AWhen I was growing up in the 1930s, the period of the Great Depression, I didn't think of our family as poor, even though we never seemed to have money. I lived on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my parents, two elder sisters, and a younger brother. We had an old horse, a cow, a few pigs, some chickens, and a big garden. Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Momma's homemade bread.As a boy of nine, I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what it meant to live during hard times. The weekly newspaper would carry pictures of people standing in line for bread, and the evening broadcast would tell about the huge number of jobless people and their hardships. But these reports referred to people in the cities, and we lived in the country. We never went to bed hungry, and we didn't stand in line for bread.Although my father was fortunate to have a job at the feed mill (饲料加工厂), eighteen dollars a week was only enough to pay the electric bill and to buy necessities. Momma earned a few dollars baking pies and bread.To make nightclothes, Momma used the cotton bags in which the food for our chickens came. It wasn't until years later when my high-school class went on an overnight trip that I got my first store-bought nightwear.When a piece of clothing was worn out, it wasn't thrown away. First,all the buttons were removed, grouped by size and colour, and put in cans or glass jars. Then the clothing was examined, and the best parts were saved for making rugs (地毯). Almost nothing in our house was thrown away.Although we tend to think of recycling as something fairly new, in the 1930s it was par t of everyday life. “Waste not, want not” was a familiar and often repeated phrase during those Depression years.语篇解读本文是记叙文。

The scientists think a large earthquake and flooding probably destroyed the ancient settlement where they were discovered.Unlike modern Chinese noodles and Italian pasta (意大利面食) that are made mostly of wheat, the 4,000-year-old variety consisted of millet（黍）which is native to China.Wheat was not introduced from central and western Asia to northwestern China until about 5,000 years ago. “Archaeological evidence suggests that even though wheat was present in northwestern China 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, it was not commonly grown until much later,” Lu said.36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. World’s earliest noodles found in ChinaB. The origin o f Chinese noodlesC. The difference between Chinese noodles and Italian noodlesD. The history of Chinese noodles37. Until the discovery, it was generally believed that ____.A. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in ChinaB. the world’s oldest kno wn noodles were made in ItalyC. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the Middle EastD. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the East Han Dynasty38. According to the discovery, noodles were first made in China ____.A. 5,000 years agoB. between 25 and 220C. around 2,000 BCD. during the Middle Ages39. Which can be used as the evidence that world’s oldest noodles came from China?A. Chinese noodles are made mostly of wheat.B. Italian pasta is made mostly of millet.C. The unearthed noodles were made of millet which is native to China.D. Wheat was not commonly grown in China until about 5,000 years ago.40. We might see this passage in ____.A. an essayB. an advertisementC. a newspaperD. a magazineBCharlotte Thun-Hohenstein, 17, says that she is not yet ready to decide whether to choose a science or an arts subject when she goes to university.She is taking A levels in chemistry, maths, Latin and history, and would love to continue studying as many of them as possible at degree level.Charlotte, who attends St Paul’s Girls’School in Hammersmith, West London, is applying only to universities in the United States because they offer a broader curriculum (课程) and do notforce students to specialise until after the first year. She has applied to seven American universities, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown.She said: “I want to go to the US because I don’t know what to study. I enjoy both arts and sciences. The US is much broader. They encourage you to take many courses and you end up choosing a major. In the first year you explore what interests you.”“I’m not applying to any British universities. I want to go to the US because of the breadth of study and also the extracurricular（课外的）life.”“I love singing, music in general, and community service. My friend and I have set up a choir at a local primary school, and we lead discussions on moral issues and organize creative activities for the lower school. I play the piano in a swing band and sing in school productions.”“I think there is more on offer in the US and the opportunities are more diverse.”“There is still a huge difference in the US and British fees, but I’m very lucky I don’t have to worry about that. The US universities do have incredibly extensive financial support for those who need it.”“I hope that there’s a strong international community wherever I end up studying.”41. In the passage, Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein mainly talks about ____.A. her puzzle in choosing subjects at collegeB. why she chooses to study in an American universityC. the difference between British and American educationD. her favorite subjects at middle school42. In Britain, university students ____.A. have to choose a specialized subject in the first yearB. are allowed to choose any subject they likeC. can choose their favorite subject in the second yearD. are only allowed to study a certain subject all through the college years43. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein wants to study in an American university mainly because ____.A. she wants to learn more advanced technologyB. she can get extensive financial supportC. she can find her real interest in the first yearD. she can meet more international students44. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein has to ____ if she wants to study in an American university.A. pay higher feesB. do more community serviceC. drop some of her interestsD. adapt herself to a diverse life45. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein _____.A. has strong ambitionB. has no idea of her ownC. has unrealistic expectationD. has broad interestsCPresident Bush may talk about a mission (使命) to Mars, but Bruce Jones is betting there is still a healthy thirst for exploration into underwater worlds on our own planet.Jones, who has spent 17 years designing and selling submarines (潜水艇) for private use, has $40 million invested to build a luxurious (奢侈的) hotel.Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge—the only undersea hotel now in existence—guests at the Poseidon won’t need to put on a wet suit and dive to their rooms. They also won’t need to worry about changing pressure levels since the hotel will be maintained at above-surface pressure.Instead, they can go to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by lift.