Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is 2 into three parts: Scotland , Wales and England.The United Kingdom is that 3 of the British isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 4 of Britain, and also aboutone sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The 5 of Ireland is self governing. The 6 name of the United Kingdom is 7 “The United Kingdom of Gre at Britain and Northern Ireland〞.8 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 9 of 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 and even a 15 of their own.Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 16 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 17 , Ireland is divided into two:Northern Ireland still 18 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 19 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain②, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦).

Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different①. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map②. 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 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 the British Empire (帝国). 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 BritainB. the United Kingdom has the same meaning as Britain or EnglandC. all the names in the first paragraph have the same meaningD. all the names refer to England2.

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 too 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 battle①. We must win, or we will die.〞They were all very tired. So they ate their supper 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. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). 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 Scotland②.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 north Scotland from England to make war on ScotlandC. came from the north of England to fight the ScotsD. came to the north from the south of Britain to fight the Scots2.

The Scots made thistle their national flower because thistle ____ .A. is lovely, though not beautifulB. gave them happinessC. is a kind of useful plantD. helped the Scots in wiping out the RomansPassage CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century 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 Ireland. 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 things are very different. Tourist demands forpredictable, 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 of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse〔精细(jīngxì)〕, it nearly always makes up for 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 return to simple Irish foods such as stews 〔炖菜〕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 well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!11．What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12．How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13．What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food14．How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad15. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.Passage DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯(nà bù lèsī)附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山(huǒshān)) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) 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 mountain 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 ot its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) 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 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 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 (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.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 Vesuvius?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?A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded〞 in the third paragraph?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 in AD 79.二卷单词(dāncí)拼写：1)Don’t let me i__________ your decision. I know you’ve 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_______.

A．human brains differ considerablyB．the brain a person is born with is important in determining his intelligence C．environment is vital to determine a person's intelligenceD．persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence 3．According to the passage，the average I．Q.is________.A．85 B．100C．110 D．1254．The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that________. A．individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelB．an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environmentC．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD．changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain5．This passage suggests that an individual's I．Q.________.A．can be predicted at birthB．stays the same throughout his lifeC．can be incr eased by educationD．is determined by his childhoodBThe reasons for going to college has been accepted without question for more than a generation.All high school graduates ought to go，says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence，because college will help them earn more money，become “better”people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don't go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone.And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending，those who don't fit the pattern are becoming more numerous，and more obvious.College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis；college students interfere with each other's experiments and write false letters of recommendation in th e intense competition for admission to graduate school.Others find no stimulation in their studies，and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much.But that's a criticize of the students as a whole，and doesn't explain all campus unhappiness.Others blame the state of the world，and they are partly right.We've been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can't absorb an army of untrained eighteenyearold either. Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best，the proper，the only place for every young person after the completion of high school.We may have been looking at all those surveys andstatistics upside down，it seems，and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences.Perhaps college doesn't make people intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal，or quick to learn things—maybe it's just the other way around，and intelligent，ambitious，happy，liberal quicklearning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place.And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not.This is heresy(异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better.But contrary evidence is beginning to gradually increase in amount.6．What does the author believe according to the passage?A．People used to question the value of college education.B．People used to have full confidence in higher education.C．All high school graduates went to college.D．Very few high school graduates chose to go to college.7．In the second paragraph，“those who don't fit the pattern”refers to________. A．high school graduates who aren't suitable for college educationB．college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC．college students who aren't any better for their higher educationD．high sc hool graduates who failed to be admitted to college8．Why does the drop out rate of college students seem to go up?A．Young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at college. B．Many young people are required to join the army.C．Young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education. D．Young people don't like the intense competition for admission to graduate school. 9．According to the passage，the problems of college education partlyarise from the fact that________.A．society can not provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduates B．high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC．too many students have to earn their own livingD．college administrators encourage students to drop out10．In this passage the author argues that________.A．more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB．college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC．college education benefits only the intelligent，ambitious，and quicklearning peopleD．intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to collegeIV 语法填空We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. 1 , some of us are upset 2 their body styles and looks. It's unnecessary and it's not important at all. We needn't care about it. It is one's inner beauty 3 matters. Second, we sometimes seem to bemisunderstood 4 our teachers, parents and classmates. 5 (face) with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the 6 (understand). Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you 7 . Third, we may fall behind others, 8 makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage 9 to work efficiently, fullof determination. At last, some of us don't have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn't it strange? So long as we have some, that's enough. And we can learn 10 to spend money!V 根据下列各句句意及所给单词的首字母或提示，写出该单词的正确形式。

