分析 本文講述了美式英語(yǔ)和英式英語(yǔ)的區(qū)別，其區(qū)別在于少部分的拼寫(xiě)、發(fā)音和語(yǔ)法不同，但是這并不影響相互之間的溝通．

25．D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，本文沒(méi)有提到英國(guó)英語(yǔ)和美國(guó)英語(yǔ)的差異是如何產(chǎn)生的．故選D．
26．B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解．根據(jù)"For the most part，British and American English are the same language"可知，英國(guó)人和美國(guó)人在語(yǔ)言相互理解上幾乎沒(méi)有困難．故選B．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
