Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes不同的國(guó)家有不同的英語Voyages of people from England play 1._important part in spreading the English language. 2._ present, English is 3 _(frequent) spoken as an 4. _(office) or common language in many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All 5. _(base) on British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But 6. _( actual), these Englishes have been 7._(gradual) changing in accents, spellings,8._( express) and the 9._(use) of vocabulary. Because 10. _this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss11._( fluent) commands his driver, “Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs”, instead of 12. _(request) “Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis”, you can recognize his American13._( identify) while the latter suggests that he is British. 英國(guó)人的航海在英語的傳播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英語在許多國(guó)家被作為官方語言或通用語言頻繁地使用，例如美國(guó)、新加波、馬來西亞和一些非洲的國(guó)家。這些國(guó)家的英語都以英式英語為基礎(chǔ)，能很好地為以英語為本族語的人所理解。但是實(shí)際上，這些英語在口音、拼寫、表達(dá)和詞匯的使用方面都在逐漸變化。因?yàn)檫@一情況的存在，你就可以利用這些英語之間的區(qū)別說出你們街區(qū)的外國(guó)人是哪個(gè)國(guó)家來的了。例如，如果有個(gè)老板流利地命令他的司機(jī)：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs（直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油）”，而不是要求說，“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis（請(qǐng)直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油）”，你就可以輕易地辨認(rèn)出他的美國(guó)人身份，而后者卻暗示著那是一位英國(guó)人。（請(qǐng)注意：聽力錄音里第二段兩個(gè)“電梯”的單詞跟原文不一致，原文是對(duì)的，錄音弄錯(cuò)了，elevator才是美式說法而lift是英式說法。)3. A Hard Trip一次辛苦的旅行My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since 1._(graduat), she had been 2. _(determine) to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not 3._(care) about the 4._(advantage). Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her 5. _(change) her mind. Finally, we gave in as usual though we 6._(prefer) to take 7._train. After we prepared everything, 8._(include) the schedule, 9._(rely) weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.Our journey was along a river 10._(flow) from a high altitude. Our pace 11._slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys, where the water seemed 12. _ (boil). Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really 13. _hard journey. But we also enjoyed great 14._(view). One night, I put my head on my pillow-a parcel of wool coats, and lay 15._the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out 16._ midnight, I found the sky so beautiful! 我的妹妹很喜歡旅行。自從畢業(yè)以來，她就下定決心要組織一次往一座古廟的旅行。因?yàn)榻煌ㄙM(fèi)用昂貴，她決定騎自行車去，毫不擔(dān)心其中的不利情況。頑固的態(tài)度一直都是她的缺點(diǎn)，一旦她下定決心要做的事，就沒有人能說服她改變主意。最后，我們像往常一樣讓步，盡管我們更喜歡乘火車去。我們準(zhǔn)備好了所有東西，包括時(shí)間表、可靠的天氣預(yù)報(bào)，還有保險(xiǎn)，就開始了旅程。我們的旅程沿著一條從高海拔處流下來的河流前行。但我們的步伐很慢，因?yàn)楫?dāng)流經(jīng)深深的峽谷時(shí)，這條河流急轉(zhuǎn)彎很多，急湍的河水都似乎沸騰起來。正如我在旅行日志里記錄的那樣，這真是一次艱苦的旅行。但是我們也欣賞到了美麗的景色。一天晚上，我把頭枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕頭上，躺在星空下，當(dāng)巖洞前的火焰在午夜熄滅時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)夜空是如此的美麗！4. A Horrible EarthquakeDirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one 1._(judge) that an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook.

