第四部分:完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分22.5分) The British people are famous for being quite reserved(保守的). We are known around the world for having the biggest "personal space "----the distance（距离）between us and the person we are 21 to. I have never been more aware of this than over the last month, since I arrived in China. Getting used to Chinese colleagues（workmate同事） 22 close by me and even placing their hands on my arm is proving quite difficult. My natural British reaction is to 23 back and move away, even though I realize it is a friendly gesture by the Chinese person. I have 24 many people holding hands or putting their arms around each other as they walk along the streets of Beijing. This would rarely（seldom）be seen in the UK, even between very close friends. And staring(瞪，盯) at someone in Britain is considered very 25 . But here, I find myself being stared at often. It 26 me long to realize this was not rude in China, but a 27 of curiosity. I visited Datong last week, where the local(native) people are 28 used to Westerners. An elderly woman couldn't believe her 29 when she saw me. And 30 feel offended(upset) by her staring at me, I was 31 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 32 their copies of the newspaper. And one girl at the Yungang Grottoes asked to have her picture taken with me. I 33 like a celebrity(famous person)! I have 34 over the last month how true it is that the British are very 35 . We can learn a lot about friendliness from China's culture and habits. And I am learning more every day.21. A. turning B. talking C. pointing D. listening22.

Yes, and add to that Australian English. And any other variety(kind) 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(often) used.Category BrE AmEEasy:Known in the United Kingdom but not necessarily in the US.

When a man says “In the fall, my wife bought me a few more pants”, we know that he is probably from ______. A. Australia B. Britain C. America D. New Zealand 47. 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 B. married: angry C. mad; busy D. busy; mad48. What does the underlined word “priority” in the passage mean? A. Earlier time. B. Special attention. C. Unimportance. D. Special right. B 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”. 注释：“e. g.” = “for example” 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. 49. The Americans hardly say “_____” A. Good-bye. Have a good day! B. Glad to know you! C. Hi! D. Have you got a car? 50. What does the fifth paragraph talk about?(倒数第二段) 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. 51. 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. 52. The underlined word “predicted” means ______ in Chinese. A. 解释 B. 预言 C. 考虑 D. 证明CA Noah Webster kkkkAs a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples --- a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold. Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf”. People liked Webster’s suggestions. However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”. With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828.Webster’s dictionary had over 70000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day. Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow. 53. Which of the following statements is right? A. Noah Webster had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student. B. Noah Webster had his own government when he was very young. C. When Noah Webster taught at schools, he wrote some story books. D. As a teacher, Noah Webster wasn’t satisfied with the books he used. 54. The third paragraph mainly tells us that _____. A .Webster spoke English in a different way B. American people didn’t write English as exactly as English people did C. Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks D. American people didn’t like speaking English 55. In ‘American history, Noah Webster is famous for _____. A .his teaching methods B .his dictionary C .his fighting for freedom D .learning foreign languages 56. The last sentence of this passage means ______. A .most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s B .most dictionaries in American English have the characteristics of Webster’s C .most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing D .Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States D 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. 57. 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 mistakes58. 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 English59. 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 mistakes60. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A. When there are enough Chinese people making the same mistake in English, the mistake is no longer a mistake.B. One should not always pay too much attention to grammar when learning a foreign language.C. It is most important to know all about a language when learning it.D. Language is for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words第二节 信息匹配请阅读下列文章和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读以下有关“怎样才能学好英语”的内容：How to Learn EnglishA. Motivation for learning English What is necessary to learn English well? You have to change your life a little — do crazy things like talking to yourself in English or spending your evening reading a dictionary. In order to do these things, and do them regularly, you have to enjoy doing them. If you are like most learners and don't feel like doing these things, you will have to work on your motivation(interest). B. Getting a good English dictionary You need a good English dictionary. An English dictionary is the most important thing that you will need when learning English. Successful English learners use their dictionaries all the time — that's how they learn to use new words. C. Learn English without mistakes You can damage your English by writing and speaking. Your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation can get worse because of practice. When you speak or write and you make mistakes, you teach yourself bad habits. These bad habits may be difficult to eliminate(erase). The solution(way out) is simple: Avoid mistakes! Try to say or write only correct English sentences. (avoid避免)D. Learning English pronunciation Why should you study English pronunciation? Because pronunciation is the biggest thing that people notice about your English. You should study it even if you think you can already communicate in English. E. Input - getting English into your head What is input and why you need it? Input is a short word for "English sentences that you read or listen to". When you read and listen to English sentences, parts of the sentences stay in your memory, which lets you build similar sentences yourself. Input——not speaking, writing or grammar tests——is what you need to use English grammar and vocabulary like a native speaker. F. SuperMemo and learning English What is Supe rMemory and what can it give you? It is an advanced computer program which can help you build an impressive knowledge of English. How does it work? You add some knowledge to SuperMemo (e.g. 100 English words), and every day you review part of the knowledge (e.g. 5 words). In the process, SuperMemo collects information about your memory.以下是五位同学对各种英语学习方法的理解与阐述，请将以下五位同学的阐述与上面How to Learn English文段中的相关学习方法进行匹配：Jack Anderson Study pronunciation (all the English sounds and at least basic English words) before you open your mouth. Get lots of English sentences into your head (by reading and listening) before you open your mouth or write in English. To be always correct, you need to follow good examples. When you speak or write, be careful, slow, and use simple language. (C) Margaret Lillian Improving your desire for learning English: We share our psychological tricks that helped us enjoy learning English and that you can use to boost your motivation and make a difference in your English. (1. desire欲望; 2. psychological心理上的，精神上的) (A) Alice Fingelhamm You shouldn't learn English by grammar rules because grammar rules are difficult to memorize and because building sentences by using grammar rules is very slow. You can't use English fluently if you have to think about grammar rules. (E)Peter Florian Learn to say every English sound correctly. The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet are shown in the table. You can listen to recorded examples of each sound. What is good English pronunciation? Your pronunciation is good if it is understandable and pleasant.
