24、世纪时，邻国威尔士并入英格兰王国。随后，苏格兰在十八世纪也加入进来，从而诞生了大不列颠王国。十九世纪时，爱尔兰王国加入，组成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国。最后，在二十世纪时，爱尔兰南部脱离了联合王国，这导致了我们今天有了英国全称：大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。大多数人只是使用简称：“联合王国”。来自联合王国的人被称为“英国人”，这意味着联合王国也经常被称为英国或大不列颠。同属于联合王国的这四个国家在某些领域紧密合作。像拥有同样的货币和军事国防一样，它们也使用同一面国旗，联合王国国旗。然而，它们之间仍有诸多区别。例如，英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰及北爱尔兰实行不同的教育和法律制度。它们也有各自的传统，比如

26、在英国各地修建城堡，并对法律制度进行了修改。诺曼人即为法国人，因此许多法语单词慢慢成了英语的一部分。英国的历史文化引人入胜，可学之处比比皆是。学习这个国家的,历史，将使你的英国之旅更加愉快。首都伦敦就是一个很好的起点，因为它是一个古老的港口城市，其历史可以追溯到罗马时代。市内可供游览的历史遗迹数不胜数，还有许多博物馆陈列着来自英国各地的古文物。在英国，历史与现代文化交融，新旧传统并存，引人入胜。如果你留心观察，你会惊奇地发现自己可以看到它的过去和现在。自查语基落实基本知能.核心词汇根据语境写出正确的单词1Confucius_ 孔子的哲学2one of Confucius _ 孔子的后代之一3_
