for？Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better.That’s nguage 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.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 bees 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 shouldpay attention to grammar，but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头) it.They should put munication first. 1．According to the passage, language is used to ______.A．express oneselfB．practise grammar rulesC．talk with foreigners onlyD．learn lists of words2．Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he or she ________.A．never makes mistakesB．often makes mistakesC．can’t avoid making mistakesD．always makes mistakes3．The underlined sentence “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that ________.A．foreigners speak correct EnglishB．foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4．When we speak a foreign language，we should ________.A．speak in Chinese wayB．speak by the rulesC．speak to native speakersD．not be afraid of making mistakesBFor me，my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here.Last summer，a Canadian-Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to e to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“e to our school.”“Okay，” I replied，but I wasn’t sure if I meant it.We met later for coffee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.First of all，in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’t hard here.Taxis arevery cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent-free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food，but if you like it，you’ll be in heaven.Here I have a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.In the US，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.5．We can infer that at first the writer ________.A．wasn’t interested in teaching abroad at allB．wasn’t sure whether to accept the job to teach in ShanghaiC．knew she would be popular as a teacher in ChinaD．thought the Canadian-Chinese woman was joking6．According to the passage，it seems that ________.A．there are no good restaurants for the writer in ShanghaiB．the writer sometimes feels lonely in ShanghaiC．the writer doesn’t like traveling in ShanghaiD．the writer likes her life in Shanghai7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Living in a new place.B．Dealing with a challenge.C．Finding your way around.D．Taking a taxi.8．According to the last but one paragraph，the writer ________.A．is satisfied with her weightB．doesn’t have to pay for rentC．doesn’t like eating vegetablesD．is crazy about the traditional Chinese food答案基础落实Ⅰ.1.A 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.BⅡ.1.as 2.way 3.on 4.lie

外研版精品英语资料（精校版）Module 4 Which English? 单元测试题1第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
AYehia Jaber is a well-loved Lebanese poet. He grew up in a small town in Lebanon with a strict father. Jaber rebelled (反叛) against his father and became a fighter. But soon he saw that violence was not the way to solve the problem. So Jaber decided to try to change his country in a different way. He became a student and a writer.When Jaber was a young man he worked as a builder. But the other builders saw what a good student he was. Jaber’s co-workers and family knew that he should build up his mind, so they told Jaber to sit and study. Jaber studied until he had built something else.Instead of fighting with a gun, Jaber began to use poetry as a form of protest. And he is not the only poet to do this. Roxana Vilk made a film about six Middle Eastern poets. These poets have become leaders. Their poems show people what is happening. They also encourage people to work for change. In this film, Yehia Jaber says: “Basically, poetry is a cry of ‘no’. It is a ‘yes’ for change. The relationship between poetry and protest is a deep one. All revolutions begin as poetry. Poetry is questions. Change begins with questio ns.”Jaber’s poetry is often very funny. This sense of humor has made Jaber famous. Jaber even performs his poems as if he is a comedian. But Jaber is also saying something serious about his country. He writes about his personal experiences.One of Jaber’s poems is about a sad time in his life. His mother died of cancer. Jaber wanted to bury her body in her hometown. But that town was across a bridge that was guarded by soldiers, who wouldn’t let him pass. Every day he took his mother’s body t o the bridge in an ambulance. Every day he had to bring his mother back to the hospital morgue where dead bodies are kept. This experience made Jaber angry about the conflict.21. What made Yehia Jaber change his ideas and become a poet?A. His childhood experience.B. His experience as a fighter.C. His being under threat of violence.D. His difficult relationship with his father.22. We know from Paragraph 2 that Yehia Jaber _____.A. was an awkward builderB. was an expert at constructionC. was encouraged by others to be a poetD. was taught to write poems by his family23. What can we infer from Yehia Jaber’s words?A. Poetry causes problems.B. Poetry is a way to change society.C. Protesters are good at writing poems.D. Political leaders use poems to control people.24. Yehia Jaber’s poems are often _____.A. sadB. imaginativeC. romanticD. humorousBIf undelivered, please return to: Puzzler Media Subscriptions (订阅) Department, PO Box 453, Sittingbourne, Kent, ME9 8WT*Contact Details (详情)For change of address or subscription questions please contact our customer services hotline on: 08448267290 (UK) and +44 (0) 1795412807 (Overseas) Mon-Fri 8 am-8 pm.

