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 Brits feel about American English. But are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
高一英语 第 3 页 共 12 页
The most obvious difference between American and British English is vocabulary. There are hundreds of everyday words that are different. For example, Americans go on vacation while Brits go on holidays; 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 Brits 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; Brits 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, most Brits 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 others’ accents.
21．Which of the following is a group of American words?
A. Vacation; apartment. B. Vacation; holiday.
C. Apartment; flat. D. Holiday; flat.
22．What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?
A. Their differences have little effect on communication.
B. They connect people of the two countries.
C. They are affecting people using them.
D. They both have some strange words.
23．What can be the best title for the text?
高一英语 第 4 页 共 12 页
A. Difficulty for Brits and Americans to understand each other.
B. Ways to tell British English from American English.
C. Differences between British and American English.
D. Development of British and American English.

Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught
hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C..
And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that
shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.
“It’s very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs
(monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”
But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you
can if you’re an animal.
“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “That’s part
of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”
Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking
stopped.
So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the
quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves——a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.
Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo’s
giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals
高一英语 第 5 页 共 12 页
seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,” Smith said.
24. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?
A. Because an earthquake had happened.
B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.
C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.
D. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.
25. According to Brandie Smith,_____________.
A. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake.
B. primates usually gather together before a quake.
C. earthquakes produce two types of waves.
D. many animals hearing is sharp.
26. Which animal seems unable to sense quake?
A. A lemur. B. A flamingo. C. A giant panda. D. A lizard.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How animals protect their young in a quake
B. How animals behave before a quake
C. How animals differ from humans
D. How animals survive a quake

Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more
health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more healthily and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.
Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with
how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so-called“plastic" fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients in a quiet restaurant with a more comfortable atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.
While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for
Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological
(心理的) addiction. They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body
高一英语 第 6 页 共 12 页
weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.
The current wave of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing articles and so on to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to“diet addiction”.
28. These days people are dieting more because______.
A. They eat more healthily. B. They are getting fatter and fatter.
C. They realize the danger of junk food. D. They have become more health-conscious.
29. Which way of eating is strongly advised in the passage?
A. Enjoying food with phones on. B. Eating in a relaxed atmosphere.
C. Avoiding a salad or a sandwich. D. Finishing dinner in a short time.
30. In the third paragraph “they look like skeletons” most probably means ___________.
A. They are too thin. B. They are very ugly.
C. They are very pretty. D. They are starving.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. What kind of media can be used to educate the public.
B. Where people with dieting addiction can go for help.
C. How the organizations try to help people with dieting addiction.
D. What causes the organizations to educate the public D
Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, Texas, in 1892. Her mother was African American. Her
father was part African American and part American Indian. Her family was poor. Bessie had to walk more than six kilometers to go to school.
Bessie had to pick cotton and wash clothes to help earn money for her family. She was able
to save a little money and went to college in the state of Oklahoma. She was in college only one year because she did not have enough money to complete her studies. But during that year, she learned about flying. She read about the first flight of the Wright brothers and the first American female pilot Harriet Quimby.
When she was 23, Bessie Coleman moved to Chicago, Illinois to live with two of her older
高一英语 第 7 页 共 12 页
brothers. There, she heard stories from pilots who were returning from World War I. She decided she was going to learn how to fly airplanes. But she soon found this to be almost impossible. What flight school would admit a black woman? Bessie learned that she would have a better chance in Europe. She began to study French at a language school in Chicago.
Soon after the end of World War I, Bessie Coleman left for France. She attended the famous
flight school, Ecole d'Aviation des Freres Caudron. She completed seven months of flight training. Coleman earned her international permit to fly in 1921 and she became the first black woman pilot.
Coleman returned to Chicago. She was the only black female pilot in the United States. So
her story became popular in African American newspapers. She was asked by the Dallas Express newspaper in Texas why she wanted to fly. She said that women and blacks must have pilots if they were to keep up with the times.
32. Bessie Coleman walked to school every day probably because .
A. she wanted to do physical exercise.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 36 . Some ways of dealing with stress
- like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted
adult such as “parent or other relatives.” 37 . They might have had similar problems,
such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you.
Don't take it out on yourself. 38 .
Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's
time to get down to business. 39 . Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece
of it.
Be positive. Most stress is temporary. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work.
And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel
better even faster. 40 .
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.
C. Different people feel stress in different ways.
D. You need to figure out what the problem is.
E. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.
F. And don't forget about your friends.
G. Then, find a way to calm down.

