The United Kingdom is that 18 of the British Isles ruled over by the Queen.

The 21 name of the United Kingdom is 22 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.
23 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 24 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 25 “England” and “English” when they 26 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 27 . The Scots in particular are very 28 of their separate nationality. The Welsh do not regard 29 as English, and have a culture and even a 30 of their own.

In China there are 286,500 Shui （水族） people, the majority of whom live on the upper parts of the Longjiang and Duliu rivers, which go across plains and vast areas of forests in southern Guizhou Province. Some Shuis have their homes in the northwestern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The area in which the Shuis live is a land of plenty. Wheat, rape （油菜）, and ramie are grown, along with a great variety of citrus and other fruits. The forests are a source of timber （木材） and medicinal herbs. The Duliu and other rivers are full of fish. The Shui language is in the Zhuang-Dong branch of the Chinese-Tibetan language family. The Shuis used to have an old writing script. Some of their words were pictographs （象形文字）, while others resembled Chinese characters written upside down. Except for scores of these ancient words that are still used for religious purposes, the Shuis use written Chinese in their daily lives.
The Shuis have lots of colourful oral literature and art. Their literature includes poetry, legends, fairy tales and fables. Stories and fables praise the diligence, bravery, wisdom and love of the Shui ethnic group and satirize the stupidity of the rulers. With rich content and vivid plots, Shui tales are usually highly romantic.
Their songs, which are usually sung without the accompaniment （伴奏） of musical instruments, fall into two categories. The “grand songs” are sung while they work, whereas the “wine songs” are meant for wedding feasts or funerals. The Shui people are good dancers. The “Lusheng Dance” and the “Copper Drum Dance” are the most popular dances, enjoyed by all on festive occasions.
36. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. General Introduction to the Shui
B. The History of the Shui
C. The Hometown of the Shui
D. The Traditional Cuture of the Shui
37. The areas that the Shuis live in ______.
A. are mainly mountainous
B. are abundant in various fruits
C. are mostly in northern China
D. produce wheat, but lack fruits
38. The underlined word “satirize” in the third para-
graph probably means “______”.
A. praise B. describe
C. make fun of D. promote
B
If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记） card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes（漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
39. The underlined words in this passage mean
“_______”.
A. be ready to help others
B. make good use of one’s friends
C. be a little ahead of others
D. gain something at others’ expense
40. Which of the following is NOT true according to
the passage
A. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off
without first paying your fare.
B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free
meals if you’re living in the hotel.
C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees ac-
cording to the registration of their working
hours.
D. The workers are always honest with their
working hours.
41. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the Finnish society is of very high moral（道
德）level
B. there are many loopholes in everyday life in
Finland
C. in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge
you anything
D. everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for
they have faith in themselves
42. Which of the following is the best title for the
passage
A. Life in Finland
B. A Society with “Foolish” People
C. What a Life
D. Honest Accounts of the Finns
C
The Yaos（瑶族）live in mountain communities scattered over 130 counties in five southern China provinces and one autonomous region. About 70 percent of them live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and the rest live in Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Jiangxi provinces.
Half of the Yaos speak the Yao language, which belongs to the Chinese-Tibetan language family; others use the Miao or Dong languages. As a result of close contacts with the Han and Zhuang cultures, many Yaos also have learned to speak Chinese or Zhuang.
Before 1949, the Yaos did not have a written language. Ancient Yaos kept records of important affairs by carving notches（槽口）on wood or bamboo slips. Later they used Chinese characters. Hand-written copies of words of songs are on display in the Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi. They are believed to be relics of the Ming Dynasty. Ancient stone tablets engraved（雕刻）with Chinese characters can be found in a lot of Yao communities.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, cattle and iron tools spread among the Yaos in Guangxi and Guangdong. They dug ditches and built troughs（水槽）to draw water from springs for daily use and irrigation. Sideline（副业）occupations such as hunting, collecting medicinal herbs, making charcoal（木炭）and weaving were pursued side by side with agriculture. The Yaos practised an interesting form of co-operation called “singing-while-digging”. This can still be seen in Guangxi today. At times of spring ploughing, 20 to 30 households（住户）work together for one household after another until all their fields are ploughed and sown. While the group is working, a young man stands out in the fields, beating a drum and leading the singing. Everyone sings after him.
43. Where do most Yaos live now
A. In Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and
Jiangxi provinces.
B. In the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
C. In the southwestern part of China.
D. In nearly all the provinces across China.
44. What can we know from the passage about Yao
people’s language
A. Most Yao people speak their own In-
do-Chinese language.
B. Yao people do not understand Zhuang lan-
guage.
C. The Yaos can also communicate using Miao
language.
D. Yao people speak the same language as Tibe-
tan people.
45. Which of the following can be inferred about the
written language of the Yaos
A. Their own written language was created in
the Ming Dynasty.
B. Important affairs were written down on wood
and bamboo with pens.
C. The Yaos created songs and put them down
during the Ming Dynasty.
D. The Yaos have been able to print books writ-
ten in Chinese since the Ming Dynasty.
46. Which of the following is the most important
industry for the Yaos
A. Hunting.
B. Collecting medicinal herbs.
C. Weaving.
D. Agriculture.
D
Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name ” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names Where do they come from What do they mean
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪）; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
47. Which of the following aspects do the surnames
in the passage NOT cover
A. Places where people lived.
B. People’s characters.
C. Talents that people possessed.
D. People’s occupations.
48. According to the passage, the ancestors of the
Potter family most probably _______.
A. owned or drove a cart
B. made things with metals
C. made kitchen tools or containers
D. built houses and furniture
49. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors
lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born
son to become a world leader, the baby might
be named _______.
A. Beatrice Smith
B. Leonard Carter
C. George Longstreet
D. Donald Greenwood
50. The underlined word “descendants” in the last
paragraph means a person’s _____.
A. later generations
B. friends and relatives
C. colleagues and partners
D. later sponsors

