分析 文章讲述了美国英语和英国英语之间的差别主要在四个方面，并说明了他们属于同一种语言，这两国人在相互理解方面没有困难．

解答 21-23．ADC
21：A 推理题．根据文章第一段2，3行He wonders （想知道）：Can I communicate with Americans？Can they understand me？他想知道：我能和美国人交流吗？他们懂我吗？说明学英国英语的人会担心美国人能否听懂，而学美国英语的人也担心英国人是否能听懂．故A正确．
22：D 归纳题．根据第二段There are a few differences in grammar．There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary．Pronunciation is sometimes different．（语法方面有一些不同，词汇拼写方面也有不同，发音有时也不同）．这三句说明美国英语和英国英语在语法，拼写，词汇和发音方面都有差异，故D正确．
23：C 细节题．在第二段中提及了两国英语之间的确存在着差异；文章最后一句告诉我们这是一种语言，最后一段也说了这种差异是多重要．唯独没有提及这种差异是如何产生的．故C正确．