Huge cracks 7. _( trap) cyclists everywhere.The next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the reporters 8_(give) an outline of the disaster, the whole nation was 9._( shock) by the damage and the victims extreme 10._(suffer). People were moved when they read that the11._(survive) comforted each other by saying “12._(Congratulate)! You survived!”. So they not only expressed their 13._(sympathize) 14._(sincere), but also organized together to help the victims right away. The 15._(injure) were rescued and the dead were 16._(bury) The 17._(frighten) survivors were18_( dig) out from under the 19._(ruin) and were offered shelter, fresh water and electricity. 20. _to peoples help, the 21. _(lose) was minimized.地震前，水井和運(yùn)河里的污水都漲涌起來。但是卻沒人判斷出地震即將來臨。霎那間，一切都在搖晃，似乎整個(gè)世界就要結(jié)束。數(shù)以百萬的磚房和許多水壩遭到破壞；鐵路軌道都變成無用的鐵條；煤礦管道紛紛爆裂，發(fā)出有臭味的蒸汽；到處都有騎車的人被巨大的裂縫陷住。第二天，所有報(bào)紙都紛紛以大字標(biāo)題或主要標(biāo)題報(bào)道了這一事件。記者們描述了災(zāi)難的大概情況，全國(guó)都被地震的破壞和災(zāi)民們極度的苦難所震驚。當(dāng)人們讀到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你還活著?！眮砘ハ喟参繒r(shí)，都被感動(dòng)了。人們不僅衷心地表達(dá)了他們的同情，而且還立刻組織起來幫助災(zāi)民。傷員被救助了，死者被埋葬了，嚇壞的幸存者被從廢墟中挖出來了，棲身處、凈水和電力也很快得到提供。多虧了人們的幫助，災(zāi)區(qū)的損失被減到了最小。5.The Great President偉大的總統(tǒng)As the 1._ (found) of the republic, the president had many good qualities. Before coming _2._ power, he was a generous 3._(law). He was willing to 4._(selfless) help everyone who turned to him. He accepted no fee to offer 5._(law) guidance and opinions to those who were out of work or uneducated. Later, 6._(believe) all mankind to be equal, he devoted himself to 7._(stop) the unfair anti-black laws. He set up the Black Youth League and 8._(vote) to be the leader. However, though he kept peaceful principles without 9._(violent) and terror, his mean enemies still blew up his house and attacked his relatives, and he himself couldnt escape 10._(sentence) to 30 years in prison.Not fearing of the prison guards cruelty, he kept active and begged no mercy from them. 11._ a matter of fact, he was always 12._(hope) and never lost heart during the stage even though he was in trouble.13._(final), people rewarded him with the leaders position and a gold blanket. 作為共和國(guó)的創(chuàng)始人，這位總統(tǒng)具備許多的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。還在掌權(quán)之前，他就是一位慷慨的律師。他愿意無私地幫助那些向他求助的人。他免費(fèi)為失業(yè)的，或沒有受過教育的人提供法律指導(dǎo)和意見。后來，因?yàn)橄嘈潘腥祟惗际巧鷣砥降?，他全身心投入到廢除不平等的反黑人法律工作中。他建立了黑人青年團(tuán)并被選為領(lǐng)袖。然而，盡管他堅(jiān)持沒有暴力、沒有恐怖的和平原則，卑鄙的敵人還是炸毀了他的家、襲擊了他的親屬，他自己也無法逃脫被判30年徒刑的遭遇。在獄中，他毫不畏懼獄警的殘酷，始終保持積極的態(tài)度，不向他們乞求憐憫。實(shí)際上，他在任何一個(gè)困境時(shí)期都充滿著希望，從未灰心。最后，人們以領(lǐng)袖的職位和一塊金毯子回報(bào)了他的貢獻(xiàn)。 6. A Brave Maid勇敢的女仆A 1._(wood) vase from the Ming Dynasty 2._ the entrance of the reception hall 3._(amaze) everyone. The artists designed it in a rare style and selected 4._(value) jewels to decorate it. People thought 5._(high) of its fancy colour of honey and the beautiful paintings on it. The vase used 6._(belong) to a former castle. But when the country was at war, the enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase survived went on and on. In order to remove peoples doubt, a team of no less than 20 people carried out 7._ informal investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart and asked a 8._(sail) to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under the cruel trial of the enemies 9._ were in search of treasures.It is worth 10._(give) this brave maid a fortune in return.