四、单元话题阅读
David Beckham, one of the world’s most famous athletes, was at a press conference (新闻发布会). He held his new Los Angeles Galaxy jersey (球衣) in his hand. Beckham said he couldn’t wait to play football in LA. Then he stopped, laughed and said, “I mean soccer.”
Beckham, the England native, is truly an international man. So he remembered that while the games are the same, some of the sports terms are different in the United States than in Britain. Now, Beckham can’t forget that while in England he plays football on a pitch (球场), in the US he plays soccer on a field.
After the game is over, Beckham might want to change out of his uniform and into regular clothes. In America, he’ll be wearing sneakers and perhaps a light sweater. But if he were back home in England he’d be wearing trainers and a jumper. Beckham might also want to use hairspray to style his hair. But if he forgets he is in the US and asks for “lacquer”, which is what the British call hairspray, his teammates might think he’s strange. In the US, “lacquer” is something you use to treat wood.
With all of this confusion Beckham might need to relax. So one of his American teammates might hand Beckham a paddle and challenge him to a ping-pong game. Even here Beckham could be confused. In the UK they call it table tennis and play with a bat.
But Beckham is rich and famous so he would never get upset. After playing ping-pong he might try to become really American and go to watch a baseball game. Of course, if he didn’t know better he’d ask to watch “rounders” , which is what the British call baseball.
Of course, while these word differences might seem confusing, Beckham probably thinks they are no big deal. Remember, he used to play in Spain. Hay muchacho (Oh, boy)!!
1. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. Beckham’s great achievement in soccerB. the life story of Beckham in America
C. American English and British EnglishD. Beckham’s experience with language
differences
2. This article uses Beckham’s example to focus on the ________ difference of American English and British English.
A. spelling B. vocabulary
C. pronunciation D. grammar
3. Which of the following is American English?
A. Play football on a pitch.
B. Wear trainers and a jumper.
C. Style one’s hair with hairspray.
D. Play table tennis with a bat.
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A. language barrier is not a big problem for Beckham
B. Beckham doesn’t care about language barriers
C. Beckham finds it hard to understand American English
D. Beckham will play football in Spain
