3．Language experts say that spoken English was almost the same in the American colonies and Britain two hundred years ago.Americans began to change the sound of their speech after the Revolutionary War in 1776.They wanted to make it different to separate themselves from the British in language，in the same way they separated themselves from the British government.
Some American leaders proposed（建議）major changes in the language.Benjamin Franklin wanted a whole new system of spelling.His reforms（改革）were not accepted.But his ideas did influence others.One was Noah Webster.
Webster wrote language books for schools.He believed the United States should have a system of its own language as well as government.Webster published a dictionary of the American language in 1828.It established rules for speaking and spelling the words used in American English.
Webster wrote that all words should be said in the order of the letters that spell them.This is why Americans use the letters "e-r" to end many words instead of the British "r-e".He spelled the word "center，" for example，"c-e-n-t-e-r"，instead of the British "c-e-n-t-r-e."
Webster's rule for saying every part of a word made American English easier for foreign settlers to learn.They learned to say "waist-coat"，for example，the way it is spelled instead of the British "wes-kit".
The different languages of many people who came to the United States also helped make American and British English different.Many of their foreign words and expressions became part of English as Americans speak them.
Sometimes Americans and British people do not understand each other because of different word meanings.For example，the word "jumper" in Britain means a sweater.In the United States，it is a dress.The British word "brolly" is an "umbrella" in America.And the British call potato chips "crisps".All of these differences led British writer George Bernard Shaw to joke that Britain and America are two countries separated by the same language!
（1）What does the underlined word "it" in the first paragraph refer to？
A．Separating themselves from the British in language.
B．Written English in America.
C．Spoken English in America.
D．Spoken English in Britain.
（2）Why did American want their language to differ from British English？
A．Because they found British English hard to speak.
B．Because they found British English hard to spell.
C．Because they wanted to have their own language and government.
D．Because foreign settlers wanted them to change their language.
（3）Why do Americans use the word "meter" instead of the word "metre"？
A．Because Benjamin Franklin didn't like the word "metre".
B．Because the word "meter" was absorbed from other languages.
C．Because Webster thought the word should be said in the order of the letters that are spelt.
D．Because Webster thought American English should be made easier for foreign settlers to learn.
（4）Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why English began to change in America？
A．The government leaders.
B．Noah Webster.
C．Immigration to America.
D．The difficulty Americans had in understanding the British.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.6 -
4．I was once told，"You are wasting your time on a career that will give you no money or comfort."
I explored my interests for years and finally decided to be a journalist.However，I'm still influenced by others' arguments：print publications are being replaced by web versions where content is updated nearly every time you refresh the browser.But I hold onto my decision.Why？For the simple，yet powerful reason is that it makes me happy in a way that no amount of money ever could.
Rarely have I found others who think like this，and I find it very disappointing when I hear students trying to design their lives on the basis of factors（因素）other than keeping to their passions and interests.
Factor number one is parents.They certainly have a right to be a part in their children's lives，but sometimes their words create more stress than encouragement.Instead of trying to make their children happy，as their original purpose may have been，parents can end up limiting their children's dreams and desires until nothing remains but the hard seeds of a cruel reality.
The second factor is money.I had a conversation with my college friend one afternoon，which explains this point.
"What happened？" I asked him after he said he had changed his major."I thought you wanted to be a photographer."
"I do，" he said，"But there is no money in it.""Don't worry，" he added，probably feeling my worry."I'm happy where I am." I was ready to believe that，but as we kept on talking，he continuously interrupted me to point out the beauty of this view and that view，saying he wished he had taken his camera with him.
Naturally，we cannot predict where we will end up with our choices.Our ideas and plans could change as we progress.However，at this stage in our lives when so many voices are telling us who we should be，we need to value our individual dreams，not to abandon them，because they may be the only things left that tell us who we are.
（1）Why is the author determined to be a journalist？
A．He could get a high pay.
B．He is influenced by others.
C．He is truly interested in journalism.
D．He has been studying journalism for years.
（2）What does the author think of parents' role in their children's career choice？
A．They shouldn't try to influence their children in any way.
B．They help their children make the right choice of a career.
C．They should support their children whatever they choose.
D．They may destroy their children's dreams of a certain career.
（3）What do we know about the author's friend？
A．He doesn't care about what his job will bring him.
B．He is still deeply interested in photography.
C．He has lost his confidence in his abilities.
D．He is doubtful about his new choice.
（4）The author thinks that when choosing a career，.
A．one should not consider their individual dreams
B．one should take a lot of factors into consideration
C．one's desires and interests should come first
D．one should be realistic about future income組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5
