第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

和D）中，选出最佳选项。

The British people are famous for being quite reserved（保守的）. We are known

around the world for having the biggest “personal 16 ”—the distance between us and the person we are 17 to.

I have 18 been more aware of this than over the last month, since I arrived in

China. Getting used to Chinese colleagues 19 close by me and even placing their

hands on my arm is proving quite 20.

My natural British reaction is to 21 back and move away, even though I realize it is a friendly gesture by the Chinese person.

I have 22 many people holding hands or putting their arms around each other as they walk along the streets of Beijing. This would rarely be seen in the UK , even between very close friends.

And 23 at someone in Britain is considered very 24. But here, I find myself being stared at often. It 25 me long to realize this was not rude in China, but a 26 of curiosity.

I visited Datong last week, where the local people are 27 used to Westerners. An elderly woman couldn’t believe her 28 when she saw me. And 29 feel offended（使不舒服） by her staring at me, I was 30 to see her smile back when I said “Nihao.” When I visited one of Datong’s middle schools to talk about English Weekly, the students asked me to 31 their copies of the newspaper. And one girl at the Yungang Grottoes asked to have her picture taken with me. I 32 like a celebrity（名人）!

I have 33 over the last month how true it is that the British are very 34. We can learn a lot about 35 from China’s culture and habits. And I am learning more every day. 16. A. feeling 17. A. turning

B. secret C. signal

D. space

B. talking C. pointing D. listening

C. almost D. always C. standing D. passing C. friendly D. interesting C. pull

D. look D. watched

18. A. never B. hardly 19. A. sleeping B. coming 20. A. easy B. difficult 21. A. go B. push

22. A. seen B. heard C. exchanged 23. A. hitting

B. speaking C. smiling D. staring

C. polite D. equal C. used

D. paid

24. A. rude B. cruel 25. A. took B. spent 26. A. scene B. scenery

C. sight D. sign

27. A. more B. less C. quite D. somehow

D. ears

28. A. tongue B. experience C. eyes

29. A. more than B. rather than C. less than D. no more than 30. A. pleased

B. unwilling

C. surprised D. angry

D. sign D. acted

31. A. pronounce B. publish C. share 32. A. felt B. seemed

C. sounded

33. A. repeated B. compared C. realized D. noticed 34. A. tidy

B. reserved

C. brave D. independent

35. A. cleverness B. friendliness C. happiness D. politeness 第三部分：阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

What is language for？Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar

rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better．That’s wrong．Language is for the exchange of ideas and information．It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely．Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can’t speak correctly or fluently（流利地）. They are afraid of making mistakes．One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language．Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too．Bernard Shaw once wrote， “Foreigners often speak English too correctly．” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make．They’re English mistakes in the English language．And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history，they make language．But a people can only make its own language．It can’t make another people’s language．So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar， but they shouldn’t overdo it． They should put communication first．

36. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he _____. A. never makes mistakes

B. often makes mistakes C. can’t avoid making mistakes D. always makes mistakes

37. The sentence “Foreigners often speak English too correctly．” means that ______. A. foreigners speak correct English B. foreigners speak incorrect English

C. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules D. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English 38. When we speak a foreign language, we should ______. A. speak in the Chinese way B. speak according to the rules C. break the rules

D. not be afraid of making mistakes

B

Am I expected to learn both American English and British English vocabulary?

Yes, and add to that Australian English. And any other variety that is useful for your needs. If you intend to study in the United Kingdom, or work for a British company, then obviously you will need to spend more time on British English (BrE). If you plan to work in the United States, then you will need to pay attention to American English (AmE).

However, let’s make the task a little easier for you. Some differences in BrE/AmE

vocabulary are more difficult to deal with than others. (See the chart.)

In addition to the categories（种类） on the chart, there is another category which could be described as unguessable, but the words are less important to learn. Such differences as aubergine / eggplant, spring onion / scallion, jug /pitcher may be interesting, but you should not give them priority as they are less frequently used. Category Easy： BrE Chips AmE rench Fries Cookie Known in the United Biscuit Kingdom but not Call box Rubbish Engaged Telephone booth Garbage Busy Necktie Fall Cookbook Men’s room Expressway/Freeway Pants Underwear Mad Sidewalk Line necessarily in the US. Guessable: Tie You can guess these Autumn without difficulty. too much Cookery book Gents Motorway Unguessable: Important to learn both. Trousers Pants Angry Pavement Queue 39. When a man says “In the fall, my wife bought me a few more pants”, we know that he is probably from ______. A. Australia C. America

B. Britain

D. New Zealand

40. When someone says “He’s engaged. Don’t bother him, or he’ll get angry.”, in AmE it means “He’s ______. Don’t bother him, or he’ll get ______”. A. studying; mad C. mad; busy

B. married: angry D. busy; mad

41. What does the underlined word “priority” in the passage mean? A. Earlier time.

B. Special attention.

C. Unimportance. D. Special right.

C

American and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest

greeting is “Hi”. In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?”. “Hi!” is creeping(不知不觉地进入) into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.”

When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day.” or “Have a good trip.” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use “Have a good day.”

The British usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.

AmE: Do you have a car, room, etc.? Yes, I do. BrE: Have you got a car, room, etc.? Yes, I have.

There are a number of differences between American and British English in the

spelling of words, e.g. check(US)/cheque (UK). Many American words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our,” e.g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with “ise” or “ising”, e.g. organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” In American English, one writes “traveler,” while in British English, one writes “traveller”.

It was once predicted that British and American English would become separate

languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(联系) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上地),and probably culturally(文化上地) too, they are closer together than ever. 42. The Americans hardly say “_____”

A. Good-bye. Have a good day! B. Glad to know you! C. Hi! D. Have you got a car? 43. What does the fifth paragraph talk about?

A. There are lots of differences in spelling between AmE and BrE. B. Why do the Americans and the British use different spellings? C. There are few differences in spelling between AmE and BrE. D. The different usages of words in AmE and BrE. 44. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The two languages will become separate languages. B. American English will be used more and more. C. The two languages will be closer and closer.

D. British English will be used more and more. 45. The underlined word “predicted” means ______ in Chinese. A. 解释 B. 预言 C. 考虑

D. 证明
