10、 are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the centre.Passage 1As 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 ofte

11、n called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you knowwhat these namesmean. 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 eachof these names means.If you look at

12、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 isBritain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.Britain is divid

13、ed 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

14、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 namestands for the whole island.There s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you mayhear people say “ the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Nort

15、hern Ireland ” . That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island or 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 G

16、reat Britain and Northern Ireland ” . Now do you know what each of them means?16. English was first spoken in .A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland17. Britain is divided into .A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Brit

17、ain, Wales, and Scotland18. 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.19. The Unit

18、ed Kingdom of Great Britain and NorthernIreland is .A. part of BritainB. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage20. Which of the following is an independent country?A. Wales B. ScotlandC. Northern Ireland D. The Rep

19、ublic of IrelandPassage 2“ Have you read the newly published edition of HarryPotter? ” “ Have you ever been fooled on April 1st? ” “ What have you given your boy/girlfriend on Valentine s Day( 情 人節(jié) ） ? ” You may not feel even a little bit surprised when you are confronted with these questions. Howev

20、er, chances are that your parents cannot understand a word. In the wake of globalization, culture has gone beyond border and is flying all over the world, with a great impact on Chinese youths.By getting in touch with western culture, we are forced to think over things that we took for granted previ

21、ously.We ve gradually shrugged off someold notions that mayhinder our development, such as “ uniformity is always good ” , or “ authority is always in the right” . I think this is thegreatest benefit we can get from this impact. We tend to be critical with what “ should be” in our forefathers eyes.

22、Only by this critical mind can weinitiate somechanges; only through change can our nation develop.However, the cultural impact of globalization does not necessarily result in a deep insight into our own society among youths. We may probably lose something instead of gaining something without indepen

23、dent thinking and investigation.When you are enjoying a Hollywood movie, don t think that all the things described in it are true. Even the US president has cautioned they always contain something partial（ 偏袒的 ） or even distorted. So we know that what we see of the US may not be a true picture. And

24、even if it istrue sometimes, we don t have to copy all of that. No matter how weappreciate foreign culture, we should never throw away our national culture. Globalization is two?way communication. You get to know the world and the world gets to know you. If we don t have anything that can cause fore

25、igners to marvel, we maylose our charm as a nation. The national characteristics can be internationalized if we treasure and develop them. Only by doing this can we truly participate in globalization and contribute to our own nation and to the whole world.It s incorrect and uncivilized to refuse to

26、have a look at what our guests have brought us. But when we are welcoming and appreciating those gifts, we should bear in mind that we are forever the masters of our land and mind.21. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Advantages and disadvantages of a foreign culture.B. Critical mind on a for

According to. D. With regard to.23. What is the disadvantage of the culture impact mentioned in the passa

According to the author, we will perhaps lose the value of our national culture if .A. we make use foreign culturesB. we stick to the trad

30、itional culturesC. we give up the characteristics of the traditional cultureD. we appreciate the foreign culture without critical mindPassage 3The “ balance of nature ” is not an empty phrase. Nature provides a population to occupy a suitable environment and cuts down surplus population to fit the a

31、vailable food supply. One means of reducing surplus population is predators（食肉動物 ）; others are parasites（ 寄生蟲 ） and diseases. Also, population density produces nervous disorders and even drives animals to mass migrations, like the lemmings（旅鼠 ）of Norway who plunge into（ 跳入 ） the sea.That predators p

32、opulations increase to control other animals has long been known. Many years ago, the Hudson s Bay Companyrecords revealed that the fox population went up and down about a year after the rabbit population had gone up and down.Sometimes a situation occurs in which the predators population is reduced

33、to a level below that which nature can readily replace. On Valcour Island in Lake Champlain（New York）, a costly campaign resulted in the elimination of predatory animals only to have birds and small animalsincluding grouse（ 松雞 ） and hares, popular game（ 獵物 ） increase for four years afterward. Then l

34、acking predator control, nature resorted to cut down these populations.Jamaica had an example of nature s persistence in providing animals for existing habits. Sugar planters, about75 years ago, imported mongooses to control rats. The mongooses killed off the rats and, with plentiful food, multiplie

35、d. Rats became scarce and the mongooses ate lambs, kids, puppies（ 小狗 ）, and wildlife. Eventually, food became scarce and the mongoose s population declined.26. According to the article, the phrase“ balance ofnature ” means .A. the relation of wildlife to manB. the adequacy of the food supply to supp
