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.

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.

D 　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. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. "Oh，dear！" I thought. Yes，we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.　　　　66. 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 don't have enough money to go looking for bargains　　　　67.

A 67. B 68. A 69. D 70. C 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.　　　　71. What is the author's 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.　　　　D. To prove that football is the word's most important sport.　　　　72.

According to the passage， Argentina is world-famous because of its （ ） .　　　　A. obvious position on the map                B. successes in the football World Cup　　　　C. excellence at most important sports           D. large number of sports fans and supporters　　　　74.