It was part of the government’s efforts to expand the use of standard English and discourage the use of Singlish. The campaign targets Singaporeans under 40, including young working adults, parents and students at schools.The second campaign took place in April 2001. The yearly campaign is organised by the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts and is officially known as the Speak Good English Movement (SGEM).English-language proficiency (能力) became an issue in 1999 following reports in The Straits Times about the decline in English language standards in Singapore. The widespread use of Singlish was blamed for it. Singlish is a form of broken, ungrammatical English mixed with words and phrases from local dialects and Malay. This variety of Singlish is not understood by English speakers outside Singapore. Speaking good English means using grammatically correct English during conversations, where rules for constructing sentences are strictly followed, and avoiding words and phrases from local dialects and Malay.In his 1999 National Day Rally Speech on 22 August 1999, Goh Chok Tong, Prime Minister of Singapore, stressed the necessity for Singaporeans to speak good English. He stressed that Singaporeans learnt English in order to communicate with the world,and therefore, they should speak a form of English that is understood by the British, Americans, Australians and people around the world. Thus, he claimed that for Singapore to become global and a first-world economy, it was important that Singaporeans speak good English. Previously on 14 August 1999, the former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew had also stressed the importance of speaking good English, saying that Singaporeans ought to spea k good English “so that we can understand the world and the world can understand us.” He noted that Singlish was a “handicap (障碍)” he did not wish on Singaporeans. The government felt that something had to be done to promote English and that’s why the Spea k Good English Campaign came about.During the campaign, island-wide activities and programmes on good English were organised at schools, libraries and community (社区) clubs. TV programmes and articles that show how using good English can be fun were also featured in the mass media.28. What do we know about the Speak Good English Campaign?A. It has brought the expected results.B. It was first started by school teachers.C. It contributes to local English teaching.D. It aims to advocate the use of standard English.29. Following the campaign, Singaporeans are expected to _____.A. widen the variety of EnglishB. popularize their own SinglishC. create phrases from local dialectsD. use grammatically correct English30. By mentioning “handicap”, Lee Kuan Yew means that _____.A. the campaign discourages the use of SinglishB. standard English is being threatened by SinglishC. the government puts too much pressure on peopleD. Singlish may affect communication with the world31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The government is carrying out various activities.B. The Speak Good English Campaign is successful.C. Singapore is building libraries for English learners.D. Singaporeans are spending lots of time studying English.DA group of British researchers asked 12 healthy male college students to ride stationary (固定的) bicycles and at the same time to listen to music that “showed the taste of undergraduates”. The volunteers were told to ride the bicycles at a pace that they could comfortably keep for 30 minutes. Then each rode in three separate trials, wearing headphones through which their favorite music was played. Throughout the research period, each had his heart rate, power output, degree of enjoyment of the music and feelings about the comfort of the exercise checked. During one of the rides, the six songs ran normally. During the other rides, the tempo (速度) of the tracks was slowed by 10 percent or increased by 10 percent. The riders were not informed about the tempo changes.But their riding behavior changed greatly in response. When the tempo slowed, so did their pedaling. Their heart rates fell. Their mileage dropped. They reported that they didn’t like the music so much. On the other hand, when the tempo of the songs was upped by 10 percent, the men covered more miles in the same period of time, produced more power with each pedal stroke and increased their pedal rhythm.Their heart rates rose. They reported enjoying the music — the same music —about 36 percent more than when it was slowed. But, they did not find the workout easier. Their sense of how hard they were working rose 2.4 percent. The up-tempo music didn’t mask the discomfort of the exercise. But it seemed to encourage them to push themselves. As the researchers wrote, “When the music was played faster, the volunteers chose to accept, and even prefer, a greater degree of eff ort.”32. The volunteers in the research _____.A. liked riding greatlyB. listened to more than 10 songsC. rode to three different music temposD. were asked to ride as long as they wanted33. When the tempo was reduced, the volunteers _____.A. didn’t feel like ridingB. produced more powerC. enjoyed the music lessD. had no rhythm while riding34. What happened when the tempo increased?A. The music became unbearable.B. The mileage remained unchanged.C. The workout became more difficult.D. The comfort of the exercise increased.35. What would be the best title for this text?A. Does music make your exercise harder?B. The good effects of riding bicycles on healthC. Different students like different styles of musicD. Does listening to music make the heart healthier?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The scientists think a large earthquake and flooding probably destroyed the ancient settlement where they were discovered.Unlike modern Chinese noodles and Italian pasta (意大利面食) that are made mostly of wheat, the 4,000-year-old variety consisted of millet（黍）which is native to China.Wheat was not introduced from central and western Asia to northwestern China until about 5,000 years ago. “Archaeological evidence suggests that even though wheat was present in northwestern China 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, it was not commonly grown until much later,” Lu said.36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. World’s earliest noodles found in ChinaB. The origin o f Chinese noodlesC. The difference between Chinese noodles and Italian noodlesD. The history of Chinese noodles37. Until the discovery, it was generally believed that ____.A. