the United Kingdom England and the British Commonwealth which have 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 Bri tain 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 26 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 Britain or England C all the names in the first paragraph have the same meaning D all the names refer to England 27 It is clear that the British Isles refer to A Britain England and the UK B the two main islands and thousands of small ones C three countries and several islands D Great Britain or the United Kingdom 28 Which of the following shows the right relationship 关系 between the British Isles BI Britain B and England E A B BI E B BI E B C E B BI D BI B E 29 If you want to write to someone in Edinburgh that

statement is NOT true A Great Britain the United Kingdom England and the British Commonwealth refer to something different B UK is the short form for the United Kingdom C There are 4 countries on the island of Great Britain D British Empire is becoming weaker and weaker B B One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday without going through a travel agency which will make us submerged 淹没 in crowds and lose lots of opportunities to look around the country We started to think over our trip and managed to get a free tour of Italy The trip was not very long but it was still very enjoyable We look forward to going there again Of course we spent lots of time arranging the trip but it was well worth it Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa which was the most difficult thing to get without an invitation In the Italian consulate 领事馆 one must hand in some official papers proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa Then we had to solve the ticket problem Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance The next step was to book a hotel We finally booked a hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome Our big house which was surrounded by the forest was rich in fresh air Beautiful views hospitable 好客的 hosts comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end Besides this we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go Don t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself It s not difficult The only thing I ll say is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves So if you re also planning a single trip don t forget to take a Russian Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue 31 Why does the author want to go to Italy again A He had a great time there B Italy has a lot of attractions C His friend invited him to go there D He didn t stay in Italy long enough 32 What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip A Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling B Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate C Booking a

advises us to arrange trips by ourselves D met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy C C Family is of course an elastic word But when British people say that their society is based on family life they are thinking of family in its narrow specially European sense of mother father and children living together alone in their own house as an econo mic and social unit Thus every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family the great importance of marriage in British life For both the man and the woman marriage means leaving one s parents and starting one s own life The man s first duty will then be to his wife and the wife s to her husband He will be entirely responsible for her financial support and she for the running of the new home Their children will be their common responsibi lity and theirs alone Neither the wife s parents nor the husband s nor their brothers or sisters aunts or uncles have any right to interfere with them they are their own masters Readers of novels like Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl s parents that is it was the parents duty to find a sui table husband for their daughter preferably a rich one and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her Until that time the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry It is very different today Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage This has had two results A girl chooses her own husband and she gets no dowry 36 What does the author mean by Family is of course an elastic word A Different families have different ways of life B Different definitions could be given to the word C Different nations have different families D Different times produce different families 37 For an English family the husband s duty is A supporting the family while the wife is financial B defending the family while the wife is running the home C

with the help of aunts and uncles 39 What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice A It is the best book on marriage B It is a handbook of marriage C It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past D It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families 40 With regard to marriage in Britain present day girls differ from former time girls in A the right to marriage B more parental support C choosing husbands D social position D D In today s Ireland it seems hard to imagine the past days of the 19th century when so 用心 爱心 专心5 many of the population starved or that in those days many poor people had no idea on 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 huge difference to the stan dards 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 for predictable inexpensive fast food are met as everywhere with hamburgers and pizzas a better bet being fish and chips But more complex tastes have introduced whole foods and vegetarian restaurants almost unheard of before and a great number of new restaurants often French in style have opened in the main tourist centers 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 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 specialties 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 41 What was