“I thin k there are a great number of people who would be interested,” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”It sounds impressive, but will it happen? It’s hard to say, considering Jones’ project is only one of the latest great ideas to expand real estate under the sea.His company features luxurious submarines ranging in price from $1 million to $80 million. Having been in the business for a while, Jones claims he has a realistic sense of what it takes to start an underwater business project. As he says, when it comes to meeting regulations for his submarine fleet, “The paperwork ends up weighing as much as the submarine.”For his part, Craig Cooper, the operations director for the Aquarius research station, hopes at least one of the latest project proposals comes to fruition. “By now I envisioned we’d have entire underwater cities. It’s about time some of these visions (想像) became reality,” Cooper said.46. Why does the writer mention President Bush in the first paragraph?A. It was he who first suggested the underwater exploration.B. The writer stressed the exploration into underwater worlds can win support from Bush.C. The president’s talk is to bring in the story of the underwater hotel.D. The writer wants to compare missions to Mars with underwater hotels.47. This passage is mainly about ____.A. the plan to build a luxurious hotel under the seaB. Jones’ plan to build underwater citiesC. the conditions of the luxurious hotelD. the greatest underwater project in history48. Which of the following statements about Jones’ underwater hotel is NOT mentioned?A. The pressure will be kept in the hotel as high as that on the ground.B. The hotel will be equipped with lift so that guests need no wet suits.C. Every room will cost guests at least $ 1,500 per night.D. Jones’ underwater hotel will be as expensive as the Jules Lodge.49. The underlined word “envisioned” in the last paragraph means “____”.A. supposedB. dreamedC. predictedD. wished50. From the passage we can see ____.A. the hotel has already been in useB. the hotel will be the largest oneC. it is easy to build the underwater hotelD. Jones is optimistic about the hotelDCalifornia ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake (响尾蛇) skin and spread it on their fur to mask their scent (气味) from snakes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.Barbara Clucas, a graduate student in animal behavior at UC Davis, observed ground squirrels and rock squirrels applying snake scent to themselves by picking up pieces of shed (被脱下的) snakeskin, chewing it and then licking their fur.Adult female squirrels and juveniles (少年) apply snake scent more often than adult males, which are less likely to be attacked by snakes, Clucas said. The scent probably helps to mask the squirrel’s own scent, especially when the animals are asleep in their burrows（洞穴）at night, or to persuade a snake that another snake is in the burrow.The squirrels are not limited to the use of shed snake skins, said Donald Owings, a professor of psychology at UC Davis who is Clucas’ adviser and an author on the paper. They also pick up snake scent from soil and other surfaces on which snakes have been resting, and use that to apply scent.Snake-scent application is one of a remarkable package of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes, Owings said. In earlier work, Owings’ lab has found that squirrels can heat up their tails to send a warning signal to rattlesnakes, which can “see” in the infrared rays（红外线）and judge how dangerous a particular snake is, based on the sound of its rattle. In addition, work by Owings’colleague, psychology professor Richard Coss, has shown that these squirrels have developed resistance to snake venom（毒液）.“It’s a nice example of the opportunism of animals,” Owings said. “They’re turning the tables on the snake.”51. The two kinds of California squirrels mentioned in the passage apply snake scent to ____.A. make themselves poisonous to snakesB. frighten snakes awayC. develop resistance to snake venomD. cover up their own smell52. Adult female squirrels and juveniles apply snake scent more often because ____.A. they are more likely to be caught and eaten by snakesB. they have a stronger body smell themselvesC. they spend more time sleeping in their burrowsD. they are can be seen more easily by snakes53. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Other findings on squirrels by Owings’ colleague.B. Other means of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes.C. The most effective defense squirrels use against rattlesnakes.D. Examples of the opportunism of animals.54. According to Owings, squirrels heat up their tails to ____.A. cheat a snakeB. send off infrared raysC. warn the snakeD. give other squirrels warning signals55. The passage implies that a snake traces squirrels mainly by their ____.A. heatB. scentC. figuresD. shadows第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分25分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever marketing or competition pressure, so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing for Christmas.Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their children’s Christmas, it’s quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out before __________. This leads parents to go to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift.In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the TV series Thunderbirds, and Buzz Lightyear, from t he film Toy Story. These years’ must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication that British children are becoming more and more technologically knowledgeable. Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related toTV programmes, such as popular science-fiction series Doctor Who, and pre-school sensation In the Night Garden, as well as the main character from the movie Transformers.As parents desperately (不顾一切地) search shops and online retailers for the gifts their children want, some people are making money from it. Those who predicted the trends (趋势) bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits on online auction (拍卖) websites.Special websites have been set up to inform parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. But with so many people signing up it’ll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they are sold out again.Some children will unavoidably be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let’s hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.76. What’s the best title for the passage? (within 10 words)77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?As a result, parents will try their best to get what their child want for Christmas.78. Please fill the blank in Para. 2 with proper words or phrases. (within 10 words)79. For what reason will some children be disappointed on Christmas morning? (within 10 words)80. Please translate the underlined sentence in Para.6 into Chinese.第二节写作（满分15分）【写作要求】众所周知，树林一直都是人类生存的朋友和依靠。

AEvery Australian Should SwimSwimming Australia is a strong advocate (主张者) of the importance of learning to swim.

