　　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 meeting 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.

　　1．What does the underlined word“distinguishing”mean in Paragraph 3?

　　A．different

　　B．same

　　C．short

　　D．missing

　　答案　A　[由下文的例子看出此处意为“不同的，多样的”。]

　　2．According to the passage，which group of words is all in American form?

　　A．Billboard，gas，blinds，braces.

　　B．Hoarding，petrol，porridge，tap.

　　C．Truck，wrench，shades，suspenders.

　　D．Lorry，spanner，oatmeal，faucet.

　　答案　C　[由第一段可知。]

　　3．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

　　A．Dutch is one of the official languages in South Africa.

　　B．Zulu is one of the official languages in South Africa.

　　C．Less than 10% of the South African people speak English as their second language.

　　D．More than 10% of the South African people speak English as their mother tongue.

　　答案　B　[由第2段前两句可知。]

　　4．How many distinguishing features of Indian English grammar are mentioned in the passage?

　　A．2

　　B．3

　　C．4

　　D．5

　　答案　D　[由第3段可知。]

　　B

　　This happened several years ago.But it has stuck with me so I wanted to share it.

　　Every day on my way to work I would buy a newspaper from an elderly gentleman on the corner of the street.He would always smile and say，“Good morning.”His smile always made my day.

　　Most of the people who sell these papers are homeless or poor and they do it to make a few bucks.

　　One

　　day Charlie wasn't there！Someone else was in his place! This other guy told me Charlie was in the veterans' hospital.

　　It troubled me all day long.All I could think about was Charlie being alone in the hospital.I never knew he was a veteran who had served our country.I just knew his smile always made my day.

　　I asked my girlfriend if she would go with me to visit him and she agreed.When I showed up in Charlie's room he began to cry.He told us he had been feeling very lonely and was convinced no one would ever visit him.He said that we were his only visitors.

　　We told him we were glad to do it and thanked him for all that he had done for others.

　　I never saw Charlie after that，although I heard he moved to California.That was thirty years ago but I haven't forgotten my smiling friend.A big thank­you to those who serve our country and protect us and thank you Charlie，wherever you are!

　　B．Because the doctor didn't treat him well.
