15、tead答案：本文是一篇说明文。尽管美国是世界上最强大的讲英语的国家，但世界上大部分地区说的却是英国英语。1解析：虽然美国是说英语的国家中最强大的国家，但世界上大多数(most)地区教授的英语却是英国英语。答案：B2解析：根据前后句的语境可知，此处应用Besides“除此之外”。答案：C3解析：分析句子结构可知，此处是由“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句，由介词upon可知，应选based。be based on/upon意为“以为根据，以为基础”。答案：D4解析：事实上，大多数美国人喜欢英国人说英语的方式。in fact“事实上，实际上”；above all“最重要的是”，in all“总计，总
16、共”；after all“毕竟，终究”。根据语境可知用in fact。答案：B5解析：许多美国人视英国为“母国”，包括(including) 些没有英国血统的美国人也是如此。 答案：A6解析：根据上题解析可知，此处应用them指代一些没有英国血统的美国人。答案：C7解析：根据空格后面的“any difficulty at all”可知，此处应用without，表示美国人读英国文学作品毫无困难。答案：B8解析：根据空后的either和上文中的“any difficulty at all”可知，此处应选D。have no problem意为“没有困难”。答案：D9解析：根据But可知，此处表示转折
17、。在过去的五十年里美国人创造了大量的新词和新短语。invent“发明，创造”。答案：C10解析：由下文中的“However，there are sometimes misunderstandings”可知，此处为其中许多新词和新短语已经引起英国及整个讲英语的地区的注意。答案：A11解析：根据下文中的“I havent bathed for years”“the water at home is always so cold”及“In British English, it meansgo swimming”可知，此处应是在加利福尼亚的海边，故选D。答案：D12解析：根据空前的“Is that
18、so”可知，此处为“我不敢相信”，表示惊讶或震惊。答案：B13解析：分析上下文可知，此处表转折关系。答案：C14解析：根据下文中的“In British English，it means go swimming”可知，此处是与British English相对应，故选B。答案：B15解析：根据上文中所述的美国英语和英国英语中bathe一词的不同意思可知，此处表示在有关pants这个词上也会出现类似的(similar)误解。答案：A16解析：尽管大多数的英国人知道美国人称trousers为pants。故选D。答案：D17解析：美国女孩说她从不穿裤子，因为裤子不适合她。但英国女孩却误认为美国女孩不
19、穿内裤，引起误解。suit侧重符合某人的口味或服装颜色、款式等的相配或适合。fit往往强调尺寸、大小或形状上的吻合。match多指两个物体大小、色调、形状、性质等方面很相配，显得很协调或在能力、水平上相配。equal“比得上”。答案：A18解析：联系上下文语境可知，此处表示询问原因。故选C。答案：C19解析：根据下文中的“Oh，my! But I wear panties(女式短裤)”可知，此处表示英国女孩误会了，认为美国女孩穿短裙时也不穿内裤。答案：D20解析：然而英国的年轻人有时确实将trousers说成pants。for作介词时可表示“意思是”，而by“靠近”，in“在内”显然与语境不符