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in ChinaB. the world’s oldest kno wn noodles were made in ItalyC. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the Middle EastD. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the East Han Dynasty38. According to the discovery, noodles were first made in China ____.A. 5,000 years agoB. between 25 and 220C. around 2,000 BCD. during the Middle Ages39. Which can be used as the evidence that world’s oldest noodles came from China?A. Chinese noodles are made mostly of wheat.B. Italian pasta is made mostly of millet.C. The unearthed noodles were made of millet which is native to China.D. Wheat was not commonly grown in China until about 5,000 years ago.40. We might see this passage in ____.A. an essayB. an advertisementC. a newspaperD. a magazineBCharlotte Thun-Hohenstein, 17, says that she is not yet ready to decide whether to choose a science or an arts subject when she goes to university.She is taking A levels in chemistry, maths, Latin and history, and would love to continue studying as many of them as possible at degree level.Charlotte, who attends St Paul’s Girls’School in Hammersmith, West London, is applying only to universities in the United States because they offer a broader curriculum (课程) and do notforce students to specialise until after the first year. She has applied to seven American universities, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown.She said: “I want to go to the US because I don’t know what to study. I enjoy both arts and sciences. The US is much broader. They encourage you to take many courses and you end up choosing a major. In the first year you explore what interests you.”“I’m not applying to any British universities. I want to go to the US because of the breadth of study and also the extracurricular（课外的）life.”“I love singing, music in general, and community service. My friend and I have set up a choir at a local primary school, and we lead discussions on moral issues and organize creative activities for the lower school. I play the piano in a swing band and sing in school productions.”“I think there is more on offer in the US and the opportunities are more diverse.”“There is still a huge difference in the US and British fees, but I’m very lucky I don’t have to worry about that. The US universities do have incredibly extensive financial support for those who need it.”“I hope that there’s a strong international community wherever I end up studying.”41. In the passage, Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein mainly talks about ____.A. her puzzle in choosing subjects at collegeB. why she chooses to study in an American universityC. the difference between British and American educationD. her favorite subjects at middle school42. In Britain, university students ____.A. have to choose a specialized subject in the first yearB. are allowed to choose any subject they likeC. can choose their favorite subject in the second yearD. are only allowed to study a certain subject all through the college years43. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein wants to study in an American university mainly because ____.A. she wants to learn more advanced technologyB. she can get extensive financial supportC. she can find her real interest in the first yearD. she can meet more international students44. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein has to ____ if she wants to study in an American university.A. pay higher feesB. do more community serviceC. drop some of her interestsD. adapt herself to a diverse life45. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein _____.A. has strong ambitionB. has no idea of her ownC. has unrealistic expectationD. has broad interestsCPresident Bush may talk about a mission (使命) to Mars, but Bruce Jones is betting there is still a healthy thirst for exploration into underwater worlds on our own planet.Jones, who has spent 17 years designing and selling submarines (潜水艇) for private use, has $40 million invested to build a luxurious (奢侈的) hotel.Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge—the only undersea hotel now in existence—guests at the Poseidon won’t need to put on a wet suit and dive to their rooms. They also won’t need to worry about changing pressure levels since the hotel will be maintained at above-surface pressure.Instead, they can go to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by lift.“I thin k there are a great number of people who would be interested,” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”It sounds impressive, but will it happen? It’s hard to say, considering Jones’ project is only one of the latest great ideas to expand real estate under the sea.His company features luxurious submarines ranging in price from $1 million to $80 million. Having been in the business for a while, Jones claims he has a realistic sense of what it takes to start an underwater business project. As he says, when it comes to meeting regulations for his submarine fleet, “The paperwork ends up weighing as much as the submarine.”For his part, Craig Cooper, the operations director for the Aquarius research station, hopes at least one of the latest project proposals comes to fruition. “By now I envisioned we’d have entire underwater cities. It’s about time some of these visions (想像) became reality,” Cooper said.46. Why does the writer mention President Bush in the first paragraph?A. It was he who first suggested the underwater exploration.B. The writer stressed the exploration into underwater worlds can win support from Bush.C. The president’s talk is to bring in the story of the underwater hotel.D. The writer wants to compare missions to Mars with underwater hotels.47. This passage is mainly about ____.A. the plan to build a luxurious hotel under the seaB. Jones’ plan to build underwater citiesC. the conditions of the luxurious hotelD. the greatest underwater project in history48. Which of the following statements about Jones’ underwater hotel is NOT mentioned?A. The pressure will be kept in the hotel as high as that on the ground.B. The hotel will be equipped with lift so that guests need no wet suits.C. Every room will cost guests at least $ 1,500 per night.D. Jones’ underwater hotel will be as expensive