接待大廳入口處的明朝木制花瓶 使每個(gè)人都驚奇不已。藝術(shù)家以一種罕有的風(fēng)格設(shè)計(jì)它，并挑選了貴重的珠寶裝飾它。人們高度贊賞它那蜂蜜般的奇特顏色，還有上面繪制的繪畫。這個(gè)花瓶曾經(jīng)屬于一座從前的城堡，但在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間，敵人的軍隊(duì)炸毀了城堡，于是關(guān)于這個(gè)花瓶是如何幸存下來的爭(zhēng)論就一直在持續(xù)著。為了解開人們的疑問，一個(gè)由不少于20人的調(diào)查隊(duì)開展了一次非正式的調(diào)查。他們找到的證據(jù)表明，有個(gè)女仆 把花瓶拆開，然后讓一名水手把它沉到當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋€(gè)水井里。她從來沒有泄露這個(gè)秘密，即使是在搜尋財(cái)寶的敵人殘酷的審訊下。這位女仆真是值得給予一大筆錢作為對(duì)她的回報(bào)。7. A Fair Competition公平的比賽Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics. But 1._(fair) is the basis of this motto. Only 2._ you win fairly will you and your homeland deserve the great glory. But nowadays, 3._(like) the ancient honest slave competitors, some 4._(hope) athletes who cant bear the pain of training cheat when 5._(take) part in games. Medals seem to have magical power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has replaced the motto as their only goal. So, in the gymnastics event 6._( hold) in our city next month, one of the hosts 7._(responsible) is 8._(keep) competitions fair. They advertised on posters outside the stadium to promise that every competitor is to have a regular physical examination in a gymnasium one 9._ another. No one can bargain on this. The volunteers in charge will be very strict. It is 10._(fool) to cheat because they will not be admitted to compete and will even be fined as well. “更快！更高！更強(qiáng)！”代表著奧運(yùn)精神。但是公平卻是這一格言的基礎(chǔ)。只有當(dāng)你公平地贏得比賽，你和你的祖國(guó)才會(huì)承受這樣的光榮。但如今，不像古代那些誠(chéng)實(shí)的奴隸參賽者，有些沒有希望的運(yùn)動(dòng)員無法承受訓(xùn)練的痛苦，于是在參加比賽時(shí)作假。獎(jiǎng)牌似乎有某種魔力使他們作假，獎(jiǎng)金也已經(jīng)代替了奧運(yùn)格言成為了他們唯一的目標(biāo)。因此，在我們市下個(gè)月即將舉行的一場(chǎng)體操賽事中，主辦方的其中一項(xiàng)責(zé)任就是要確保比賽的公平。他們?cè)隗w育場(chǎng)外的海報(bào)上做廣告，承諾說每個(gè)參賽者都將在體育館一個(gè)一個(gè)地參加常規(guī)的身體檢查。對(duì)此沒有人可以討價(jià)還價(jià)。負(fù)責(zé)此事的志愿者將非常嚴(yán)格。作假是很愚蠢的，因?yàn)樗麄儗⒉槐辉试S去競(jìng)賽，甚至還將被罰款。 8. Computers電腦The goal of early calculating machines was 1._( simplify) difficult sums. But 2._ the help of new technology, electronic chips replaced tubes and a revolution of artificial 3._(intelligent) has arisen. From then on, the 4._(appear) of computers totally changed our lives. They can not only download information from the web when 5._(connect) by the network or mobile phone signals, but also solve different types of 6._(logic) problems. With operators as their coaches, they can even control rockets to explore the moon and instruct androids with the human races characters 7._(mop) floors and watch over your naughty niece. Anyhow, computers are 8._ helpful that they do bring happiness. 9._, computers are easily attacked by viruses. This reality has become a hard-to-deal-with problem. As a result, computers are dangerous in a way. So, 10._(person), I worry about their universal applications in some fields, such as finance. 早期計(jì)算機(jī)器的目的是簡(jiǎn)化比較難的計(jì)算。但是在新技術(shù)的幫助下，電子芯片代替了電子管，一場(chǎng)人工智能革命由此掀起。從那時(shí)起，電腦的出現(xiàn)完全改變了我們的生活，它們不僅能在網(wǎng)絡(luò)或移動(dòng)電話信號(hào)的連接下從網(wǎng)上下載信息，而且可以解決各種類型的邏輯問題。