   Great Britain is traditionally made up of three parts: England in the south, Scotland in north and Wales in the southwest.

  England is the largest and most developed of all the three. Its area, about 130,000 square kilometers, takes up nearly 60% of the whole island. Its population is mere than 46 million which makes up 85% of the country's whole population. The importance of England is so great in Britain that some foreigners just say “England” when they mean Britain. The same is true of the custom of speaking of the British people as the English who are the majority in the United Kingdom.

  Scotland is the second largest both in area and population. It has an area of about 78,760 square kilometers, less than 30 % of the whole is land, with a population of 5 million, less than one-tenth of the total population.

   Wales is the smallest of the three both in area and population. Its area, 20,700 square kilometers, makes up less than 9 % while its population, 2.7 million, does not exceed 5 % of the whole.

1. Which of the following maps shows the right position of England, Scotland and Wales? (E= England S= Scotland W = Wales)

2. If figure (图形) one  below shows the area(面积) of Scotland, which picture in Figure two represents the area of Great Britain?

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn the child to keep away from the fire that had burnt him or her before. A really fearless soldier-and some do exist –is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: a plane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the wood in your roof, and they later may fall on you, or you may get cancer !

The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight toward you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is OK.

In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent a plane from crashing into your house, and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no plants. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

1. Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _______.

A. they were given no warning beforehand

B. they didn’t have any sense of pain at all

C. they had never burnt themselves

D. they felt afraid of the fire

2. A really fearless soldier _______.

  A. is of a little use to his army

  B. is not afraid of battles at all

  C. is nothing but a dead soldier

  D. is easy to get killed in a battle

3. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding dangers because _______.

  A. they are warned of the danger and take quick action

  B. they are quick both in mind and in action

  C. they are calm in face of danger

  D. they have gained much experience

4. It is implied but not stated that _______.

  A. fear is always something helpful

  B. too much fear is harmful

  C. fear should be used as a servant and guide

  D. fear is something strange and particular

     AThe three main types of secondary education in the United States have been provided by the Latin grammar school, the academy, and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum(课程) consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.?

The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900.The academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.?

The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827,the state enacted(制定)the first state wide public high school law in the United States. By 1840,there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850,they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation(推翻) of the aristocratic(贵族的)and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890,enrollments( 入学)in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.

56.According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed?

         A.Latin grammar school, public high school, academy.

B.Latin grammar school, academy, public high school.

C.Public high school, Latin grammar school, academy.

D.Public high school, academy, Latin grammar school.

57.It is the opinion of the author that the academy, compared with the public high school, was ____.

A.obviously academically better

B.more discriminatory in student selection

C.coeducational

D.not generally considered as a public institution

58.One can probably infer from his article that “Latin grammar school” refers to ____.

A.the Boston Free Latin School

B.all the elementary schools in the United States

C.schools which taught Latin, exclusive of all other subjects

D.a number of schools which developed in New England

59.It is implied but not stated in the passage that ____.

A.European educational systems are not good

B.As high schools developed in the united states, the decision was made to make them responsible to people from all classes of society.

C.There was an aristocratic and selective principle in the European educational tradition

D.public high schools in the United States embraced the European educational tradition
