But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I dont know”. However, the British are more careful on their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, the Americans say the “a” in half like the “a” in cat. But the British say the “a” in half like the “o” in soft.Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England they drive lorries.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America you “give them a call”There are also sometimes differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have class today？”But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you class today？”All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is what happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.文章大意：本文介绍了美式英语与英式英语的不同点。21Compared to the British, Americans are usually_B_.Amore careful about saying wordsBless careful about saying wordsCeasier to understandDslower speakers解析：细节判断题。由文章第二段的第二句“Often, Americans dont say each word separately.”可以直接得出答案为B项。22Some letters in English _B_.Aalways sound the sameBhave different sounds in the US and EnglandCdont changeDhave an unusual sound解析：细节判断题。由第三段首句可得出正确答案为B项。23The vocabulary for cars and driving is_B_.Aan example of British EnglishBdifferent in the US and EnglandCan example of modern technologyDthe same in the US and England解析：细节判断题。由文章第四段的最后两句可知。BCanadian EnglishCanadian English is affected by both British and American English. In vocabulary there are a lot of US influences：Canadians use billboard, gas, truck and wrench rather than boarding, petrol, lorry, and spanner; but on the other hand, they agree with the British in saying blinds, braces, porridge, and tap rather than shades, suspenders, oatmeal, and faucet.South African EnglishSince 1994 South Africa has had eleven official languages: English, Afrikaans (having developed from Dutch), Zulu, Xhosa, and other largely regional African languages. English is the first language of only about 10 percent of the population, but the second language of many others. The English of native Afrikaners has influenced the “standard” English of white South Africans, examples being such informal usages as the affirmative(肯定的) “no”， as in “How are you？No, Im fine.” and the allpurpose response “is it”， as in “She has a baby last week, is it？”Indian EnglishTogether with Hindi, English is used across India, but it can also be a speakers first, second, or third language. The grammar of Indian English has many distinguishing features, of which perhaps the best known are the use of the present continuous tense, as in “He is having very much of property”， and the use of “isnt it” as an ordinary question tag, “We are meeting tomorrow, isnt it？” The first example shows another characteristic of the language, which is using “in or of” in idiomatic phrases. Verbs are also used differently, with speakers often dropping a preposition or object altogether, “I insisted immediate payment”， while double possessives(所有格)“our these prices”(instead of the British English “these prices of ours”)are common.文章大意：本文主要说明了三个国家中所使用的英语的特点。24What does the underlined word “distinguishing” mean in Paragraph 3？_A_AdifferentBsameCshortDmissing解析：词义猜测题。第三段所举的例子讲述了印度英语一些不同的用法，因此是指“不同的”。25. According to the passage, which group of words is all in American form？_C_ ABillboard, gas, blinds, braces.BHoarding, petrol, porridge, tap.CTruck, wrench, shades, suspendres.DLorry, spanner, oatmeal, faucet.解析：细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知美式英语中常用billboard, gas, truck, wrench及shades, suspenders, oatmeal, faucet。26.

How many distinguishing features of Indian English grammar are mentioned in the passage？_D_A2.B3.C4.D5.解析：细节理解题。第三段提到了印度英语语法的五种与众不同的用法，分别是现在进行时用法，isnt it普遍用于附加疑问句，习惯搭配中插入in或of等，动词后省去介词及宾语和双重所有格的用法。C(2018全国卷，C)Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.文章大意：最近，语言种类在消失，消失的原因是人类社会的发展。28What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times? _B_A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely co
