　　The purpose of this book is to provide you with practice in spelling English. It is not a book that treats the complex rules of English spelling. Neither does it teach you how to use a dictionary. Its main objective is to introduce regular spelling patterns; that is, to present a regular system for spelling a large group of words. By learning these patterns, and by practising them, you will master thousands of words.

　　Of course, there are exceptions to spelling patterns, which must be learned one word at a time. But, unlike some educators, I do not believe that learning to spell English is an impossible task, in spite of the exceptions. And I believe that this book of patterns will help you.

1．The main purpose of the book is to ________.

[　　]

A．present all of the rules of English spelling

B．list the exceptions to regular spelling patterns

C．teach students to use the dictionary

　　The report came to the British on May 21, 1941．The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.

　　The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical miles (海里) an hour, she was believed to be unsinkable.

　　However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.

　　But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck's speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.