在操作員的教練下，它們甚至還可以控制火箭探索月球，指導(dǎo)具有人類性格的機(jī)器人擦洗地板和照顧你調(diào)皮的侄女。不管怎么說，電腦都是如此的有用，以致的確給人們帶來了快樂。然而，電腦很容易受到病毒的攻擊，這一現(xiàn)實(shí)已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)難以處理的難題，結(jié)果，電腦在某種程度上是很危險(xiǎn)的。因此，就個(gè)人而言，我很擔(dān)心電腦在某些領(lǐng)域，例如金融方面的廣泛應(yīng)用。 9. Wildlife Protection保護(hù)野生動(dòng)植物Dinosaurs died 1._ because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just because humans do harm to it. For example, tigers2._(hunt) for fur to make carpets so that they can only live in secure reserves; grassland is destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being3. _(affect) distant cities.Last year, scientists saw some monkeys rubbing themselves with a certain kind of insects to protect 4. _ from fierce mosquitoes 5._(bite). According to the result of the 6. _(inspect), they found that the insect contains a 7._(power) drug, so local farmers were employed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insects disappeared from the whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans, the farmers burst into 8._(laugh) and9. _(respond), “Our real loss is our decreasing income.”We should appreciate the natural balance and pay more attention to the importance of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in l0._(let) wildlife live in peace, can we smile in relief. 恐龍因一次意外事件而滅絕，但是今天的野生動(dòng)植物卻是因?yàn)槿祟惖膫ΧЩ蛱幵谖ｋU(xiǎn)中。例如，老虎被獵殺以獲取做地毯的皮毛，以致它們只能生活在安全的保護(hù)區(qū)里；草地被毫不憐憫地破壞，以致沙塵暴開始影響遙遠(yuǎn)的城市。去年，科學(xué)家觀察到猴子在身上擦某種昆蟲來保護(hù)自己不受兇猛的蚊子的叮咬。根據(jù)檢查的結(jié)果，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種昆蟲含有一種具有強(qiáng)大效力的藥物，于是，當(dāng)?shù)氐霓r(nóng)民都被雇來抓蟲子。結(jié)果是，這種昆蟲從這整個(gè)地區(qū)都消失了。當(dāng)被告知說這是整個(gè)人類的損失時(shí)，農(nóng)民們都突然大笑著回應(yīng)道：“我們減少的收入才是我們真正的損失呢！”我們應(yīng)該意識(shí)到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生動(dòng)植物的保護(hù)。直到我們成功讓野生動(dòng)植物安詳平靜地生活，我們自己才能如釋重負(fù)地笑開顏。 10. My First Band我的第一支樂隊(duì)I was very sensitive 1._ music. Just 2._(dip) into the music books briefly, I could sing or play well. To be honest, I always dreamt of 3._(become) a famous folk actor. I was so confident 4._I never decreased my devotion.I 5._(form) my first band called “Rolling Frog”. At the beginning, we relied 6._performing on instruments in pubs or to 7._(passer-by)to earn extra money in cash. Then we wore false beards to pretend to be the musicians8._ people were familiar with. In addition, we attached 9._(humor) acts to our performances and played jokes on each other. Soon, our “funny jazz” became famous and 10._(invite) to perform for broadcast stations began to come. Afterwards, we sorted out attractive music and made a record in a studio. A million or so copies were sold and we became millionaires.It was painful 11._ the band broke up finally. But above all, I realized my dream to be a musician. 我對(duì)音樂很敏感，只要簡(jiǎn)要地瀏覽一下樂譜，我就能演唱或演奏得很好。說實(shí)話，我一直都?jí)粝胫艹蔀槌雒拿耖g演員，自信的我從未減少過熱愛。我組成的第一支樂隊(duì)叫做“搖滾蛙”。開始，我們依靠在酒吧里或向路人表演樂器來掙些零花的現(xiàn)金。然后我們帶上假胡子假扮人們熟悉的音樂家，除此之外，我們?cè)诒硌葜屑由嫌哪膭?dòng)作，互相開著玩笑。很快，我們的“滑稽爵士樂”出了名，到廣播電臺(tái)表演的邀請(qǐng)開始多起來。隨后，我們把我們吸引人的音樂做了分類，在一間音樂工作室錄制了1張唱片，大約賣出了100萬張，這使我們都成了百萬富翁。樂隊(duì)最終的解散讓我很心痛，但最重要的是，我實(shí)現(xiàn)了自己當(dāng)音樂家的夢(mèng)想。