(2026·安徽安庆、桐城高一上月考)
There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” No one knows exactly who said this,but it reflects the way many British feel about American English.But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary.For example,Americans go on vacation while British go on holiday;New Yorkers live in apartments while Londoners live in flats.There are far more examples than we can talk about here.Fortunately,most Americans and British can usually guess the meaning through the context of a sentence.
Past Tense Verbs
You’ll also find some differences with past forms of irregular verbs.The past tense of “learn” in American English is “learned”.British English has the option(选择) of “learned” or “learnt”.The same rule applies to “dreamed” and “dreamt”,“burned” and “burnt”,and “leaned” and “leant”.Americans tend to use the -ed ending;British tend to use the -t ending.
Spelling
There are hundreds of slight spelling differences between British and American English.Noah Webster,an author,politician and teacher,made an effort to reform English spelling in the late 1700s.Webster wanted to spell words the way they sounded.You can see Webster’s legacy(遗产) in the American spelling of words like color (from colour),honor (from honour),and labor (from labour).
Not So Different After All
British and American English have far more similarities than differences.With the exception of some regional dialects(方言),most British and Americans can understand each other without too much difficulty.They watch each other’s TV shows,sing each other’s songs and read each other’s books.They even make fun of each other’s accents.
1.Which of the following is a group of American words?
A.Vacation;holiday.
B.Apartment;flat.
C.Vacation;apartment.
D.Holiday;flat.
2.What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?
A.They both have some strange words.
B.They are affecting people using them.
C.They connect people of the two countries.
D.Their differences have little effect on communication.
3.Where is the text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A magazine.
C.A guidebook. D.A novel.

Growing up,I was scared of being the center of attention.As the quiet daughter of a military family that moved every two years,I struggled to make friends across three different countries.My accent shifted awkwardly between British and American English,making classroom readings a nightmare.Determined to break free from my shell,I joined my high school drama club—a decision that terrified me more than moving to a new neighborhood.
The first month felt impossible.While others memorized lines effortlessly,I stumbled over self-introduction,my palms sweating under the stage lights. Our director’s improvisation(即兴) exercises were the worst.She’d shout unexpected plots like “You’re an astronaut discovering aliens!”,giving us ten seconds to react.My mind would blank with a lump in my throat.
Yet week after week,something changed.The supportive laughter of my peers replaced my fear of embarrassment.By junior year,I landed a supporting role in our town,delivering lines without trembling.The real breakthrough came during a snowstorm performance when our lead actor fell ill.With only an hour’s notice,I stepped into the role and remembered every line.
This courage spilled into other areas.I began leading history class discussions and volunteered as a tour guide for exchange students.At university,I joined a debate club,using my drama-trained voice to argue environmental policies.Last month,I even hosted a charity auction(拍卖) for 50 guests—something my 15-year-old self would consider unimaginable.
Do I still get nervous?Absolutely.But I’ve learned that imperfection connects us.When I mispronounced during the auction,the crowd chuckled warmly,not cruelly.Now I view each stumble not as failure,but proof that I’m daring to speak up.
4.What made the author uncomfortable during classroom activities?
A.She frequently moved house.
B.She met language confusion.
C.She hated reading class.
D.She lacked team spirits.
5.What does the underlined phrase “stumbled over” in the second paragraph mean?
A.Fell over suddenly.
B.Spoke out freely.
C.Repeated words constantly.
D.Kept in mind easily.
6.How did drama club participation affect the author’s later life?
A.It affected her academic performance.
B.It developed her painting skills.
C.It caused serious performance anxiety.
D.It increased her social confidence.
7.What does the auction incident show about the author’s growth?
A.She avoids challenging events.
B.She focuses on others’ faults.
C.She accepts human imperfection.
D.She prioritizes financial success.

Maybe one day,scientists will invent a way for us to download dictionaries straight into our brains.Until then:here are three vocabulary-building tips for those learning English.
1 A very important point of learning words is to learn in context(语境)! 2 For example,when taking journeys by train or bus,many native English speakers,in practice,use the verb “catch”.It is common to hear sentences like this one:I catch the bus at 7:30 every weekday.If you learned the verb “catch” as a single word,you might describe it as “receive and hold”.This definition(定义) is correct!But learning this and nothing else would make such a common sentence sound strange to you.
Look up new words.If you keep hearing a word and aren’t sure what it means,try to look it up as soon as you can.We asked an expert,Bob the Canadian:what is the best way to look up new words?Bob said,“ 3 My second choice would be to use an English-to-your-native-language dictionary.” According to Bob,“Your native language can be your enemy when learning a new language.” 4
Keep a notebook handy.Every time you are exposed to English you will come across new words that you don’t understand.Each time you notice a new word,it’s a great opportunity! 5 This is an effective study method because each one of your notebook words has something to do with your own memory,giving you a more significant reason to remember them.
A.Try learning example sentences.
B.Don’t take dictionary meaning seriously.
C.Sometimes words are used completely differently in practice.
D.My preferred way is to look up the word in an English dictionary.
E.So sometimes if you can keep it at a distance,you will learn faster.
F.Perhaps you think putting something down on paper takes much time.
G.Get a notebook and write down each new word that you think is interesting.
