Answer 1

分析 短文讲了Simon和Rick 的故事来表现英美两国文化差异．

解答 答案：54．A 细节理解题．根据第一段句子"One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend，Rick．"一天，一个叫西蒙的美国人去伦敦拜访他的朋友瑞克．可知西蒙去伦敦拜访朋友．故选A．
55．B 细节理解题．根据第一段句子"Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor．"瑞克告诉他，他的公寓在一楼．和第二段句子"The floor above the ground floor is the first floor，while Americans would call it the second floor．"一楼的地面是第一层，而美国人则称其为二楼．"可知在英式英语里ground floor是指紧贴地面的楼层．在美国它上面的一层叫做first floor，即美式英语中的the second floor"二楼"．所以Rick 应该住在二楼．结合选项，故选B．
56．C 细节理解题．根据倒数第二段句子For example，on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books． 例如，在火车上，英国人经常花时间阅读报纸或书籍．可知英国人通常在火车上看报纸或者看书来消磨时间．故选C．
57．D 词义猜测题．根据上下文The British and Americans may use different terms for many things．The British usually use"football"，"eraser"and"mail"while Americans prefer to use"soccer"，"rubber"and"post"．可知，英国人用 football，eraser 和 mail 等词来表达足球、橡皮和邮件，而美国人喜欢用 soccer，rubber 和 post 等词语来表达．说明英国人和美国人会用不同的"用语"来表达一些事物，而非"成果"或"学期"．所以terms意为用语．故选D．
58．A 主旨归纳题．根据整篇文章内容第一段、第二段通过讲述 Simon 和 Rick 的故事来表现英美两国对楼层表达的不同．第三段揭示主题，英美两国虽然都说英语，但有许多不同之处．第四段主要讲了英国人和美国人表达情感的方式不同．第五段主要讲了英国人和美国人描述事物用词上的不同．可知文章主要说的是美国和英国的文化差异．故选A．
