The 21 name of the United Kingdom is 22 “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.23 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 24 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 25 “E
10、ngland” and “English” when they 26 “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 27 . The Scots in particular are very 28 of their separate nationality. The Welsh do not regard 29 as English, and have a culture and even a 30 of their own.Ireland became part of the Un

16、 there are 286,500 Shui （水族） people, the majority of whom live on the upper parts of the Longjiang and Duliu rivers, which go across plains and vast areas of forests in southern Guizhou Province. Some Shuis have their homes in the northwestern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The area i
17、n which the Shuis live is a land of plenty. Wheat, rape （油菜）, and ramie are grown, along with a great variety of citrus and other fruits. The forests are a source of timber （木材） and medicinal herbs. The Duliu and other rivers are full of fish. The Shui language is in the Zhuang-Dong branch of the Ch
18、inese-Tibetan language family. The Shuis used to have an old writing script. Some of their words were pictographs （象形文字）, while others resembled Chinese characters written upside down. Except for scores of these ancient words that are still used for religious purposes, the Shuis use written Chinese
19、in their daily lives. The Shuis have lots of colourful oral literature and art. Their literature includes poetry, legends, fairy tales and fables. Stories and fables praise the diligence, bravery, wisdom and love of the Shui ethnic group and satirize the stupidity of the rulers. With rich content an
20、d vivid plots, Shui tales are usually highly romantic. Their songs, which are usually sung without the accompaniment （伴奏） of musical instruments, fall into two categories. The “grand songs” are sung while they work, whereas the “wine songs” are meant for wedding feasts or funerals. The Shui people a
21、re good dancers. The “Lusheng Dance” and the “Copper Drum Dance” are the most popular dances, enjoyed by all on festive occasions. 36. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. General Introduction to the ShuiB. The History of the ShuiC. The Hometown of the Shui D. The Traditional Cuture of th
22、e Shui37. The areas that the Shuis live in _. A. are mainly mountainousB. are abundant in various fruitsC. are mostly in northern ChinaD. produce wheat, but lack fruits38. The underlined word “satirize” in the third para-graph probably means “_”.A. praiseB. describeC. make fun ofD. promoteBIf you ha
23、ve a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, s
24、ay that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the
25、 free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登记） card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the
26、hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly. With so many loopholes（漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty adv
27、antages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the
28、Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.39. The underlined words in this passage mean “_”.A. be ready to help othersB. make good use of ones friendsC. be a little ahead of othersD. gain something at others expense40.
29、Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees ac-cording to the registration
30、of their working hours.D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.41. We can learn from the passage that _. A. the Finnish society is of very high moral（道德）levelB. there are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandC. in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingD. every
31、one in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves42. Which of the following is the best title for the passage ?A. Life in FinlandB. A Society with “Foolish” PeopleC. What a LifeD. Honest Accounts of the FinnsCThe Yaos（瑶族）live in mountain communities scattered over 130 counties in
32、 five southern China provinces and one autonomous region. About 70 percent of them live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and the rest live in Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Jiangxi provinces.Half of the Yaos speak the Yao language, which belongs to the Chinese-Tibetan language family;
33、 others use the Miao or Dong languages. As a result of close contacts with the Han and Zhuang cultures, many Yaos also have learned to speak Chinese or Zhuang.Before 1949, the Yaos did not have a written language. Ancient Yaos kept records of important affairs by carving notches（槽口）on wood or bamboo
34、 slips. Later they used Chinese characters. Hand-written copies of words of songs are on display in the Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi. They are believed to be relics of the Ming Dynasty. Ancient stone tablets engraved（雕刻）with Chinese characters can be found in a lot of Yao communities.Duri
35、ng the Ming and Qing dynasties, cattle and iron tools spread among the Yaos in Guangxi and Guangdong. They dug ditches and built troughs（水槽）to draw water from springs for daily use and irrigation. Sideline（副业）occupations such as hunting, collecting medicinal herbs, making charcoal（木炭）and weaving wer
36、e pursued side by side with agriculture. The Yaos practised an interesting form of co-operation called “singing-while-digging”. This can still be seen in Guangxi today. At times of spring ploughing, 20 to 30 households（住户）work together for one household after another until all their fields are ploug
37、hed and sown. While the group is working, a young man stands out in the fields, beating a drum and leading the singing. Everyone sings after him.43. Where do most Yaos live now?A. In Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Jiangxi provinces. B. In the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. C. In the southw
38、estern part of China.D. In nearly all the provinces across China.44. What can we know from the passage about Yao peoples language?A. Most Yao people speak their own In-do-Chinese language.B. Yao people do not understand Zhuang lan-guage.C. The Yaos can also communicate using Miao language.D. Yao peo
39、ple speak the same language as Tibe-tan people.45. Which of the following can be inferred about the written language of the Yaos?A. Their own written language was created in the Ming Dynasty.B. Important affairs were written down on wood and bamboo with pens.C. The Yaos created songs and put them do
40、wn during the Ming Dynasty.D. The Yaos have been able to print books writ-ten in Chinese since the Ming Dynasty.46. Which of the following is the most important industry for the Yaos?A. Hunting.B. Collecting medicinal herbs.C. Weaving.D. Agriculture.DUsually, when your teacher asks a question, there
41、 is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of current answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or g
42、iven names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that m
43、ean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪）; someone who was cal
44、led Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very imp
45、ortant workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Cartera person who owned or drove a cart; Pottera person who made pots and pans.The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenters great-great-great-grandfathe
46、r probably built houses and furniture.Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John was very tall could ca
47、ll himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.Some family names were made by adding something to the fathers name. English-speaking people added s or son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts familys a
48、ncestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the ODonnells are descendants of the same Donnell.47. Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover? A. Places where people lived. B. Peoples characters

53、inds of languages being spoken in London alone. With such a various culture, adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you. 2Forget the stereotypes （成见）. Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Dont think
54、that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open-minded and easily get into the culture. 3Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different areas that have their different traditions and languages. Understanding diffe
55、rent cultures will help you avoid making mistakes.4Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces._, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to, so trying to become familiar w
56、ith smaller areas is very necessary.5Be polite. Always apologise for knocking into someone, even if it was their fault. Respect peoples personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips. 6Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing as
57、pects of British culture is humor. Kidding, teasing, or “taking the mick” are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isnt necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it, “you never make fun of someone you dont like”.1. Wha
