1. It came as something of a surprise
when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip
to Angola in 2004, to support the Red
Cross's campaign for a total ban on all
anti-personnel landmines(地雷). Within hours
of arriving in Angola, television screens
around the world were filled with images of
her comforting victims injured in explosions
caused by landmines. "I knew the
statistics," she said. "But putting a face
to those figures brought the reality home to
me; like when I met Sandra, a 13- year-old
girl who had lost her leg, and people like
her."
The Princess concluded with a simple
message: "We must stop landmines". And she
used every opportunity during her visit to
repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were
not shared by some members of the British
government, which refused to support a ban
on these weapons. Angry politicians launched
an attack on the Princess in the press. They
described her as "very ill-informed" and a
"loose cannon (乱放炮的人).”
The Princess responded by brushing
aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction
we do not need. All I'm trying to do is
help."
Opposition parties, the media and the
public immediately voiced their support for
the Princess. To make matters worse for the
government, it soon emerged that the
Princess's trip had been approved by the
Foreign Office, and that she was in fact
very well-informed about both the situation
in Angola and the British government's
policy regarding landmines. The result was a
severe embarrassment for the government.
To try and limit the damage, the
Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed
that the Princess's views on landmines were
not very different from government policy,
and that it was "working towards" a
worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary,
Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a
misinterpretation or misunderstanding."
For the Princess, the trip to this
war-torn country was an excellent
opportunity to use her popularity to show
the world how much destruction and suffering
landmines can cause. She said that the
experience had also given her the chance to
get closer to people and their problems.
1). Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in
2004________ .
A. to voice her support for a total ban of
landmines
B. to clarify the British government's stand
on landmines
C. to investigate the sufferings of landmine
victims there
D. to establish her image as a friend of

满分:4 分 得分:4
2). What did Diana mean when she said "...
putting a face to those figures brought the
reality home to me" (Line 5, Para.1)?

B. The actual situation in Angola made her
feel like going back home.
C. Meeting the landmine victims in person
made her believe the statistics.
D. Seeing the pain of the victims made her
realize the seriousness of the situation.

2. As you are students of English, it
’s very possible that you’ll be interested
in England. That’s where the language was
first spoken. But England is often called by
other names. This often confuses people and
I wonder if you know what these names mean.
So, now I would like to tell you about this
matter of names. I believe that you have
heard people use the names—England, Britain
or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of
these names means. If you look at a map of
Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one
larger island off the northwest coast, one
smaller and many tiny ones. These make up
what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛
). The largest island of the British Isles
is Britain. It is also called Great Britain.
The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).
Britain is divided into three parts:
Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes
the Word “England” is used instead of
“Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what
is Britain now used to be three different
countries. People in These different
countries spoke different language. Over
many years the three countries became one.
England is the largest and richest of the
three and it has the most people. So the
English people take it for granted that
their own name stands for the whole island.
There’s another thing that confuses
people: sometimes you may hear people say “
the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland”. That is official name of
the country. Northern Ireland is only one
sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of
the island is an independent state, called
the Republic of Ireland. So we have the
names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great
Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you
know what each of them means?
1). English was first spoken in_______.
A. Britain
B. England
C. Great Britain
D. Ireland
满分:4 分 得分:4
2). Britain is divided into______.
A. England, Britain, and Wales
B. England, Scotland, and Wales
C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain
D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland
满分:4 分 得分:4
3). According to the passage, which of the
following statements is true?
A. Wales is the richest of the three
B. Scotland is the largest of the three
C. Sometimes English is used instead of
Britain
D. Britain is the only name of the largest
island of British Isles
满分:4 分 得分:4
4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland is______.
A. part of Britain
B. part of British Isles
C. the official name of the whole country
England
D. the largest country of all mentioned in
the passage
满分:4 分 得分:4
5). Which of the following is an independent
country?
A. Wales
B. Scotland
C. Northern Ireland
D. The Republic of Ireland

3. The British National Health
Service (NHS) was set up in 1948 and was
designed to provide equal basic health care,
free of charge, for everybody in the
country. Before this time health care had to
be paid for by individuals.
Nowadays central government is
directly responsible for the NHS although it
is administered by local health authorities.
About 83 percent of the cost of the health
service is paid for by general taxation and
the rest is met from the National Insurance
contributions paid by those in work. There
are charges for prescription and dental care
but many people, such as children, pregnant
women, pensioners, and those on Income
Support, are exempt from payment.
Most people are registered with a
local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner)
who is increasingly likely to be part of a
health centre which serves the community.
As the population of Britain gets
older, the hospital service now treats more
patients than before, although patients
spend less time in hospital. NHS hospitals—
many of which were built in the nineteenth
century—provide nearly half a million beds
and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The
NHS is the biggest employer in Europe
although Britain actually spends less per
person on health care than most of her
European neighbours.
During the 1980s there was
considerable restructuring of the Health
Service with an increased emphasis on
managerial efficiency and the privatization
of some services (for example, cleaning). At
the end of the 1980s the government
introduced proposals for further reform of
the NHS, including allowing some hospitals
to be self-governing, and encouraging GPs to
compete for patients. Patients would be able
to choose and change their family doctor
more easily and GPs would have more
financial responsibility. The political
questions continue of how much money should
be provided to support the NHS and where it
should come from.
1). We can know from the first paragraph
that ______.
A. the original aim of the NHS was to
provide equal basic health care for
everybody
B. people didn’t have to pay for health
care since the NHS was set up
C. patients were charged for receiving
health care before 1948
D. the NHS was an organization which gave
free advice to villagers

2). What do we know about the NHS?
A. It’s managed by the central government.
B. Its cost is mainly paid for by the
National Insurance contributions.
C. It hires more people than any other unit
in Europe.
D. Fewer patients go to its hospitals than
before because they spend less on health
care.

reform
