Ⅰ.阅读理解 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. 1.The main pronunciation difference between American English and British English lies in ________. A.the sound of “r” at the end of words B.the words with sounds that are gone C.the vowel sounds of some words D.the last sound of many words 2.Which of the following words belongs to the Australian spelling? A.Airplane.　　　　　　 B.Flavor. C.Theater. D.Aluminium. 3.After reading the text, we can learn that ________. A.Australian English has become the most popular English now B.Australian English is more difficult to learn than American English C.Australian English is more difficult to follow than American English D.Australian English 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 between 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 we are chatting with people from different countries. Ⅱ.七选五 Not all great writers are great spellers.If you want to be published，it's vital to submit a perfect，professionally presented manuscript (原稿). __1__ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly. I keep two reference books close­by on my desk：dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典).I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker. __2__ Of course，these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses，but I'm old­fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers.I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus. __3__ It should give you a precise definition of each word，thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar，but not identical.It will also usually show how the word is pronounced. In addition，I have an old two­volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary，picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence.Of course，with its 2，672 pages，it's not exactly short.It contains around 163，000 words，plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases.__4__ However，if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage，there's nothing better. For well over a hundred years，the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755.“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味)work，”wrote Johnson，illustrating one definition of “dull”. __5__ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience. A.I don't often use this dictionary. B.It takes no account of the context. C.But I still don't want to replace them. D.But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read. E.Of course，a dictionary is not only for spelling. F.That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes. G.Dictionaries don't always give you enough information. 表达人物的“悲伤与消沉” 语料积累 1.weep v.哭泣，流泪 2.sob v.啜泣，抽噎 3.yowl v.大哭大叫 4.tear n.[常用复数]眼泪，泪珠 5.sorrow n.悲痛；忧伤 6.desperate adj.绝望的；无望的 7.sadness n.悲伤，忧愁 8.grief n.悲痛 9.a broken spirit意志消沉 10.cry one's heart out悲痛欲绝 11.with a heavy heart怀着沉重的心情 12.tears blurred one's eyes泪眼模糊 13.one's eyes got misty泪眼模糊 14.be close to tears险些落泪 15.tears roll down one's eyes/cheeks/face 泪水落下 语段写作 Ⅰ.完成句子 1.“你赚了多少钱？”爸爸问。 “How much money ____________________？” Dad asked. 2.当我被要求拿出自己的钱交给爸爸时，我差点哭了。 I ________________________ when I was asked to ________________________ and hand it to Dad. 3.我妈妈独自站在墙角落泪，因为没有钱为爸爸买一辆新的家畜货车。 My mother stood in a corner alone ________________________ for lack of money to buy a new livestock truck for Dad.
