    (1)

    综合全文内容，短文的主题是说这所“最小的学校”。

    (2)

    (3)

    文中讲学校只有一个学生，而且还退了学，而此前的另一个学生“moved on to a secondary school”。

    (4)

    依据文中第四段“I had told the old teacher as far back as last September…”而判断应选D项。

    (5)

    关键是对短文后三段内容的理解：新老师教课后，小姑娘的妈妈不让女儿再去学校，而且在新老师上任之前就给原来的老师打电话表示了这个意向。尽管学校有很好的条件和设备，最终还是不去了。都说明，原来的老师更适合小女孩。

    American English and British English

    　　The Americans and British use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is “Hi!”. In Britain it is “Hello!” or “How are you?”. “Hi!” is creeping into(不知不觉地进入) British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, “Glad to know you.” The British say, “How do you do?” or “Please to meet you.” When Americans say “Good-bye”, they nearly always add, “Have a good day.” or “Have a good trip.” etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are beginning to use “Have a good day.”

    　　The British usually use “have got” in the sense of “have”. The Americans hardly ever do.

    　　Am. E：－Do you have a. car, room, etc.?

    　　－Yes, I do.

    　　Br. E：－Have you got a car, room, etc.?

    　　－Yes, I have.

    　　Finally, there are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, for example, check (US)/cheque (UK); center (US)/centre (UK). Many American words ending in “or” such as honor, vigor, labor are spelt in British English with an “our” like honour, vigour, labour. Many verbs in American English with “ize” or “izing” forms, such as organize, realizing, are spelt in British English with “ise” or “ising” like organise, realising. In American English, “practice” is used as both a verb and a noun. In British English, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice”. And in the main, American English avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母) in nouns and verbs while British English does not. In American English, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler” while in British English one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”.

    　　It was once predicted(预测) that British and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links(连接) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上), and probably culturally(文化上) too, they are closer together than ever.

    1．The American hardly say ________.

    [　　]

    A．Good-bye, have a good day!

    B．Glad to know you!

    C．Hi!

    D．Have you got a car?

    2．An Englishman writes ________.

    [　　]

    A．cheque, center
    B．honor, organise
    C．traveled, practice
    D．labour, traveller

    3．What does the third paragraph talk about?

    [　　]

    A．There are lots of differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.

    B．Why the Americans and the British use different spellings.

    C．There are few differences in spelling between Am. E and Br. E.

    D．The different usages of words in Am. E and Br. E.

    4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．The two languages will become separate languages gradually.

    B．American English will be used more often than British English.

    C．The two languages will be closer and closer.

    D．British English will be used more often than American English.
