There are many differences between British English and American English. I used to teach a course about the differences between the two. We speak English on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean but we have many differences in our common language. We have examples of the same words having very different meanings，differing spellings of the same words as well as completely different words for the same things. Here are some examples.

A cookie in the US is called a biscuit in the UK.A biscuit in the US is a small cake in the UK. Crisps in the UK，are known as chips，but we British people eat a plate of chips that you call fries in the US. In the UK，a pie can be made from either meat or fruit，while in the US pies are normally made from fruit；pot pies are made from meat. Most things are measured in grams and kilograms in the US，not pounds and ounces.

One very obvious(明显的)difference is the side of the road we each choose to drive on. Petrol in the UK is gas in the US. The place where we fill up our cars，in the UK，is a garage；while in the US，it’s a gas station. The term garage is also used as a place to store your car next to or close by your house. In the UK we call a lorry what is known as a truck in the US.

An elevator in the US is called a lift here，and the first floor in the US，is called the ground floor here，so many visitors get off on the wrong floor in British hotels.

I could continue with this. There are countless examples of differences within our one shared language. With so many differences，no wonder it’s hard to understand each other well.

1.The passage is mainly about the differences between British English and American English in________.

A.vocabulary B.grammar

C.sound D.spelling

2.It’s implied in the passage that the author may be________.

A.a driver from the US B.a cook from the US

C.a teacher from the UK D.a gas station worker from the UK

3.In the author’s opinion，________.

A.language differences don’t affect understanding

B.the same words in the two different types of English may have different spellings

C.there will be fewer differences between American and British English in the future

D.it is impossible that some Americans get off on the wrong floor in British hotels

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.“Elevator” is commonly used in the UK.

B.Pies mean the same thing in the UK and the US.

C.In the UK，things are measured in pounds and ounces.

D.British and American people drive on the same side of the road.

In the far corner of the front yard of a large house in Florida rests an RV—Recreational Vehicle( 活动房屋式旅游车), shaded by trees as clothing on a nearby line sways(摇动) in the breeze. In this RV, National Geographic explorer Thomas Culhane lives with his wife, Enas, almost entirely off the grid—a lifestyle without depending on electricity supply.

Culhane began living off the grid in the late 1990s, when he went into the basement of his apartment building in Los Angeles and pulled the plug that delivered electricity. Even earlier though, he was first inspired by sustainable(不破坏生态平衡的) living during a trip in 1970 to visit his relatives. He was eight years old and worried that his stay in their small village was going to be miserable because his relatives told him they had no air conditioning or electricity— but they had plenty of fresh fruits from orchards (果园) and lots of cold drinks chilled by the icy stream from the ice caps of the nearby mountain. “This is amazing,”says Culhane.

He met Enas when she was living in an ecovillage in Portugal. Enas said she liked the feeling of being low impact, of being harmless to the earth. Culhane was attracted and fell in love with her. The couple got married, living on the same property(财产) that they currently have. They moved into their first home together—an RV which they immediately took completely off-grid.

Inside their RV, Culhane and Enas have hot showers, a working gas stove, a refrigerator, a washing machine and a big screen TV. They use gas created by their on-site biodigesters (生物煮解器) to cook on a gas-powered stove. They also use energy created by the biodigesters to heat their bath water. They feed the biodigesters using their own food waste— at no additional cost to the earth.

Sometimes on weekends, the RV is turned into a classroom. The couple host workshops to let the community members and students know living an off-grid life is getting easier and teach them how to respect and coexist peacefully with the environment.

1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A.Add some background information.

B.Summarize the previous paragraph.

C.Provide some advice for the readers.

D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.

2.What attracted Culhane most when he first met Enas?

A.Her marriage property. B.Their common life belief.

C.The beauty of her ecovillage. D.Her experience of exploration.

3.What do the biodigesters produce?

A.Food waste. B.Additional costs.

C.Greenhouse gases. D.Alternative(可供选择的) energy

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.An RV Classroom

B.Living off the Grid

C.Getting Close to Nature

D.Protecting the Environment

Plenty of science fiction (sci-f) movies over the decades have shown us different versions of Mars. The truth about the Martian surface might be exciting because it's real. And with NASA' s Mars 2020 mission set to launch this summer, we're facing more discovery.

So far, thanks to a decade of research enabled by NASA's Curiosity rover, we've learned that lakes, rivers streams and likely oceans used to appear on Mars. While its water disappeared over three billion years ago, it tells us that Mars used to be habitable. This knowledge confuses us because so far, we've seen no clear evidence of life there, not even a virus. But if Mars was once habitable, wouldn't it have life?

NASA is now prepared to take the next step to answer this question with the launch of another rover, Perseverance. Every time a rover goes to Mars, it just stays there, with no way to fly back home. So we have never brought rock or soil samples back from Mars.

Perseverance rover will change this. Its primary and unique purpose is to collect samples that a future spacecraft can return to Earth. These samples will tell us more about the geologic history of Mars than anything we've learned, which is already a lot. Since 2012. the Curiosity rover has traveled more than a dozen miles, making observations along the way with its 10 instruments.

Thanks to data from the Curiosity rovers Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, we know that Mars does indeed have organic materials. That’s more complex than we expected to find on the surface of Mars. And that's exactly why we want to gather the most interesting samples and bring them back to Earth. We expect to find out much more about Mars once we get samples back from the Mars 2020 mission.

1.What is the purpose of Mars 2020 Mission?

A.To explore the Martian surface. B.To travel around the universe.

C.To show the power of NASA. D.To study the life on Mars.

2.What does the underlined word "habitable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Enjoyable to visit. B.Suitable for living.

C.Ready for changes. D.Convenient to travel.

3.What was the problem with Mars exploration before Perseverance?

A.The rovers could not reach Mars.

B.Observations were hard to make.

C.Samples on Mars couldn't be brought back.

D.Study instruments got lost in the space station.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A.New Mars rover to be launched B.Sei-fi movies on Mars to be made

C.Curiosity to bring back Mars samples D.NASA to send manned rover to Mars
