参考答案B
解析:W: Hello, glad to see you here!
M: Me, too. How are you going these days?
W: I'm OK. What are you doing in the library?
M: [5] Oh, recently I'm curious about British English and American English. So I just come here to get some information. They are really about the same, aren't they?
W: [5] I don't think so. It seems to me that some of the
spellings are different.
M: Such as?
W: Words like theatre and centre end in "re" in England instead of"er" like we spell them.
M: Can you think of any more examples?
W: The word "colour" is another case in point. In fact, many words which end in "or" in American English are spelled "our" in British English.
M: I'm still not convinced. [6] I mean, if someone comes here from England, we can all understand what he's saying. The spelling doesn't really matter that much.
W: We're not just talking about spelling. [7] There are differences in pronunciation and meaning too. I remember seeing an English movie where the actors kept calling their apartment a flat. Half of the movie was over before I realised what they were talking about.
M: So there are slight differences in spelling and some vocabulary.
W: And in pronunciation, too. You aren't going to tell me that you sound like James Simpson.
M: James Simpson isn't English. He's Scottish.
W: Okay. Anyway, the pronunciation is different.
M: So British English and American English are different in many ways, right?
W: Yes, sure.
M: [8] But it's not so different that it prevents us from understanding each other.
W: That's exactly what I mean.
