In Scotland, men wear a kind of skirt called a kilt. The kilt is their national dress and an important part of their tradition. ‎ ‎ A kilt is a colored skirt reaching down to the knee. It has checks （格子）on it with different colors, like red or blue. Each family in Scotland has its own colors. ‎ ‎ How did the Scots start to wear kilts? There are many stories about it. One story is that the kilt was invented in the 1720s by an English factory owner, Thomas Rawlinson. ‎ ‎ Rawlinson had a number of Scottish workers in his factory and he thought their clothing got in the way of their work. So he cut their long clothes into a shorter skirt. ‎ ‎ Today, most Scotsmen see kilts as formal dress. They usually only wear them at weddings or big dinners. There are only a few men who still wear a kilt every day. ‎ ‎ Scots also wear kilts in parades （游行）when they play their traditional musical instrument: bagpipes （风笛）. The army still has kilts as the dress uniform, but they no longer wear them to fight. ‎ ‎（ ）58. A kilt is ________. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎（ ）59.

In fact, there are some important differences between British and American English. ‎ ‎ First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word especially the sounds like “t”and “d”. However, the British usually pronounce their consonants （辅音）more carefully. ‎ ‎ Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a”in “half”like the ‎ ‎“a”in “cat”, but the British say the “a”in “half”like the “o”in “soft”. The “r”is sometimes said differently, too. When an American says “farmer”, you can usually hear the “r”. But you can’t hear the “r”in British English. The British say “fahmah”.‎ ‎ Sound is not the only difference. The two languages have different words for some things, for example, the words for clothing are different. Americans use the word“sweater”, but the British say“jumper”.‎ ‎ Many expressions（短语）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”.‎ ‎ There are also some differences in grammar.‎ ‎ These differences can be confusing （令人疑惑）if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the difference. Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French, but their French is different from the French spoken in France. ‎ ‎（ ）68. What’s the main idea of the passage? ‎ ‎ A. The differences between British and American English. ‎ ‎ B. The two different languages, British and American English. ‎ ‎ C. The changes of the English language. ‎ ‎ D. Why American English is different from British English. ‎ ‎（ ）69. Which of the following is Not true? ‎ ‎ A. In American English, the “a”in the word“can’t”sounds the same as the “a”in the word “can”.‎ ‎ B. The American English is different from British English only in grammar. ‎ ‎ C. Learners of British English may have some difficulty in understanding American English. ‎ ‎ D. French is not only spoken in France but in some other countries as well.‎ ‎ ‎ 四. 方框选词。（共7分，每题1分）‎ 不用变形，直接填空 big perfect named However time made on ‎ The trendiest kind of pet these days is the pot-bellied pig.

The station was not very far from his office, and Mr. Black always went on foot, and he always went along the same street. Every evening he passed a poor man near a bridge. The man sat at the side of the road and sold matches, and there was always an old dog near him. A piece of wood was around the dog’s neck, and the words“I’m blind”were on the piece of wood. Mr. Black was a kind man. He gave him a little money, but he did not take any of his matches. ‎ ‎ Then yesterday Mr. Black had a lot of work in his office and was very late. He said: “My train always leaves at five minutes past six, and it is ten minutes to six now. I’m not going to talk to the poor man today, and I’m not going to give him anything. I’ve given him a lot of money, and I’ve never taken any of his matches, ”He came to the man and his dog, but he did not stop. He walked quickly towards the railway station.
