第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿分40分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact， there are some important differences between British English and American English.

First of all， they sound very different. Often， Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno.” instead of “I dont know.” Or they may say “Whatddya say？” instead of “What did you say？” However， the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.

Also， some letters have different sounds. For example， the Americans say the “a” in “half” like the “a” in “cat”. But the British say the “a” in “half” like the “o” in “soft”.

Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings， too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example， the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks， but in England they drive lorries. The back of a car is called a trunk （后備廂） in America but in England it is a boot. The American word for the front of the car is hood， but the British say bonnet （引擎蓋）.

Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England， if you are going to telephone friends， you “ring them up”； in America you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio！”； in America you might say， “See you later.”

There are also differences in grammar sometimes. For example， Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have class today？” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you class today？”

All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places， the languages change in different ways. This is what happened to English. It can also happen to other languages， such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French in France.

Last Friday， after doing all the family shopping in town I wanted a rest before catching the train， so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop. It was a cheap self-service place with a long table to keep a place and I went to get a cup of coffee.

When I came back with the coffee， there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys， with dark glasses and old clothes， and his hair was colored bright red at the front. What did surprise me was that hed started to eat my chocolate.

I was rather uneasy about him， but I didnt want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper， tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didnt say anything to him. When he took a third piece， I felt angrier. I thought， well， I shall have the last piece. “And I got it.”

The boy gave me a strange look， and then stood up. As he left he shouted out， “There is something wrong with the woman.” Everybody looked at me， but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew Id made a mistake. It wasnt my chocolate that I had eaten. That was mine， just under my newspaper.

25. Why did the writer go into the station coffee shop？

A. To put her heavy bag on the table. B. To meet a boy with dark glasses.

C. To buy a newspaper. D. To take a short rest.

26. Why was the writer surprised when she came back to the table？

A. A boy behaved rudely to the people around. B. A boy was eating her chocolate.
