16、 there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.50 As you are students of English, its very possible that youll
17、be interested in England. Thats where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names
18、England, Britain of Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, youll see a group of islands-one larger island off the northwest coats, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列填群岛). The largest island of the British
19、 Isles in Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰)。Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “ England“ is used instead of “Britain“. Why so?In anceient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries
20、. People in these different counntries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England in the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing
21、 that confuses people; sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. “That is the official name of the country. Northern Irelnd is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. S
22、o we have the names of “England“, “Britain“,“ Great Britain“, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. Now do you know what each of them means?51 English was first spoken in _.（A）Britain（B） England（C） Great Britain（D）Ireland 52 Britain is divided into _.（A）England, Britain, an
23、d Wales（B） England, Scotland, and Wales（C） Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain（D）Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland 53 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（A）Wales is the richest of the three.（B） Scotland is the largest of the three.（C） Sometimes England is used instea
24、d of Britain.（D）Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles. 54 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and northern Ireland is _.（A）part of Britain（B） part of British Isles（C） the official name of the whole country（D）the largest country of all mentioned in the passage 55 Which of th
25、e following is an independent country?（A）Wales（B） Scotland（C） Northern Ireland（D）The Republic of Ireland 55 Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go
26、to the sales as we dont like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London, We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we
27、got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station, so I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap
28、 price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardb
29、oard box. “Oh, dear! “I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.56 In January _.（A）lots of people go shopping for discount（B） people have a lot of money to spend after Christmas（C） all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holiday（D）people
30、 dont have enough money to go looking for bargains 57 In this passage, the word“ bargain“ could best be replaced by“ something _.“（A）given to people（B） offered at a reduced price（C） offered, sold or bought which is expensive（D）sold for the purpose of reaching an agreement 58 The husband and wife in
31、the story _.（A）wished to buy a TV（B） went to the sales the year before（C） often went to the sales to buy clothes（D）were usually not short of money after Christmas 59 The phrase “split up“ in the second paragraph means“_“（A）break apart（B） cause to break（C） become pieces（D）go in different directions 6
32、0 After their days shopping, they _.（A）were happy with their bargains（B） had got everything they wanted（C） got more than they had hoped for（D）had to go back to the sales the next day 60 Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence(真谛) of sport-the
33、pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he had to think only about winnin
34、g. He is responsible for entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina(阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that hell t
35、hink of tootball. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars ,and even their hou
36、ses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina where the finals were played.So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every
37、way better than all others? Not really. But its nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.61 What is the authors main purpose in the passage?（A）To explain the role of sport（B） To compare Scotland with Argentina（C） To show that Argentina is better than all others
38、（D）To prove that football is the worlds most important sport. 62 In the second paragraph, the word“ summit“ means“_“（A）award（B） summary（C） highest-point（D）mountain top 63 According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its _.（A）obvious position on the map（B） successes in the football
39、World Cup（C） excellence at most important sports（D）large number of sports fans and supporters 64 According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will _.（A）fail to succeed（B） lose enjoyment（C） be successful（D）be unreasonable 65 What is the authors attitude towards international
40、 games?（A）Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield（B） Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.（C） Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.（D）Nations that give much attention to internat
41、ional competitions are world-famous in many ways. 65 When the TV viewer turns on his set, what sort of programs does he have to choose from? You might think there would be more programs devoted to entertainment than to anything else, but thats not the case. In most countries, fewer than 20% of broad
42、casting hours are devoted to entertainment. U. S. figures are high-34.8%, and the fun-loving Canadians are even higher with 44%. Except Canada and Italy, all countries give more broadcasting time to education than to either information ( news, documentaries and so on) or entertainment programs. Of c
43、ourse, few educational broadcasts take place during peak viewing times. In Japan though, more than 60% of broadcasting time is taken up with education of one kind or another, just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U. K. , the figure is 56.4%. The Italians have fewer edu
44、cational programs than anyone else. They dont go in for entertainment either. Only about ten percent of viewing time is devoted to dramas and serials, quiz shows, music, sports, etc. You will find more news information programs on Italian TV than anything else. Thats understandable in a country expe
45、riencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them whats going on-and events are happening almost too fast to follow. The percentage of time the U. S. devoted to news and documentary programs is much smaller. After education, most TV time is given to entertainment. Many of these
46、 programs are shown a- round the world.66 Based on this passage, the percentage of TV broadcasting hours devoted to education is greatest in _.（A）Japan（B） Italy（C） Canada（D）The United States 67 More news information programs are broadcast on Italian TV than anywhere else because the Italians_.（A）are
47、 interested in what is happening in the world（B） like to undergo social and politcal changes（C） prefer to learn news information in TV rather than in newspapers（D）expect TV to tell them the latest news about what is going on in their country 68 So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainme
48、nt are concerned, _.（A）the Japanese figure is the highest in the figure（B） the U. S. figure is smaller than the U. K. world（C） the U. K. figure is second to the Japanese figure（D）the Canadian figure is higher than that of any other country 69 From this passage, we learn that most TV stations in the world devoted more broadcasting hours to _.（A）educational programs（B） entertainment programs（C） news information programs（D）dramas, serials, music, sports and so on 70 In the United States,_.（A）TV programs are shown for world audience to watch（B） most of TV bro
