Ⅳ.阅读理解

To the west and off the European Continent, there are several thousands of islands on the Continental shelf(大陆架). They are generally called the British Isles. Of all these isles, the largest one is called Great Britain. For convenience, it is often shortened to Britain. Still to the west of Great Britain is the second largest island known as Ireland. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland(UK) is made up of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and a number of smaller islands around them. The total area of the country is some 240,000 square kilometers with a population of about 57 million.
Great Britain runs nearly 1,000 kilometers from south to north and extends, at the widest part, about 500 kilometers from west to east. Its area is some 230,000 square kilometers. Great Britain is traditionally divided into three parts, or countries：England in the south, Scotland in the north, and Wales in the southwest. There are discernible(可辨别的) differences between them even now.
England is the largest and most developed of all the three. Its area, about 130,000 square kilometers, takes up nearly 60% of the whole island. Its population is more than 46 million which makes up 85% of the country’s whole population. The importance of England is so great in Britain that some foreigners just say“England” when they mean Britain. The same is true of the custom of speaking of the British people as the English who are the majority in the United Kingdom.
Scotland is the second largest both in area and population. It has an area of about 78,760 square kilometers, less than 30% of the whole island, with a population of 5 million, less than one­tenth of the whole population.
Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population. In area, 20,700 square kilometers, makes up less than 9% while its population, 2.7 million, does not exceed(超过)5% of the whole.
1．The British Isles is made up of ________.
A．the European Continent and Great Britain
B．the U．K. and the Republic of Ireland
C．England, Scotland and Wales
D．several thousands of islands to the west and off the European Continent
2．Which of the following figures shows the correct position of Great Britain?

A．England is six times larger than Wales in area.
B．England is six times larger than Scotland in area.
C．Scotland is six times larger than Wales in area.
D．Great Britain is six times larger than Wales in area.

1．divide v．分割，分开
生义：v.除，除以
(1)30 divided by 6 is 5.
30除以6等于5。
(2)5 divides into 30 6 times.
5除30等于6。
2．capital n．首都，首府
生义：n.[U]资本，资金，[C]大写字母
adj.大写的
(1)You’ll need more capital if you want to open your own business.
要创办自己的企业，你还需要更多的资金。
(2)Please write in capitals/in capital letters.

Ⅱ.1.如今只要人们提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。　He found the place much changed.
2．值得称赞的是，这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作(例如在货币和国际关系方面)，但是有些制度仍然区别很大。　He found it quite natural that she should save him—she did save him.
3．尽管英国任何一个城市都不像中国的城市那样大，但是它们都有着自己享有威名的足球队，有的城市甚至还有两个队！　Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams.
4．很遗憾，这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。　It’s a pity that you can’t stay longer.
5．如果你想要使你的英国之旅不虚此行，你就必须把眼睛睁得大大的。　(1)Please keep the floor clean.
(2)What he said made me very angry.
Ⅲ.1.A　[be used to do sth.相当于be used for doing sth.“被用于做某事”；be used to doing sth.“习惯于做某事”。]
2．C　[句意为：如今只要人们提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。refer to“论及，谈到”，符合题意。stick to坚持，固守；keep to不偏离道路等，坚守；point to指向，表明。]
3．B　[此处考查get sth. done相当于have sth. done。]
4．B　[此处break away表示“脱离”。break down坏掉，分解；break up(关系等)破裂，驱散；break out(战争、火灾、疫病等)突然爆发。]
5．B　[be known as“作为……而出名，被称作”；be known to“为……所熟知”；be known for“因……而出名”。]
6．D　[those用来替代前面的特指的复数名词，若是单数可数名词或不可数名词则用that，此处those替代前面的cities。it通常指代前文中提到的同一个事物或对象；one泛指同类中的一个。]
7．D　[因the industrial cities与build之间是动宾关系，故第一空用过去分词短语作后置定语；attract吸引，attack攻击，进攻。]
8．D　[句中it作形式宾语，代替真正的宾语——不定式短语to invade England successfully。difficult为宾语补足语，so、much和that均不用作形式宾语，故选D。]
Ⅳ.1.D　[细节考查题。文章第一段的第一、二句是解题的关键。]
2．B　[推理判断题。从第二段的第三句可推断出答案。]
3．A　[推理判断和计算题。由总数的85%是46 million，可推算出答案。]
4．A　[数字计算题。England的面积是130,000 square kilometers，而Wales的面积是20,700 square kilometers。由此可知应该选A项。]
