【解析】
本文主要介绍了英式英语和美式英语之间的差别。
【1】
句意:没有人知道这是怎么发生的,虽然英国成功的电影像《哈利波特》可能与此有关。
联系上文“Words like “cheers”, meaning “thank you”, and “mate”, meaning “friend”, are becoming popular.”这些单词比如“开心”的意思是“谢谢”,这些词变得很受欢迎,没有人知道这是如何发生的。根据句意可知是如何。故答案填how。
【2】
句意:没有人知道这是怎么发生的,虽然英国成功的电影像《哈利波特》可能与此有关。
电影film,可数名词,指英国电影用复数形式。故答案填films。
【3】
句意:英国电影和美国电影有点不同。
根据句意表示美国的电影,America美国,要变成American美国的。故答案填American。
【4】
句意:英式拼读“color”是“colour”,而且他们写“favorite”是“favorite”。
介词of后跟动词ing形式表示英国的拼读方式。故答案填spelling。
【5】
句意:因为大英帝国,英语是世界上人数使用最多的口语。
根据句意表示因为,介词短语because of因为后跟名词或词组,大英帝国是名词。故答案填of。
【6】
句意:它的殖民地曾经覆盖了地球的25%。
根据once曾经,可知是一般过去时态,动词cover要用过去式。故答案填covered。
【7】
句意:在美国一些地方,人们真的很喜欢英式口音。
句子成分分析,空格处单词修饰动词like喜欢,所以形容词real要加后缀ly变成really表示真正地。故答案填really。
【8】
句意:英国演员Hugh Grant和他的英式口音在好莱坞非常成功。
句子成分分析,缺少形容词做表语,名词success要变成形容词表示成功的。故答案填successful。
【9】
句意:不要担心英式英语和美式英语之间的差别。
祈使句否定句,don’t后直接跟动词原形。故答案填worry。
【10】
句意:不要担心英式英语和美式英语之间的差别。
根据句意不要担心英式英语和美式英语之间的差别,固定搭配between…and在……之间。故答案填and。
