1、Section Prereading(Warming Up&Reading)课前预习自测 地理之谜人们也许觉得奇怪，为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史，就能弄清楚这个问题。首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合了起来。如今只要有人提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接着，英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世纪联合了起来，名字就改成了“大不列颠”。令人庆幸的是，当苏格兰的詹姆斯国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时，这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后，英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来以形成联合王国。然而，爱尔兰的南
2、部却不愿意而分离出去了，并建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来，而组成了联合王国，这一点从新的联合王国国旗上就可以看得出来。值得赞扬的是，虽然这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作，例如在货币和在国际关系上，但它们在制度上仍存在着很大的区别。例如，北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时，它们有着各自的足球队。在这四个国家中，英格兰是最大的。为了方便，它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部，中部地区叫做英格兰中部，最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫做英格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部，而多数大工业城
3、市都位于中部和北部。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的享有威名的足球队，有的城市甚至还有两个队。很遗憾，这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的有关英国历史和文化的东西。最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆，有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由罗马人建造的最古老的港口，有由盎格鲁撒克逊人始建于11世纪60年代的最古老的建筑，还有公元1066年由后来的诺曼人统治者建造的最古老的城堡。曾经有四批侵略者到过英国。最早的入侵者是古罗马人，他们
4、留下了他们的城镇和道路。其次是盎格鲁撒克逊人，他们留下了他们的语言和政体。第三是斯堪的纳维亚人，他们对词汇和北部的地名留下了影响；第四是诺曼人，他们留下了城堡和新的食物名称的词语。如果你到英国乡间去看看，你就会找到所有这些入侵者的痕迹。如果想使你的英国之旅不虚此行又有意义，你就必须留心观察。课堂合作探究 1.How many countries does the UK consist_of？(教材P9)英国是由几个部分(国家)组成的？consist of 由组成 This medical team five doctors and ten nurses.这支医疗队由五名医生和十位护士组成。Th

33、ct答案：D 根据第16空所在句子的描述可知，作者的这次表演失败了，所以本句句意应为“一切都应该是完美的我是这样认为的”。obvious“明显的”；reasonable“合乎情理的”；suitable“合适的，适宜的”；perfect“完美的”。D项符合逻辑。答案 5A.mixed up Bdressed up Cfolded up Dcovered up答案：B 本句描述了自己的穿戴，所以句意应为“我在后台等候，穿着黑色的紧身衣，扎着金色的腰带”。表示“盛装打扮”用dress up。mix up“混淆”；fold up“折叠”；cover up“盖住”。答案 6A.explained Bsu
34、ggested Cannounced Dpredicted答案：C 本句句意应为“典礼的主持人用清晰且洪亮的声音宣布接下来由我们班表演”。表示“宣布”用announce。答案 7A.music Baudience Cstage Dcurtain答案：B 演出自然少不了观众，演员们要面对观众表演，所以本句句意应为“我们的舞蹈班成员在一个两英尺见方的箱子上做固定的动作，面向观众”。所以B项正确。答案 8A.active Badventurous Ceasy Dextra答案：C 由前一句对“我”在这个舞蹈表演中的动作的描写和后一句描述“我”表演时的镇定、自信可知，本句句意应为“我的动作真的非常简单
35、”，所以C项符合句意。答案 9A.containing Bhiding Csharing Dkeeping答案：D 作者在本句中描述了“她”出现失误前的表演，本句句意应为“我脸上带着微笑，高昂着头，注意力如此集中以致我没有看到我的脚伸向了哪里”。表示“保持某种状态”用keep，所以D项正确。答案 10A.why Bwhat Cwhether Dwhere答案：D 这里用where 引导状语从句，句意为“我只顾着笑对观众，却没有注意自己的脚下”，故选D项。答案 11A.slipped Bwandered Cskipped Dwaved答案：A 由本文最后一句中的“I slipped during
36、 a dance performance”可知，“我”没踩上同伴的箱子，滑倒了。所以使用slip，故选A项。答案 12A.pride Bpleasure Ctear Dblood答案：D 自己的表演出现了失误，肯定非常尴尬，所以本句句意应为“我能够听到观众席上传来的咯咯笑声，我感到脸涨得通红”，故选D项。答案 13A.leave Bcheer Cnotice Dbelieve答案：C 一旦出错，保持微笑可以使观众注意不到你的错误，故本题选C项。答案 14A.advice Bgesture Cexample Dplan答案：A 由上一句中的“I remembered my dance teach

39、 Bembarrassed Csatisfied Dconfused答案：B 根据前面的叙述可知，作者当时的失误使得自己非常尴尬，所以本句句意应为“我当时很尴尬，但是我克制住了自己冲出舞台的冲动”。所以B项符合句意。答案 20A.Instead BHowever CIn return DIn total答案：A 分析上下文逻辑可知，此处表示“我”当时并没有走掉而是坚持到表演结束，所以本句句意应为“相反，我脸上带着微笑完成了整套动作”，故选A项。答案 .短文改错(2019河南郑州一中期中)Im glad to hear that you are coming to Sichuan in Augu

44、ake your trip more enjoyenjoyable.Im sure youll have a good time.Im looking forward to your comecoming.答案 难项分析：第三处：includedincluding 考查介词。including为介词，意为“包括”，用于名词/代词前；included为过去分词，用于名词/代词后。故将included改为including。第四处：thatwhich 考查关系代词。先行词为lakes，非限制性定语从句由“介词关系词”引导，故用关系代词which。第九处：enjoyenjoyable 考查形容词。此处是“make宾语宾补”结构，enjoyable是形容词用作宾补。答案
