Passage A
Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? 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.

Passage B
Hundreds 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.

PassageC
In 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 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 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）, 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 plentiful
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 expensive
13． 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 food
14． 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 bad
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 D
A Tour City ------- Pompeii
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，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 (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) , 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?
To visit the volcano.
B. To shop and eat there.
To watch sports and plays.
D. To see how Pompeiians lived
17.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
Few people expected the volcano erupt again.
The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass
18.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
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?
A. 爆炸 B.震动 C.倒塌 D.开裂
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 in AD 79.

词组as if意思是“好像”，用来引导方式状语从句，主要用法如下：
1. 当as if引导的状语从句表示的情况是事实或具有很大可能性时，通常用陈述语气。常与look, seem, taste, smell, sound等词连用。

2. 当as if 引导的方式状语从句所表示的情况不是事实，而是主观的想象或夸大性的比喻时，从句通常用虚拟语气。现在的状况用过去式(be动词用were)表示虚拟语气；过去的状况用过去完成时表示虚拟语气。
He walks as if he were drunk. 他走路的样子好像是喝醉了。
The injured man acted as if nothing had happened to him.那个受伤的男子表现得好像没发生什么事。
因此，我们在使用as if引导从句时，要注意从句中所用时态不同，意思也不同。
