American and British people both speak English of course.But sometimes it does not seem like the same language.In fact，there are some important differences between British English and American English.
（1）DDOften，Americans don't say each word separately.They say several words together.Americans may say "I dunno" instead of "I don't know".Or they may say "Whaddya say？" instead of "What did you say？" However，the British are more careful in their speech.They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English.Words sometimes have different meanings too. （2）CCAmericans drive trucks，but in England people drive lorries.
（3）EEIn England，if you are going to telephone your friends，you "phone them up".In America，you "give them a call".
There are also some differences in grammar.For example，Americans usually use the helping verb "do" when they ask a question.They say "Do you have a storybook？" But the British often leave out the helping verb. （4）AA
Most languages are like this.Languages change over time.When people live in separate places，the languages change in different ways.This is what has happened to English.It can also happen to other languages，such as French.Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.

| A.They say "Have you a storybook？" B.It can also happen to other languages，such as French. C.For example，the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. D.First of all，they sound very different. E.Many expressions are also different in the two countries. |

2．Cycads（蘇鐵）grow in warm places．They are tall and green all year round．Their leaves grow on the top and flowers seldom come out．Some have bright orange fruits．They usually need hundreds of years to grow into adult plants．
Cycads are facing problems now．In South Africa，the situation of cycads is getting terrible，but this has drawn little attention from the public．"In fact，there are 38 kinds of cycads in South Africa．Among them，2 kinds have disappeared since 2003 and 25 kinds are in great danger，"said a gardener．"Do you know what the loneliest plant is in the world？It is Wood's Cycad．Someone found it in a forest in 1895．It is the only one of its kind．"
So what causes cycads to be in danger？Surprisingly，the danger is from the people who love them most．These slow-growing adult cycads even sell for tens of thousands of dollars each．As time goes by，they have become a symbol（象征）of wealth and position（ 地位）in society．This makes cycad lovers want to own more．Cycad lovers buy and plant them in their private gardens．As a result，nearly all these cycads die because the living conditions have changed．
Recently，South African government has taken some actions to protect cycads from being stolen traded．At the same time，people around the world should also work together to protect the plants．
（1）The flowers of Cycads come out once a year．
（2）The cycad lovers cause cycads to be in danger．
（3）The Wood's Cycad found in 1895 is the only one of its kind．

3．If you look at the top of your phone，you'll usually see a little symbol that says 3 G or 4 G. （1）
But these symbols will become things of the past after 5 G networks fully arrive.
On March 30，2019，Shanghai vice mayor Wu Qing made the first 5 G video call on a Huawei Mate X Smartphone.（2）About 100 times faster than 4 G networks，5 G will let people download（下載）and upload data（數(shù)據(jù)）faster than ever before.But 5 G won't just bring faster mobile internet.（3）
For example，5 G will help to make self-driving cars safer.Today's self-driving test cars have one problem-lag（延 遲）.When the car"sees"an obstacle（障礙物），it sends this information to a data center and receives instructions.（4）With this kind of lag，the cars might hit each other because they don't receive instructions in time.With 5 G，this lag will be greatly lowered，making the cars safer.
5 G could also be used to help the internet of things（IOT物聯(lián)網(wǎng)）.IOT is a large online network that connects all things and people.Fast internet speeds will be the key to developing this technology.（5）For example，with IOT，your refrigerator could automatically（自動地）place an order online for eggs when it finds that there are no eggs left inside.
A.Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5 G networks.
B.5 G will help us buy eggs quickly.
C.People can use it for many other things as well.
D.However，it takes time to send and receive this information.
E.The"G"is the"generation（代）"of your mobile network.
F.The IOT could be used in a lot of ways.
G.5 G networks are much faster than 4 G or3 G.發(fā)布：2024/12/27 6:30:1組卷：25引用：2難度：0.4
