What image does the word “Britain” conjure up(令人想到)in your mind? Big Ben,the frequently changing weather, fish and chips... But have you ever wondered what British people think means “Britain”?

English playwright William Shakespeare and pop group. The Beatles are the icons which inspire a sense of national pride in British people, according to a recent survey.

More than 2,000 people were asked what aspect of Britain made them feel most proud. Shakespeare topped the list, followed by the National Trust, a charity which protects places of historical or environmental interest. These beat the British currency, the pound, and the BBC.

Surprisingly, the royal family only made it to seventh on the list. “The royal family, while popular, does not inspire widespread pride,” said a spokesman for Demos, the think tank(智囊团) which carried out the research. “However, it is certainly the case that through their unique capacity to hold and lead national events the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride.”

Terence Blacker, a reporter for The Independent, believes the study shows the nature of new patriotism(爱国主义). “It turns out that modern British patriotism is not really about nationhood at all,” he wrote.

According to the poll, the most impressive symbols of national pride concerned private conduct and character. Volunteering topped the list, followed by politeness and patience.

【1】According to the passage, the following statements are British most outstanding symbols except ______.

A. patriotism B. the Beatles.

C. politeness D. Shakespeare.

【2】Which/span> of the following is close to the right order of the top symbols of Britain?

a. the National Trust.

b. patience

c. the royal family

d. the British currency

A. a ,b, c, d B. a, d, c, b

C. c, a, b, d D. a, c, b, d

【3】The royal family does not top the list because ______.

A. the royal family has a central role to play in developing pride

B. the royal family owns a lot of wealth

C. the royal family does not attract the public attention

D. the royal family does not influence the public as much as it used to

【题目】阅读理解

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中,选出最佳选项

When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚),and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare,I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention.

It was difficult to walk together—and because of that,we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out,he always said,“You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work. He went to work sick,and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help. At such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,N.Y.,on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there,he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.

When I think of it now,I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”,and if he found one,the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older,I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people,even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been away for many years now,but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did,I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was,how unworthy I was,how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles,when I am envious of another’s good fortune,when I don’t have a “good heart”.

【题目】C

Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.

A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.

The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.

Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.

Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”

There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.

The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.

“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion efect, making you almost car-sick.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.

A. how far the grooves are

B. how big the grooves are

C. the number of the grooves

D. the speed of the car

【2】The underlined word optimal in the passage might mean ________.

A. fastest B. possible C. best D. slowest

【3】In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.

A. drive very fast B. drive slowly

C. open the windows wide D. keep the windows closed

【4】Whats the best title of the passage?

A.A New Type of Music

B. Melody Roads in Japan

C.A Musical Road Surface

D.A New Invention in Japan
