Englishmen speak British English and Americans speak American English. A student is learning to speak British English. He often asks himself, “Can Americans understand me when I speak British English?” Learners often ask “What’s the difference between British English and American English?”Certainly there are some differences between British and American English. The Englishmen say “Have you a pen?” While Americans say “Do you have a pen?” The pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans often sound “r” in words like “bird” and “hurt”. The British speakers don’t sound the “r” in these words. There are differences in spelling. For example, “colour” and “neighbour” are British while “color” and “neighbor” are American. These differences in grammar, pronunciation and spelling are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language. When Englishmen and Americans are talking with each other, they don’t need an interpreter(翻譯). Maybe some day they need, but not now.

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers (消費(fèi)者) these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (配方) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.
Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages (普通包裝). These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.www.zxxk.com
Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology (心理) behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom (底部) of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.
1.All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2 except ________.
A. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands
B. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items
C. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands
2.What does the writer think about ads?
A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.
C. They are helpful to consumers. D. They are full of misinformation.
3.One of the author’s suggestions to consumers is ________.
A. to make use of ads
B. to buy only ordinary items instead of famous brands
C. to buy high quality items such as famous brands after lunch
D. not to buy items with words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”
4.The author implies(暗示) that _________.
A. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth
B. discount clothing stores are good places to go to
C. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy less than you plan to
D. the quality of ordinary items is usually higher and the prices are relatively lower.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2015屆江蘇省高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact(聯(lián)系) with people from around the world. This means that many new words and phrases entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect (方言)of London became the standard. In 1604, the first English dictionary was published.
The numbers of words in Early Modern English and Late Modern English differ. Late Modern English has a lot more words because of two main factors(因素): firstly, the Industrial Revolution created a need for new words; secondly, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries.
From around 1600, the English colonization(殖民地化)of North America resulted in the creation of American English. Some English pronunciation and words froze when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that the British call “ Americanisms” are in fact original (原先的)British expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in Britain. Spanish also had an influence on American English, with words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante being examples of Spanish words that entered English. French words and West African words also influenced American English.
Today, American English is the most influential(有影響力的). But there are many other kinds of English around the world, including Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, South African English , Indian English and Caribbean English. They have differences.
1.What can we know from Paragraph 1?
A.The dialect of London became the standard in the year 1604.
B.Vowels were pronounced longer towards the end of Middle English

D.Many new words entered English because many people moved to Britain.
2.From Paragraph 2, we know that the Industrial Revolution __________.
A.required spelling and grammar to be fixed
B.required a greater number of English words
C.caused many old English words to be useless
D.led to the English colonization of North America.
3.The underlined word “froze” in Paragraph 3 shows that some English words in America___________.

C.a(chǎn) little changed
D.stayed as they were
4.What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss?
