started, with vowels being pronounced shorter and shorter. from the 16th century the british had contact with people from around the world. this means that many new words and phrases entered the language. the invention of printing also meant that there was a common language in print. books became cheaper and more people learned to read. spelling and grammar became fixed and the dialect （方言）of london became the standard. in 1604, the first english dictionary was published.the numbers of words in early modern english and late modern english differ. late modern english has a lot more words because of two main factors: firstly, the industrial revolution created a need for new words; secondly, the british empire covered one quarter of the earths surface, and the english language took in foreign words from many countries.from around 1600, the english colonization(殖民地化)of north america resulted in the creation of american english. some english pronunciation and words froze when they reached america. in some ways, american english is more like the english of shakespeare than modern british english. some expressions that the british call “ americanisms” are in fact original （原先的）british expressions that were preserved (保存) in the colonies but were lost in britain. spanish also had an influence on american english, with words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante being examples of spanish words that entered english. french words and west african words also influenced american english.today, american english is the most influential(有影響力的). but there are many other kinds of english around the world, including australian english, new zealand english, canadian english, south african english , indian english and caribbean english. they have differences.63. what can we know from paragraph 1?a. the dialect of london became the standard in the year 1604.b. vowels were pronounced longer towards the end of middle englishc. the first english dictionary was published in the early 17th century.d. many new words entered english because many people moved to britain.64. from paragraph 2, we know that the industrial revolution _.a. required spelling and grammar to be fixedb. required a greater number of english wordsc. caused many old english words to be uselessd. led to the english colonization of north america.65. the underlined word “froze” in paragraph 3 shows that some english words in america_. a. became longer b. greatly changed c. a little changed d. stayed as they were66. what will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss?a. the development of modern englishb. how the english vocabulary became largerc. differences among the different kinds of englishd. differences between middle english and modern englishdher frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. she could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her.her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. the winter air grabbed(抓住) at her arms, causing her pain, but she didnt mind. she knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in connecticut, but that would be giving up. up here, in this tree she felt safe.she looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蠟). she placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. this candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually.as a child, she had gotten this candle. she spent all she had on it. the beautiful crystal box （水晶盒）had caught her eye. five whole nickels（五分幣） had brought her that candle.she gave it to her mother for mothers day. her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “its very pretty, honey! i will put it right here.” since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. later on, her parents got divorced.by now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. the snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. she liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. from the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. from the boys who could never figure