The DVD emphasizes how learning to swim is just the beginning of what can develop into a lifelong love of swimming.Launched in 1997 by the Federal Minister for Sport and Recreation, Swimming Australia's mission is to develop “learn to swim” in Aust ralia to its full potential, resulting in all Australians learning to swim and gaining water safety knowledge through safe and enjoyable swimming lessons.For more information, including Course Enrolment details, visit Swim Australia's website.1.

That year I was six. In class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects. I don't have much memory for the first year of English learning. The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the new wo rds that I learned that year was “earth”. “The earth orbits the sun，” he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”，he would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of text books.I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.Following was one year of high school life: a_different_school,_the_same_story.Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America.I attended a couple years of high school, and now I'm in college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm stillusing basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.4. In Grade One, the author admired that classmate because he ________.A. could speak two languagesB. had a very wide vocabularyC. often led the whole class to readD. knew about the earth and the sun5. How did the author most probably feel during the first English class in junior high school?A. Moved.B. Interested.C. Disappointed.D. Relaxed.6. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means in senior high school the author ________.A. didn't live a very difficult lifeB. liked her new school very muchC. learned English in a different wayD. had to learn simple English all over again7. What do we learn about the author now?A. She is looked down upon by others.B. She still isn't very fluent in English.C. She has no chance to speak Chinese now.D. She likes practicing English through telling long stories.CLearning Greek mythology is part of having a well­rounded education. Many great works of literature refer back to Greek mythology, and there is no way to properly understand what the greatest authors of all time were saying without knowing about this topic.When literature refers to another famous work of literature, this is called an allusion (暗指), and allusions are common in great literature, not only in books and plays, but in poetry. This is because the great authors thought that people who were reading their literature were educated. One of the basic building blocks of literature that the great books refer to the most is Greek mythology.Some people say that we should not study Greek mythology because it's the study of demons. Do not dismiss (对……不屑一顾) these people or consider them stupid. I have done research, and found in actual fact that the Greek gods were really referred to asdemons. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't learn Greek mythology.Even your understan ding of everyday idioms such as “You've just opened Pandora's box”，or “That's my Achilles' heel” is completely confusing if you avoid reading Greek mythology just because the Greek gods were once called demons. After all, the true study of demons is completely different from the almost comedic mistakes of the Greek gods and goddesses who often have more problems than mere mortals. Flying sandals, ogres (吃人巨妖) with one eye, and a green­faced woman with snake hair that turns you to stone are more like fairy tales than an invitation to study the dark side.What it comes down to is this: if you do not study Greek mythology, you are reducing your understanding of life as well as literature. You will not understand newspaper allusions and will appear stupid to others, who will shut their ears to you because you don't know even the basics of what everybody knows. Be educated. Gain wisdom. So don't say “no” to Greek mythology.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning great works of literature?A. They are very important to today's readers.B. Great authors like reading Greek mythology.C. Many of them are based on Greek mythology.D. Greek mythology is commonly referred to in them.9. The great authors used allusions because they ________.A. wanted to show they were well­educatedB. wanted to encourage people to read moreC. thought people would benefit from themD. thought readers could understand them10. