Great Britain consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. On the 13th century Wales was linked to England. In 1603, they were joined to Scotland. They were united in peace instead of by war. Furthermore, just as they were going to get Ireland connecting to form United Kingdom, the southern part of Ireland was broke away, so only Northern Ireland joined with England.
England is the larger of the four countries and for convenience it was divided into three zone: the South of England, the Midlands and the North. Most of the population are settled in the South, and most of the industrial cities is located in the Midlands and the North.
London is the capital city with the great historical treasures, that has the oldest port built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo Saxons in the 1060s and oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066.

Answer 1

【答案】①on改为in；②furthermore改为however；③connecting改为connected；④joined with去掉with；⑤larger改为largest；⑥zoon改为zoons；⑦and改为but；⑧is改为are；⑨that改为which；⑩oldest前面加the。

【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国的四大组成部分，英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰。并且详细介绍了英格兰以及它的首都伦敦。
①考查介词。世纪前面用in，故on改为in。
② 考查连词。前面的句意与后面的句意是转折关系，且这里有个逗号，故用however，因此furthermore改为however。
③考查动词。Get sth done，爱尔兰是被连接的，故用connected，因此connecting改为connected。
④ 考查介词。Join是及物动词，后面不需加介词，故joined with去掉with。
⑤考查形容词。英格兰是最大的一部分，故用largest，因此larger改为largest。
⑥考查名词。Three 大于1，故后面用复数zoons，因此zoon改为zoons。
⑦考查连词。大部分人口在南部，但是大部分工业城市在北部，表示转折，故用but，因此and改为but。
⑧i考查主谓一致。Cities是复数，故用are，因此is改为are。
⑨考查代词。这是一个非限制性定语用which，故that改为which。
⑩考查定冠词。最高级前面加the，故oldest前面加the。
