高中英语Module1BritishandAmericanEnglishSectionⅠIntrodu ction&ReadingPrereading教案含解析外研版必修5083011Module 1 British and American English Although people still talk about different types of English —American English, Australian English, and Indian English —it is interesting to notice how close they are to each other nowadays. Any native speaker reading or listening to another “type” of English will understand almost every word.However, largely because of global communication, cinema, television and especially the Internet, different types of English have influenced each other a lot recently. This is coming in one side — from the US to Britain — and it has changed our daily language so much. Teens and young adults in Britain use American vocabulary that has crossed the Atlantic all the time —things that young speakers like a lot are described as cool or awesome, and, as a way to refuse to do something impossible, we often hear the phrase No way!I was fortunate enough to work on a vocabulary research project, which is called the English Vocabulary Profile. What did we find out? There are some words that are still British or American. British people have biscuits with their cup of tea or coffee, but Americans have cookies. We also have cookies in Britain, but they are a certain type of biscuits, such as chocolate chip cookies, where the original recipe is American. Americans who are wearing pants definitely have their legs covered, but if a British person is dressed only in pants, they are in their underwear!Phrasa l verbs (verbs with two or more words like “take off” or “live up to”) are another area of difference, and there are slightly fewer of them in American English. When British and American speakers, for example, talk of a relationship breaking up, Americans will not use this phrasal verb to mean “finishing a school term” as we do in Britain.Overall, the 10 most common words (the, of, to, and, a, in, that, is, for and I) are the same in both countries, and the vast majority of the 5,000 most common words in the UK are also in the USA's top 5,000.Section_ⅠIntroduction_&_Reading_—_Prereading[原文呈现]Words, words, wordsBritish and American English are different in① many ways.

There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used with a different meaning.有成百上千的不同的词在大西洋彼岸是不被使用的或以不同的意思被使用。
Some of these words are well-known – Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas; the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol.有一些词是非常有名的,美国人在高速公路上驾驶时给车(automobile 汽车)加油加的是gas;而英国人通常来给车加油用的是petrol(汽油)。
As a tourist, you will need to used the underground in London or the subway in New York, or maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi (British) or cab (American).做为一个游客,你在伦敦将会使用underground來指地铁或在纽约使用subway,或许你将会更愿意选择用出租车taxi(英国)或cab(美国)来游览城市。

For other uses of the Present Perfect tense, see the Present Perfect Tense - When To Use. We use for with a period of time, for example: a few days, half an hour, two years. We use since with the time when the action started, for example: last year, June 8, I met you.Each of these present perfect sentences contains a time expression. Each time expression is a length of time (which requires FOR) or a starting time (which requires SINCE).1 Maya has been a professional ________ 1989.2 So far, it has rained ________ five hours.3 I haven't been snowboarding ________ last winter.4 Jo has been a student here ________ March.5 The beaver has been an emblem of Canada ________ many years.6 Cougars have almost disappeared from the Victoria area ________ humans settled here.7 Mary has kept a diary ________ she was ten years old.8 First Nations people in British Columbia have told stories about the eagle ________ hundreds of years.9 The Canadian two-dollar coin (or toonie) has been in circulation ________ 1996.10 They've been married ________ twenty-five years.11 I haven't phoned home______ Christmas.12 We've been here__________ nine o'clock.13 I have worked for International House__________ more than eight years.14 I haven't visited my home town_________ I left school.15 I haven't been to the cinema__________ ages.16 I have studied non-stop_________ 9.15.17 I have had a driving licence_________I was eighteen.18 She hasn't had a day off _________1999.19 Johan has been in England__________more than two weeks now.20 Peter has been my best friend_________ we were nine.■Closing down by deciding if you need for or since with these time expressions.---for/since last weekend---for/since ten seconds---for/since Christmas Eve---for/since a decade---for/since I finished school---for/since a couple of days---for/since my birthday---for/since a long time---for/since ten centuries---for/since the 70s---for/since I was a boy---for/since August---for/since the last month---for/since fifteen years---for/since ten seconds---for/since Christmas Eve---for/since a decade---for/since I finished school---for/since a couple of days---for/since my birthday---for/since a long time---for/since ten centuries---for/since the 70s---for/since I was a boy---for/since August---for/since the last month---for/since fifteen years---for/since the accident---for/since then---for/since we bought this house ---for/since last month---for/since a millennium---for/since I met you。
Section Ⅲ Grammar—复习动词时态(Ⅰ)语法图解探究发现①It doesn't make much of a difference whether a teacher speaks British or American English.②I've already decided to join the theatre group.③Many factors have influenced American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago.④A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a New Yorker.⑤Some experts believe that the two varieties are moving closer together.⑥Since the 1980s, with sa tellite TV and the Internet, it has been possible to listen to British and American English at the flick of a switch.⑦This international dimension suggests that in the future, there are going to be many “Englishes”, not just two main varieties.⑧Users of English will all be able to understand each other — wherever they are.[我的发现](1)①、④句用了一般现在时态。
