officially speak english, both have branched off into different directions. americans, remember this never say “butt (烟头)” in the uk. if you say “butt”, a uk native will guess you mean “but” and then think you are a typical crazy american who doesnt know how to construct a simple sentence. uk natives, remember this never say “fag (香烟)” in america. it is an expression that would hurt someone. if you mean “cigarette”, just say “cigarette”, “smoke”, or “cancer stick”. this is a part of the vocabulary differences between the words of the two countries. but you can also see there are big differences in meanings for the same word.do you notice i did something different with the quote marks in the paragraph below? in america, quote marks are double apostrophe (撇) like marks (“”) while in the uk its just single (). this is the most obvious difference. another difference is what to call that little dot (小圆点) at the end of a sentence. in america, its called a period, but in the uk its a full stop.both americans and uk natives have different rules for when to add “the”, “an” or “a” in front of a noun. for example, in america, you have to “go to the hospital”. but in the uk, you “go to hospital”. another interesting difference is in adverb use. if something is really good, its “terribly good”. if something is bad, its “jolly rotten”. while in america, if something is bad, its “really bad”.the differences between the countries will increase as time goes by, and you can find some yourselves.36. according to the author, we can learn that _. a. the difference between american and british english will disappear b. the difference between american and british english exists only in wordsc. american and british english develop separatelyd. marks are the biggest difference between american and british english 37. in england if you say “butt”, the locals will _.a. understand what it meansb. think it is the end of a cigarettec. think you are going to beat themd. misunderstand your meaning 38. which of the following is correctly used in the usa? a. fag means cigarette while a period means the dot at the end of a sentence.b. cancer stick stands for cigarette while a period for the dot at the end of a sentence.c. fag means cigarette while a full stop means the dot at the end of a sentence.d. cancer stick stands for cigarette while a full stop for the dot at the end of a sentence.39. americans and uk natives have different rules for _. a. explaining the hospital b. setting places where smoking is allowedc. placing the dot markd. adding an article before a noun40. “jolly” in the uk is similar to “ _ ” in america. a. really b. well c. steadilyd. rapidlyb tim berners lee has invented something that affects us all; it is used by millions of people all over the world. tim berners lee has invented the world wide web.he was born on june 8, 1955 in london. his parents were all computer geeks. as a matter of fact they met when they were working on

queens college at oxford university.tim had inherited his parents gift for computer technology. in 1976 he set about building his own computer. one of the most common sights would be to find tim lost in his work oblivious (未察觉的) to the world. tim berners lees internet adventure started in the swiss alps. he was completing a six-month course as a software engineer at cern, the european laboratory for particle physics, in geneva. in 1980, he came up with a language called html (hypertext mark-up language). this has been adopted as the official language for the internet.the world got its first glimpse (一瞥) at the world wide web when tim put up the first web site called info.cern.ch. it had equipment to produce a database of other web sites. people started putting up all kinds of information on the internet. the number of internet users was growing at a great speed. they were doubling in less than two months.tims greatness lies in the fact that he has not commercially gained from his idea. he never thought of applying for a patent (专利). in 1994 he founded world wide web consortium (w3c) at the mit laboratory for computer science in cambridge, massachusetts. all technology standards from this institute are based on this free technology. according to eric schmidt, ceo of novell, “if this were a traditional science, tim would win a nobel prize.”41. the underlined word

had tried so hard to be strong for the kids and me. after six weeks, becky was facing her final five treatments. she was weak and couldnt find her usual fighting spirit. i felt so helpless and powerless to see her suffering. once becky told me she was okay, i left her to rest and went outside.having nothing to do, i decided to repair the front porch (门廊). there were some areas that needed to be replaced. as i got outside, long-held frustration (沮丧) and anger erupted in me like a volcano. i took a hammer and suddenly was swinging as hard as i could, and banging on the porch. i imagined the breaking of wood to be the breaking of my wifes cancer. i couldnt tear the cancer from her body, but i could destroy our front porch, imagining that with every bit of wood i destroyed, i was destroying her cancer.then i saw her standing at the window. the front porch was gone. i walked into our bedroom, not knowing how she would react to what i had done. “becky, you arent mad at me, are you?” she looked at me in surprise. “mad at you? for what?” i pointed to the front window. “for tearing down the porch,” she laughed. “look how sunny this room is now. its brighter than before. i like it.”i was relieved and embraced her, grateful to hear laughter. “well, i couldnt tear the cancer out of you, so i tore down the porch instead.” “thanks, honey, for tearing down the porch.” becky had a huge smile on her face. “you comforted me in my darkest hour, and you found a way to deal with your own frustration. by destroying the porch, you let the sunshine in, and not just into our bedroom.”as i looked around the brightened room that day, i realized the light that filled the space was the light of hope that shines so brightly after the darkness. we never did rebuild the porch.46. the

because of the heating or cooking fuels. most live in africa, india and china. they use fuels like wood, crop waste, animal waste or coal. these fuels may be the least costly fuels. but they are also a major cause of health problems and death.for more than 30 years, the aprovecho research center has been designing cleaner, low-cost cooking stoves. dean still is the director of the group and he points out that every year more than 1,500,000 people die from breathing smoke from solid fuels. “and half of the people use wood for cooking. these are the poorer people, and the richer people use oil and gas. its estimated that wood is running out more quickly than oil and gas. and so its very important for the poorer people to have very efficient stoves that protect their forests and their health,” he says.every year aprovecho holds a “stove camp” at its testing station. engineers, inventors and others come together to design and test different methods and materials for improving stoves. over the years, the group has made stoves using mud, bricks, sheet metal, etc, most of which look like large, deep cooking pots and have an opening at the bottom for the fire and a place on top to put a pot. in the late 1970s, aprovecho produced a popular stove called the lorena. the lorena was very good at reducing smoke and warming homes. but new tests years later found that it was not very efficient. the lorena used twice as much wood as an open fire, and took much longer to heat food. since then, dean still says they have experimented with countless other designs. aprovecho has partnered with a stove manufacturer (制造商) in china. the company is making aprovechos stoves. they are said to use 40% to 50% less wood than an open fire, and produce 50% to 75% less smoke. a company is selling them through its website for less than ten dollars. dean still says that more than 100,000 have been sold so far.51. whats the purpose of the first paragraph?a. to show many people are suffering from air pollution.b. to lay the foundations of introducing cooking stoves. c. to show the poverty of some developing countries.d. to introduce cheap fuels available to poor people.52. it is implied in dean stills words that _. a. its urgent to change the present situation of using fuelsb. the poor should be forbidden to cut down the forestsc. the forests will disappear from the earth d. using fuels such as gas and oil cannot cause deaths53. the stove camp is held every year in order to _. a. encourage people to find new fuelsb. test different methods for improving stovesc. find new ways of designing beautiful stoves d. celebrate the invention of the best efficient cooking equipment54. how can you describe the popular stove called the lorena?a. energy-saving. b. very compact. c. less efficient. d. smokeless.55. what is the best title of the text?a. environmental improvement needs everybodys effort b. how to make full use of fuels?c. health problems related to cooking fuelsd.
