Ⅰ.阅读理解

Every August，Spain's countryside comes alive with feasts.But hardly anyone actually lives here.People come one week a year to party in the villages of their ancestors.During the other 51 weeks，villages are deserted.“There was a time when this place was growing！But not anymore.” says Felix Sacristan，who's 55 and unemployed，living in his late grandfather's house.“The only ones left are the elderly.There are lots of abandoned homes.It makes for cheap housing，” he says.

Like much of Spain's central Meseta Table Plateau，this land is dusty and the climate is severe.People say it's like nine months of winter and three months of burning hell.“This land used to be for cereals(谷物)，but it's difficult to grow anything else，”Sacristan says.“And who wants to be a farmer these days now，anyway？”

In northern Europe，the Industrial Revolution pulled people to big cities centuries ago.But in Spain，that migration happened much later.The first wave occurred after the Spanish Civil War in the late 1930s；the second，after Spain's military governing ended in the late 1970s.Now there's been a third leaving，during the recent economic crisis.But it's not just on Spain's severe central land.Even villages in the country's most fertile northwest region，Galicia，are being depopulated．The Galician landscape once supported Spain's highest population，and half of all Spanish villages are located there.Now nearly half of these villages are abandoned.

“Some of the places I'm finding have been empty for 50 or 60 years，”Adkinson，a British­born real estate(房地产)agent who searches the countryside for abandoned properties and tries to match them up with foreign buyers，says.

Ⅱ.完形填空

The British Isles consist of two large islands.One is called Ireland and  1  Britain.Britain，or Great Britain，is the larger one of these two islands，and it is  2  into three parts：Scotland，Wales and England.

The United Kingdom is that part of the British Isles  3  by the Queen.It is made up of Scotland，Wales and England，that is，the  4  of Britain，and also about one sixth of Ireland，the northern part.The  5  of Ireland is self­governing.The  6  name of the United Kingdom is  7  “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”．

England is  8  and richer than Scotland，Wales and Northern Ireland，and has the most   9  of the United Kingdom，so people often use the  10  “England”and“English”when they  11  “Britain”and “British”．This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little  12  ．The Scots in particular are very  13  of their separate nationality.The Welsh too do not  14  themselves as English，and have a culture and  15  a language of their own.

Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801，but for forty years the “Irish  16  ”was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom.  17  ，Ireland was divided into two：Northern Ireland still  18  to the United Kingdom，and in 1922 the rest of Ireland  19  to found an Irish Free State，later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.

The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain，and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations.Unlike the major Commonwealth countries，it did not lift a finger to  20  British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.
