(C) My husband had just bought a new washing machine for me. I decided to use it the very day and I washed a lot of things. Everything worked well, but I found one of my husband’s socks missing. I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted (问候)them and told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar (大声笑)! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be in to see all this, I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I went on writing on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too! “Good heavens, ”I said, “Will someone please tell me what is so funny?” “Oh, God, ”said the teacher, “You have a brown sock stuck (粘，贴)to the back of your skirt! ” So that’s how I found my husband’s missing sock. “Oh, well,”I said to the class, “Let’s just say you have had an unforgettable lesson on static electricity(静电).” ( )64.

In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English. First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word especially the sounds like “t”and “d”. However, the British usually pronounce their consonants (辅音)more carefully. Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a”in “half”like the “a”in “cat”, but the British say the “a”in “half”like the “o”in “soft”. The “r”is sometimes said differently, too. When an American says “farmer”, you can usually hear the “r”. But you can’t hear the “r”in British English. The British say “fahmah”. Sound is not the only difference. The two languages have different words for some things, for example, the words for clothing are different. Americans use the word“sweater”, but the British say“jumper”. Many expressions(短语)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 some differences in grammar. These differences can be confusing (令人疑惑)if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the difference. Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French, but their French is different from the French spoken in France. ( )68. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The differences between British and American English. B. The two different languages, British and American English. C. The changes of the English language. D. Why American English is different from British English. ( )69. Which of the following is Not true? A. In American English, the “a”in the word“can’t”sounds the same as the “a”in the word “can”. B. The American English is different from British English only in grammar. C. Learners of British English may have some difficulty in understanding American English. D. French is not only spoken in France but in some other countries as well. 四. 方框选词。(共7分，每题1分) 不用变形，直接填空 big perfect named However time made on The trendiest kind of pet these days is the pot-bellied pig.
