The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English a

22、re exactly the same. Only a very small number of words are used disparately. For example, Americans would say “apartment”, but the British would say “flat” to talk about the place where they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic（惯用的） expressions are different. In England people migh

23、t say “Ill ring you up tonight”, but in the US, people might say “Ill call you up tonight”. The second difference between British and American English is in Pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation concerns the vowels（元音） . Some American dialects and some British dialects use vowels in di

24、fferent ways. Sometimes, Americans and the British dont understand each others pronunciation. But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each others pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same. The third difference is very small. This is the differenc

25、e in spelling. A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like “center”. In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R. Another example is “or” v

26、s “our”. The word “color”is spelled C-O-L-O-U-R in Britain but C-O-L-O-R in the US. There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British may say “Have you got. ” while Americans prefer “Do you have. ” An American might say “my friend just arrived”, but a British would say “my friend has just arr

27、ived”. Sometimes function words are used differently: the British may say “at the weekend”, but Americans would say “on the weekend”. 【小题 1】 What is this passage mainly about A The development of American English B Differences between British and American English C The influences of British English

32、ng. The scholar burst out, “Stop!

36、g and staring another. For example, after sending one email, take a breath before replying to another one. Drop the stuff you can no longer afford to lug around. At sea level, you can run with a brick in your backpack, but if youre hiking on a mountain, that brick has got to go. 【小题 1】 By pouring wa

48、ht and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this. Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits be
