Americans began to change the sound of their speech after the Revolutionary War in seventeen-seventy-six. They wanted to make it different 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 influence 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 eighteen-twenty-eight. It established rules for speaking and spelling the 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 “e-r” to end many words instead of the British “r-e. ”He spelled the word “center, ”for example, “c-e-n-t-e-r, ”instead of the British “c-e-n-t-r-e. ”Websters rule for saying every part of a word made American English easier for foreign settlers to learn. They learned to say “waist-coat, ”for example, the way it is spelled instead of the British “wes-kit. ”The different languages of many people who came to the United States also helped make American and 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 States, 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! 1. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Separating themselves from the British in language. B. Written English in America. C. Spoken English in America. D. Spoken English in Britain. 2. Why did American want their language to differ from British English? A. Because they found British English hard to speak. B. Because they found British English hard to spell. C. Because they wanted to have their own language and government. D. Because foreign settlers wanted them to change their language. 3. Why do Americans use the word “meter” instead of the word “metre” ? A. Because Benjamin Franklin didnt like the word “metre” . B. Because the word “meter” was absorbed from other languages. C. Because Webster thought the word should be said in order of the letters that are spelt. D. Because Webster thought American English should be made easier for foreign settlers to learn. 4. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Noah Websters simplifying the spelling of English words. B. Differences and similarities between British and American English. C. The reasons why American English was formed and its development. D. Varieties of English throughout the world. B“Did you e alone or with your parents? ”When Tsinghua Universitys new xx freshmen arrived on campus late last month, the first question they were faced with at the registration desk was the above. According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. Chen Jining, the president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet”. To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At Zhejiang University, a banner hanging in the information center says “Parents let go please; let us guide your children. ”“Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes, children never grow up, ”said Lu Guodong, dean(系主任)of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University. “But at university, growing up is the goal for all students. Growing up is the biggest success. In China, students grow up too slowly as parents are always in charge. Students never think about what path they should take and why, ”said he. Zhang Yanxue, a senior student studying Chinese language and literature at the munication University of China, is the president of the Self-improvement Society. Although most students can finish the registration process by themselves, their parents usually prefer acpanying them to the university. “This is the third time Ive weled freshmen and I havent seen much change in that regard, ”Zhang said. “The number of students who came alone is the same as in previous years. Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asks senior students to return to their hometown and acpany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently. “Students should have an independent character and a dream. Learning how to use that independent character to achieve their dream and finish tasks assigned by the country is very important, ”said Tsinghua University President Chen. 5. How many universities are mentioned in the passage? A. 4. B. 3. C. 5. D. 6. 6. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. Tsinghua has thought of new methods to help freshmen grow up. B. Universities take measures to help freshmen register. C. Universities help freshmen to be independent. D. University students lack independence. 7. should assume greater responsibility for students lack of independence. A. UniversitiesB. ParentsC. GovernmentD. Society8. Zhang Yanxue is a. A. reporterB. headmasterC. teacherD. student9. What can we learn from the passage? A. University freshmen lack independence. B. Parents do what they can do for their children. C.
