    As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.
    If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands--one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.
    Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?
    In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.
    There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?
    【小题1】English was first spoken in ____.

    A．BritainB．EnglandC．Great Britain D．Ireland
    【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
    A．Wales is the richest of the three.
    B．Scotland is the largest of the three.
    C．Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.
    D．Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.
    【小题3】The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is _____.
    A．part of Britain
    B．part of British Isles
    C．the official name of the whole country
    D．the largest country of all mentioned in the passage
    【小题4】Which of the following is the best title?
    A．Students of English
    B．Different Names of England
    C．Different Languages Spoken in England
    D．The Republic of Ireland

    三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A．B．C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项的标号涂黑。
    A
    I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
    "Dad, dad!" I cried. "This wine is too old to drink."
    "Son, hold on," he said.
    "No, you can't drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago."
    "Wait, let me tell you..."
    "Would you like me to throw it away for you?" I asked.
    "Son, wait a second," he said. "Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true."
    When I was young, I didn't have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
    In our society, we forget this simple role: The longer you wait for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.
    We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don't get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class－work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
    56．Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?
    A．Because it smelt terrible.
    B．Because it was mixed with something else.
    C．Because his father drank too much that night.
    D．Because it had been kept for years.
    57．What the author's father said______.
    A．made the author puzzled when he was a little child
    B．was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author
    C．threw the author into deep thought then
    D．was an excuse to drink the wine
    58．In the author's opinion, if we do things too quickly we will______.
    A．do it better                                                                 B．save much time
    C．graduate from college more quickly          D．miss something useful to us in life
    59．Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?
    A．Well begun is half done.                       B．More haste, less speed.
    C．Failure is the mother of success.       D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

    D
    Equipped only with a pair of binoculars(双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch(红腹灰雀), Britain’s birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show bird-watching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.
    Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches(雀科鸣鸟) on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.
    “Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest,” Stephen Moss said in his newly published book.—A bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching — which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman’s love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.
    Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2’s Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million views and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45,000 people promised to put up a box.
    Birdwatchers networking system first came to the attention of the nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera—a golden-winged songbird from North America—to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and the next day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent., where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sighting texted to their phones.
    “Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers.” Said David Croack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine “The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment.”
    68. The word “satiated” in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “______”.
    A. affected                   B. shared     C. satisfied     D. narrowed
    69. What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora Chrysoptera was put on the network?
    A. Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.
    B. Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.
    C. Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.
    D. Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.
    70. Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?
    A. Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.
    B. The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.
    C. Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.
    D. The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.
    71. The passage mainly tells us about _______ in UK.
    A. the history of birdwatching.                B. a growing passion for birdwatching
    C. the impact of media on birdwatching          D. birdwatching as a popular expensive sport

    Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist, best known for her children’s books featuring animal characters such as in the children’s classic -- The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
    Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters.
    During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District. It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife. She studied the area’s natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously. But her old-fashioned, Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for a young lady. However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology.
    In her 30’s, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid’s book, The Tale of Pew Rabbit. Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne. This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status. Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony.
    Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kid’s books full-time. Using profits from her books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time. In her 40’s, Bestrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer. She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children. In all she authored 23 publications.
    Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust. Her books carry on selling well globally, in many different languages. Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons.
    Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created. These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collects and fans of her literature throughout the world.
    【小题1】 What can we learn about Beatrix Potter’s early life?

    A．She learned drawing skills from her tutors.
    B．She was very sociable and outgoing.
    C．She was greatly inspired by the beauty of nature.
    D．She was encouraged to think creatively and independently.
    【小题2】Why did Beatrix Potter’s parents oppose the idea of her marriage to Norman Warne?
    A．They did not believe she was mature enough to get married.
    B．They thought Warne was only interested in Beatrix Potter’s wealth.
    C．They believed that the couple’s characters were mismatched.
    D．They considered Warne to be too common for their daughter.
    【小题3】According to the passage, which part of the UK did Beatrix Potter love most?
    A．Manchester.B．Scotland.C．The Lake District.D．London.
    【小题4】In which of the following areas did Beatrix Potter show an interest during her life?

    B
    Hong Kong’s movement has urged the Walt Disney company to cut the maximum number of people allowed into its new park after visitors complained about long queues at trial opening over the weekend.
    The park admitted about 30,000 guests on Sunday for a rehearsal, but visitors found themselves waiting in line for up to three hours for some popular rides. Many waited for up to half an hour at fast food outlets.
    The park, which was built to take a maximum capacity of 30,000 visitors, officially opens next Monday. But Hong Kong Financial Secretary Heary Tang urged the company to consider lowering the upper limit.
    “If it takes in 30,000 people, the queues will be very long and buying lunch would take a very long time,” Tang told reporters late on Monday. “Disney has told us that queues at its other parks are also very long during peak periods, but people may not be used to lining up for so long. So we are discussing with Disney on whether it could manage this more flexibly.”
    Asked if the full capacity should be lower than 30,000, he said, “We are now examining this. We should handle it flexibly.”

    The park is expected to draw massive crowds, particularly from Chinese mainland. But, not all news associated with the park has been encouraging.
    60．When visitors where lining up for tickets for a long time, they were____.
    A．excited     B．upset C．nervous    D．dissatisfied

    A．HK Disney opens up.
    B．HK urges Disney to cut visitors capacity at the new park.
    C．HK encourages natives to visit Disney.
    D．Disney attracts visitors from Hong Kong and Chinese mainland.

    A．visitors showed great interest in Disney
