A
“What part of the States do you come from?”
“I’m not American. I’m Canadian.”
This is a mistake that Europeans often make. Many Americans, too, admit that it takes them a while to tell if it’s an American talking or a Canadian. This upsets some Canadians, because they want people to recognize them as Canadians. They want everyone to know that Canada is an independent nation with its own special character.
American English was probably brought to Canada by the Loyalists(忠于北方者)who fled there
6
during the Revolutionary War(1776~1783), for even as late as 1813. 80% of all British Canadians had come from the USA.
From the very first, Canada was a country with two languages, neither of which influenced the other very much, because the French and British spoke to each other so little. Canadian English has always remained very like American English, and the influence of the Indian and Inuit languages was no greater than the influence of French. But there are some important words that have found their way via(通过)Canadian dictionaries into British dictionaries.
1. The sentence“I’m not American, I’m Canadian.”suggests _____.
A. Canada is a beautiful country
B. Canadian English is not quite different from American English
C. Canadians think Canada is a more developed country
D. Canadians think that their country is independent
2. It isn’t easy for Europeans even for Americans to tell _____ from _____.
A. American English; British English
B. Canadian English; American English
C. Canadian English; British English
D. British English; Scottish English
3. The two languages spoken in Canada refer to _____.
A. British English and American English
B. English and Latin
C. French and English
D. Canadian English and American English
4. Generally speaking, Canadian English is the same as American English because _____.
A. Canada is connected with the USA
B. most of the British Canadians had come from the USA
C. the population of Canada is smaller than that of the USA
D. Canadians want to follow Americans
5. With the help of _____, some Canadian new words come into British English.
A. the Revolutionary War B. Indian language
C. the Loyalists D. Canadian dictionaries
B
The United States covers a large part of the North American continent. Its neighbours are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 1964, its population was over 185,000,000.
When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had
6
thirteen states. Each of the states was represented(代表)on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.
Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the official language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.

A. America is the largest country in the world.
B. The population of America is larger than that of any other country in the North American
continent.

A. south B. north C. east D. west

A. thirteen; 1959 B. fifty; 1959
C. fifty; this land first became a nation D. fifty; 1964
9. Why is English the official language of America?
A. English is the Indian’s native language.
B. Most Americans come from all over the world.
C. Most of the people who first settled in America were from England.
D. Canada is America’s nearest neighbour.
10. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The States of America
B. The Language of America
C. The United States of America
D. The Culture and Customs of America