as the Jules Lodge.49. The underlined word “envisioned” in the last paragraph means “____”.A. supposedB. dreamedC. predictedD. wished50. From the passage we can see ____.A. the hotel has already been in useB. the hotel will be the largest oneC. it is easy to build the underwater hotelD. Jones is optimistic about the hotelDCalifornia ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake (响尾蛇) skin and spread it on their fur to mask their scent (气味) from snakes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.Barbara Clucas, a graduate student in animal behavior at UC Davis, observed ground squirrels and rock squirrels applying snake scent to themselves by picking up pieces of shed (被脱下的) snakeskin, chewing it and then licking their fur.Adult female squirrels and juveniles (少年) apply snake scent more often than adult males, which are less likely to be attacked by snakes, Clucas said. The scent probably helps to mask the squirrel’s own scent, especially when the animals are asleep in their burrows（洞穴）at night, or to persuade a snake that another snake is in the burrow.The squirrels are not limited to the use of shed snake skins, said Donald Owings, a professor of psychology at UC Davis who is Clucas’ adviser and an author on the paper. They also pick up snake scent from soil and other surfaces on which snakes have been resting, and use that to apply scent.Snake-scent application is one of a remarkable package of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes, Owings said. In earlier work, Owings’ lab has found that squirrels can heat up their tails to send a warning signal to rattlesnakes, which can “see” in the infrared rays（红外线）and judge how dangerous a particular snake is, based on the sound of its rattle. In addition, work by Owings’colleague, psychology professor Richard Coss, has shown that these squirrels have developed resistance to snake venom（毒液）.“It’s a nice example of the opportunism of animals,” Owings said. “They’re turning the tables on the snake.”51. The two kinds of California squirrels mentioned in the passage apply snake scent to ____.A. make themselves poisonous to snakesB. frighten snakes awayC. develop resistance to snake venomD. cover up their own smell52. Adult female squirrels and juveniles apply snake scent more often because ____.A. they are more likely to be caught and eaten by snakesB. they have a stronger body smell themselvesC. they spend more time sleeping in their burrowsD. they are can be seen more easily by snakes53. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Other findings on squirrels by Owings’ colleague.B. Other means of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes.C. The most effective defense squirrels use against rattlesnakes.D. Examples of the opportunism of animals.54. According to Owings, squirrels heat up their tails to ____.A. cheat a snakeB. send off infrared raysC. warn the snakeD. give other squirrels warning signals55. The passage implies that a snake traces squirrels mainly by their ____.A. heatB. scentC. figuresD. shadows第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分25分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever marketing or competition pressure, so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing for Christmas.Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their children’s Christmas, it’s quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out before __________. This leads parents to go to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift.In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the TV series Thunderbirds, and Buzz Lightyear, from t he film Toy Story. These years’ must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication that British children are becoming more and more technologically knowledgeable. Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related toTV programmes, such as popular science-fiction series Doctor Who, and pre-school sensation In the Night Garden, as well as the main character from the movie Transformers.As parents desperately (不顾一切地) search shops and online retailers for the gifts their children want, some people are making money from it. Those who predicted the trends (趋势) bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits on online auction (拍卖) websites.Special websites have been set up to inform parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. But with so many people signing up it’ll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they are sold out again.Some children will unavoidably be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let’s hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.76. What’s the best title for the passage? (within 10 words)77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?As a result, parents will try their best to get what their child want for Christmas.78. Please fill the blank in Para. 2 with proper words or phrases. (within 10 words)79. For what reason will some children be disappointed on Christmas morning? (within 10 words)80. Please translate the underlined sentence in Para.6 into Chinese.第二节写作（满分15分）【写作要求】众所周知，树林一直都是人类生存的朋友和依靠。

And in the 31 300 years, there were so many 32 in both places that now people can easily 33 an English person from an American in the 34 he or she talks.Many old words 35 in England but were kept in America. For example, 300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they 36 either a “faucet”, “spigot”, or a “tap”. All these words are 37 heard in different parts of America, but only “tap” is still 38 in England. Americans often make 39 new words or change old ones. “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 40 in England.Also, over the last three centuries the English language has 41 thousands of new words for things that weren't 42 before. And often, American and English people used two 43 names for them. A tin can is called “tin” for short in English, but a “can” in America. The word “radio” is44 all over the world, in cluding America. But many English people call it a “wireless”. And almost anything45 something to do with cars, railroads, has different 46 in British and American English.But now American and British English may be 47 closer together. One thing is that 48 people can hear a large amount of American speech daily in 49 , on television, or from travelers. Because of this, Americans 50 to be influencing the British more and more.

