【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
B
解析
文章最后一段说明越来越多的人把英语看作国际性语言,而不再是所谓的“英式英语”和“美式英语”。由此可推断英式英语与美式英语之间的差别已经不再重要。B项意为“由于这个原因,关于英式英语与美式英语的问题越来越不重要了”,承接上段有关英语广泛性的讨论,引出下段关于“英式”与“美式”概念的淡化,最符合题意。故选B。
