第2题

The British show a great love for the countryside and it is really nice and beautiful. A lot of people dream (梦想) about living in the countryside, to enjoy the quiet and the air. Today, many people, both old and young, make the dream come true. But most people have to live in a town or city because that is where the work is.

People of a city are often proud (自豪的) of living in it. People of Manchester believes that there is no better city than Manchester; people of Liverpool feel the same way about Liverpool. Outsiders and passing travelers may be interested in what the difference is between one city and another. Maybe they remember Newcastle because of its bridge over the River Tyne, or Liverpool because of its docks (码头). There is one difference which most people can hear; that is the different ways of speaking and also some words which are used only in one place. In Newcastle, for example, "hoy" is used instead of "throw", and "marra" instead of "friend", as is shown in the sentence "Hoy the ball to me", and "He's my marra at work in the factory."

Where do many British people hope to live to stay away from noises and dirty air?

A．In big cities.

B．In small towns.

C．In the countryside.

第3题

Someone once marked that the British and the Americans are two peoples separated by the same language. Most epigrams exaggerate for effect, and this one is no exception. But it is, nevertheless, undeniably true that some commonly used words mean different things in these two countries. Consider the seemingly simple term--"the government".

To parliamentarians trained in British terminology "the government" means the cabinet: a group of the legislature's own members, chosen by it to devise public policies, to manage the legislature's major activities, and to exercise executive powers. In theory, at least, the government continues in office only so long as it commands the support of the legislature. Losing that support, it may be turned out of power at almost any moment.

When Americans say "the government", they mean some thing quite different: It connotes the whole governmental structure-- executive, legislative and judicial. Americans assume a situation in which the branches of government are deliberately separated and in which the powers of each check and balance those of the other.

Another difference between the U. S. and parliamentary systems concerns the concept of "political party". In the British tradition, a political party connotes a group relatively cohesive in ideology and disciplined in action. Playwright William S. Gilbert's satirical line that remembers of parliament "vote just as their leaders tell 'em to" is not as accurate as it once was, but it is still close enough to the mark.

In contrast, the two major U. S. political parties are vast, sprawling, decentralized conglomerations of varied ideological positions whose members do not feel obliged to vote the way the party leaders tell them to do. In fact, most members come to Congress as independent entrepreneurs, willing to go along with party policy only to the extent that it does not conflict with what they perceive to be the wishes and interests of their constituencies.

The main ideas of the passage is that ______.

A．the British and the Americans are two peoples separated by the same language

B．commonly used words mean different things in Britain and the U.S.

C．there are great differences in the political systems in Britain and the U.S.

D．there are great differences in terminology in Britain and the U.S.
