21、There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting.
When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She _____ the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.
Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like that. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a pissed woman. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.
Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man to help her if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.
In order to communicate well with British people, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.
【1】When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a ______.
A．cup
B．ladder
C．cupboard
D．cooker
【2】According to the passage, in British English ______.
A．the word “pissed” means angry
B．the word “jacket” is often used
C．the word “engaged” means tired
D．the word “rubber” means eraser
【3】What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Pragraph2 mean?
A．Wrote down
B．Cared about
C．Looked for
D．Settled down
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．The British way of using words.
B．Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her.
C．The reasons why Americans can’t followed the British at times.
D．Some words used differently in British English and American English.
22、 Since the first Earth Day in 1970,Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment(环境).“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment,let alone that there was a problem with it,”says Bruce Anderson,president of Earth Day the USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people,political leaders,university professors,and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many,many times,”says Gaylord Nelson,the former governor from Wisconsin,who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports,emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with,the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling(回收利用)programs;today in 1995 there are about 6,600.Advanced lights,motors,and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago,there were hardly any education programs for environment.Today,it’s hard to find a public school,university,or law school that does not have such a kind of program.“Until we do that,nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.
【1】According to Anderson,before 1970,Americans had little idea about______.
A.the social movement
B.recycling techniques
C.environmental problems
D.the importance of Earth Day
【2】Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A.The grass-roots level.
B.The business circle.
C.Government officials.
D.University professors.
【3】What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B.They have settled their environmental problems.
C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
23、Several factors can influence your first impression of someone, including their physical features, voice and speech, surrounding environment, etc. It takes time to get to know personal characteristics that really convey (传达) someone’s nature.【1】? These tips can help.
Stay conscious (有意识的) of body language
Body language can convey quite a bit about how you feel in a given situation. A few tips to consider: open up your posture (姿势); make some eye contact; and listen intently.【2】. If eye contact feels uncomfortable, try just focusing on your posture.
Show your interest
Expressing interest in what someone has to say can help boost your chances of making a good impression. Try a thoughtful comment that keeps the conversation moving and makes it clear you've been paying attention. 【3】. People generally want to know they can trust you.
Dress for the occasion
Previous research suggests that body language plays more of a part in first impressions than clothing. But your personal style can play a role, too. There’s nothing wrong with expressing yourself through your clothing. Just know that certain situations do call for a slightly more formal look.【4】.
Make small talk
【5】. But it can often pay off when it comes to leaving a positive impression. Even simple comments, like “I really like this new professor” or “Those are great shoes”, can start a conversation they'll remember later.
While a first impression can set the tone (基调) for future interactions, it’s also worth keeping in mind that first impressions are largely unconscious. Just approach every new meeting with kindness, compassion, and a willingness to grow.
A．What about them stand out to you right away
B．It’s all too easy to accidentally say something inconsiderate
C．And keep any comments or praise you offer honest and genuine
D．Besides, the “right” dress doesn’t always have to be fancy or new, either
E．Are you in search of ways to leave the most favorable first impression possible
F．You don’t need to do all of the above every time you’re interacting with someone
G．Small chat about the weather or other everyday topics can sometimes seem boring
24、More investors are supporting a biotechnology company working on ways to bring back animals that have died off. Some scientists, however, are doubtful such research efforts are possible-or even a good idea.
Colossal Biosciences first proclaimed its plan to bring back a hairy ancestor of today's elephants, known as the woolly mammoth, two years ago. Recently, the company said it wanted to bring back the dodo bird: a large, flightless bird.
The dodo is a symbol of man-made extinction. The last dodo was killed in 1681 on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius.
The possibility of bringing the dodo back is not expected to directly make money. But the genetic tools and equipment that the company develops to try to do it may have other uses, including for human health care.
The dodo's closest living relative is the Nicobar pigeon, said Beth Shapiro, a scientific advisor with the bioscience company. She has been studying the dodo for 20 years. She is a professor at the University of California.
Shapiro's team plans to study DNA differences between the Nicobar pigeon and the dodo to understand “what are the genes that really make a dodo a dodo,” she said. The team may then attempt to change Nicobar pigeon cells to make them seem like dodo cells. It may be possible to put the changed cells into developing eggs of other birds, such as pigeons or chickens. Then the birds might create young that could naturally produce dodo eggs, said Shapiro. The idea is not yet fully developed.
Shapiro said animals are a product of both their genetics and their environment-which has changed a lot since the 1600s. She added, “it's not possible to recreate a 100% identical copy of something that's gone.”
Other scientists wonder if it is even a good idea to attempt to recreate species that have died off. They question whether such efforts take attention and money away from attempts to save living species.
【1】What does the underlined word “proclaimed" mean in paragraph 2?
A．Praised.
B．Ignored.
C．Suspected.
D．Announced.
【2】What may bring fortune to the company?
A．Reborn dodo birds.
B．Inventions in the study.
C．Donations from the public.
D．Research in extinct animals.
【3】What is paragraph 6 mainly about?
A．The theory of recreating the dodo.
B．The closest living relative of the dodo.
C．The difficulty of bringing back the dodo.
D．The possibility of the rebirth of the dodo.
【4】What is the attitude of other scientists towards recreating the dodo?
A．Critical.
B．Favorable.
C．Doubtful.
D．Cautious.
