2014届高考英语一轮复习全方位配套训练人教版必修一Unit 2 English around the World阅读理解3

2014届高考英语一轮复习全方位配套训练人教版必修一Unit 2 English around the World阅读理解3 第Ⅲ组 A Canadian English 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 all-purpose 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 2.According to the passage，which group of words is all in American form? A.Billboard，gas，blinds and braces. B.Hoarding，petrol，porridge and tap
