As you are students of English, its very possible that youll be interested in England. Thats where the language was first
25、 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. Lets see what each of the
26、se names means. If you look at a map of Europe, youll 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 (不列颠群岛 ). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The sm
27、aller island is Ireland (爱尔兰 ). 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 lan
28、guage. 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.Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “t
29、he Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is 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”,
30、and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( ) A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland (2). Britain is divided into( ) A. England, Britain, and Wales B. England, Scotland, and Wales C. Wales, Scot

Scotland is the largest of the three C. Sometimes English is used instead of Britain D. Britain is the only name of the larg
32、est island of British Isles (4). 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 England D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage (5). Which of the following is an independent country?
33、 A. B. Wales C. Scotland D. Northern IrelandThe Republic of Ireland 2. Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go church, which disturbed some friends and rel
34、ations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father accepted their criticism. He decided to institute a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal exam
35、ination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡游 ) in my fathers 18 -foot knockabout. WE spent the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough f
36、ood for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see clearly across the water in the distance.(1). What was the original reason for holding the summer school? A. Friends and relatives thought the
37、 children should learn religion. B. The father wanted the children to learn more about religion. C. The children got poor grades in their regular school. D. The regular school teachers neglected the children. (2). The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to ( ). A. have fun. B. test the authors sailing ability C.