根据短文内容回答问题
[1]Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different kinds of languages being spoken in London alone. With such a various culture, adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.
[2]Forget the stereotypes （成见）. Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don’t think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and easily get into the culture.
[3]Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different areas that have their different traditions and languages. Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
[4]Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces.__________, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to, so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very necessary.
[5]Be polite. Always apologise for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect people’s personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons’ book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.
[6]Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Kidding, teasing, or “taking the mick” are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it, “you never make fun of someone you don’t like”.
1. What's the best title of the passage (no more
than 6 words)
_______________________________________2. Complete the following statement with words
from Paragraph 1.(no more than 2 words)
Because of a different culture, it is a very
difficult task for anyone to _________________

3. Why does Britain have so many different cultures (no more than 15 words)
_______________________________________
4. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4. (no more than 4
words)
_______________________________________
5. What does the word “this” (Line 4, Paragraph 6)
probably refer to (no more than 5 words)

English代替。
25. A “England”和“English”是两个单词。
26. A 表示当人们称呼Britain或British时，常
常用England或English代替。

推知芬兰日常生活中的诸多漏洞使芬兰成为喜
欢“占别人便宜”者的天堂。
40. C 细节判断题。第三段中提到旅馆中的顾客可
以在旅馆的餐厅免费就餐，下一段中提到雇主
只是根据雇工说出的工作时间支付报酬，由此
可判断C项不正确。

42. B 标题判断题。文章的第一段引出了文章的话
题，是文章的中心段，foolish加了引号表示否
定，所以B项最能概括文章大意，而且十分新
颖。
43. B 细节理解题。由短文第一段的第二句可知，瑶族大多居住在广西壮族自治区。

the Yaos speak the Yao language, which belongs
to the Chinese-Tibetan language family; others

Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi. They
are believed to be relics of the Ming Dynasty.”暗

录下来。

Eating rice as their basic food, the Dai enjoy beef, chicken and duck as well as fish and shrimp. Dai women’s clothes come in a variety of styles. The colour of their clothes is mainly white, sky-blue or pink. Dai men often wear short jackets.
The Dai festivals, closely related to religious activities, include the Door-Opening Festival in mid-June, the Door-Closing Festival in mid-September, and the Water-Splashing Festival in spring.
What do you think of this You should go and visit Xishuangbanna sometime.
Yours,
Xiao Ming

In China there are 286,500 Shui （水族） people, the majority of whom live on the upper parts of the Longjiang and Duliu rivers, which go across plains and vast areas of forests in southern Guizhou Province. Some Shuis have their homes in the northwestern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The area in which the Shuis live is a land of plenty. Wheat, rape （油菜）, and ramie are grown, along with a great variety of citrus and other fruits. The forests are a source of timber （木材） and medicinal herbs. The Duliu and other rivers are full of fish. The Shui language is in the Zhuang-Dong branch of the Chinese-Tibetan language family. The Shuis used to have an old writing script. Some of their words were pictographs （象形文字）, while others resembled Chinese characters written upside down. Except for scores of these ancient words that are still used for religious purposes, the Shuis use written Chinese in their daily lives.
The Shuis have lots of colourful oral literature and art. Their literature includes poetry, legends, fairy tales and fables. Stories and fables praise the diligence, bravery, wisdom and love of the Shui ethnic group and satirize the stupidity of the rulers. With rich content and vivid plots, Shui tales are usually highly romantic.
Their songs, which are usually sung without the accompaniment （伴奏） of musical instruments, fall into two categories. The “grand songs” are sung while they work, whereas the “wine songs” are meant for wedding feasts or funerals. The Shui people are good dancers. The “Lusheng Dance” and the “Copper Drum Dance” are the most popular dances, enjoyed by all on festive occasions.
36. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. General Introduction to the Shui
B. The History of the Shui
C. The Hometown of the Shui
D. The Traditional Cuture of the Shui
37. The areas that the Shuis live in ______.
A. are mainly mountainous
B. are abundant in various fruits
C. are mostly in northern China
D. produce wheat, but lack fruits
38. The underlined word “satirize” in the third para-
graph probably means “______”.

