• 7．Four Famous Castles In Britain The country is abundant of castles，some ruined，and others still surviving today.They are a reminder of their either glorious or violent past.Read on for the one that interests you most.
     Bodiam Castle，East Sussex
     Built primarily for defence in the 14th century，the castle looks perfectly protected from the outside.You might think you could expect much of the same inside it，but sadly not.The war reduced the inside to ruins.The fairytale appearance of the castle standing within its broad moat（護(hù)城河）makes an indescribably spectacular picture.
     Hever Castle，Kent
     As a queen's childhood home，it is the perfect picture-book castle.Its thick creeper- covered walls are surrounded by double channels.With large collections including portraits，paintings，furniture and treasures，it attracts a lot of tourists here.Among its collections are two private books signed by the queen herself，which are historically valuable.
     Windsor Castle，Berkshire
     If you want to have a better understanding of more than 900 years' royal（王室的）life，then there really is no better place to visit than this splendid castle.It is the largest and oldest castle that is still occupied now in the world.In 1992，a fire swept through the castle，destroying 115 rooms.The repairing was completed five years later.
     Tintagel Castle，Cornwall
     Few places can compete with Tintagel Castle in romance and mystery.The ruins that you see today date from the 13th century，which，however，didn't stop it to become a popular at- traction.Due to the legend of King Arthur，for centuries the castle has fired writers' and artists' imaginations on how the heroic king's life began here.
  
  （1）What do Bodiam Castle and Hever Castle have in common？

  
  A．They are surrounded by water.
  B．They own many art collections.
  C．They were built for defence.
  D．They are still lying in ruins
  （2）In which castle are there people living now？

  
  A．Bodiam Castle，East Sussex.
  B．Hever Castle，Kent.

• 8．The name England comes from the words "Angle land".The Angles were people who came from northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries，after the Romans had left.The French name for England is Angleterre，which also means "Angle land".There were also invasions （侵略） of southern England by Saxons and Jutes （people from another part of northern Germany）.English people are sometimes called Anglo-Saxons.The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland，Ireland，Cornwall and into Western France （the area known as Brittany）.
     England at first became a series of kingdoms，the strongest of which was Wessex （the name comes from West-Saxon）.The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example，the name Sussex comes from South-Saxon，Essex from East-Saxon，and East Anglia from East-Angle.The Vikings then came from Denmark，and later the Normans invaded from France.Eventually England，Wales，Scotland and Northern Ireland were united，forming the United Kingdom.
     The English language is the main language spoken throughout England，although there are many different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words，because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek （languages used at the time of the Romans，and used in religion and education until recent times），German （the language of the Angles，Saxons and Jutes），F(xiàn)rench（the language of the Normans），Gaelic/Scots （Celtic languages） and Danish （the language of the Vikings）.
     There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language，mainly due to immigration （移民） from Europe or the Commonwealth （countries which used to be part of the British Empire）．
  
  （1）What's the first paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．The origin of the name England.
  B．The Celts used to live in England but left for some reason.
  C．Southern England once was attacked by Saxons and Jutes.
  D．Angles and Saxons came from different parts of northern Germany.
  （2）In the history of England，

  once was the strongest kingdom.
  A．Sussex
  B．Wessex
  C．Essex
  D．East Anglia
  （3）What can we learn from the third paragraph？

  
  A．English words are hard to spell and to pronounce.
  B．England had been invaded by most of the countries of Europe.
  C．The English language was influenced by several foreign languages.
  D．It's hard for people who have different English accents to communicate.
  （4）Why do many people in the UK speak a foreign language nowadays？

  
  A．Because they are required to learn a foreign language at school.

  C．Because they have moved from other countries.
  D．Because they have worked in other countries.

• 9．At a large forest park in eastern Beijing，11 birds on the state -level protection list were recently released，which owed to Beijing's big step in wildlife protection.
     These birds had recovered after the Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center rescued and took care of them. "We will speed up our efforts to push the establishment of district-level wildlife rescue centers to guard the health of wildlife，" said Mr.Du，director of the center.The center was set up in 2001 and built a wildlife rescue base in the capital's Shunyi District in 2005.Staff at the base have rescued and rehabilitated over 30，000 wild animals in total.
     Wildlife protection has been strengthened in Beijing in recent years.On June 1，the city's newly adopted regulation （法規(guī)） on wildlife protection took effect，introducing stricter and more concrete measures to protect the environment and wildlife.For example，the regulation states clearly that Beijing bans hunting throughout the year，compared with the previous regulation which bans hunting during the periods of March to May and September to November each year.The new regulation also gives more serious punishment for illegal hunters.
     After years of monitoring，the species and quantity of wild animals in Beijing are continuously increasing，with the number of terrestrial spinal wild animals（陸地脊椎野生動物） growing from 461 species in 1994 to more than 500.The habitat of the endangered bird has expanded from Fangsh District to the whole city.
     "The enforcement of the new regulation marked a new stage in Beijing's wildlife protection work，" said Mr.Du."We will step up the publicity of the regulation and raise citizens' awareness of wildlife protection，"Du said."In our protection of mountains，rivers，forests，farmlands，lakes and grasslands.we take into full consideration the requirements of ecological corridor construction （生態(tài)走廊建設(shè)），food- chain construction and wildlife and their habitat protection."
  
  （1）What has the wildlife rescue base done？

  
  A．It has sped up its efforts to recover the birds.
  B．It has built a large forest park in eastern Beijing.
  C．It has saved lots of wild animals in need of help.

