The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other Britain. Britain or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern Ireland. The rest of Ireland is self-governing. England is the largest, most populous, and generally speaking, the richest part. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as English, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but it soon grew discontented, and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the greatest headache of British Parliament(国会). At last, Ireland divided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal to the Crown(英国王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form an Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland. 1. Which of the following is the largest in area? A. The British Isles. B. Great Britain. C. The United Kingdom. D. England. 2. Which is the largest island of the British Isles? A. Ireland. B. Britain. C. England. D. Northern Ireland. 3. The United Kingdom is made up of_________. A. Scotland, Wales, and England B. Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland C. the whole of Britain and Ireland D. the whole of Britain and Northern Ireland 4. Strictly speaking, which of the following is wrong? A. “English” refers to the people of England. B. “The Scots” refers to the people of Scotland. C. “English” refers to all the people of the UK. D. Only one-sixth of Ireland belongs to the UK. 5. Who will be glad if we use “England” when we mean Britain? A. The British. B. People of England. C. People of the Republic of Ireland. D. the Welsh. (B) “Other countries have a climate; in England we have weather.” This statement, often made by Englishmen to describe the special meteorological(气象学的) conditions of their country, is both revealing and true. It is revealing because in it we see the Englishman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere. Its truth can be proved by any foreigner who stays in the country for longer than a few days. In no country other than England, it has been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day! Day may break as a warm spring morning, an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may be pouring down. At midday conditions may be really wintry with the temperature down by about eight degrees or more centigrade. And then, in the late afternoon the sky will clear, the sun will begin to shine, and for an hour or two before darkness falls, it will be summer. In England one can experience almost every kind of weather except the most extreme. (Some foreigners, by the way, seem to have the impression that for ten months of the year the country is covered by a dense blanket of fog; this is not true.) The problem is that we never can be sure when the different types of weather will occur. Not only do we get several different sorts of weather in one day, but we may very well get a period of winter in summer and a period of summer in winter. This uncertainty about the weather has had a definite effect upon the Englishman’s character; it tends to make him careful, for example. The foreigner may laugh when he sees the Englishman walking on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a raincoat or carrying an umbrella, but he may well regret his laughter later in the day! The English weather has also helped to make the Englishman adaptable(可适应的). It has been said that one of the reasons why the English colonized so much of the world was that, whatever the weather conditions they met abroad, they had already experienced something like them at home! And, of course, the weather’s being different provides a constant topic of talk. Even the most silent Englishman is always prepared to discuss the weather. And, though he sometimes complains bitterly of it, he would not, even if he could, exchange it for the more predictable climate of other lands. 6. In the first paragraph the writer tries to tell us_________. A. what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere B. the foreigners who travel in England like to stay for a long time C. the weather of England is different from that of other countries D.

A. there are four seasons in a year B. it’s often sunny in the late afternoon C. it’s very cold at midday D. it’s not very common for the same kind of weather to stay long 8. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The Englishmen always go out with an umbrella or a raincoat. B. The Englishmen seldom have outdoors activities. C. The Englishmen enjoy talking about the weather of their country. D. The Englishmen’s character is influenced by the uncertain weather. 9. The last sentence of the passage means_________. A. the weather of England can be predictable B. the Englishmen sometimes complain bitterly of the weather C. the Englishmen will try best to change the weather D. the Englishmen can adapt themselves to the weather Ⅳ. 短文改错 The first travelers to the Ireland were Scottish. 1.__________ They found much of land there were poor, 2.__________ and the grass was enough for sheep and cows 3.__________ because it rains a lot.
