Unit 2.1 Starting out & Understanding ideas (Ⅰ)-【创新教程】2025-2026学年高中英语必修第一册五维课堂Word课时作业（外研版2019）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The English spoken in Australia, Great Britain and America has a surprising number of differences. Here are some of the common differences that you will find between 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 between 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 Great 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 or endings. 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. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚英语、英式英语和美式英语的一些不同点。 1．The main pronunciation difference between American English and British English lies in 　________　.
