the same meaning? strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. 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 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 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 british 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.36. according to the passage, we know that_.agreat britain has the same meaning as britainbthe united

the british commonwealth except britain 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 battle. 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 scotland.the thistle is not a beautiful plant. it has sharp

the prime ministerial house has a cat in residence again.sybil, named after basils wife in the classic 1970s situation comedy “fawlty towers” , has moved down from edinburgh with chancellor of the exchequer alistair darling and his family who are living in the threebedroomed flat above no.10.prime minister gordon brown, his wife sarah and their two sons live in the bigger flat at number 11 downing street, traditionally the home of the chancellor.details on sybil remain scant for the moment but she shares an actor name with her predecessorhumphrey was named after sir humphrey appleby in the “yes minister” political comedy show.she also enjoys a distinct advantage over humphrey in that she comes with the family rather than the house. humphrey, who died in march 2006, had walked into

she is more famous than humphrey.dthe queens english is now sounding less upperclass, a scientific study of the queens christmas broadcasts had found. researchers have studied each of her messages to the commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble upper received to the standard received.jonathan harrington, a professor at germanys univ- ersity of munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changes recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “as far as i know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records，” he said.he said the noble way of pronouncing vowels(元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upperclass accent over the past years. “her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. but these are very, very small and slow changes that we dont notice from year to year.” “we may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes，” he told the daily telegraph, a british newspaper. “in 1952 she would have been heard saying thet men in the bleck het. now it would be that man in the black hat. similarly she would have spoken the citay and dutay， rather than citee and dutee and hame rather than home. in the 1950s she would have been lorst， but by the 1970s lost”the queens broadcast is a personal message to the commonwealth countries. each christmas, the 10minute broadcast is put on tv at 3 pm in britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch(传统火鸡午餐)the results were published (发表) in the journal of phonetics.47the queens broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because_.a. she has been queen for many yearsb. she has a less upperclass accent nowc. her speeches are familiar to many peopled. her

journal of pho- netics is a magazine on_. a. speech sounds b. christmas customsc. tv broadcasting d. personal messages50what is the text mainly about?athe relationship between accents and social classes.bthe queens christmas speeches on tv.cthe changes in a persons accent.dthe recent development of the english language.eschools across england are the latest recruits(新兵) in the war on climate change. the government will announce tomorrow that it is giving 375m to help them “go green”schools ministers jim knight and parmjit dhanda want the money to be used to improve buildings and set up energy and water conservation(节约) schemes. “we want schools to be fit for the 21st century，” said knight. “by investing in energy and water conservation measures, schools can spend more on teaching equipment and staff.”he said he would be encouraging schools to use simple measures such as proper covering on pipes and cutting water leaks. “we want them to lead their communities in cutting carbon dioxide emissions (释放)and reducing demand on finite natural resources.”last wednesday knight opened an 8m campus in solihull, west midlands that hosts two schools, forest oak and merstone, and boasts a list of environmental friendly features. the buildings have grass roofs, geothermal heating and sunpipes that channel light into darker rooms. there are no radiators(暖气装置), no fossil(化石)fuels are used, and 86 percent of the waste created during construction was recycled. it is seen as an example of what can be done. the extra funding follows the launch of a campaign by the carbon trust to help schools cut emissions and energy bills by up to 20 percent. head teachers can sign up for free consultations on how to improve their green record.garry felgate, director of delivery and external relations at the carbon trust, said, “cutting carbon emissions as part of the fight against climate change should be a concern for any school.”the money saved, he added, could be “better spent on resources for students. its easy to cut energy use and we offer schools a whole range of no and lowcost ways to do it.”schools release 5 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year from gas and electricity use inside the buildings and another 5 million through related activities such as transport to and from the site. they are responsible for 15 percent of public sector greenhouse gas emissions and 2 percent of the uk total.51what would be the best title for the passage?a. schools given 375m to teach green habitsb. how much british schools contribute to greenhouse effectc. better use of money saved through “green” methodsd. recruits in fighting against climate change52how can schools go “green” according to the passage?a. by cutting water leaks with proper covering.b. by improving their school environment.c. by taking measures to save energy and water.d. by building environmental friendly houses.53which of the following is not an environmental friendly feature of the 8m campus in solihull?a. its roofs are covered with grass.b. no fossil fuels are used in it.c. its heated by sunlight.d. waste created during construction was recycled.54from the
