The 6 name of the United Kingdom is 7 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.8 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 9 of

10、 the United Kingdom, so people often use the 10 “England” and “English” when they 11 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 12 . The Scots in particular are very 13 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 14 as English, and have a culture an

Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the oth

17、ers. The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK . Now as

18、for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England. Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of

19、the British Empire (帝國). This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today. 1. According to the passage, we know that _ . A. Great Britain has the same meaning as Britain B. the United Kingdom has the same meaning as Brit

Britain, England and the UK.B. the two main islands and thousands of small onesC. three countries and several islands D. Great Britain or

22、inburgh, Great BritainC. Scotland, Edinburgh, EnglandD. Great Britain, Scotland, EdinburghPassage BHundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were t

23、oo many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,” he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die.”They were all very tired. So they ate their su

24、pper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top.

25、A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (薊). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotlan

26、d.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago, the Romans _ .A. came from the north through England to make war on ScotlandB. came to the nort

30、ury when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island. Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Irela

31、nd. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on meat and two vegetables (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now t

32、hings are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number o

33、f new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food events such as Kinsales Gourmet festival or Galways Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food. Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精細）, it nearly always makes up f

34、or in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a

35、return to simple Irish foods such as stews（燉菜）and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A traditional Irish breakfast is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as

Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.Passage D A Tour City - PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visi

40、t Pompeii (龐貝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for - its stadium (運動場) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeiis people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years. O

41、nce, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (維蘇威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆發(fā)) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not. In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the moun

42、tain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead. For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. The

43、n, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (發(fā)現(xiàn)) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most

44、 important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one

45、 bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread - a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化裝品) . Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are st

46、ill digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.16Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A. To visit the volcano.B. B. To shop and eat there.C. To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived17.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount V

47、esuvius?a) The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.b) The area produced the finest wine in Italy.c) Few people expected the volcano erupt again.d) The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass18.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?e) Because Ginseppe and hi

48、s men dug it slowly and carefully.f) Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.g) Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.h) Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19.Whats the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded” in th

49、e third paragraph?A.爆炸 B.震動C.倒塌D.開裂20.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption

50、in AD 79.二卷單詞拼寫：1) Dont let me i_ your decision. I know youve made up your mind. 2) Her story p_ me; I find it hard to believe.3) A mistake in the map led the traveler into e_. 4) He showed me his stamp c_.

52、the four countries: England,（威爾士）, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can easily （闡明） any problems if you study British history. First there was England. Wales （與.相連） England in the 13th century AD. Now when people （提起）England you find Wales ( 被包含）as well. Great Britain was the name given when Engla

53、nd and Wales （與.結(jié)合）Scotland. It happened in 1603 when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. To their surprise, the three countries themselves （發(fā)現(xiàn).被聯(lián)合） peacefully (而沒有）by war. However, just (當.的時候）they were going to get Ireland connected to （形成）the United Kingdom, the south

54、ern part of that country （脫離出來）to (形成）its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and （蘇格蘭） to become the (聯(lián)合王國）and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the （聯(lián)合國國旗）. Although the four countries do work together in some areas (for example, in international rela

55、tions) they are still very different. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have developed different educational and legal （體制）as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries and （為方便起見) it is roughly （被分為）three zones. The zone
