2019年高考英语考点汇总外研版：必修五 Module 1 British and Am(3)

I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks. Most people were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.

That was nine years ago. Every week I'll hand out as many socks as I can. If I'm on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week, I will bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and countries.

It's extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar” to help make some people's lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert out there one of these days, but even if I don't, I like to think one of the pairs will find him.

When saying or writing out numbers, the British put an and before the tens and units (个位数), as in one hundred and sixty-two or two thousand and three. In the United States it is considered correct to drop the and, as in one hundred sixty-two or two thousand three.

In counting, it is common in both varieties of English to count in hundreds up to 1,900 — so 1,200 may be twelve hundred. However, Americans use this pattern for much higher numbers than is the norm in British English, referring to twenty-four hundred where British English would most often use two thousand four hundred.

In the case of years, however, twelve thirty-four would be the norm on both sides of the Atlantic for the year 1234. The year 2000 and years beyond it are read as two thousand, two thousand (and) one by both British and American speakers. For years after 2009, twenty ten, twenty twelve etc. are becoming common.

For the house number (or bus number, etc.) 272, British people tend to say two seven two while Americans tend to say two seventy-two.

When referring to the numeral (数字) 0, British people would normally use nought, oh, or zero, although nil is common in sports scores. Americans use the term zero most

frequently; oh is also often used. When a phone or account number is being read aloud, 0 is nearly always pronounced oh in both language varieties for convenience.

When reading numbers in order, such as a telephone number or serial number (序列号), British people will usually use the term double followed by the repeated number. Thus 007 is double oh seven. Exceptions include the emergency telephone number 999, which is always nine nine nine. In the US, 911 (the US emergency telephone number) is usually read nine one one, while 9/11 (in reference to the September 11, 2001 attacks) is usually read nine eleven.

语篇解读：本文是说明文，主要介绍了英式英语和美式英语中数字读法的异同。

4．Which of the following is TRUE about British English?

A．The bus number 123 is read as one two three.

B．The house number 218 is read as two eighteen.

C．The number 2,800 is read as twenty eight hundred.

D．The year 2018 is read as twenty hundred and eighteen.

解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For the house number (or bus number, etc.)272, British people tend to say two seven two”可知A项正确。

5．British people will read the serial number 122 as ________.

A．one double two

B．one two two

C．twelve two

D．one hundred and twenty-two

解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段开头可知，在读序列数字的时候，英国人读重复的数字时常用double。结合数字007的读法，可知应选A项。

6．When an Englishman tells you his telephone number, the numeral 0 is usually read as ________.

A．nought B．oh

C．zero D．nil

解析：选B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，为了方便，电话号码和序列号里的0在两种英语中都被读作oh。

7．The text is mainly about ________.

A．how to read correctly

B．the difference between British and Americans

C．how to read numbers

D．that the number is important in western life

Shakespeare's plays fit into three kinds: tragedies (悲剧), comedies and histories. Perhaps his most famous play is the tragic story of Romeo and Juliet, which deals with two young lovers who are forbidden to marry by their parents. Other tragedies include Hamlet, a play about a vengeful (复仇的) ghost, Othello, about an army general who is controlled to kill his wife, and Macbeth. If you've seen Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, you'll recognize “hubble bubble boil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble”，which is sung in the Great Hall a …… 此处隐藏：5130字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
