Without idioms English would lose much of its variety and humor both in speech and writing. In the old days the written language (novels, poems, plays and the Bible) was the source on which idioms were based. This was the case up until WWII. After the war new mediums had appeared in Englishspeaking society, there was a channel for the American way of life and the popular culture of the U. S. TV, movies and nowadays the interactive medium have changed the English language more to the American English direction. How then does American English differ from British English in the use of idioms? There are no radical differences in actual use. The main differences are in the situations where idiomatic expressions are used. There have been many studies recently on this subject. American English adopts and creates new idioms at a much faster rate pared to British English. Also the idioms of AmE origin seem to spread faster and further. After it has first been established(建立)in the U. S. ，an American idiom may soon be found in other variants(變體)and dialects of English. Nowadays new British idioms seem to stay on the British Isles and are rarely encountered in the U. S．. British idioms are in fact more familiar to other Europeans or to the people of the British monwealth than to Americans, even though the language is same. The future of idiomatic expressions in the English language seems certain. They are more and more based on American English. This development will continue through new mediums like the Internet and interactive mediums. It is hard to say what this will do to idioms and what kind of new idioms are created.This will be an interesting development to follow, and by no means does it lessen the humor, variety and color of English language. 語(yǔ)篇解讀：文章主要說(shuō)明了英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)的源頭和它進(jìn)一步的發(fā)展過(guò)程，還進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明了美國(guó)英語(yǔ)和英式英語(yǔ)習(xí)語(yǔ)的不同，并且對(duì)習(xí)語(yǔ)未來(lái)的發(fā)展做出了進(jìn)一步的預(yù)測(cè)。 1. Which one is the best title of the passage?

According to the passage, we can infer that ________. A．idioms usually arent created based on logical and grammatical rules B．idioms mainly e form the written language nowadays C．American English creates more new idioms than American D．British idioms are more important than American idioms 解析：選A。推理判斷題。關(guān)鍵句為第一段第一句話(huà)，習(xí)語(yǔ)是不遵循邏輯和語(yǔ)法規(guī)則的，由此可推斷出A項(xiàng)正確。 3.

A．be used all over the world B．be laughed at by British people C．be found used in England also D．be used only in the United States 解析：選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容尤其是此段中第七句話(huà)的內(nèi)容，得知美國(guó)習(xí)語(yǔ)的傳播速度非常的快和廣，很快就能傳到英國(guó)，因此C項(xiàng)正確。 B A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has e up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species. The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants － the Asian elephant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant. [ Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons, the team pared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths. The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths.This result amazed all the scientists. There has long been debate in the scientific munity that the two might be separate species, but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species. Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species, despite the elephants significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA. Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, said，“ We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should bee a bigger priority (優(yōu)先) for conservation purposes.” 5．One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________. 　 A．the Asian elephant B．the forest elephant C．the savanna elephant D．the mastodon elephant 解析：選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons... 可知答案為D。 6．The underlined word “ divergence” in Paragraph 4 means “ ______”. A．evolution B．exhibition C．separation D．examination 解析：選C。詞義猜測(cè)題。前面一句講到了這兩種大象分離成不同的物種已有數(shù)百萬(wàn)年了，由此可判斷divergence 在此是“ 分離”之意。 7．The researchers conclusion was based on a study of the African elephants ______. A．DNA B．height C．weight D．population 解析：選A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句可知研究人員的結(jié)論是在檢測(cè)非洲大象DNA 的基礎(chǔ)上得出來(lái)的。 8．What are Alfred Rocas words mainly about? A．The conservation of African elephants. B．The purpose of studying African elephants. C．The way to divide African elephants into two units. D．The reason for the distinction of African elephants. 解析：選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知Alfred Roca 的話(huà)主要講的是對(duì)不同的非洲大象要分別采取不同的保護(hù)措施。
