9、f the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the _19_ of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The _20_ of Ireland is selfgoverning. The _21_ name of the Untied Kingdom is _22_ “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
10、Northern Ireland.”_23_ is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the largest _24_ of the United Kingdom, so people often use the _25_ “England” and “English” when they _26_ “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little _27_. The Scots in
11、 particular are very _28_ of their separate nationality.

16、2分，共40分)阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。ALanguage experts say that spoken English was almost the same in the American colonies and Britain two hundred years ago. Americans began to change the sound of their speech after the Revolutionary War in seventeenseventysix. They wanted to make it differe
17、nt to separate themselves from the British in language, in the same way they separated themselves from the British government.Some American leaders proposed major changes in the language. Benjamin Franklin wanted a whole new system of spelling. His reforms were not accepted. But his ideas did influe
18、nce others. One was Noah Webster.Webster wrote language books for schools. He believed the United States should have a system of its own language as well as government. Webster published a dictionary of the American language in eighteentwentyeight. It established rules for speaking and spelling the
19、words used in American English.Webster wrote that all words should be said in the order of the letters that spell them. This is why Americans use the letters “er” to end many words instead of the British “re.” He spelled the word “center，” for example, “center，” instead of the British “centre.”Webst
20、ers rule for saying every part of a word made American English easier for foreign settlers to learn. They learned to say “waistcoat，” for example, the way it is spelled instead of the British “weskit.”The different languages of many people who came to the United States also helped make American and
21、British English different. Many of their foreign words and expressions became part of English As Americans speak them.Sometimes Americans and British people do not understand each other because of different word meanings. For example, the word “jumper” in Britain means a sweater. In the United State
22、s, it is a dress. The British word “brolly” is an “umbrella” in America. And the British call potato chips “crisps”. All of these differences led British writer George Bernard Shaw to joke that Britain and America are two countries separated by the same language!36What does the underlined word “it”
23、in the first paragraph refer to?ASeparating themselves from the British in language.BWritten English in America.CSpoken English in America.DSpoken English in Britain.37Why did American want their language to differ from British English?ABecause they found British English hard to speak.BBecause they
24、found British English hard to spell.CBecause they wanted to have their own language and government.DBecause foreign settlers wanted them to change their language.38Why do Americans use the word “meter” instead of the word “metre”？ABecause Benjamin Franklin didnt like the word “metre”BBecause the wor
25、d “meter”was absorbed from other languages.CBecause Webster thought the word should be said in order of the letters that are spelt.DBecause Webster thought American English should be made easier for foreign settlers to learn.39Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why English began to cha
26、nge in America?AThe government leaders.BNoah Webster.CImmigration to America.DThe difficulty Americans had in understanding the British.B You may know the English letters A, B and C, but do you know there are people called ABCs? You may like eating bananas, but do you know there is such a thing as “
27、a banana person”？ How strange! Are these people from another earth? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means Americaborn Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the US. Sometimes, people call an ABC“a banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a per
28、son is a banana, he or she is white insidethinking like a westerner and yellow outsidelooking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them can not speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chinese politics.But if ABCs cant speak Ch
29、inese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore, but they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even greatgrandparents were from China. They all ha
30、ve black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the Peoples Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist CN. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.40“ABC” in the passage stands for _.A3 English lettersBa kind of bananaCChinese born in America DAmericans born in China41Chinese in western countries are called “banana persons” because _.Atheir bodies are white inside but yellow outsideBthey think like westerners but look like ChineseCthey were born in China
