【B1】______There are a few small differences in the grammar and there are a few words that are different on either side of Atlantic, but the big difference is the accent. Some British films have subtitles in America because people can’t understand what the actors are saying, and some American TV series are difficult for the British to understand.
【B2】______The problems are with the different kinds of American and British English. These different dialects and accents depend on people’s social class and the geographical area where they live. It is possible, for example, that a middle-class speaker from the south of England will find it difficult to understand a working-class speaker from the north. In the same way, a wealthy Califor-nian may not understand a working-class New Yorker. All of these people have accents, but the middle-class accents are usually closer to Standard English.
【B3】______What sort of English should they learn? Is American English better than British English, or the other way round? The answer depends on their reasons for learning English. If they are learning English for their work, the choice will probably be easy. But for many students, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that they understand and are understood.
【B4】______Most English that you hear and see around the world is spoken or written by non-native speakers—between, for example, a Greek and a German, or between a Russian and an Italian. English is the main language of business, academic conferences and tourism, of popular music , home computers and video games. English has become the Latin of the modern world.
【B5】______More and more people now talk about English as an International Language—a language that is not American or British. It has hundreds of different accents, but if people can understand what you are saying, no problem.

选项
答案
G
解析
文章第二段主要说明了在同一个国家的不同地区,依据人所处阶级,不同的人的方言和口音也会不一样。结尾提到中产阶级口音接近于标准英语。G项意为“如果你听的是美国或英国的标准英语,理解起来便毫不费力。”,与该段第二句构成过渡句并与该段结尾照应,最符合文意。故选G。
