20.Once a New Zealand teacher asked where I live."In the white building,"I answered."At our university both girls and boys live in the same dormitory."I added.Beyond my expectation(出乎意料),however,my attempt(努力)to show I am speaking American English(AE) turned out to be something else.The New Zealander seemed very puzzled(迷惑)at my answer.With a half smile,she asked,"Really?Do they live in the same room?""Oh,no.They live in different rooms but in the same building."I reacted(反應(yīng))quickly.
Later I got to know the word"dormitory".In AE it means one building,whereas(而,卻)it means one room in  British English(BE).The New Zealander misunderstood me because she spoke New Zealander English(NE),which,as we know,is much related to BE.
Nowadays,not a few English learners,who try to catch up with the fashion(時(shí)髦),choose to speak AE.
Yet,the problem is that they cannot speak pure AE,but half AE and half BE instead.I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid(避免)misunderstanding.

24.Which of the following is right?C
A.AE and BE are two different languages.
B.New Zealanders speak BE.
C.There are some differences between AE and BE.
D.New Zealanders cannot understand Americans.
25.What I said to the New Zealander is.A
A.really pure AE
B.really pure BE
C.half AE and  half BE
D.not English at all
26.According to the passage,D.
A.few people speak AE 
B.more people speak BE
C.BE is becoming fashionable
D.AE is becoming fashionable
27.The writer wrote the passage in order toC.
A.tell us a funny story
B.warn us not to make mistakes
C.encourage us to speak one style of English
D.tell us the differences between AE and BE.

分析 本文講述了由美式英語和新西蘭英語(與英式英語很相近)的差異引起的誤解.

解答 24..C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.閱讀全文可知A、B、D三項(xiàng)與文意不符,而由第五段"Later I got to know the word‘dormitory'.In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English(BE)."可知,美式英語和英式英語之間是有區(qū)別的,故選C.
25.A  推理判斷題.由第二段中"…my effort to show I am speaking American English(AE) turned out to be something else."和第五段"In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English(BE)."可知,"我"對這個(gè)新西蘭人說的是純正的美式英語.故選A.
26.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由倒數(shù)第三段"…not a few English learners,who try to catch up with the fashion,choose to speak AE."可知美式英語越來越流行.not a few相當(dāng)于many,即許多.故選D.
27.C 推理判斷題.由文章最后一句"I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid misunderstanding."可知,作者希望只說一種風(fēng)格的語言,以避免誤解,故選C.

點(diǎn)評 本文是人生感悟類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)

8.When I was young,I had an old neighbor named Dr.Gibbs.He didn't look like any doctor I'd ever known.He never shouted at us for playing in his yard.I remembered him as a neighbor who was nicer than anyone else in the neighborhood.When Dr.Gibbs was happy,he was planting trees.And his life's goal was to make it a forest.
Dr.Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting.He talked about trees that weren't watered would grow deep roots in search of water.So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak (橡樹) and,instead of watering it every morning,he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the tree's attention.
Dr.Gibbs died a couple of years.Every now and then,I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago.They're very strong now.
I planted a couple of trees a few years later.I watered them regularly and took good care of them.Whenever a cold wind blows,they shake their leaves and branches.
The funny thing about those trees of Dr.Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.

1.What was Dr.Gibbs'life goal?B
A.To save more lives.

    It takes some extra efforts to organize yourself and your stuff.(54)DThe less time you spend hunting around for things or panicking about homework,the more time you have for better things,like reading a good book or playing.
