We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words having very different meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things. Here are some examples.A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK. A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK. Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US. In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit, while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK isgas in the US. The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，its a gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is called d the ground floor here, so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences, no wonder its hard to understand each other well.4. The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in .A. vocabularyB. grammarC. soundD. spelling5. Its implied in the passage that the author may be .A. a driver from the USB. a cook from the USC. a teacher from the UKD. a gas station worker from the UK6. In the authors opinion， .A. language differences dont affect understandingB. the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellingsC. there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the futureD. it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels7. What can we learn from the passage?A. “Elevator” is commonly used in the UK.B. Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.C. In the UK，things are measured in pounds and ounces.D. British and American people drive on the same side of the road.CNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get intothe heart of the wilderness.”8. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.9. Traveling alone is challenging because .A. it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersB. you can only depend on yourself whatever happensC. you have to make things on your ownD. it will finally build your character10. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A. He started traveling alone at an early age.B. He was once shot in the arm.C. His website inspires others a lot.D. He used to work as a salesman.11. What is the best title for the passage?A. Travel AbroadB. Travel LightC. Travel AloneD. Travel Wide and FarDAt thirteen, I was diagnosed( 诊 断 )with a kind of attention disorder.It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs.Smith,you see,the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are no different from your classmates,young man.” I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom,the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education.But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out andmy pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes.Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next daywith an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”12. The author didnt finish the reading in class becauseA. he was new to the classB. he was tired of literatureC. he had an attention disorderD. he wanted to take the task home13. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A. He had good sight.B. He made a great invention.C. He gave up reading.D. He learned a lot from school.14.

The disabled should be treated with respect.B. A teacher can open up a new world to students.C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.二、阅读七选五（本大题共 5 小题，共 10.0 分）Before there was the written word, there was the language of dance.
