参考译文
名为何物？
　　联合王国、大不列颠、英国、英格兰——这些不同的名称是何意
思，许多人感到困惑。那么，如果这些名称有区别的话，区别何在？
稍微了解一下英国历史，就可以帮助你解开这个谜题。
　　十六世纪时，邻国威尔士并入英格兰王国。随后，苏格兰在十八
世纪也加入进来，从而诞生了大不列颠王国。十九世纪时，爱尔兰王
国加入，组成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。最后，在二十世纪时，
爱尔兰南部脱离了联合王国，形成了今天的英国全称：大不列颠及北
爱尔兰联合王国。大多数人只是使用简称：“联合王国。”来自联合
王国的人被称为“英国人”，这意味着联合王国也经常被称为英国或
大不列颠。
　　同属于联合王国的这四个国家在某些领域紧密合作。像拥有同样
的货币和国防一样，他们也使用同一面国旗，联合王国国旗。然而，
它们之间仍有诸多区别。例如，英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰及北爱尔兰
实行不同的教育和法律制度。它们也有各自的传统，比如有自己的国
庆节和本国菜肴。它们甚至拥有自己的足球队，出征诸如“世界杯”
之类的赛事！
　　英国历史源远流长、别有趣味。探索英国历史帮助你更加深入地
了解这一国家及其传统。英国历史上有四个不同民族在不同历史时期
执掌这个国家。无论你身处英国何方，这些民族的遗迹都随处可见。
第一族群是古罗马人，于公元一世纪进入英国。他们建立了第一批城
镇，修建了道路。之后是盎格鲁—撒克逊人，于公元五世纪到达英
国，他们引入了英语的雏形，并改变了人们建造房屋的方式。维京人
于公元八世纪到来，留下了诸多新的词汇，并给英国境内的许多地方
命名。最后一个族群是诺曼人。十一世纪著名的黑斯廷斯战役之后，
诺曼人征服了英格兰，四处修建城堡，并改革了法律制度。诺曼人即
为法国人，许多法语单词因此慢慢进入了英语。
　　英国的历史文化引人入胜，可学之处比比皆是。学习这个国
家的历史，你的英国之旅将更为愉快。以首都伦敦为第一站，是
个不错的选择。伦敦是一个古老的港口城市，其历史可以追溯到
罗马时代。市内可供游览的历史遗址数不胜数，还有许多博物馆
陈列着来自英国各地的文物。在英国，历史与现代文化交融，新
旧传统并存，引人入胜。用心去观察，英国的过去与现在都将展
示在你面前，令你叹为观止。

　　（2025·潍坊高一期末）For as long as Paul Ninson can remember，
storytelling has been a part of his DNA. Growing up in Kumasi，
Ghana， with his grandparents， he was attracted by the historical stories
they shared.“I would contribute in some way to telling my own story.I
studied arts in school.When I reached university， I studied clothing
design but it wasn’t enough for me，” says Ninson.
　　One day， a friend of his returned from the USA with a camera and
that was when things began to get interesting.Ninson was introduced to a
new world of photography （摄影）.At the time， he had a side business
designing and printing T-shirts but he decided to close that business and
sold his iPhone to buy a camera.
　　To be different from the other Ghanaian photographers， Ninson took
some ideas from a book Blue Ocean Strategy.He made a living by taking
pictures during events but he knew photojournalism was his true
calling.“My content was different and the pictures I was posting were
different.That earned me acceptance to one of the best photography
schools in New York， the International Center of Photography，”
recalls Ninson.
　　All of a sudden， a world of chances opened up to Ninson.He spent
his free time at the New York public library among the thousands of books
and images.“I saw photos of Africa that I had never seen before， which
made me wonder why these images were in America， but not in
Africa.That was how the idea of a photo library began.”
　　Today， that small dream has turned into “the biggest photo library
in Africa” as Ninson calls it， the Dikan Center， which opened in
December last year with 30，000 books.“Now we are more than a
library.We have education programs， a story lab， and a community
center which is a space to enjoy free Internet and resources for everyone to
hang out，” says Ninson.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Paul Ninson如何成
为摄影师，并创立非洲最大的照片图书馆的故事。

　　（2025·商丘商师联盟高一期末）Every year the Weifang
International Kite Festival amazes visitors and netizens with innovative

　　This year， 622 kite artists from 59 countries and regions took part in
the event.There were a variety of activities， including daylight and night
kite shows， a kite flying competition， an exhibition of kite-themed
creative artworks and so on.

dragon kite， while a 175-meter-long centipede kite took several people to

whale， had to be flown by a team of a dozen men.
　　Many kites contained elements （元素） of traditional Chinese
culture.The 50-meter-long kite of a phoenix was something special，
together with the seventh fairy from Chinese legend.
　　Some people said the flying objects at the 40th Weifang International
Kite Festival reminded them of the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New
York， but they were hundreds of times bigger in scale and crazier.

