詞。語(yǔ)言隨著時(shí)間的推移而變化。當(dāng)人們生活在不同的地方時(shí)，語(yǔ)言會(huì)以不同的方式變化。英語(yǔ)就是這樣。它也可能發(fā)生在其他語(yǔ)言上，比如法語(yǔ)。加拿大許多人講法語(yǔ)。

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

【2】英譯漢翻譯題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵短語(yǔ)British English and American English.是美式英語(yǔ)和英式英語(yǔ)；between…and…：在……和……兩者之間。故答案為英式英語(yǔ)和美式英語(yǔ)不僅僅是發(fā)音不同。

【3】漢譯英翻譯題。根據(jù)與……不同：be different from；法國(guó)的法語(yǔ)：the French of France�？芍�，故答案為But their French is different from the French of France.

【4】同義句。根據(jù)“語(yǔ)言的變化由于時(shí)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(jù)文中主要闡述了英式英語(yǔ)和美式英語(yǔ)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.

本文中長(zhǎng)句較多，一時(shí)很難讀懂句子含義，注意多讀幾遍，不要強(qiáng)求非得理解一詞一句的含義，能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。本文邏輯層次比較清晰，因此閱讀中不必刻意追求讀懂每個(gè)單詞，每句話，認(rèn)真帶著問題閱讀短文基本上就能完成本篇閱讀。