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A. Greek mythology is totally the study of demons.B. Many everyday idioms come from Greek mythology.C. Greek mythology is really too scary for young children.D. Learning Greek mythology means learning Greek gods' mistakes.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why we should study Greek mythologyB. How to get benefits from reading literatureC. How to understand allusions in literatureD. Why people want to study Greek mythologyDThe world is getting warmer, creating an extinction threat for many species. In our rapidly warming world, species have two choices: they can adapt or go extinct. A species' natural history determines its ability to adapt and its extinction risk. Here I present an overview of some of the carnivore (食肉动物) species for whom climate change presents a big challenge.The lynx (猞猁), whose numbers are low worldwide, must have young forest with diverse structure for hunting and mature forest for dens (洞窟). It can survive only by eating snowshoe hare and often starves to death when it changes prey. Given its low reproductive rate, strict habitat and food needs, the lynx has high extinction risk by 2100.The wolverine, which has experienced historical and recent widespread drops, usually feeds on the meat of dead animals. It needs year­round snow for dens and has low patience with heat. Given the rapidly dropping global level of year­round snow, even in mountainous regions, it has high extinction risk by 2100.The grizzly bear can eat over 270 different foods. However, this species needs high protein at important times. Global warming is reducing their key foods. While the grizzly bear's low reproductive rate limits its survival, its diverse diet will enable it to adapt to climate change. If it continues to be protected, it faces low extinction risk by 2100.The polar bear has low patience with heat. This polar species' primary prey is the ringed seal, which it can kill only on ice. Also, it requires a high­fat diet that only seal meat can provide. Due to its low reproductive rate and dependence on ice, the polar bear has high extinction risk by 2100.12. It's implied in Paragraph 1 that climate change ________.A. doesn't affect all species equallyB. has the biggest threat to the carnivore speciesC. can't make our world become warm rapidlyD. will have a negative influence on all species13. What do we learn about the lynx?A. It can be easily hunted by its enemies.B. It likes hunting food in mature forests.C. A female lynx can give birth to many young ones.D. It completely depends on snowshoe hare for food.14. Which of the following can be the biggest threat to the wolverine?A. Losing snowshoe hare.B. Losing snow for dens.C. Being in a very cold place.D. Being unable to hunt living animals.15. According to the text, which of the following has the lowest extinction risk?A. The lynx.B. The wolverine.C. The grizzly bear.D. The polar bear.Ⅱ.任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

And in the 31 300 years, there were so many 32 in both places that now people can easily 33 an English person from an American in the 34 he or she talks.Many old words 35 in England but were kept in America. For example, 300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they 36 either a “faucet”, “spigot”, or a “tap”. All these words are 37 heard in different parts of America, but only “tap” is still 38 in England. Americans often make 39 new words or change old ones. “Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 40 in England.Also, over the last three centuries the English language has 41 thousands of new words for things that weren't 42 before. And often, American and English people used two 43 names for them. A tin can is called “tin” for short in English, but a “can” in America. The word “radio” is44 all over the world, in cluding America. But many English people call it a “wireless”. And almost anything45 something to do with cars, railroads, has different 46 in British and American English.But now American and British English may be 47 closer together. One thing is that 48 people can hear a large amount of American speech daily in 49 , on television, or from travelers. Because of this, Americans 50 to be influencing the British more and more. So some day, English may even be the same on both sides of the Atlantic.31. A. past B. recent C. oldest D. latest32. A. citizens B. inventions C. changes D. advances33.

