A. Read the passage and choose the best answer(根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案)5%
Welcome to Words and Their Stories.Today we talk about the cake.It's a kind
of dessert made from flour,butter and icing sugar(糖霜).
The cake is a commonly served sweet treat at celebrations.And the word also appears in several English idioms(习语).We've learned the idiom“to have one's cake and eat it,too”,which means“you don't have to choose between two good things” .
And“sell like hot cakes”means “sell quickly or in great numbers”.Another expression is“a piece of cake”and it describes something that is very easy to do.
Most cakes are made up of two parts:the parts made from flour and icing. However,a cake without the sweet icing on top is already great.After all,it's made
with lots of butter and sugar.So the icing is not really necessary.But it makes the cake extra special.That is the meaning of the idiom“the icing on the cake” . Something already good becomes better because of the addition(添加物)of something
else.
Let's hear an example.Amy is in her new school and she loves her new teachers.

So having her best friend as her classmate is the icing on the cake.
We probably should not eat much cake because it has much butter and sugar.But it tastes so good!And sometimes having something delicious is better.That's all the time we have for this Words and Their Stories.Thanks for listening!I'm Anna!
( )65.Which idiom can be used to describe the fact that a student good at English wants to get an A grade?
A.A piece of cake B.Sell like hot cakes.
C.The icing on the cake. D.To have his cake and eat it,too.
( )66.Why does Anna give the example of Amy?
A.To tell us the importance of good friends.
B.To show us how much Amy likes her new school.
C.To advise us to get on well with our new classmates. D.To help us better understand“the icing on the cake” .
( )67.What does Anna probably think of the cake?
A.Unhealthy but tasty. B.Tasty but expensive.
C.Unhealthy and expensive. D.Expensive and unpopular.

A.a news report B.a cake show

Later that day,the students began to study in groups(小组).A student in Sara's group asked her,“Where are you from?”Sara answered that she was from 71 Tina and Bella were sitting only a few feet away.Both of them heard Sara's answer.

After we were on holiday in Scotland,we wanted to travel to London.So my
friend p 76 to see me off.He gave my uncle and me a ride to the train station.
Then I started to b 77 tickets to London.As native speakers of English,we didn't
expect to have problems in England.
“Two tickets to London,please,”I said to the ticket seller. “Single?”the ticket seller asked me politely.
I thought that there was something wrong with her e 78 and I said again,
“Two tickets to London!”
At that moment a man helped me.He said that“a single ticket”in B 79 English doesn't mean“one ticket”.It means“a one-way ticket” .
My experience in England taught me that there are some d 80 between British English and American English.For example,the British say“He's in hospital”, b 81
Americans say“He's in the hospital”.Americans write words like color without the “u”of the English“colour” .

D.Read the passage and answer the questions(阅读短文,回答问题)5%
American and British people both speak English,but sometimes it doesn't seem like the same language.
First of all,they sound very different.Often,Americans don't say all the letters in each word,especially consonants like“t”and“d”.For example,Americans may say“I dun no”instead of“I don't know”.However,the British usually pronounce their consonants more carefully.
Also,some letters have different sounds.For example,Americans say the“a”in “half”like the“a”in“cat”,but the British say the“a”in“half”like the“a”in“aah”。
The sound is not the only difference between British English and American English.The two languages have different words for some of the same things.For example,the words for clothing are different.Americans use the word“sweater”,but
(

the British say "jumper".
Many other words and expressions are different in the two countries.In England, if you are going to telephone a friend,you“ring him or her up”.In America,you“give
him or her a call”.The British use the word“lovely”to describe something they like. Americans use the word“cool”or"great".
There are also some differences in grammar.For example,Americans almost always use the helping verb“do”with the verb“have”.They might say “Do you have
an extra pen?”The British often ask the question in a different way,They might say “Have you got an extra pen?”
These differences can be confusing if you are learning English.But there is a reason for the differences.Languages change over time.When the same language is used in different places,it changes differently in each place.This is what happened to English.It also happened to other languages,such as French.Many people in Canada speak French,but their French is different from the French spoken in France.
82. Do Americans say all the letters in each word?
83.Who use the word“sweater”instead of “jumper”,Americans or the British?
