In recent years, however, many schools have 55 the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 56 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans (牛仔裤). One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey (运动套衫) because 57 wants to look different 58 the other children in the class.

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSER SHEET I.Passage One As you are students of English, its very possible that youll 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 Iwould like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people usethe namesEngland, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means. If you look at a map of Europe, youll see a group of islandsone larger island off thenorthwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the BritishIsles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called GreatBritain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰). Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes theWord “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People inThese different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countriesbecame one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. Sothe English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island. Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “theUntied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of thecountry. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island isan 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 NorthernIreland”. Now do you know what each of them means?61. English was first spoken in . A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland62. Britain is divided into . A. England, Britain, and Wales B. England, Scotland, and Wales C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain D.

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 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 got to 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 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 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 .

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 nations hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football Word 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 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 that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their mone
