I.阅读理解
The English spoken in Australia,Britain and America has a surprising number of differ-
ences.Here are some of the common differences that you will find among these three kinds of
English.
Pronunciation among the three types of English can be different.In American English,the
"r"at the end of a word almost always affects its pronunciation,while in Australian and British
English,the"r"is often silent.Australian English is unique due to the fact that many words have
sounds that are gone.Instead of saying“good day”,Australian speakers say“g'day”.The main
pronunciation difference among the three,however,is the pronunciation of the vowel (
sounds.
Not only do the three types of English sound different,but they are also spelled differently.
In some ways,the spelling shows the difference in pronunciation.For example,Americans use the
word“airplane'”.In Britain,the word is“aeroplane”,and it is pronounced with an“o”sound.
Another example is the word“aluminium”,which is the UK spelling,and“aluminum”is the US
spelling.Can you find the difference?In this example,the Australian spelling is the same as the
UK spelling.
Another common spelling difference between British English and American English is the
use of-our or-or at the end of a word.For example,in the UK,colour,flavour,honour are words
that all end with-our.In America,they are spelled with the-or ending.In Australia,the-our spell-
ing is almost universal.
Also,the endings-re and-er are different between different English dialects.In America,you
will go to the theater or fitness center,while in Britain you will visit the theatre or fitness centre.
Again,Australian English follows the British way.
1.What does the main pronunciation difference between American English and British English lie in?
A.The last sound of a word.
B.The words with sounds that are gone.
C.The vowel sounds of some words.
D.The sound of“r”at the end of a word..

B.It is more difficult to learn than American English.
C.It follows the American way more than the British way.

4.What's the author's purpose in writing this text?
A.To show that English has developed differently in different countries.

Ⅱ.七选五
Which is much more significant to you when you are finding a job?Working experience or
an advanced-degree?Well,I believe diverse people have different answers.1 Here are fol-
lowing reasons:
Above of all,most of jobs don't require such a high degree,which means just some few jobs,
such as,theoretical physics,archaeology,or literature,need high academic qualification.2 For
example,when you are offering a department manager post,there is a man who has already been
a manager for three years but only have a master's degree and a no-experienced person with
doctor's degree,which one would you choose?Definitely the first one for the manager don't
acquire a doctor's degree but rich working experience.
3 For instance,Bill Gates,who was the richest man in the world and also one of the most
successful merchants.What a wise choice when he decided to abandon studying so that he could
gain more working experience instead of a doctor's degree.Or Steve Paul Jobs,who discontinued
his study at his age of nineteen in order to become a personnel of a computer company just like
Bill Gates.4
5 Maybe you shouldn't have to gain an advanced or highest degree,but that doesn't
mean nothing.Probably a bachelor's degree is still necessary in this fierce-competition society.
All in all,I think rich working experience is much more important than the advanced-degree.
A.However,a degree is still required for most people.
B.Meanwhile,rich working experience will draw more attention.
C.Secondly,plenty of experience will bring you success much earlier.
D.In my view,either working experience or advanced-degree counts.
E.As for me,I will say working experience without hesitation.
F.As a matter of fact,more people with rich working experience become successful.
G.From all of these,we can see that advanced-degree isn't so necessary as working experience.
