Did anyone find the names of “the British Isles” ，“Great Britain”，“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 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.

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 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.

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.

Nearly a decade since Humphrey was shown the door to No. 10 Downing Street, the prime ministerial house has a cat in residence again.
Sybil, named after Basil's 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 three bedroomed 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 predecessor—Humphrey 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 London's most powerful address as a stray late in Margaret Thatcher's premiership in 1989.
He lived there on and off during the John Major years as a passive Conservative ally but fell from grace after Labour's landslide election victory in May 1997.
Six months later Humphrey was gone, amid much newspaper speculation that new occupant Tony Blair's wife Cherie was behind the move.
“The Prime Minister doesn't have a problem with it (the cat). Sarah Brown doesn't have a problem with it，”said Brown's spokesman Tuesday, confirming Sybil was now in residence.
Before Humphrey, the best known was Wilberforce who lived at No. 10 during the Edward Heath years, and who died in 1988.

C. She was named after a figure in a comedy.

46．What's the advantage does Sybil enjoy over Humphrey

The Queen's English is now sounding less upper class, a scientific study of the Queen's 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 Germany's 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 upper class 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 don't 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 Queen's broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10 minute 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.
文章大意：这篇文章中隐含着很多英国文化背景知识，如英联邦国家(Commonwealth countries)。英联邦国家是由英国和已经独立的前英国殖民地或附属国组成的联合体。英王是英联邦的元首。英国女王伊丽莎白二世自登基以来，每年都要通过广播向英联邦国家发表圣诞感言致辞。然而，近来，研究人员从她的圣诞感言中听出了变化：她那世人皆知的“贵族式发音”如今已少了些“贵族”的味道。这个现象折射出一个社会现实，那就是在过去英国贵族英语和平民英语是有区别的，当然，这种区别的存在有其历史渊源。但是随着社会的发展，这种差异越来越小，女王“贵族式发音”的平民化就是一个典型例子。由此表明英语语言发展的平民化倾向明显，贵族英语和平民英语正在进一步融合。
47．The Queen's broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because________.
A. she has been Queen for many years
B. she has a less upper class accent now
C. her speeches are familiar to many people
D. her speeches have been recorded for 50 years
48．Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English
A. “duaty”. B. “citee”．
C. “hame”. D. “lorst”．
49．We may infer from the text that the Journal of Pho- netics is a magazine on________.
A. speech sounds B. Christmas customs
C. TV broadcasting D. personal messages
50．What is the text mainly about
A．The relationship between accents and social classes.
B．The Queen's Christmas speeches on TV.
C．The changes in a person's accent.
D．The recent development of the English language.

Schools 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 sun pipes 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. It's easy to cut energy use and we offer schools a whole range of no and low cost 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.

A. Schools Given ￡375m to Teach Green Habits
B. How Much British Schools Contribute to Greenhouse Effect
C. Better Use of Money Saved Through “Green” Methods
D. Recruits in Fighting Against Climate Change

