| 第1、2、3、4、5题：Because Ireland is an island geographically near the mainland of the United Kingdom, English rulers have fought since the Middle-English Ages to retain political control over it. Attracted by the lush farmland, English and Scottish landowners settled there, and in time of famine or political unrest, the local workers suffered, while their landlords were cushioned by their wealth. The history of modern Ireland is, in fact, largely a story of antagonism and resentment between the Irish and their English and Scottish rulers. Since the 1920's, Ireland has been divided into two parts: Northern Ireland (Ulster) and the Republic of Ireland (Eire). The north is still part of the United Kingdom and is predominantly Protestant; the south is an independent republic and is mainly Catholic. The majority in Ulster accept this political compromise, but the active and mainly Catholic minority are fighting for union with the independent republic of Southern Ireland. The IRA, the Irish Republican Army, have mounted bombing campaigns in military and civil targets in Ulster and England. They have sent letter-bombs to public figures, they have slot fellow Irishmen who support the British or belong to opposing, and now equally militant Protestant groups. As a result of this, the British have stationed an army in Belfast, the IRA have been outlawed, and several of them have spent many years in prison or have died in support of their cause. Whether this level of violence and repression is justifiable, and whether the violence that could result from political change would be worthwhile are the controversial issues that divide everybody involved. 36. It suggested that the central problem is relationship between _______. A. Britain and Ireland B. Ulster and Eire C. Catholics and Protestants D. the Irish Republican Army and Ulster. 37.

A. only in England B. when public figures talk about Ireland C. only in Northern Ireland D. in England and Northern Ireland 40. The writer feels that the controversy is about ________.

| 第7、8、9、10、11题：By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can be happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no efforts, as there are of serious illness. 41. Adders are most likely to be found _______. A. in Scotland and nowhere else B. in wider parts of Britain C. in shady fields in England D. on uncultivated land throughout Britain 42. We are told that British snakes are ______. A. afraid of human beings B. poisonous including the adder c. dangerous except the adder D. friendly towards human beings 43. Which of the followings statements is Not true? A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain. B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder. C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are. D. People's attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary. 44. When will the adder not attack you? A. when you try to catch it B. when you are some distance away from it. C. when you happen to step on it. D. when you try to pick 45. If an adder hears you coming, it will usually _______. A. attack you immediately B. disappear very quickly C. want to frighten you D. move out of the way |