  A．It bans hunting in Beijing all the year round.
  B．It sets up nationwide wildlife rescue centers.
  C．It raises people's awareness of wildlife protection.
  D．It monitors the wildlife protection for a long time.
  （3）Which of the following statements did Mr.Du agree with？

  
  A．Beijing will enter a new stage after taking the regulation.
  B．Beijing citizens need to know more of the new regulation.
  C．Food-chain construction needs the whole society's attention.
  D．The natural environmental conditions are not considered yet.
  （4）What could be the best tile of the passage？

  B．Beijing's Newly Adopted Regulation on Wildlife Protection
  C．Beijing's Big Progress in Wildlife Protection with New Regulation
  D．The Establishment of Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center

• 10．For many kids，the Internet is at their fingertips．From computers to smartphones，a web of information is open to them．According to a new report，about three out of four kids aged 12 to 15 connect the Internet using a mobile device from time to time．Many younger kids are online too．
     Julian Zeitlinger，9，from New Jersey，uses his computer to watch videos and play games．To keep him safe online，his parents monitor his web use and discuss Internet safety with him． "I ask my parents whether something is nice or bad，" Julian says．
     Mobile devices offer more ways than ever to share personal information．The information can be dangerous in the wrong hands．A study found that 62% of children aged 8 to 17 have had an unpleasant online experience．
     Have you ever had to enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up for a website？That safety measure is there because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act （COPPA）．The law says sites for kids under 13 cannot collect personal information，such as a phone number or full name，without a parent's permission．
     This July，the Federal Trade Commission（FTC） will update COPPA for the first time since the law was created in 1998 when there were no smart phones．The nature of the way kids get online has changed，F(xiàn)TC lawyer Phyllis Marcus said．
     When the changes take effect，COPPA will apply to mobile devices and newer forms of advertising．It will expand what falls under "personal information" to include videos，photographs，and services that give users location．
     COPPA doesn't cover everything that can go wrong online．That is why kids and parents need to know what to look out for and to stop and think before sharing information online．
     "There is a misunderstanding that if a site is following COPPA，it is totally safe，" says privacy expert Shai Samet．He runs kidSAFE，which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe． "It's important that kids know how useful the Internet is but that it also can be dangerous if you are not careful．" he adds．
  
  （1）Julian's parents check his web use to make sure

  ．
  A．he doesn't watch too many videos
  B．he doesn't play computer games
  C．he controls his online time
  D．he stays safe on the Internet
  （2）What's one of the changes with COPPA？

  
  A．It broadens the concept of personal information．
  B．It prevents users from making their location public．
  C．It covers everything that goes wrong online．
  D．It says no to any kind of advertising．
  （3）People often hold the wrong idea that

  ．
  A．formal websites are always safe
  B．the Internet is becoming safer and safer
  C．COPPA can ensure their complete safety
  D．daily checks prevent future online problems
  （4）Why does the author write the passage？

  
  A．To ask parents to look out for their kids．
  B．To talk about online safety for children．
  C．To introduce a new law．
  D．To sell an online product．

• 11．The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is one of the most diverse nations in the whole of Europe.This article will show you how to adapt to the varied culture of England，Scotland，Wales and Northern Ireland.
     Get used to small spaces.The United Kingdom is not only a huge country but also has big cars，houses and spaces.（1）

  Houses，apartments，cars and appliances are all smaller than what you are accustomed to，so you have to get used to smaller things.
     Be polite.Always apologize for running into someone，even if it is their fault，as it makes you out to be a kind person.Respect people's personal space and always wait in line.
     Accept jokes.（2）

  Bantering and taking the mickey are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.Teasing someone is a common way to show friendship.As one Briton put it， "You never make fun of someone you don't like."
     Get used to the driving.The British drive on the left side of the road.（3）

  Also the cars in the UK have the steering wheel（方向盤） on the right side，so you need to get used to this as well.Be especially careful with your turns and remember that right turns in the UK cross opposite traffic in the same way that left turns do in the US and other countries that drive on the right.
     （4）

  The British use different words and pronounce words differently.Look around on the Internet or buy books about words and expressions used in Britain.
     There's more to the UK than London.London is an excellent city and the most popular in the United Kingdom.（5）

  And the green countryside is a defining feature of the UK，which is something that should be explored.
  
  A.Get used to the lifestyle.
  B.Get used to the language.
  C.Different regions have their own traditions and even languages.
  D.Be sure that you do so，or the result could be terrible.
  E.However，the UK does not have the luxury of space.
  F.But there are many other cities filled with culture and wonder.
  G.One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humour.

  BEAUTHFUL IRELAND
  AND ITS TRADITIONS Ireland's beautiful countryside has always had a great influence on its people and traditions.The country has a long history of producing great writers and poets.Its beautiful countryside excites and inspires all，offering something for each of the senses.
      The peaceful landscape of the "Emerald Isle" and its many green counties is a true feast for the eyes，with its rolling green hills dotted with sheep and cattle.And down by the sea，the roar of the ocean waves and cries of the seabirds make up the music of the coast.
      On a quiet morning in the mountains，feel the sun on your skin，and breathe in the sweet scent of fresh flowers while birds greet the new day with their morning song.With all this beauty，it is not surprising that lreland has developed strong traditions that include music，dancing，and dining.To have a chance of experiencing this，stop by a village pub and relax with a glass of wine or a local beer.Better yet，enjoy a delicious traditional Irish Beef Stew.
      If you're lucky，you might be able to enjoy some traditional music and dancing，too.And if you introduce yourself to a friendly face，you are more than likely to experience local culture and customs first-hand.
  
  Dear Clover，
         I'm glad to hear that you are coming to study with us for a month as an exchange student．                    
      Looking forward to meeting you．（期盼見面）
