Ⅳ.阅读理解Canadian English
Canadian English is affected by both British and American English.In vocabulary there are a lot of US influences：Canadians use billboard，gas，truck and wrench rather than hoarding，petrol，lorry，and spanner；but on the other hand，they agree with the British in saying blinds，braces，porridge，and tap rather than shades，suspenders，oatmeal，and faucet.
South African English
Since 1994 South Africa has had eleven official languages：English，Afrikaans (having developed from Dutch)， Zulu，Xhosa，and other largely regional African languages.English is the first language of only about 10 percent of the population，but the second language of many others.The English of native Afrikaners has influenced the“standard”English of white South Africans，examples being such informal usages as the affirmative(肯定的)no，
as in“—How are you？—No，I'm fine.”and the all­purpose response “is it”，as
in“She had a baby last week，is it？”
Indian English
Together with Hindi，English is used across India，but it can also be a speaker's first，second，or third
language.The grammar of Indian English has many distinguishing features，of which perhaps the best known are the use of the present continuous tense，as in“He is having very much of property”，and the use of “isn't it”as an ordinary question tag，“We are me eting tomorrow，isn't it？”The first example shows another characteristic of the language，which is using “in” or “of” in idiomatic phrases.Verbs are also used differently，with speakers often dropping a preposition or object altogether，“I insisted immediate payment”，while double possessives(所有格)—“our these prices”(instead of the British English“these prices of ours”)—are common.

A．different B．same C．short D．missing

Ⅴ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

__1__ One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile delinquency—crimes committed by young people.For some years，juvenile
delinquency has been increasing.There are two main sorts of juvenile crime：stealing and violence.__2__ There are，I think，a large number of different reasons.
These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need.Young people often dislike and resent the adult world.__3__ Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like.
There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning.More and more people in Britain live in large towns.__4__ But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everybody knows everyone else.
Although it is difficult to explain，I think the last cause is very important.Perhaps there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime.It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence.__5__ But I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow up in.I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.
A．Many people do not agree that this influences young people.B．They will do things to show that they are rebels.
C．Crime is a serious problem in Britain.
D．They wanted to show their ability and get fame.
E．Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. F．In a large town or city there are more people than in villages. G．In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live.答案 1.C 2.E 3.B 4.G 5.A。
