文的主旨是介绍英式英语和美式英语的不同。38.D。从下一句话“manypeopleintheUSandUKarefamiliarwiththosestrangefiguresofspeechfrombothsidesofthepond”可判断，两种语言的不同已经越来越模糊，两国人很熟悉彼此不同的用法。39.B。当人们说，theyaregutted表示很失望，而“Onthecontrary,he’llbe‘overthemoon’ifhemakesit”可推测，overthemoon表示“非常高兴，狂喜”。40.C。从“You’llhear‘Cheers’alot…It’satermforthankyou”可知C正确。9
