Hearing this, the Englishman 56 to tears. He began to explain, " 'You don't say' 57 means 'really'. It is an 58 of surprise. Perhaps you don't pay attention to English idioms."

A
When I was sixteen years old, I made my first visit to the United States. It wasn't the first time I had been abroad. Like most English children, I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to (习惯于) speaking a foreign language to people who didn't understand French. But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problem.
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my American friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.
"Yes", I said, "I want to give my friend a ring."
"Well, that's nice," he said, "Are you getting married? But aren't you a bit young?"
"Who is talking about marriage?" I replied. "I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I've
arrived. Can you tell me where there is a phone box?"
"Oh," he said, "There is a phone downstairs."
When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me.
"Don't worry," he said to me. "I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which American use differently in meaning from British. You'll soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time, British and American people understand each other!"
61. Where was the writer from? He was from________.
A. America B. France C. England D. another country
62. The writer thought________in America.
A. he wouldn't have any language difficulties

63. The writer wanted to ________.
A. buy a ring for his friend
B. make a call to his friend
C. go to the telephone company
D. see his friend off
64. From the passage we can see that "give somebody a ring" ________.
A. means the same in America as in England
B. means "call somebody" to the old man
C. has two different meanings
D. means "be going to get married" in England
65. In the last paragraph the word "they" refers to________.
A. the old man and the boy B. the Americans

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. Finally, we must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.
There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists(一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "Learn through use". Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.
66. The most important things to learn a foreign language are________.
A. understanding and speaking
B. hearing, speaking, reading and writing
C. writing and understanding
D. memorizing and listening
67. Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because ______.
A. he doesn't understand the language when he hears it spoken
B. he doesn't have a good memory
C. he always remember lists of words and their meanings
D. he often hesitates to practise speaking it
68. One can never learn a foreign language well only by________.
A. much practice B. studying the dictionary
C. learning through use D. using the language
69. Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?
A. A good memory. B. Speaking. C. Practice. D. Writing.
70."Learn through use" means________.
A. we use a language in order to learn it
B. we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C. we can learn a language well while we are using it
D. both B and C
C
A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders(想知道): Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say "in hospital" and "Have you a pen?" ,Americans say "in the hospital" and "Do you have a pen?".Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like "bird" and "hurt". Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, "colour" and "honour" are British, "color" and "honor" are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.
71. According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that __________.
A. British people cannot understand him
B. American people cannot understand him
C. the grammar is too hard for him
D. the spelling is too hard for him
72. American English and British English are different in __________.
A. spelling B. pronunciation C. grammar D. all of the above
73.What is NOT mentioned(提及) in the passage?
A. Whether there are differences between British English and American English.
B. Whether British English and American English are one language or two.
C. How the differences between British English and American English came about.
D. How important the differences are.
74.Most __________ say "Do you have a watch?"
A. British people B. Americans C. children D. teachers
75.According to this passage,British people and Americans have________difficulty in understanding each other.
A. little B. much C. some D. great
D
A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.
Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometres an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number two is a sign that we're near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast. Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number seven has the word "SCHOOL" on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter "P" on it. The letter "P" means "Parking". At some places, there're the signs "No parking" or "No waiting". If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs, a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.
76.At the places where you see Sign 1, ________.
A.you are already out of a town
B.you still have thirty kilometres to go
C.there must be a town thirty kilometres away
D.there must be many houses and buildings not far away
77.There stands Sign 2 near a place where________.

C.the roads get narrow D.there are no traffic lights
78.You have to drive not only slowly but also carefully when you find________.

C.all of Signs 3, 5, 6 and 7 D. any of Signs 3, 5, 6 and 7
79.A driver can leave his car________.
A.near Sign 8 at any time
B.near a sign with "No parking" on it
C.near a sign with "No waiting" if there're no police there
D.near a sign with "P" on it in the daytime
80.People put these signs on the roads to________.
A.show drivers the way B.stop cars going too fast
C.make driving even safer D.learn another kind of language

Ladies and gentlemen, attention, please. Our bus will arrive at Lake District in a few minutes. You can feel the comfortable cool air coming from the lake. This is a favorite place for tourists in summer, especially on a hot summer afternoon like today. This area is one of the British national parks. People began to build houses around the lake a hundred years ago, so in this park you can have a special view of houses of all shapes and styles and colors. In late autumn and winter, this park is the best place for an outing. People like to have a good walk around it.
Now our bus is driving around the lake. You can sit back and enjoy the beauty of everything here. The bus will take us to a good spot, where you can take the most wonderful photos you have ever taken.
Here we are! Where we get off is where we get on. Return to the bus in one hour and fifty minutes. We'll leave at 3 o'clock. Thank you!
