Daphne asked Jim, a friend of Walter’s, for some extra help on her political science homework. On Friday, they agreed to meet at the dormitory(宿舍) study room at 8 Sunday night. It was 8:05 when Jim arrived. He wasn’t on time as he usually is, because he had been out enjoying the spring weather after eating at MacDonald’s. But he wasn’t worried, because he knew from Walter that Daphne was usually late. When Daphne hadn’t arrived by 8:25, Jim was a little surprised. He decided to go to the dorm lounge(休息室) and watch his favourite Sunday night TV show. It started at 8:30, so he had to hurry.
When he got to the lounge, Walter was just leaving. “Hey, Jim, your favourite TV show just finis hed. Where were you? It was wonderful!”
“What do you mean, Walter? It’s 8:30, so I’m just in time to watch it!” Jim replied, looking a little confused(困惑).
“Did you adjust(校正) your watch last night?” Walter asked. Then he explained, “Last night you were s upposed to move your watch ahead one hour. We do this every year on the last Sunday in April. Then, on the last Sunday in October, everyone moves clock back an hour. We say spring ahead, fall back to help us remember which way to adjust our clocks.” Walter stopped to see if Jim had understood his explanation. “You don’t do that in Indiana, I guess.”
“No, we don’t,” Jim said, shaking his head. “In that case, I was over an hour late for my appointment(约定) with Daphne, not only five minutes. Wow! She’ll never let me forget this!”

(B)
The producer appeared behind the recording studio window and smiled and waved to me like an old friend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said, “That’s fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect, lively, wonderful.” Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were “excellent” and “just right”, and I began to consider a job in radio.
To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience. Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked, a friend named Peter Turner called to me, “I say, Mike, a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English, and I’ m booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test?” I did, and they said, “Perfect, lovely, wonderful, …” Would I come round?
It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel(元音) pronunciations were not altogether King’s English, or even Prince Philip’s, there was a larger silence than usual, then the voice said: “Fine, lovely…, but you said the word ‘castle’ with a short ‘a’. Could we have the passage again please, but this time say ‘castle’.” This was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation. “It’s my northern English accent,” I said angrily because I had to apologize for it.
“Oh, I see…but Mike, we’ll have to get it right, I’m afraid. The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools.”
I read the passage again…and again…and again. But of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour. The studio men were in the state of having lost hope and underlined the vowels which caused me to feel angry, so that I’d remember them. Few, really. But because I had to concentrate(集中) on them, I made a lot of mistakes in my reading. Everyone got somewhat irritable(easily made angry), so we all went out for a beer.
25. Broadcasting did not make Mike nervous _______.
A. although he had never done any before
B. because he worked in a news agency
C. because he was used to talking on the phone
D. although the passages were long
26. What happened after Mike had read the third passage?
A. They made him repeat it.
B. They said nothing.
C. They began to discuss the King’s English.
D. They could not understand one of the words.
27. They wanted Mike to change his pronunciation because _______.
A. German schoolchildren did not like a northern accent
B. it was different from the English taught in German schools
C. it was different from the English spoken in Germany
D. German schoolchildren were taught through recordings

二、完形填空
【语篇解读】本文为一篇夹叙夹议的文章，描述了作者第一次到美国旅行时因为语言障碍而遭遇的一次可笑的经历。

1.D 从短文首句“...I made my first visit to the United States.”可知，“我”到国外去，因此选abroad。

2.C 上学的时候学过法语。

at school表示“上学”。

3.B 因为上学时学过法语，又加上“我”经常到法国去，因此“我”已习惯了与人们说外语了。

在此，选项A有一定的干扰性，全文叙述的是过去的事情，因此应该用过去时态。

C项的意思是“过去常常”，to后面应跟动词原形。

4.A 因为“我”懂法语，所以“我”能够与那些不懂英语的人讲话。

5.B have a nice easy holiday有一个愉快、轻松的假期。

6.C 由前文可知，“我”是说英语的，因此说“我”想不会有任何语言问题。

7.D how引导感叹句。

how修饰形容词wrong，表示程度。

8.C 因为这时“我”在机场，所以“我”想找一个公用电话。

9.B 从下文“I 14 want to give my friend a ring...”得此答案。

give sb.a ring“给某人一个电话”，但老人却理解为“给某人一个戒指”。

10.B 他问“我”他是否能帮助“我”。

if引导宾语从句，意思是“是否”。

11.C 从后文可知老人以为“我”要结婚，因此他说“很好”，以表示祝贺。

12.D 从下文的“Who is talking about marriage？”可以得出答案。

get married“结婚”。

13.D 由短文首句“When I was 16 years old...”可知，老人觉得“我”的年龄还不适合结婚，因此他说：“但是，你不是还小吗？”
14.B 在此just相当于only“只是，仅仅”。

15.A 很明显，“我”想让他告诉“我”电话亭的位置。

16.A do/does/did用在肯定句中起强调作用，由时态知选did。

17.B 联系上下文，Danny在这里说她也遇到过一些麻烦。

由many可知不选A、D两项，再由语境排除C项。

18.C 上文出现的情况是语言使用习惯的问题，因此Danny说美国人在使用单词的意思上与英国人不同。

19.D 由下文“Most of the time British and American people understand each other.”可以看出，Danny对“我”说，“我”不久就会习惯这一切的。

20.D 大多数时候，美国人和英国人能彼此理解。

三、语法填空
61. decided 62. hoping 63. a 64. that 65 completely 66 who 67 to study 68 greater 69.others 70, with。
