Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2024·汕头高一检测)The English spoken in Australia, Britain and America has a surprising number of differences.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(元音) 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” spelling 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.
2.Which of the following words belongs to the Australian spelling?
A.Airplane. B.Flavor.
C.Theater. D.Aluminium.
3.What can we know about Australian English?
A.It has become the most popular English now.
B.It is more difficult to learn than American English.
C.It follows the American way more than the British way.
D.It follows the British way more than the American way.
4.What's the author's purpose in writing this text?
A.To show that English has developed differently in different countries.
B.To tell the differences among American, British and Australian English.
C.To encourage us to explore the differences of English used in different countries.
D.To suggest we speak different English when chatting with people from different countries.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了人们学习外语的目的和方法,无论学得快还是慢,语言学习都是一项艰苦的工作。
1.B [解析]句意:你有没有见过这样的广告:在六周内学会一门外语,否则就把钱退给你?so所以;or否则; and和;but但是。根据上文的祈使句Learn a foreign language in six weeks和下文的give your money back可知,这是广告中的承诺,承诺让你在六周内学会一门外语,否则就把钱退给你。故选B。
2.C [解析]句意:当然,事情从来没有像这样发生过。can't不能;impossible不可能的; never从不;often经常。根据谓语动词happens可知,空处不能用can't,也不能用形容词impossible;根据句中的of course可知,作者是说从来不会发生广告中说的退钱这种事。故选C。
3.D [解析]句意:唯一容易学的语言是母语。easily容易地;difficult困难的; able能够;easy容易的。分析句子可知,空后的“ __3__ to learn”是后置定语,修饰前面的名词language,所以空处应该用形容词;再由下文的mother language可知,此处说的是容易学的语言。故选D。
4.A [解析]句意:想想这需要多少练习。how much多少;how long多长时间; how fast多快;how many多少。根据空后的不可数名词practice可知,应该用how much修饰不可数名词。故选A。
5.B [解析]句意:第二次世界大战以前,人们学习一门外语通常是为了研究这个国家的文学。分析句子可知,空处应该填不定式形式,作目的状语。故选B。
6.C [解析]句意:现在大多数人都想说一门外语。talk谈话;tell告诉; speak讲(某种语言);say说。根据空后的a foreign language可知,说某种语言应该用动词speak。故选C。
7.D [解析]句意:每年都有数百万人开始学习外语。what什么;this这个; that那个;it它。分析句子可知,空处应该填一个代词,指代上一句中的a foreign language,所以应该用it。故选D。
8.B [解析]句意:有些人在家看书和听磁带,有些人去上夜校或看电视节目。without没有;with用 (某种工具、物品或材料); in在……内;by通过(表示方式)。根据句中的try at home和books and tapes可知,此处是说一些人在家里使用书或磁带学习外语。故选B。
9.A [解析]句意:如果他们每周只使用这门语言两三次,学习它将需要很长时间,就像在学校学习语言一样。if如果;when何时; since自……以后;until直到……为止。根据句意和句中的use the language only 2 or 3 times a week以及“learning it will __10__ a long time”可知,空处所在的句子和下文是条件关系,所以空处应该用连词if。故选A。
10.C [解析]句意见上题解析。spend花费;use使用; take需要……时间;cost需支付。根据句子的主语learning it和空后的a long time,此处应该用take表示“需要……时间”,spend的主语必须是人。故选C。
11.B [解析]句意:一些人试图通过每天学习6个小时或更长时间来快速学习一门语言。some一些;more更多;other其他的;less更少。根据句中的A few people try to learn a language fast可知,一些人肯定是想通过每天学习6个小时或更长时间来快速学习一门语言。故选B。
12.D [解析]句意:在讲这种语言的国家学习这种语言要容易得多。根据句意可知,此处表示说这门语言。故选D。
13.C [解析]句意:但是大多数人做不到,也有很多人不需要这样做。able能够的;possible可能的; unable无法;not possible不可能。根据句中的转折连词but和下文的and many people don't have to do so可知,大多数人做不到(在使用这种语言的国家学习这种语言),所以应该用形容词unable;不能用not possible(possible的主语不能是人)。故选C。
14.D [解析]句意:好书会很有帮助,但是它代替不了学生的努力。careful小心的;forgetful健忘的; wonderful好极了;helpful有帮助的。根据句中的good books可知,好的书籍对学习语言肯定是有帮助的。故选D。
15.B [解析]句意:无论学得快还是慢,语言学习都是一项艰苦的工作。either(两者中的)任何一个;whether不管……(还是);what什么;how如何。根据句中的or可知,此处应该用连词whether,表示无论下文中的哪一种情况,语言学习都是一项艰苦的工作。故选B。
