　　M：Very well．I can write it too． 　　W：Any other languages? 　　M：I can speak a little French．But I can't write it at all． 　　W：A little French．Can't write it．That's it? 　　M：Yes． 　　W：And you want to join our beginners'class in Japanese? 　　M：Yes, please． 　　W：Well, it's not going to be easy, you know．It's very different form English, Spanish or French． 　　M：I know．But I want to do it． 听下面一段材料，回答第8～9题 　　M：British English and American English are really about the same, aren't they? 　　W：I don't think so．It seems to me that some of the spellings are different． 　　M：You're right, Mary．Words like“theater”and“center”end in“r-e”in England instead of in“e-r”like we spell them．Can you think of any more examples? 　　W：The word“color”? 　　M：Good．In fact, many words which end in“o-r”in American English are spelled“o-u-r”in British English． 　　W：Okay．There are some differences in pronunciation and meaning． 　　M：Anyway, we both agree that British English and American English are different．Right? 　　W：Sure．But not so different that it prevents us from understanding each other． 　　M：Yes．I quite agree with you． 听下面一段材料，回答第10～12题 　　W：How did you feel the first time you spoke English to a foreigner?

　　W：Sure, Fred, what is it? 　　M：I'm worried about my grade in our English class．I really want an A, but… 　　W：I see．Well, it might be hard for you to get an A．So far you have a“B”average．You would need a 97 or 98 on four final exams to get an A．Do you think you can get that high a score? 　　M：Probably not．The problem is I have to have a B average in all the subjects to get the prize form our government, or I'll have to find a part-time job．I'm afraid it is difficult for me to put all my heart in my study if I have to work in my spare time．I'll probably get an A in English to get a B average． 　　W：I gave two less tests this term than I usually do．That might have changed your grade a little．Maybe I'll give everybody a chance to write a composition in English．Then you'll have a good chance to get an“A”． 　　M：That would be great．I'll try my best．Thank you very much． 听下面一段材料，回答第16～18题 　　M：Hi, Jane．It's nice to see you again．I heard that you went to the US during the vacation． 　　W：Yes, I went to New York to attend a summer course in English． 　　M：Wow, You were lucky．How long did you stay there? 　　W：About 50 days．I went there on July 5th and came back on August 25th． 　　M：How about the course? 　　W：The course was very good．The teachers were nice．They taught us to listen, speak, read and write in English, but it was mostly speaking．One interesting thing I found was that the American classes are different from our classes here because they are very free．You can sit anywhere you like in the classroom．You can ask the teacher questions at any time during the class, and you are welcome to share your ideas with the class．I really liked this kind of class． 　　M：How interesting!Maybe our teacher should try that． 听下面一段材料，回答第19～20题 　　You ask me about my hometown, so now I'd like to tell you something about it．I live in Brighton which is not a very big town．It has a population of around 300,000．It is on the coast about 50 miles from London．Of course it isn't as interesting as London or Paris．But the air is a lot cleaner and better．There is little pollution there．There are a few factories in Brighton, but not many．It isn't very easy to find a job there．My father used to work in a steel plant which shut down a year ago and my father lost his job．But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in the town．In summer the town is full of travellers．My father decides to open a small shop to sell gifts．But he is short of money．He hopes that he can borrow some money from the bank．