Years ago, I just graduated from school and worked in Denver. One day, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.
I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I sent him and his wife a thank-you note with some cash for helping me. Soon afterward, I
received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned
to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.

I entered the shop, and one of the salesmen, who was white-haired, came to me.___________ _______________________________________________________________________________

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, most Brits 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 others’ accents.
21．Which of the following is a group of American words?
A. Vacation; apartment. B. Vacation; holiday.
C. Apartment; flat. D. Holiday; flat.
22．What do we know about British and American English from the last paragraph?

C. They are affecting people using them.
D. They both have some strange words.

Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught
hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C..
And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that
shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.
“It’s very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs
(monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”
But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you
can if you’re an animal.
“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “That’s part
of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”
Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking
stopped.
So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the
quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves——a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.
Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo’s
giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals

seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,” Smith said.
24. Why did Mandara act strangely one day?
A. Because an earthquake had happened.
B. Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.
C. Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.
D. Because it sensed something unusual would happen.
25. According to Brandie Smith,_____________.
A. humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake.
B. primates usually gather together before a quake.
C. earthquakes produce two types of waves.
D. many animals hearing is sharp.
26. Which animal seems unable to sense quake?
A. A lemur. B. A flamingo. C. A giant panda. D. A lizard.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How animals protect their young in a quake
B. How animals behave before a quake
C. How animals differ from humans
D. How animals survive a quake

Dieting to lose weight has become very popular in recent years. People have become more
health conscious and try to take better care of their bodies by eating more healthily and exercising more regularly to lose any unnecessary fat that they may have.
Not only are people being more careful about what they eat, they are also concerned with
how they eat and how their meals are prepared. People are taking more time for each meal. Many avoid the so-called“plastic" fast-food hamburgers and choose to eat a salad or a sandwich of more healthful ingredients in a quiet restaurant with a more comfortable atmosphere. At home, they also try to take enough time to eat a relaxed dinner without phone or TV interruptions.
While dieting may be viewed as beneficial, it has also become a serious problem for
Americans, particularly for young women. Dieting for them has actually become a psychological
(心理的) addiction. They eat so little that they can lose as much as fifty percent of their total body

weight, and although they look like skeletons, they still insist that they are fat.
The current wave of exercising, dieting and the problems produced have caused many organizations to begin educating the public. Many schools, hospitals, health organizations, newspapers and magazines, for example, are offering classes, printing articles and so on to inform the public of the way to exercise and diet of the dangers of dieting too rapidly, and of the places people can go for medical help if they find themselves on the road to“diet addiction”.
28. These days people are dieting more because______.
A. They eat more healthily. B. They are getting fatter and fatter.
C. They realize the danger of junk food. D. They have become more health-conscious.
29. Which way of eating is strongly advised in the passage?
A. Enjoying food with phones on. B. Eating in a relaxed atmosphere.
C. Avoiding a salad or a sandwich. D. Finishing dinner in a short time.
30. In the third paragraph “they look like skeletons” most probably means ___________.
A. They are too thin. B. They are very ugly.
C. They are very pretty. D. They are starving.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. What kind of media can be used to educate the public.
B. Where people with dieting addiction can go for help.
C. How the organizations try to help people with dieting addiction.
D. What causes the organizations to educate the public D
Bessie Coleman was born in Atlanta, Texas, in 1892. Her mother was African American. Her
father was part African American and part American Indian. Her family was poor. Bessie had to walk more than six kilometers to go to school.
Bessie had to pick cotton and wash clothes to help earn money for her family. She was able
to save a little money and went to college in the state of Oklahoma. She was in college only one year because she did not have enough money to complete her studies. But during that year, she learned about flying. She read about the first flight of the Wright brothers and the first American female pilot Harriet Quimby.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 36 . Some ways of dealing with stress
- like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:
Get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to trusted
adult such as “parent or other relatives.” 37 . They might have had similar problems,
such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.
Don't take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you.
Don't take it out on yourself. 38 .
Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's
time to get down to business. 39 . Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece
of it.
Be positive. Most stress is temporary. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work.
And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel
better even faster. 40 .
A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.
B. Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them.

Years ago, I just graduated from school and worked in Denver. One day, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station (加油站) about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.
I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s .We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I sent him and his wife a thank-you note with some cash for helping me. Soon afterward, I
received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned
to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership-a shop selling cars-was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
Paragraph 1:
I entered the shop, and one of the salesmen, who was white-haired, came to me.___________ _______________________________________________________________________________