1答案：C　考查动词短语意义。句意：老师再三强调学生们在复述故事的时候不要遗漏任何重要细节。leave out“漏掉”；bring out“带来”；let out“泄露，放大”；make out“辨认出来”。由题意可知C项正确。
2答案：A　考查情态动词。句意：一个孩子竟然能解决这个问题而他们却不能。由句意可知此处表示的是惊讶的语气“竟然，居然”。四个选项中只有should有此含义，故选A。
3答案：B　“find＋宾语＋宾语补足语”为固定结构，因为他的建议被拒绝，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。
4答案：B　just a little“仅仅一点儿”。
5答案：A　It is convenient to you“对你来说方便”；convenient常用于此句式中，以it 作主语。
6答案：B　本题考查短语辨析。句意：那个医疗队由10名医生和6名护士组成。consist of“包括；由……组成”。make up“组成；构成”，其主语应该是组成部分。而add up“总计”，consist in“在于”都不符合语境。
7答案：D　本题考查介词用法。句意：他把糖果分给被分成四组的孩子们。divide sth. among“在三个或三个以上……之间分”，be divided into“被分成……”。
8答案：A　本题考查动词辨析。句意：中国政府已经多次阐明了在中日关系方面的立场。clarify“阐明；澄清”；prove“证明”；make sure“确信”；show“显示”。
9答案：B　本题考查短语辨析。句意：这些饭菜可以事先准备好，然后在你方便时送上来。at one's convenience“在某人方便时”；for its convenience“由于它的便利”不符合语境。而C项和D项搭配错误。
10答案：B　as...as结构中，第一个as是副词，后接形容词；后一个as是连词，所以正确语序是as big a house as。
11答案：C　attract“吸引”。句意为“这份工作最吸引我的地方就是有机会旅游”。
12答案：B　arrange“安排”。
13答案：D　答语第二句意为“我们将尽最大努力来帮助”。as far as we can“尽我们所能”。
14答案：D　a 表示泛指。句意为“——你看见一个铅笔盒了吗？今天早上我把它落在这儿了”。“——是个黑色的吗？我想我在某个地方看到过它”。
15答案：B　句意：争吵爆发了，这使得他脱离了家。break away from“摆脱，脱离”；break down“垮掉”；break out“爆发”，不用于被动语态。

