(·襄阳樊城区高二月考) Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”， “the United Kingdom”， “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking， these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.

The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.

Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.

Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire. This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍英国的不同名字和它们具体所指的地方，虽然这些不同的名字都可以被用来代表这个国家，但是含义还是有差别的。

1．According to the passage, we know that         .

A．Great Britain has the same meaning as Britain

B．the United Kingdom has the same meaning as Britain or England

C．all the names in the first paragraph have the same meaning

D．all the names refer to England

答案：A　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands.”可知，Great Britain与 Britain所代表的含义是一样的。故选A。

2．It is clear that the British isles refer to         .

A．Britain, England and the UK

B．the two main islands and thousands of small ones

C．three countries and several islands

D．Great Britain or the United Kingdom

答案：B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map.”可知选B。

3．If you want to write to someone in Edinburgh that lies in Scotland, you should write the address as         .

A．Edinburgh, England

(·成都双流区高二检测)“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure，” says Mark Singer, technical director of cuisine at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.“Cooking and eating are both pastimes and pleasure.” The French might start their day with bread, butter, jam, and perhaps something hot to drink—it's a time of the day when the whole family can be united. Singer, born in Philadelphia, has lived in France for more than 40 years.

“Although things have changed greatly in the past 20 years when it comes to food in the country，”he says, “and what was a big affair with eating has been slowly softened up, there are still events in the year, like birthdays and New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve that are still reallyanchored in traditional food and cooking. But it's not every day.”

“Some people think French food life may be a performance，” adds Jennifer Berg, director of graduate food studies at New York University. “They want to believe that France is this nation where people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food. The reality is that most croissants are factory－made, and most people are buying convenience food, except for the very small group of people in high society. But part of our identity relies on believing that myth.”

In Italy, as in France, takeout is still relatively rare.“Eating fast is not at all part of our culture，” says Marco Bolasco, editorial director of Slow Food and an Italian food expert.“Our meals are relaxed, even during a lunch break.Food in Italy is love, nutrition and pleasure，” he says.An Italian child's first experience with food is not small round cakes or rice or eggs, but probably ice cream, notes Bolasco. Status and wealth play less of a role in food.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了法国和意大利的美食及其文化。

4．How have things about French food changed?

A．People prefer to cook at home.

B．More people choose to eat out.

C．Traditional food is less frequently cooked.

D．People eat faster than before.

答案：C　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，法国传统美食受到冲击，人们只是偶尔在重大节日中才去享用传统美食，并不是每一天，故选C项。

5．What does the underlined word “performance” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Bother.   B．Play.

C．Hobby.   D．Routine.

答案：A　词义猜测题。根据后文中的“people are spending five hours a day going to 12 different markets to get their food”可知，此处应是指部分人认为法国传统烹饪比较烦琐。故此处performance指“麻烦”。故选A项。

6．Why is Italian food compared with French food in the last paragraph?

A．To show the advantages of Italian food.

B．To prove the differences between them.

C．To reflect the customs of Italian food.

D．To indicate the common points of the two.

答案：D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In Italy, as in France”和“Food in Italy is love，nutrition and pleasure”，再结合第一段中的“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure”可知，作者比较这两种食物的目的是找出二者的共同点，阐明主旨，故选D项。

7．What's the main idea of the passage?

A．Food as identity. B．Food as pleasure.

C．Food as survival. D．Food as status.

答案：B　主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Food in France is still primarily about pleasure”，“Cooking and eating are both pastimes and pleasure.”以及最后一段中的“Food in Italy is love, nutrition and pleasure”可知选B项。

1．cuisine n. 烹饪；风味 2.pastime n. 消遣

3．anchor v. 使扎根；使基于

1．when it comes to 当提到……；就……而论

2．except for 除了……以外
