B Once a New Zealand teacher asked where...

B

Once a New Zealand teacher asked where I live. “In the white building,” I answered.

“At our university both girls and boys live in the same dormitory.” I added.

Beyond my expectation(出乎意料), however, my attempt(努力)to show I am speaking American English(AE) turned out to be something else. The New Zealander seemed very puzzled(迷惑)at my answer.

With a half smile, she asked, “Really?Do they live in the same room?”

“Oh, no. They live in different rooms but in the same building.” I reacted(反应)quickly.

Later I got to know the word “dormitory”. In AE it means one building, whereas(而,却)it means one room in  British English(BE).

The New Zealander misunderstood me because she spoke New Zealander English(NE), which, as we know, is much related to BE.

Nowadays, not a few English learners, who try to catch up with the fashion(时髦), choose to speak AE.

Yet, the problem is that they cannot speak pure AE, but half AE and half BE instead.

I think it necessary to keep one style in order to avoid(避免)misunderstanding.

61、Which of the following is right?

A、AE and BE are two different languages.

B、There are some differences between AE and BE.

C、New Zealanders speak BE.

D、New Zealanders cannot understand Americans.

62、What I said to the New Zealander is    .

A、really pure AE                 B、really pure BE    

C、half AE and  half BE          D、not English at all

63、According to the passage ,    .

A、few people speak AE         B、more people speak BE

C、BE is becoming fashionable    D、AE is becoming fashionable

64、The writer wrote the passage in order to    .

A、tell us a funny story

B、warn us not to make  mistakes

C、tell us the differences between AE and BE

D、encourage us to speak one style of English