11. An Interesting Festival 有趣的節(jié)日The Agricultural Feast takes place after the Independence Day. It is not a worldwide 1._(celebrate). Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its 2._(arrive) for its 3._(religion) origin:Long ago, humans ancestors were bad. They fooled and played tricks 4._ each other and never kept their word. So God turned up and drowned all their crops. Humans starved day and night, 5._(weep). In order to gain Gods forgiveness, a woman poet set off to see God. She admired God and kept 6._(apologize). God was moved. With his permission, humans finally had good harvests again. So, to wipe sadness and remind themselves 7._ the belief in God, people began the festival.On the festival, people gather in open air, such as playgrounds or parking lots, and 8._( energetic) have fun with each other all night long, as though they were never tired. When a beauty dressed up in lovely clothing 9._(read) poems in memory of the poet, everyone holds their breath. Then, it is the custom that the bone of a rooster head 10._(give) to her as an award. Obviously, the story is not true, but the festival is interesting.農(nóng)業(yè)盛會(huì)在獨(dú)立日后舉行。它不是一個(gè)世界性的慶典，由于它的宗教起源，只有墨西哥的基督徒才盼著節(jié)日的到來：很久以前，人類的祖先很壞，他們互相欺騙，耍詭計(jì)，從不遵守諾言。于是，上帝出現(xiàn)了，淹死了他們所有的作物。人們?nèi)找拱ゐI，哭泣著。為了獲得上帝的原諒，一位女詩人出發(fā)去見上帝。她對(duì)上帝的贊美和懷有的歉意感動(dòng)了上帝，有了他的允許，人類終于又獲得了豐收。因此，為了抹去憂傷并提醒自己對(duì)上帝的信仰，人們開始舉辦這個(gè)節(jié)日。在節(jié)日那天，人們聚集在露天場(chǎng)所，例如操場(chǎng)或停車場(chǎng)，通宵達(dá)旦地玩得非常開心，精力充沛的人們似乎不知疲倦。當(dāng)一位用可愛的衣服盛裝打扮的美女朗讀詩歌以紀(jì)念那位詩人時(shí)，在場(chǎng)的每個(gè)人都屏住了呼吸，然后，按照風(fēng)俗，將獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)給她一只公雞的頭骨。很明顯，這個(gè)故事不是真的，但是節(jié)日卻很有趣。12. Balanced Diet平衡膳食Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, 1._ served delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic. But his food and discount attracted fewer and fewer customers. Finally, he was 2._ debt. Yong Huis slimming restaurant served fresh peas, carrots, eggplants, and raw cucumbers with vinegar. As the 3. _(host), she said fibres benefited customers digestion the most. In order not to let Yong Hui get away with 4._(tell) lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui despite her glare. But he was surprised that she was losing her customers, too.5._(curious) drove Wang Peng to consult an expert. The expert sighed and said, “Both of your menus have weakness and 6. _(limit) strength. Your customers put on weight too easily,7. _ Yong Huis lose weight too quickly. So, Wang Peng, cut 8._ the fat of your food and increase vegetables and fruits, like nuts, beans, mushrooms, peaches and lemons. You ought to combine the two menus and provide a 9._(balance) diet.”Before long, Wang Peng 10._(win) his customers back.王鵬經(jīng)營(yíng)一家燒烤餐廳來謀生，他的餐廳供應(yīng)美味的臘肉、油炸的雞胸，還有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。但是，他的食物和折扣吸引的顧客越來越少，最后是他負(fù)債累累。永慧的減肥餐廳供應(yīng)的是新鮮的豌豆、紅蘿卜、茄子和醋腌的生黃瓜。作為老板娘（女主人），她總是說食物纖維才最有利于顧客的消化。為了不讓永慧說了謊不受懲罰，王鵬不顧她的怒視，前去探查個(gè)究竟。但是讓他驚奇的是，永慧的顧客也在嚴(yán)重地流失。好奇心驅(qū)使王鵬去咨詢專家。那位專家嘆息著說：“你們倆的菜單都缺點(diǎn)明顯、優(yōu)點(diǎn)有限。你的顧客很容易就發(fā)胖，而永慧的顧客體重卻減輕得太快。所以嘛，王鵬，你要減少你的食物中的脂肪含量，增加蔬菜和水果，例如堅(jiān)果、豆類、蘑菇、桃子和檸檬之類。你應(yīng)該把兩份菜單結(jié)合起來，給顧客提供平衡的膳食?！辈痪茫貔i就贏回了他的顧客。13.
