Puzzles in       (地理)

There is no need to        any more      (争辩)why different words are used to describe the four countries: England,     (威尔士), Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can easily       (阐明) any problems if you study British history.

First there was England. Wales             (与...相连)  England in the 13th century AD. Now when people        (提起)England you find Wales        ( 被包含)as well.

Great Britain was the name given when England and Wales           (与...结合)Scotland. It happened in 1603 when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well.

To their surprise, the three countries      themselves      (发现...被联合) peacefully            (而没有)by war. However, just    (当...的时候)they were going to get Ireland connected to     (形成)the United Kingdom, the southern part of that country            (脱离出来)to     (形成)its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and         (苏格兰) to become the                (联合王国)and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the            (联合国国旗).

Although the four countries do work together in some areas (for example, in international relations) they are still very different. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have developed different educational and legal         (体制)as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!

England is the largest of the four countries and               (为方便起见) it is       roughly     (被分为)three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands. and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the                (人口聚居) in the South, but most of the large         (工业) cities in the Midlands and North of England.

Although many of the cities are not as large as those in China, they have famous football teams and some even have two. However, these industrial cities built in the 19th century do not have the                (历史性的影响)of other places. For those you have to go to older but smaller towns first built by            (古罗马人). There you will         (发现)more about British history and culture.

The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its        (博物馆),             (艺术珍品), theatres, parks and buildings. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the           (公元一世纪), the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle           (由...建造) by later Norman rulers in 1066.

But London has been          (受影响)only by some        (侵略者)of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influences the           (词汇)and place-names of the North, and the fourth, the Normans, left      (城堡) and the words for food.

If you look around the British countryside, you will find        (痕迹、证据) of all these invaders.

You must                    (睁大你的眼睛) if you are going to      your trip to the United Kingdom          (使之有价值)
