After 6 t find a private teacher fr Duckwrth, Meyer suggested she attend the first grade at Chrisney. Duckwrth 7 immediately.

Many English language learners believe that the 1 (great) difficulty f listening cmprehensin (理解) is that the listener cannt cntrl hw quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that what the speaker says disappears 2 they can fllw. This frequently means that students 3 are learning t listen cannt keep up. They are s busy wrking ut the meaning f ne part f what they hear 4 they miss the next part. Or they 5 (simple) ignre a whle sectin because they fail 6 (catch) it quickly enugh. Anther difficulty is that the listener is nt always in a psitin t get the speaker t repeat what has been said. And, f curse, repeats cannt 7 (ask) fr when listening t the radi r watching TV.
Besides, the 8 (chse) f vcabulary is in the hands f the speaker, nt the listener. Very ften, fr peple listening t a freign language, an unknwn wrd can be like a suddenly drpping stne making them stp and think abut the meaning f the wrd, 9 (cause) them t miss the next part f the speech. In listening, it really is a case f “He wh 10 (stp) t wrk ut the meaning is lst.”

Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从词汇、过去时态所用的动词、拼写三个方面介绍了美式英语和英式英语的不同,并且还说明美式英语和英式英语也有很多相似之处。
1.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的Fr example, Americans g n vacatin while the British g n hliday; New Yrkers live in apartments while Lndners live in flats.可知,美国人说去度假用vacatin这个词,而英国人说去度假用hliday这个词;纽约人说住公寓用apartment这个词,而伦敦人说住公寓用flat这个词。由此可知,vacatin和apartment都是美国人用的词汇,故选C。根据第二段可知,hliday和flat是英国人使用的词汇,所以排除其余三项。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段British and American English have far mre similarities than differences. With the even make fun f each ther's accents.可知,英式英语和美式英语的相似之处远远多于不同点;除了一些方言外,大多数英国人和美国人能不怎么费力地听懂对方的话;他们看彼此的电视节目,唱彼此的歌,读彼此的书;他们甚至拿彼此的口音开玩笑。由此推断出,英式英语和美式英语有很多相似之处,除了一些方言,两国人沟通是没有障碍的,故选D。A项“它们都有一些奇怪的词”、B项“它们正在影响使用它们的人”和C项“它们连接着两国人民”都不是文章中的信息。
3.B 主旨大意题。根据文章结构可知,第一段中的But are American and British English really s different?(但是美式英语和英式英语真的那么不同吗?)引出文章的主题;接下来的三段介绍了美式英语和英式英语在词汇、动词的过去时态的形式和拼写三个方面的不同。由此推断出,文章的主题就是介绍美式英语和英式英语的不同。因此B项“英式英语和美式英语的不同之处”符合文章的主旨,故选B。A项“区分英式英语和美式英语的方法”、C项“英式英语和美式英语的发展”文中未提及;根据最后一段的内容可知两国人沟通几乎没有障碍,因此D项“英国人和美国人相互理解的困难”与原文不符。
【高频词汇】 1.divide v.分开;隔开 2.reflect v.反映;反射,照出 3.bvius adj.明显的;显然的 4.cntext n.上下文 5.have the ptin f ding sth.有做某事的选择 6.apply t适用于
7.make an effrt t d sth.努力做某事 8.with the exceptin f除了

Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了听力理解困难的具体原因。
1.greatest 考查形容词最高级。本句中使用最高级greatest表示听力理解最大的困难是无法控制说话者的语速。故答案为greatest。
2.befre 考查连词。此处是说他们感觉到他们还没有来得及理解,说话者说的内容就消失了。设空处引导时间状语从句,应用连词befre表示“在……之前”。
3.wh/that 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是students,应用关系代词wh或that指代先行词在定语从句中作主语,不能省略。
4.that 考查状语从句。此处构成结构,引导结果状语从句,意为“如此……以至于……”。故填that。
5.simply 考查副词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词。所以本句中使用副词simply作状语修饰主句的谓语动词ignre。故答案为simply。
6.t catch 考查动词不定式。fail t d sth.未能做某事。
7.be asked 考查语态。本句主语为repeats,与动词ask之间构成被动关系,所以使用被动语态。故答案为be asked。
8.chice 考查词性转换。设空处作主语,要使用名词形式,表示“选择权”,所以用名词chice。
9.causing 考查现在分词。分析可知此处为现在分词作结果状语,表示意料之中的结果。故答案为causing。
10.stps 考查时态和主谓一致。由语境可知此处表示一般情况,应用一般现在时;He后的 meaning为wh引导的定语从句,定语从句的先行词是He,关系代词wh指代先行词,在从句中作主语,设空处为从句的谓语,应用第三人称单数形式,所以用stps。
原句 N ne knws exactly wh said this, but it reflects the way many British peple feel abut American English.
分析 本句是并列复合句。but连接两个并列分句。wh said this是wh引导的宾语从句,作动词knws的宾语;the way后面是省略了that的定语从句。
句意 没有人确切地知道这是谁说的,但它反映了许多英国人对美式英语的看法。
