2、ur” and writing “centre” as “center”.But since then,the British have become more confident in some of their own spellings.In the 2000s,the UK used an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans use a British one about 10% of the time.There is also no need to worry too much about A

3、merican words,such as “vacation”,“liquor” and “lawmaker” entering British English.There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words and are not likely to change British English too much.The British are still using “mum” rather than “mom” and “petrol” rathe

4、r than “gas”.But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling,a different picture appears.Some of the bigger trends in American English are moving towards a freer use of language.American sentences are on average one word shorter in 2006 than they were in 193

5、1.Americans also use a lot more apostrophes (撇号) in their writing than they used to,which has the effect of turning the two words “do not” into the single “dont”.“The hand of the king” becomes the shorter “The kings hand”.However,in all these ways Brits are changing too and in the same way as Americ

6、ans.Theyre just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem to be leading.So this raises a question,is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use? Perhaps the British would have gone in that direction even if Americ

26、ourandwritingcentreascenter”可知,20世纪60年代的时候英国人开始使用一些美式拼写。2.D推理判断题。作者引用petrol的例子是为了证明前一句话中的说法“theyaremostlyuncommonwordsandarenotlikelytochangeBritishEnglishtoomuch”。3.C推理判断题。由第二段末的“Americansentencesareonaverageonewordshorterin2006thantheywerein1931.”及第三段中的例子可知,美式英语的句子更加简单化。【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。作者教书35年后退休了,但是

27、退休后继续给移民们上英语课,这些来自各个国家的移民成人学生们给作者留下了深刻的印象。他们虽然生活艰辛忙碌,但他们很少缺课,而且上课认真,心地质朴。4.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的第二句可知,学生中有一个男的,故A项错误;根据第三段中的第三句可知,学生们总是让老师很开心,所以C项错误;根据最后一句可知,他们很少旷课,故D项错误;根据第三段中的首句可知,他们都结婚了,有了孩子,在上班。故选B项。5.C推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,Blanca的孩子们主动向作者挥手打招呼并且作者认为他们是值得被尊重的、可爱的。故可推知,Blanca对孩子们的教育很好。6.A词义推测题。根据前面的often-exh

28、austedmother可知,后面的妈妈因为每天工作而经常筋疲力尽地回家,应该是吃力地走在孩子们的后面。故选A项。7.C推理判断题。根据全文内容尤其是首段中的最后一句“Itsbeenajoy!”可知,作者认为这份工作给他带来快乐,还是喜欢这份工作的。故选C项。二、【篇章导读】本文是议论文。文章论述了参加夏令营活动给孩子们带来的好处。1.D根据该段的主题Maketruefriends及下文中的“Everyday,friendshipsarecreated.”可知,夏令营中有趣的活动让大家聚到一起并建立起真挚的友谊。2.A根据上文中的“Learnsocialskills”及“Comingtocam
