C [細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的 “In Australian English, the/r/ sound can only occur before a vowel.” 可知 r在這里不發(fā)音。 ] 3. D [細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的 “As with American English, the /t/ sound can sometimes sound like a /d/ sound, and this usually happens between vowels.” 可知在美式英語(yǔ)里, t在兩個(gè)元音之間有可能發(fā) /d/的音, A、 B、 C項(xiàng)中劃線(xiàn)的 t都不符合這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn), Got it中的劃線(xiàn) t在兩個(gè)元音之間,故可推斷應(yīng)選 D。 ] 4. C [推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的 “Many of them came from large cities like London. They brought many different kinds of English with them.” 可知在 18世紀(jì)的英國(guó),人們因地域的差異而導(dǎo)致所說(shuō)的英文不同。 ] Ⅴ.
