Ⅴ.阅读理解
Once a New Zealand teacher asked where I live. “In the white
building，”I answered.“At our university both girls and boys live in the same dormitory，”I added.
Beyond my expectation, however, my effort(努力) to show I am speaking American English (AE) turned out to be something else. The New Zealander seemed very puzzled at my answer.
With a half smile, she asked，“Really? Do they live in the same room？”
“Oh, no. They live in different rooms but in the same building.” I reacted quickly.
Later I got to know the word “dormitory”. In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English(BE)．
The New Zealander misunderstood me because she spoke New Zealander English(NE), which, as we know, is much related to BE.
Nowadays, not a few English learners, who try to catch up with the fashion, choose to speak AE.
Yet, the problem is that they cannot speak pure AE, but half AE and half BE instead.
I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid misunderstanding.
1．Which of the following is RIGHT?
A．AE and BE are two different languages.
B．There are some differences between AE and BE.
C．New Zealanders speak BE.
D．New Zealanders cannot understand Americans.
解析：细微环节理解题。

阅读全文可知A、C和D与文意不符，而由第五段“Later I got to know the word ‘dormitory’. In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English (BE)．”可知，美式英语和英式英语之间是有区分的，故选B。

答案：B
2．What I said to the New Zealander is ________.
A．really pure AE B．really pure BE
C．half AE and half BE D．not English at all
解析：推理推断题。

由其次段中“... my effort to show I am speaking American English (AE) turned out to be something else.”和第五段“In AE it means one building while it means one room in British English(BE)．”可知“我”对这个新西兰人说的是纯正的美式英语。

答案：A
3．According to the passage, ________.
A．few people speak AE B．more people speak BE
C．BE is becoming fashionable D．AE is becoming fashionable
解析：细微环节理解题。

由倒数第三段“... not a few English learners, who try to catch up with the fashion, choose to speak AE.”可知美式英语越来越流行。

not a few相当于many，即很多。

答案：D
4．The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.
A．tell us a funny story
B．warn us not to make mistakes
C．tell us the differences between AE and BE
D．encourage us to speak one style of English
解析：推理推断题。

由文章的最终一句话“I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid misunderstanding.”可知，作者希望只说一种风格的语言，以避开误会，故选D。

答案：D。