She appeared on a hillside as he was coming down the mountain, followed by two other children, carrying large bundles(捆) of straw on their backs. Intrigued by the sight, Chen raised his camera to take a picture of the three —but it was then that he noticed the sleeves of the girl in red blowing in the wind. He approached and touched the girl's sleeves, only to discover there were no arms inside.After returning home and reviewing his photographs, Chen decided he had to find the girl again. Chen finally found the girl one year later. He learned that she touched an exposed electrical wire when she was only 4 and had to have both her arms amputated. It was then that an idea occurred to him —hand in his pictures of Xiang to the World Press Photo Contest, which offers a 10,000 euro ($11,080) top prize. From 2003 to 2013, Chen visited the family and took photos of Xiang every year. He entered the contest every year, but every time he failed to win the top prize. That was until December last year, when his pictures caught the attention of journalists at a photo exhibition. After the photos were published online in June, 2016, they were viewed more than 100 million times and attracted more than 80,000 comments. With the support of the China Social Assistance Foundation, more than 300,000 yuan was donated to Xiang.

My friends and I were making a summit attempt on Mount Rainier. The bad weather was starting to come in so we were trying our best to 1 quickly. We would take a single step, and then pause about 10 seconds for a full breath. Over and over again, 2 we reached it just in time for us to have a safe descent (下山).I was a teenager at the time, and this accomplishment was very satisfying. I had learned that persistence (坚持), determination, and 3 had enabled me to reach a big 4 . And over the years, this lesson of one step, one breath has helped me keep going even when faced great difficulty.As an intern (实习医生), the lesson of Mount Rainier took on an entirely different meaning. One day, I saw a 5 walk down the hall of the clinic. He was a(n) 6 gentleman of about 83 and was moving very slowly. He was taking one step, one breath. When we had a chance to 7 in the examining room, he was full of life. Although clearly he was physically weak, his conversation was 8 . Enthusiastically, he talked about how he had trained his dog 9 . In many ways, he had just managed to climb his 10 Mount Rainier, just getting from his home to his car, then from the car to the waiting room, and then from the waiting room to the 11 room. With a smile on his face, he taught me the finer points of dog 12 all while I finished up his examination. Then he was gone.I had once thought that patience and determination were the lesson of one step, one 13 . But then my patient taught me a greater lesson. My body did the work, but it was my 14 that led me to the summit. While climbing, although my physical body was 15 , the goal was whatkept me moving forward.1. A. leave B. compete C. climb D. dash2.

That is why the word “heart” is involved in so many expressions about emotional situations.One such expression is to “lose your heart” to someone. When that happens, you havefallen in love and may become “warm-hearted”. But if the person who has won your heart does not love you, then you are sure to have a “broken heart”. In your pain and s adness, you may decide that the person you loved is “hard-hearted”, and in fact, has a “heart of stone”.You may decide to “pour out your heart” to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better. If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to “have a heart”. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend may, however, warn you not to “wear your heart on your sleeve”. In other words, when your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.If your friend says “my heart bleeds for you”, she means the opposite. She is a “cold-hearted” person who does not pay attention to your situation.In the ever-popular motion picture, The Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart. The Cowardly Lion, in the same movie, did have one. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the Cowardly Lion was “chicken-hearted”. That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not known for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.31. The word “heart” is used in many expressions because .A. it’s the most important word in EnglishB. it’s easy for people to express their feelings using the wordC. people think the heart can control our emotionsD. the heart is the most important part of the body32. Which expression can be used to describe a person who refused your love?A. Lose your heart.B. Hard-hearted.C. Broken heart.D. Warm-hearted.33. What does the underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A heart.B. Bravery.C. Courage.D. The emotion of love.34. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. A chicken is famous for its small heart.B. Don’t show your deepest emotions to anybody.C. It’s not a good idea to “pour out your heart” to a friend.D. A person with little courage must be “chicken-hearted”.BPhilippe Keefe is proud of himself for being able to do many things. He says, “I cut red potatoes, peel carrots, cut peppers…” And the list goes on! Kerry O’Brien l oves to cook. She says, “It’s like a dream job. I love to be a chef one day and to be a daughter my parents take pride in.”O’Brien and Keefe work at Wildflour, a café and catering business in Chantilly, Virginia, where more than half of the 70 employees have intellectual (智力的) disabilities. The non-profit corporation trains them to work in restaurants.Alberto Sangiorgio, Wildflour’s general manager, says, “They work around the tables two to three months for each procedure; they wash the dishes, cut things and do many things. Although it takes four to five years to do that, at the end of the process, they are able to work in any restaurant like everybody else.”The employees, who range in age from 22 to 60, earn $7.50 an hour, and Wildflour offers them time off for illness and vacation.Paul Miller, a chef here for six years, says, “They love coming to work. They love all their co-workers and they take to the tasks that you can’t imagine. It takes a while to learn skills, but after a while, they’ll develop marketable skills.”Fernanda Rodriguez, who trains them to pack biscuits, says, “I think they teach me more than I teach them. They’re very positive and affectionate (有爱心的). They’re happy all the time.”Veronique Keefe sees positive changes in her son. She says, “He is much calmer, happier and more energetic. He is happy with other people working there. So socially it is good for him to be there.”Richard Harrison is a regular at Wildflour café. He says the food is wonderful, but that’s not the only re ason he goes there. “I appreciate the approach that the restaurant has taken as they hired those people,” he says. “My experience with them is a great experience.”The job gives the employees more than living skills.