　　（2025·洛阳高一期末）With the recent relaxation in travel， I
found myself visiting Innsbruck， the capital city of the state of Tyrol in
Western Austria.
　　This amazing destination is surrounded by snow capped mountains
and is perfect for a short break.You can even enjoy a breathtaking sight at
Innsbruck airport as the plane gently moves between the mountains on its
journey to the runway.
　　The city is a combination of modern and historic buildings， serving
both as a thriving （繁荣的） university town and a popular tourist
centre.Walking through cobbled （铺砌的） streets and specially
designed buildings， I could not help but be impressed by this awe-
inspiring city.I learned from my guide-book that Innsbruck was the
imperial capital 500 years ago when the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian
Ⅰ settled here， and it still lives up to its royal （王室的） connections
today with its lavish （奢侈的） and amazing buildings.I walked round
this city which was easy to explore on foot，
amazed at the dramatic backdrop of the Nordkette mountain range which
offers skiing， hiking via the Nordkettenbahnen cable railway which is
just a 20-minute ride from the centre of Innsbruck.The Goldenes Dachl
（Golden Roof）， an important landmark in Innsbruck shining in the
sunlight， can be viewed from the street， and took my breath away.
　　Of course， no visit to Innsbruck is complete without sampling
traditional Austrian food including my personal favourite — apple strudel
with vanilla cream.Roadside cafes are plentiful in the city and there is
nothing more relaxing than sitting in the sunshine， drinking coffee and
watching the world go by.Innsbruck stole my heart with its amazing
buildings， great mountains and friendly people.I cannot wait to return to
sample more of this delightful European city.

What shouldn’t I do in London？
　　Visit the Natural History Museum during the school holidays
　　Children love dinosaurs.16.（　　）.The Natural History Museum

　　（2025·济宁高一检测）Ireland has had a very difficult history.The
problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer
Ireland.For hundreds of years， the Irish people fought against the
English.Finally， in 1921， the British government was forced to give
independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two
“Irelands”.Northern Ireland， in the north， is part of the United
Kingdom.The Republic of Ireland， in the south， is an independent
country.
　　In the 1840s the main crop， potatoes， was affected by disease and
about 750，000 people died of hunger.This， and a shortage of work，
forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA， the UK，
Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems， the population fell
from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
　　For many years， the majority （多数） of Irish people earned their
living as farmers.Today， many people still work on the land but more
and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and
offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside，
where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
　　The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly.Oscar
Wilde， a famous Irish writer， once said that the Irish were “the
greatest talkers since the Greeks”.Since independence， Ireland has
revived its own culture of music， language， literature and
singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are
sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different
instruments such as the violin， whistles， etc.

　　（2025·张家界高一期末）Playing outside can do good to children in
many ways.As little as 10 or 15 minutes can support physical and mental
development.
　　Generally speaking， children should aim to do 60 minutes of
exercise per day.This could be running， climbing， skipping， jumping
or kicking a ball at the park.Exercise helps children to stay fit and keep a
healthy weight.It strengthens muscles and develops their balance.Exercise
is also good for mental health.It gives off endorphins in their brains，
which can make them feel happier.
　　Studies have shown that playing outside can develop children’s
motor skills： Gross motor skills are our ability to make large movements
with our arms or legs.There are lots of ways to develop gross motor skills
outside.For example， running around， walking on the roads which are
not smooth or climbing hills.Fine motor skills are our ability to make
smaller movements often with our hands.Children can develop these skills
by picking up small objects.
　　While playing outside， children can also build their vocabulary by
naming the objects or animals they see around them.Ask your child to
describe the view or find shapes in the clouds.Some children may find
they’re happier to talk outside.With fewer people around watching or
overhearing them， they can be more adventurous with their language.
　　Moving through new and different places can improve children’s
spatial awareness.Playing outside often means children have to use their
imagination and communication skills.They are likely to have fewer toys
outdoors and so have to create their own games.This can increase how
much children talk to each other.
　　So you should think about chances in your daily life for children to
spend time outdoors.Explore your local area.Or set up some activities or a
family sports day.