17答案：A　根据上文可知他们夫妇俩被这种敬意和感情感动了。trade 表“交易”，此处用mark表示“标记”，与sign同一含义，如 a mark of respect“表示敬意”，因此选A。
18答案：A　根据下文的句意可知，夫妇俩谁也没有让别人看出他们的真实心理状态——他们不喜欢这幅画。从句子含义可知选A。
19答案：C　根据上文可知他们不喜欢这幅画。四个选项中只有C才能构成让人不喜欢的原因，因此选stupid。
20答案：D　根据上文的in private，相反的就是publicly，也就是：这种不满只是在私下说的，在公开场合还是赞美它，因此选D。
21答案：A　根据上文他只是说这幅画是现代艺术作品中优秀作品，委婉表达了他的感受：他不喜欢现代艺术，因此选A。
22答案：C　根据上下文可知，他妻子把这幅画“毁了”而不是 “藏起来”或者“还回去”，所以后来引发了下文人们的议论，因此选C。
23答案：C　根据上下文可知：丘吉尔夫人十二年之后也随他仙逝，下文说她死后没多久，因此选C。
24答案：A　根据上下文的语境可知：人们此时得知那幅画的归宿，它被毁了，由此引发了争论，因此选A。
25答案：A　根据上下文可知那个画家肯定会很伤心，四个选项中understandably“可以(被人)理解地”，unexpectedly“出乎意料地”，unreasonably“不合理地”，unthinkingly“轻率地”，因此选A。
26答案：D　根据上下文可知整个画界知道此事后很震惊也很愤怒，与shocked(震惊)一样的强烈情绪是angry，因此选D。
27答案：D　根据句意：历史学家很遗憾这份历史文献的消失，这句话是历史学家(Historians)说的，因此是考虑其作为“历史文献”的价值，因此选D。
28答案：B　根据上下文可知：大家一致认为丘吉尔夫妇没权力这么做，因此选B。
29答案：C　根据上下文：这是这位画家说的话，他会真实地描述自己眼中的丘吉尔，因此选C。
30答案：A　根据下文可知，直到肖像画好之后丘吉尔才看见这幅画，因此选progress“进展中的作品”，故答案选A。
31答案：C　根据下文可知：画家在画的过程中不让他看，也就是说直到画家完成后，他才有机会看到，因此选C。
32答案：B　根据句意：直到收到这幅画后才看见画像中的人是什么样子，因此选B。
33答案：A　根据句意：see...as表示“把……视为”，用as引出画家眼里的形象，故答案选A。
34答案：D　根据上下文可知：他憎恨年迈，看见画中自己的模样，自然会觉得受到伤害，因此选D。
35答案：D　根据句意：对这些问题，还没有一个使人人满意的回答，surprise“惊讶，惊奇”，disappointment“失望”，delight“高兴，快乐”，satisfaction“满意，满足”，因此选D。
36答案：A　推理判断题。由第一段可知，Great Britain, the United Kingdom, England的含义是不同的，可排除B、C和D。也可根据第二段第二句“Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands.”得出答案A。
37答案：B　细节考查题。由第二段第一句“The British Isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map.”可得出正确答案。
38答案：B　细节理解题。众所周知，Scotland是英国的一部分，再根据本文有关英国的知识和写地址按照由小到大的顺序，可得出答案选B。
39答案：A　推理判断题。由最后一段的第二句“This change shows the weakening of British Empire...”可知大英帝国已经不像原来那么强大了。
40答案：A　细节考查题。由第一段第一句“...a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland.”可以知道，罗马军队来自北方并经过England来入侵苏格兰。
41答案：C　句意理解题。本题考查的实际上是针对短文第四段倒数第三句中“In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle.”一句，该句的意思是：他们立刻站起来准备战斗。因此答案为C。
42答案：C　细节考查题。从第四段第七句“Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle.He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots.”可知是一个罗马士兵被蓟刺伤叫喊而惊醒了苏格兰人。
43答案：D　推理判断题。正是因为thistle在关键时刻帮助苏格兰人拯救了自己的国家，苏格兰人才喜爱它，并把它定为国花。
44答案：D　推理判断题。首先根据文章第一句话“Nearly a decade since Humphrey was shown the door to No.10 Downing Street, the prime ministerial house has a cat in residence again.”判断出文章讲述猫的事情，再根据第四段可知正确答案是D。
45答案：C　细节理解题。根据第二段“Sybil，named after Basil's wife in the classic 1970s situation comedy‘Fawlty Towers’．..”可知她的名字来自于情景喜剧中一个人物的名字。
46答案：A　细节理解题。根据第五段“She also enjoys a distinct advantage over Humphrey in that she comes with the family rather than the house.”可知Sybil是有主人的而Humphrey是只流浪猫。
47答案：D　推理判断题。文章的第二段对把握全文含义尤为重要。此段内容提到Jonathan Harrington想要研究一个人有记录的语音在半个世纪内的变化，而就他所知，这样的广播记录只有女王的。因此英国女王是作为研究对象的唯一人选，故选D。
48答案：B　细节理解题。第三、四段提到，女王的口音变化体现在元音音素的发音发生变化，而且是从贵族式发音向平民式转变。因此她在70年代使用的发音肯定是相对less noble的如citee, dutee, home, lost。故选B。
49答案：A　细节理解题。最后一段提到这项关于女王的pronunciation和accent的研究结果发表在了Journal of Phonetics上，据此可推断出这个杂志是有关语音学的。
50答案：C　主旨大意题。根据全文大意尤其是根据第二段段意可知。
51答案：A　主旨大意题。概括文章第一段可得到答案：英国政府将斥巨资帮助它们成为“绿色”环保学校。
52答案：C　细节理解题。从文章第二段最后一句可得到答案：英国学校主要是通过节能来成为“绿色”环保学校。
53答案：C　细节理解题。从第四段第二句“The buildings have grass roofs, geothermal heating and sun pipes that channel light into darker rooms”可得到答案：这个学校的建筑主要是用阳光照明，而不是供暖。
54答案：C　推理判断题，从文章第四段看，在Solihull所建的校园仅仅是个样板，这个节能方案还没有广泛推展开。A项推断过于绝对化；B项缺乏文章信息的支持；D项与文章中“It's easy to cut energy use and we offer schools a whole range of no and low cost ways to do it.矛盾。
55答案：B　词义猜测题。根据文章“节能”这一目的和前面“减少对能源的需求”，可推断出单词的意思是“有限的”。

There is a ban on driving motor vehicle on the island, which makes the island so quiet that music played on the piano can be heard. However, there are some disadvantages there. The ticket prices for most attractions are very high. What's worse, with the development of tourism, the original scenery on the island has been destroyed and polluted.
It is hoped that everyone should make every effort to keep its beauty.
