It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles (风格): ②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home. ③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating. ④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning! 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案 31. What does the underlined word “contrary” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Opposite. B. Similarity. C. Meaning. D. Same. 32. How does the writer develop Paragraph 2? A. By explaining the facts. B. By using numbers. C. By giving an example. D. By comparing two facts. 33. What do we know about the writer from the last paragraph? A. She has found a new way to learn English. B. She has a long way to go to learn English. C. She wants to start learning English again. D. She plans to study in the US for longer. 34. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④ B. ①/②③/④ C. ①②/③/④ D. ①/②/③④ 35. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Communicatıng Like the British. B. Ways of Making Communication Interesting. C. UK and US: Common Language, Different Styles. D. UK and US: Different Countries, Common Cultures. 【答案】31. A 32. C 33.

It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles (风格): ②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don’t always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say “I almost agree”, don’t think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean “I don’t agree at all”. Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home. ③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, “Excuse me, I’m terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?” But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, “Hey, sorry to bother you. I’m really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?” I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating. ④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning! 根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。 31. What does the underlined word “contrary” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
