The European Union①
What Is the European Union?
The European Union is an organisation of European countries. The countries are independent② and are governed③ in different ways. In the United Kingdom, for example, the head④ of state is a king or queen. In France, on the other hand⑤ , the head of state is a president. But each of them sends representatives⑥ to the European Parliament⑦,which has some control over what happens⑧ in each of the member countries.
How Did It Start⑨
The idea of the European Union began in the 1950s⑩. The first members were France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Italy. Little by little⑪, the number increased⑫ during the second half of the twentieth century. By⑬ the year 2000, there were 15 member countries. The new countries were Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
How Many Countries Belong to⑭It Now?
In 2004, the European Union increased to 25 members. The Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Slovenia, plus⑮ the Mediterranean islands of Cyprus and Malta all became members. The expanded⑯ European Union has a population of⑰ more than⑱ half a billion people, twice as big as the population of the United States⑲.

欧盟
欧盟是什么?
欧盟是欧洲各国的一个组织。这些国家是独立的,并且它们用不同的方式管理。例如,英国的国家元首是国王或女王。另一方面,法国的国家元首是总统。但每个国家都向欧洲议会派遣代表,该议会对每个成员国所发生的事情都有一定的控制力。
欧盟是如何创建的?
创建欧盟这一想法始于20世纪50年代。最初的成员国有法国、联邦德国、比利时、卢森堡、荷兰和意大利。在20世纪后半叶,成员国的数量逐渐增加。到2000年,发展到15个成员国。新的成员国有奥地利、丹麦、芬兰、希腊、爱尔兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典和英国。
欧盟现在有多少个成员国?
2004年,欧盟扩展到25个成员国。捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、波兰、斯洛伐克共和国、斯洛文尼亚再加上地中海的塞浦路斯和马耳他都成了欧盟成员国。扩大后的欧盟拥有五亿多人口,是美国人口的两倍。

1.But each of them sends representatives to the European Parliament, which has some control over what happens in each of the member countries.
但是每个国家都向欧洲议会派遣代表,该议会对每个成员国所发生的事情都有一定的控制力。
句中what happens in each of the member countries为what引导的宾语从句,作介词over的宾语。what 常用来引导名词性从句,即主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:
(1)它在相应的名词性从句中有一定的意义,常表示“什么”、“所……的”、“……的样子”等。
(2)它在相应的名词性从句中作句子成分,而且常作主语、宾语或表语。
①What was once regarded as impossible has now become a reality.
过去认为不可能的事现在已经变成现实。
②No one can tell what_will_happen_next.
没人能够预见往后会发生什么。

让她担心的是她儿子沉迷于电脑游戏。
2.The expanded European Union has a population of more than half a billion people, twice as big as the population of the United States.

句中的twice as big as ...是一种倍数表达方式。倍数表达法的三种基本形式为:
(1) ...倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as ...
①Asia is four times as big as Europe.
亚洲是欧洲的四倍大。
(2) ...倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than ...
②Asia is four times bigger (big) than Europe.
亚洲是欧洲的四倍大。
(3) ...倍数+the size/length/width/height/depth of ...
③Asia is_four_times_the_size_of Europe.
亚洲是欧洲的四倍大。
[名师点津] 英语中,用twice或double表示两倍;三倍及三倍以上用times, 如three times, four times。
