Britain and Ireland
The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other 36 . Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is 37 into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
The United Kingdom is that 38 of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 39 of Britain, and also about one sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The 40 of Ireland is self-governing. The 41 name of the United Kingdom is 42 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
43 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 44 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 45 “England” and “English” when they 46 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 47 . The Scots in particular are very 48 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 49 as English, and have a culture and even a 50 of their own.
Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 51 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 52 , Ireland is divided into two: Northern Ireland still 53 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 54 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 Britain, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to 55 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.

A
Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin's work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.
One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball(化装舞会). He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a special entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin's grand entrance for a long time!
56. The text is mainly about ____________.
A. a strange man B. an unusual party
C. how roller skating began D. how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century
57. People thought Merlin was a dreamer because he__________.
A. often gave others surprises B. was a gifted（天才的）musician
C. invented the roller skates D. was full of imagination
58. Merlin put wheels under his shoes in order to________.
A. impress the party guests B. arrive at the party sooner
C. test his invention D. show his skill in walking on wheels
59. What is the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph?

C. Merlin succeeded beyond expectation. D. Merlin got himself into trouble.

A a dreamer B a violin C a farmer D a maker of musical instrument
B
As prices and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself'(DIY) trend（趋势） in the U.S. continues to grow.
‘We needed furniture（家具） for our living room,' says John Ross, ‘and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.' John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. ‘I was deeply upset (焦虑)about it. Now I've finished a car repair course（课程）, I should be able to fix the car by myself.'
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a ‘do-it-yourselfer', you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
61. We can learn from the text that many newly married people_______.
A. find it hard to pay for what they need
B. have to learn to make their own furniture
C. take DIY courses run by the government
D. seldom go to a department store to buy things
62. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to______.

C. save time and money D. improve the quality of life
63. When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim___.
A. makes shoes in his home B. does extra work at night
C. does his own car and home repairs D. keeps house and looks after his children
64. Jim Hatfield decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when_______.
A. his car repairs cost too much B. the car repair class was not helpful
C. he could not possibly do two jobs D. he had to raise the children all by himself
65. What would be the best title for the text?
A. The Joy of DIY B. You Can Do It Too!
C. Welcome to Our DIY Course! D. Ross and Hatfield: Believers in DIY

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “ Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
66.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
Edison invented the electric light.
Many other people have changed Edison’s life.
Edison has changed the life of many other people.
Few men in history can change other people’s life.
67.Edison thought .
A.he could be happy if he was a genius
B.genius plays the most important part in one’s success
C.hard work could do better than genius
D.genius could do better than hard work
68.Edison was .
A.very much interested in nature
B.interested in discovering the secrets of nature
C.interested in changing people’s ideas
D.uninterested in making people happier by discovering the secrets of nature
69.In Edison’s opinion, .
A.thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help
B.people’s successs lies mostly in genius
C.hard work is the second important thing in making people successful
D.there are few secrets for him to discover later
70.The last sentence in the passage most probably implies .
A.life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings
B.Edison made 100 inventions in his life
C.Edison was able to live and work for 100 years
D.People of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years’ work

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!
71．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
73．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
74． 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.
阅读下面短文，按要求完成76-80题。
In the year 2020,the world is going to have a population of about 10billion.Most scientists agree that the most severe problem is food supply.
Who is going to feed all those people? Where is the food going to come from? Are we going to have enough food? Are we going to produce more artificial food?
One way of improving the situation is for people to eat less meat.Why? Because it takes 4kilos of grain protein to produce half a kilo of meat protein.Clearly, there is not going to be sufficient meat protein for 10 billion people.Therefore,it will also be necessary to change eating habits because meat is the main part of many people’s food today.
A possible solution to this latter problem is the soybean. The soybean plant produces beans which have a very high fat and protein content. Scitentists can now make these look and taste like real meat. They can also make many other artificial products such as soybean milk, for example, which has a taste of milk and can be used in cooking in very much the same ways as cow’s milk. In fact, one woman in the United States fed her family only on soybeans for a year! She gave them soybean beef, soybean chicken, and sometimes just soybeans.Possibly, we are all going to eat soybeans in the future and finally give up meat completely from our tables.(将此题答案写在二卷相应位置)

本文主要讲述了the United Kingdom的几个重要组成部分，让读者能够了解它们的一些情况。
36.B由空后的“Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands”可推断出答案。
37.A词组be divided into意思是“被分成……”；cut into 意为“打断，侵犯”；break into 意为“破门而入”；separate from意为“分离，分开”。
38.D由该句可知the United Kingdom就是the British isles中被女王统治的那一部分。
39.D由第一段最后一句我们知道Britain是由Scotland, Wales和England三部分组成，所以说以上三部分就是整个的Britain。
40.C爱尔兰分为两部分，北部为英国统治，其他部分自治。
41.C此处指英国的全称。Whats your full name? 你的全名是什么？
42.B由上文可知the United Kingdom 包括Britain，Wales，England以及Northern Ireland，又Britain，Wales和England就是指整个Britain，因此the United Kingdom又被称为“The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”。
43Dthe United Kingdom共由四部分组成，其他三部分都提到了，就剩下England，因此答案为D。
44.D只有人口最多，再加上面积最大和最富有，才能使人们提起Britain或British就用England或English来代替。而大学、官员和城市最多并不足以使人们这样做。
45.A“England”和“English”是两个单词。
46.A表示当人们称呼Britain或British时，常常用England或English。
47.A因为Wales和Scotland都属于Britain，所以称呼Britain为England自然让威尔士人和苏格兰人都有点生气。
48.A词组be proud of意思是“为……自豪或骄傲”，符合题意。
49.Dthe Welsh的反身代词为themselves。
50.B作为英国的一个相对独立的组成部分，Welsh有自己的语言。而capital是另外几个部分都具备的。
51.B由下文的the great headache可推出答案为B。
52.A词组at last的意思是“最终”，表示Ireland最终分为两部分。
53.B词组belong to意思是“属于”，Northern Ireland 仍旧属于the United
Kingdom。
54.C词组break away表示“脱离”。
55.D爱尔兰共和国在二战中一点都没有帮助英国人。