A freelance (自由职业的) writer can easily get a job from the United States, the United Kingdom or even from Japan. He can travel the world in an hour just by surfing the various places in the world for his work using the Internet.Looking at the job offers on the various freelance job boards can be tiring especially if you are a first timer. To do this, you have to use your search engine and type in the terms “freelance w ork-at-home jobs” or something like that. You will get several sites that offer freelance work-at-home job boards and you should choose the sites that are credible (可信的) enough.You will know when the site is credible because first of all, they do not ask you to pay them suddenly even before you have found a freelance work-at-home job through their services. Most sites will offer free registration (注册) for freelance writers and you can register as long as you have an email address where they can send the confirmation link(确认链接).Once you have registered successfully then you can start looking for the present freelance work-at-home opportunities and bid on (投标) them. But not all freelance work-at-home job boards require bidding. Some job boards will ask you to send your resume and they will contact you if you make the grade.The Internet is a world that is open to a lot of opportunities especially for people who want to work at home.

Thousands of pubs have closed since the financial crash in 2007.The Plough, which was once a coaching house for travelers, has been serving Britain’s famous warm beer since the days of Shakespeare. Now it is under threat too. “Yeah. So many pubs have been closed over the last few years even in this area,” said Derek O’Neil, the manager of The Plough Pub.Many reasons are the cause—a ban on smoking in public, severe laws against drinking and driving and high taxes have all combined to kill off nearly 10,000 pubs in the last seven years, according to the British Beer and Pub Association. With the closures, pubs are being redeveloped. Many have turned into supermarkets, where the beer is sometimes cheaper.Britain’s pubs continue to play an important part in the UK economy, selling thousands of different beers and employing more than a million people. The reality, though, is pubs are suffering something of a hangover (遗留物). In the last 15 years the amount of beer sold in pubs has fallen by eight million barrels to just under 36 million a year. Pub landlords want tax breaks (税务减免).“People have less money in their pockets, so they can’t go out and spend it and habits are changing—so much alcohol is nowadays drunk at home,” said Brigid Simmonds, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association. “Yeah, I miss the pubs where there’s a lot of character, especially 30 years ago. You know there was great fun in them.”Wh ile pubs are still much loved, they’re discovering that love isn’t enough to survive 21st century economics.43.

Although it had been celebrated before this date, this was the first time it had got national recognition in America. It is also celebrated in Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Argentina. Tartan Day got its name from the Scots-Irish clothing itself. According to the dictionary, “tartan” is a “woo len or worsted cloth woven with stripes of different colors and widths crossing at right angles(角度), worn by the Scottish Highlanders, each tribe (部落) having its own plaid”.The Scots’ coming to live in America began in the 17th century. Some willingly made the United States their home, while others were transported as prisoners of war from Scotland. They attempted to establish a Scottish colony(殖民地) in Nova Scotia in the 1620s, but they failed. The main Scottish colonization happened in the 18th century. The war between the French and Indians was then over and many Scots settled in New York. A long period of trading with Scotland began, including tobacco, textiles and cotton.The National Tartan Day celebrates the Americans of Scottish descent (祖籍), who madeoutstanding contributions to the United States. Among them we can count Uncle Sam. Although this is a nickname we gave to the American Government, Uncle Sam was actually a Scottish businessman from New York by the name of Samuel Wilson. He was recognized because of his input in helping the army with food during the War of 1812. He provided a large amount of beef and pork for the soldiers. Another important Scottish figure in the United States was John Paul Jones, who was the builder of the American Navy. Among others, Alan Shepard was the first American in space and Alexander Wilton was the first to build an American automobile, both of whom were the descendants of Scots.Tartan Day is now celebrated in several different States including, but not limited to, California, Texas, Chicago and New York. On April 6 of each year, New York holds a parade in honor of this holiday. Americans of Scottish descent are dressed in their popular clothes and many pipers and drummers put on an excellent show for the city.47. What does the underlined word “plaid” in Paragraph1 probably mean?A. The custom that has been passed down for a long time.B. The organization that volunteers to put on shows.C.