The following statements are true EXCEPT .A. only Englishmen can attend the coursesB. the courses are designed for learners of different levelsC. one can learn French even in the eveningD. Language upon Thames is a school aimed to offer help with language learningB“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I firs t read this sentence from an American friend's email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinese.Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greeting with a ruled English grammar and structure. Later on, after being told it's a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words couldn't convince me at all. So I did a research on Google. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see". This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, movies, newspapers or any other places. Though sort of informal, it is part of the language that American use daily. However, if you type this expression in Microsoft Word, it will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie-makers successfully created a famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. De tective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew(混杂物). All kinds of culture are mixed and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza form Italian, susi from Japanese. There is a long list! Americans don't just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you wouldn't be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future.55. The writer himself felt surprised at .A. reading “Long time no see”B. knowing the expression is standard American EnglishC. seeing the literal translation of the expressionD. finding out all the Americans use the expression daily56. The word “trademark” underlined probably means .A. design of a manufacture's goodsB. Confucius' s wordsC. Charlie Chan's creationD. representative of Charlie Chan57. According to the passage, it can be inferred that .A. detective like the expression “Long time no see”B. Hollywood made “Long time no see” popularC. the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languagesD. all kinds of culture can be changed in the huge pot of stew58. Which of the following is Not true?A. Informal language sometimes doesn't go with grammar and structure.B. Language in Microsoft system is ruled by grammar and structure.C. “Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.D. There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.CPeople in Hong Kong speak a rich mixture of languages. Hong Kong was a British colony for more than 156 years before it was returned to Chinese control in 1997. English was the only official language until 1994.Most people in Hong Kong today speak Cantonese, but Mandarin and other dialects also are heard, and English as the British used is still widely spoken and taught here. Now however, many people are choosing to learn English as it is spoken in the United States.Victor Chan, for example, has children who attend school called Nature EQ on Saturday and Sunday, and they are learning to say words the American way. Mr. Chan says he wants his sons to learn American English, because he plans to send them to the United States for further study.Nature EQ is one of a growing number of schools in Hong Kong that offer American English classes. Frankie Ng opened the school 17 years ago, at that time, he had only 40 students. Today, the school has 350 students, and it does not have space for any more.Mr. Ng says American English is clear and defined, he says it is easy to teach and easily understood. That, however, is not the main concern of the children.Public schools in the former British colony still teach mostly British English. But the number of private language schools teaching American English is growing.In Hong Kong's Tseung Kwan O district, for example, the "American English Workshop school" had 20 students a week when it opened one year ago. Today, it has more than 180 each week.Some observers say American English is becoming the language of international business. Increased contact with American culture, like movies, television programs, computer games and the Internet is spreading American expressions and accents in areas other than business.But for now, people hearing English in the streets of Hong Kong are mainly hearing traditional British English."We can understand both, but for what we speak, we speak with the British accent," said one local woman."The British is better I think," commented a local man.59. Which of the following is TRUE about the language spoken in Hong Kong?A. English is still the only official language now.B. British English is still widely spoken and taught at present.C. Most people are learning American English now.D. All people in Hong Kong can speak Cantonese.60. What can we learn from the examples shown in this passage?A. Views are different on American English.B. Not all people like American English.C. American English is becoming more popular.D. American English is better than British English.61. What does the underlined word "it" refer to?A. British English.B. American English.C. American English Workshop school.D. Hong Kong.62. What can we infer from the passage?A. American English and British English will go hand in hand in the future.B. American English will be more popular than British English.C. British accent is clear and easy to study.D. Local people can't understand both of the two kinds of English.DWhile there are certainly many more varieties of English, American and British English are the two varieties that are the most common. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is "correct". However, there are certainly preferences in use. The most important rule of thumb is to try to be consistent in your usage. If you decide that you want to use American English spellings then you should be consistent in your spelling (i.e. The colour of the orange is also its flavour—color is American spelling and flavour is British), this is of course not always easy—or possible. The following guide is meant to point out the principal differences between these two varieties of English.In British English the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example, I've lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In American English the following is also possible: I lost my key. Can you help me look for it? In British English the above would be considered incorrect. However, both forms are generally accepted in standard American English. Other differences involving the use of the present perfect in British English and simple past in American English include already, just and yet.British English: I've just had lunch./I've already seen that film./Have you finished your homework yet?American English: I just had lunch. Or I've just had lunch./I've already seen that film. Or I already saw that film./Have you finished your homework yet? Or did you finish your homework yet?There are two forms to express possession in English. Have or have got:Do you have a car?/Have you got a car?He hasn't got any friends./He doesn't have any friends.She has a beautiful new home./She's got a beautiful new home.While both forms are correct (and accepted in both British and American English), "have got (have you got, he hasn't got, etc.)" is generally the preferred form in British English while most speakers of American English employ the "have (do you have, he doesn't have etc.)".63. What is the main purpose of author's example "The colour of the orange is also its flavour" (in Paragraph 1)?A. To try to be consistent in your usage.B. To use American English spellings.C. To point out the principal differences.D. To express preferences in English.64. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A. Learning of new words.B. Differences of new words.C. Importance of the present perfect.D. Use of the present perfect.65. Which are the forms to express possession in English?A. Have or have got.B. Have you got or he hasn't got.C. Do you have or he doesn't have.D. Have or do have.66. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. American and British English are the two varieties of the least common.B. An action that has occurred in the recent past is the present perfect.C. In British English "I lost my key. Can you help me look for it?" is wrong.D. Most speakers of American English always prefer to use the "have got". 答案一、适当形式填空(单句适当形式)1. convinced2. have been complaining3. acquiring4. approval5. offend二、单词拼写(根据中文提示拼写单词)6. dialect7. ancestors8. debate9. media10. revolution11. splendid12. dilemma13. convey14. abused15. conflict三、单项选择16.
