分析 文章講述了美國英語和英國英語之間的差別主要在四個方面,并說明了他們屬于同一種語言,這兩國人在相互理解方面沒有說明困難.

解答 24.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段2,3行He wonders (想知道):Can I communicate with Americans?Can they understand me?說明學英國英語的人會擔心美國人能否聽懂,而學美國英語的人野擔心英國人是否能聽懂.故A正確.
25.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段There are a few differences in grammar.There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary.Pronunciation is sometimes different.這三句說明美國英語和英國英語在語法,拼寫,詞匯和發(fā)音方面都有差異,故D正確.
26.C.細節(jié)理解題.在第二段中提及了兩國英語之間的確存在著差異;在文章最后一句告訴我們這是一種語言,第最后一段也說了這種差異是多重要.唯獨沒有提及這種差異是如何產(chǎn)生的.故C正確.
27.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段三、四行Americans say"in the hospital!"and"Do you have a pen?"說明Do you have a watch?是講美國英語的人所說.故B正確.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

3.Thailand is a country with a diverse scenery.There is somewhere to visit at whatever time of the year.
In central Thailand and the eastern provinces,the hot summer weather starts around mid February and goes on to April.In April,the extreme temperatures can go up to the 40degrees centigrade.The winter months are from mid November to mid February.There may only be a few days of sincerely cold weather during these months.The rainy season kicks in from May to October.The rain is frequent and sometimes fierce.Usually rainstorms go on for around 30minutes or so.If you're visiting the beach destinations in the east (Pattaya,Rayong,Koh Chang),the best time is from December to May.
Northem Thailand and the Northeast have the same basic seasons although the winters are significantly cooler.Mountainous regions can get particularly cold,on some occasions down to 0degrees centigrade.In these parts,winter starts in November and goes on to February.Without doubt the rest months are the best-flowers are in bloom,it is dry and cool,and in the mountains fogs often form,making it quite a wonderful scenery.April is also a great month-during the Songkran Festival people will most likely throw water at you.

56.What does the author intend to do by writing the text?B

B.it is dry and hot in Central Thailand
C.many visitors tour Thailand all the year round

20.Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.
Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members,but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about.I know this from personal experience.
E-mail makes it easy to work at home,which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings.My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office.This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.
The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends.Say you do something fun see a great movie perhaps-and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it.If you call each one,you may tire of telling the story.
With E-mail,you just write one note about your experience,at your convenience,and address it to all the friends you think might be interested.They can read your message when they have time,and read only as much as they want to.They can reply at their convenience,and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.
E-mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away.More than a few parents use E-mail to keep in touch,even daily touch,with their children off at college.
