• 2．People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries：England，Wales，Scotland and Northern Ireland.You can clarify this question if you study British history.
     First there was England.Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century.Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well.Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain".Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well.Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way.However，the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government.So only Northern Ireland joined with England，Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.
     To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas （eg，the currency and international relations），but they still have very different institutions.For example，Northern Ireland，England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
     England is the largest of the four countries，and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones.The zone nearest France is called the South of England，the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North.You find most of the population settled in the south，but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England.Although，nationwide，these cities are not as large as those in China，they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two!It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors.For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans.There you will find out more about British history and culture.
  
  （1）What's the part of Ireland that separated from England called？

  
  A．Wales.
  B．Scotland.
  C．Republic of Southern Ireland.
  D．Northern Ireland.
  （2）What's the main idea of paragraph 2？

  
  A．The history of England.
  B．How was the UK formed.
  C．How is England divided.
  D．The differences in the four countries.
  （3）What does the four countries have in common？

  
  A．Educational system.
  B．Legal system.
  C．Football team.
  D．The currency.
  （4）Which zone has the most population of England？

  
  A．The South of England.
  B．The Midlands.
  C．The North of England.
  D．The West of England.

• 3．Let us suppose it is now about A．D．2060.Let's believe it is about forty-four years from now.Of course，things have changed and life is very different.
     Voyages to the moon are being made every day.It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.At a number of scenic spots on the moon，many hotels have been built.The hotels are air-conditioned，naturally.In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window.Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.
     What are people eating now？People are still eating food.They haven't yet started to take on heir （繼承） supply of energy directly.They may some day.But many foods now come in pill forms，and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
     Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago，most of our planet's surface has to be filled.The deserts are irrigated （灌溉） with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests.The harvest is always good.
     Farming，of course，is very highly developed.Very few people have to work on the farm.It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
     Such would be our life in 2060.
  
  （1）When was the passage written？

  
  A．In about 1960.
  B．In about 2004.

• 4．We've got two dogs，Roxie and Cosita．My childhood memories are full of the cats we've loved，from my dad's cat，Bandit，to our beloved white cat Cecelia，whose gray fur formed a perfect heart shape across her stomach．But since our last cat friend，Sunny the orange cat，died too young，we've been cat-less．The sudden loss of Sunny was hard to move on from，especially for my mom．

     The little kitten was such a perfect birthday gift，and Dad even didn't need to leave the house to find her for my mom's happy birthday!When it came time to name our new furry friend，we took inspiration from a song famously performed by Wilson Pickett and called her"Sally"．

  Dear Tom，
      I'm delight to introduce you something about Chinese cultural heritage.
      Hard-working and intelligently，Chinese people have made great contributions to the world civilization.Nowadays，many Chinese cultural heritage sites were preserved very well.If you have a chance to travel to China，I recommend yourself to visit Beijing and Xi'an，where many cultural sites are worth visited.Apart from the cultural heritage sites，the natural scenery in Guilin is such beautiful that you will be deeply impressed.Besides，some simple folk custom in the villages in Yunnan province are likely to remind you the good old days，during which living a harmonious life with the nature in the villages，as you know，are of great benefit.
  Yours，