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记） card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
With so many loopholes（漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.
39. The underlined words in this passage mean
“_______”.
A. be ready to help others
B. make good use of one’s friends
C. be a little ahead of others
D. gain something at others’ expense
40. Which of the following is NOT true according to
the passage
A. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off
without first paying your fare.
B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free
meals if you’re living in the hotel.
C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees ac-
cording to the registration of their working
hours.
D. The workers are always honest with their
working hours.
41. We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. the Finnish society is of very high moral（道
德）level
B. there are many loopholes in everyday life in
Finland
C. in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge
you anything
D. everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for
they have faith in themselves
42. Which of the following is the best title for the
passage
A. Life in Finland
B. A Society with “Foolish” People
C. What a Life
D. Honest Accounts of the Finns
C
The Yaos（瑶族）live in mountain communities scattered over 130 counties in five southern China provinces and one autonomous region. About 70 percent of them live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and the rest live in Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Jiangxi provinces.
Half of the Yaos speak the Yao language, which belongs to the Chinese-Tibetan language family; others use the Miao or Dong languages. As a result of close contacts with the Han and Zhuang cultures, many Yaos also have learned to speak Chinese or Zhuang.
Before 1949, the Yaos did not have a written language. Ancient Yaos kept records of important affairs by carving notches（槽口）on wood or bamboo slips. Later they used Chinese characters. Hand-written copies of words of songs are on display in the Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi. They are believed to be relics of the Ming Dynasty. Ancient stone tablets engraved（雕刻）with Chinese characters can be found in a lot of Yao communities.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, cattle and iron tools spread among the Yaos in Guangxi and Guangdong. They dug ditches and built troughs（水槽）to draw water from springs for daily use and irrigation. Sideline（副业）occupations such as hunting, collecting medicinal herbs, making charcoal（木炭）and weaving were pursued side by side with agriculture. The Yaos practised an interesting form of co-operation called “singing-while-digging”. This can still be seen in Guangxi today. At times of spring ploughing, 20 to 30 households（住户）work together for one household after another until all their fields are ploughed and sown. While the group is working, a young man stands out in the fields, beating a drum and leading the singing. Everyone sings after him.
43. Where do most Yaos live now
A. In Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and
Jiangxi provinces.
B. In the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
C. In the southwestern part of China.
D. In nearly all the provinces across China.
44. What can we know from the passage about Yao
people’s language
A. Most Yao people speak their own In-
do-Chinese language.
B. Yao people do not understand Zhuang lan-
guage.
C. The Yaos can also communicate using Miao
language.
D. Yao people speak the same language as Tibe-
tan people.
45. Which of the following can be inferred about the
written language of the Yaos
A. Their own written language was created in
the Ming Dynasty.
B. Important affairs were written down on wood
and bamboo with pens.
C. The Yaos created songs and put them down
during the Ming Dynasty.
D. The Yaos have been able to print books writ-
ten in Chinese since the Ming Dynasty.
46. Which of the following is the most important
industry for the Yaos
A. Hunting.
B. Collecting medicinal herbs.
C. Weaving.
D. Agriculture.

Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “What’s your name ” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
Have you ever wondered about people’s names Where do they come from What do they mean
People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪）; someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
47. Which of the following aspects do the surnames
in the passage NOT cover
A. Places where people lived.
B. People’s characters.
C. Talents that people possessed.
D. People’s occupations.
48. According to the passage, the ancestors of the
Potter family most probably _______.
A. owned or drove a cart
B. made things with metals
C. made kitchen tools or containers
D. built houses and furniture
49. Suppose an English couple whose ancestors
lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born
son to become a world leader, the baby might
be named _______.
A. Beatrice Smith
B. Leonard Carter
C. George Longstreet
D. Donald Greenwood
50. The underlined word “descendants” in the last
paragraph means a person’s _____.
A. later generations
B. friends and relatives
C. colleagues and partners
D. later sponsors

根据短文内容回答问题
[1]Just like the United States, Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different kinds of languages being spoken in London alone. With such a various culture, adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.
[2]Forget the stereotypes （成见）. Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don’t think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and easily get into the culture.
[3]Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different areas that have their different traditions and languages. Understanding different cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.
[4]Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces.__________, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to, so trying to become familiar with smaller areas is very necessary.
[5]Be polite. Always apologise for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect people’s personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons’ book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.
[6]Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Kidding, teasing, or “taking the mick” are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it, “you never make fun of someone you don’t like”.

Eating rice as their basic food, the Dai enjoy beef, chicken and duck as well as fish and shrimp. Dai women’s clothes come in a variety of styles. The colour of their clothes is mainly white, sky-blue or pink. Dai men often wear short jackets.
The Dai festivals, closely related to religious activities, include the Door-Opening Festival in mid-June, the Door-Closing Festival in mid-September, and the Water-Splashing Festival in spring.

Yours,
Xiao Ming
