　　1、Passage One
　　As you are students of English，it's very possible that you'll be interested In England. That's 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-England，Britain or Great Britain. Let's see what each of these names means.
　　If you look at a map of Europe，you'll see a group of islands-one larger island off the northwest coast，one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles（不列颠群岛）。The largest island of the British Isles is 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 ancient times，what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is 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.
　　There's another thing 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 Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state，called the Republic of Ireland. So 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？
　　61. English was first spoken in （ ）。
　　A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland
　　62. Britain is divided into （ ） .
　　A. England， Britain， and Wales B. England， Scotland， and Wales C. Wales， Scotland， and Great Britain D. Great Britain， Wales， and Scotland
　　63. 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 instead of Britain. D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.
　　64. 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 England D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage
　　65. Which of the following is an independent country？

2、Passage Two
　　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 to the sales as we don't 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 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 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 café to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him.

　　3、Passage Three
　　Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence（真谛）of sport-the 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 has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation's hopes，dreams and reputation. A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world's 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 he'll think of football. 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 than their country was somehow important after they won in 1996. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars，and even their houses，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 way better than all others？Not really. But it's nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.

　　A. obvious position on the map                B. successes in the football World Cup

4、Passage Four
　　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 that's not the case. In most countries， fewer than 20% of broadcasting hours are devoted to entertainment. U. S. figures are high-34.8%，and the funloving 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 course，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 of another-just another example of the businesslike Japanese philosophy. In the U. K.，the figure is 56.4%.The Italians have fewer educational programs than anyone else. They don't 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. That's understandable in a country experiencing social and political changes. Italians rely on TV to tell them what's 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 programs are shown around the world.

　　78. So far as the broadcasting hours devoted to entertainment are concerned， （ ）。

　　B. the U. S. figure is smaller than the U. K. figure
　　C. the U. K. figure is second to the Japanese figure
