19、 will be held to celebrate the 40 th anniversary of the school.D. People can visit to pay for the travel.BI did some research and examined how British English and American English changed between the 1930s and the 2000s. Take spelling for example-towards the 1960s it looked like the UK was going in

20、the direction of not using the "u" in "colour" and writing "centre" as "center". But since then, the British have become more confident in some of their own spelling. In the2000s, the UK used an American spelling choice about 11% of the time while Americans us

21、ed a British one about 10% of the time. There is also no need to worry too much about American words, such as "vacation", "liquor" and "law -maker" entering British English. There are a few examples of this kind of vocabulary change but they are mostly uncommon words an

22、d are not likely to change British English too much. The British are still using "mum" rather than "mom" and " petrol" rather than "gas".But when we start thinking of language more in terms of style than vocabulary or spelling, a different picture appears. Som

23、e of the bigger trends（趋势）in American English are moving towards a freer use of language. American sentences are on average one word shorter in 2006 than they were in 1931.Americans also use a lot more apostrophes（撇号）in their writing than they used to, which has the effect of turning the two words &

24、quot;do not" into the single "don't". "The hand of the king" becomes the shorter "the king's hand".However, in all these ways the British are changing too and in the same way as Americans. They're just about 30 years behind the trend that Americans seem

25、 to be leading.So this raises a question, is British English actively following American English or is this something that is simply a natural trend in language use? Perhaps the British would have gone in that direction even if America had never been discovered? I'd like to agree with the second

26、 idea but because of the fact that British people learn plenty of American language through different ways, I think the first is more correct.61. What did the British do in the 1960s?A. They used sone American spellings.B. They built up confidence in their language.C. They did research on language d

27、ifferences.D. They went in the direction of harder spellings.62. What does the writer try to show by using examples like“ petrol " ?A. British English has changed a lot.B. Some uncommon words are used less often.C. American words are entering British English.D. American spelling won ' t cha

29、e languages?A. American English is going the wrong way.B. British English is following American English' s changes.C. American English is borrowing a lot from British English.D.

31、. She thought teaching was not just a hobby or even aprofession but also a way of living, just as important as breathing and eating. She always tried her best to make her teaching lively.Mom often worked late at night after her energetic teaching of her dance students-she would type out songs, dance

32、 routines, and funny plays. So I could often hear her typewriter as I went to sleep at night. Her typing sounded like pain. Sometimes, she would go to Broadway shows, "steal" the routines, and type them out for her students to perform. She could always create something new and joyful to ra

33、ise her students' great interest.When I graduated from college, I wanted to be a great director.
