①Some people say that the UK and the US are two countries that are separated by a common language. It means although both Americans and the British speak English, there are many differences in the way they use the language. Having studied in both countries, I have found the differences are more than differences such as pronunciations and spellings. A big difference is communication styles.
②I spent one term in the UK, and the biggest challenge for me was that people don't always say things directly. The British are famous for being polite. So polite, in fact, that they sometimes say the contrary of what they really mean. For example, when the British say "I almost agree", don't think they have similar opinions to you. Actually, they mean "I don't agree at all". Before I could fully understand how the British communicate, I went home.
③Later, I went to study in the US for one year. I found that Americans like to be straight with others. When I spoke to them, I often had trouble getting straight to the point. For example, when I wanted to ask for help, I liked to say, "Excuse me, I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but I seem to be lost. Would you be so kind to lend me a hand in finding my way to the nearest station?" But Americans would find it strange. They would just say, "Hey, sorry to bother you. I'm really lost and need to find the nearest station. Can you help me?" I realized I had to learn a whole new way of communicating.
④Now, I have a better understanding of how to communicate in both countries, but I still have a lot to learn. As my experiences show, learning the pronunciation and spelling of words in a language is just the beginning!

答案
Ⅱ.A 本文介绍了作者在英国和美国的学
习经历,表明英美两国在英语使用上的差异,
尤其是交流风格的不同。
1. A 词义猜测题。根据"So polite, in fact,
that they sometimes say the contrary of
what they really mean."可知,他们如此礼
貌,以至于有时会说出与他们真实想法相
反的话,故画线单词意为"相反",与
opposite意思相近。故选A。
2. C 细节理解题。根据"I spent one term
in the UK"以及"For example, when the
British ..."可知,作者通过举例展开段落。
故选C。
3. B 细节理解题。根据"Now, I have a better
understanding of how to communicate in both
countries, but I still have a lot to learn."可知,
作者仍然有很多要学的。故选B。
4. B 推理判断题。通读全文可知,第一段
引出话题,第二段和第三段介绍了自己的
经历,第四段进行总结。故选B。
5. C 主旨大意题。本文介绍了作者在英国
和美国的学习经历,表明英美两国在英语
使用上的差异,尤其是交流风格的不同,
所以选项C"英国和美国:共同的语言,不
同的风格"为最佳标题。故选C。