Language upon Thames is a school aimed to offer help with language learningB“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I firs t read this sentence from an American friend's email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinese.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruled English grammar and structure. Later on, after being told it's a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words couldn't convince me at all. So I did a research on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see". This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, movies, newspapers or any other places. Though sort of informal, it is part of the language that American use daily. However, if you type this expression in Microsoft Word, it will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie-makers successfully created a famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. De tective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew(混杂物). All kinds of culture are mixed and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza form Italian, susi from Japanese. There is a long list! Americans don't just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you wouldn't be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.55. The writer himself felt surprised at .A. reading “Long time no see”B. knowing the expression is standard American EnglishC. seeing the literal translation of the expressionD. finding out all the Americans use the expression daily56. The word “trademark” underlined probably means .A. design of a manufacture's goodsB. Confucius' s wordsC. Charlie Chan's creationD. representative of Charlie Chan57. According to the passage, it can be inferred that .A. detective like the expression “Long time no see”B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD. all kinds of culture can be changed in the huge pot of stew58. Which of the following is Not true?A. Informal language sometimes doesn't go with grammar and structure.B. Language in Microsoft system is ruled by grammar and structure.C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.CPeople in Hong Kong speak a rich mixture of languages. Hong Kong was a British colony for more than 156 years before it was returned to Chinese control in 1997. English was the only official language until 1994.Most people in Hong Kong today speak Cantonese, but Mandarin and other dialects also are heard, and English as the British used is still widely spoken and taught here. Now however, many people are choosing to learn English as it is spoken in the United States.Victor Chan, for example, has children who attend school called Nature EQ on Saturday and Sunday, and they are learning to say words the American way. Mr. Chan says he wants his sons to learn American English, because he plans to send them to the United States for further study.Nature EQ is one of a growing number of schools in Hong Kong that offer American English classes. Frankie Ng opened the school 17 years ago, at that time, he had only 40 students. Today, the school has 350 students, and it does not have space for any more.Mr. Ng says American English is clear and defined, he says it is easy to teach and easily understood. That, however, is not the main concern of the children.Public schools in the former British colony still teach mostly British English. But the number of private language schools teaching American English is growing.In Hong Kong's Tseung Kwan O district, for example, the "American English Workshop school" had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. Today, it has more than 180 each week.Some observers say American English is becoming the language of international business. Increased contact with American culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the Internet is spreading American expressions and accents in areas other than business.But for now, people hearing English in the streets of Hong Kong are mainly hearing traditional British English."We can understand both, but for what we speak, we speak with the British accent," said one local woman."The British is better I think," commented a local man.59. Which of the following is TRUE about the language spoken in Hong Kong?A. English is still the only official language now.B. British English is still widely spoken and taught at present.C. Most people are learning American English now.D. All people in Hong Kong can speak Cantonese.60. What can we learn from the examples shown in this passage?A. Views are different on American English.B. Not all people like American English.C. American English is becoming more popular.D. American English is better than British English.61. What does the underlined word "it" refer to?A. British English.B. American English.C. American English Workshop school.D. Hong Kong.62. What can we infer from the passage?A. American English and British English will go hand in hand in the future.B. American English will be more popular than British English.C. British accent is clear and easy to study.D. Local people can't understand both of the two kinds of English.DWhile there are certainly many more varieties of English, American and British English are the two varieties that are the most common. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct". However, there are certainly preferences in use. The most important rule of thumb is to try to be consistent in your usage. If you decide that you want to use American English spellings then you should be consistent in your spelling (i.e. The colour of the orange is also its flavour—color is American spelling and flavour is British), this is of course not always easy—or possible. The following guide is meant to point out the principal differences between these two varieties of English.In British English the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example, I've lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In American English the following is also possible: I lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In British English the above would be considered incorrect. However, both forms are generally accepted in standard American English. Other differences involving the use of the present perfect in British English and simple past in American English include already, just and yet.British English: I've just had lunch./I've already seen that film./Have you finished your homework yet?American English: I just had lunch. Or I've just had lunch./I've already seen that film. Or I already saw that film./Have you finished your homework yet? Or did you finish your homework yet?There are two forms to express possession in English. Have or have got:Do you have a car?/Have you got a car?He hasn't got any friends./He doesn't have any friends.She has a beautiful new home./She's got a beautiful new home.While both forms are correct (and accepted in both British and American English), "have got (have you got, he hasn't got, etc.)" is generally the preferred form in British English while most speakers of American English employ the "have (do you have, he doesn't have etc.)".63.
