Things to Know about the UK
　　1From Buckingham Palace to Oxford,the UK is loaded with wonderful icons（标志）of past eras.But it has also modernized with confidence.It's now better known for vibrant（充满活力的）cities with great nightlife and attraction.Fashions,fine dining,clubbing,shopping-the UK is among the world's best.
　　2Most people have strong preconceptions about the British.But if you're one of these people,you'd be wise to abandon those ideas.Visit a nightclub in one of the big cities,a football match,or a good local pub and you might more readily describe the English people as humorous and hospitable.It's certainly true that no other country in the world has more bird-watchers,sports supporters,pet owners and gardeners than the UK.
　　3Getting around England is pretty easy.Budget（廉价的）airlines like Easyjet and Rynnair fly domestically.Trains can deliver you very efficiently from one major city to another.Long distance express buses are called coaches.Where coaches and buses run on the same route,coaches are more expensive （though quicker） than buses.London's famous black cabs are excellent but expensive.Minicabs are cheaper competitors,with freelance（个体的）drivers.But usually you need to give a call first.London's underground is called the Tube.It's very convenient and can get you to almost any part of the city.
　　4The UK is not famous for its food.But you still need to know some of the traditional English foods.The most famous must be fish and chips.The fish and chips are deep fried in flour.English breakfast is something you need to try.It is fried bacon,sausages,fried eggs,black pudding,fried tomatoes,fried bread and baked beans,with toast and a pot of tea.Other things like shepherd's pie and Yorkshire pudding are also well-known as a part of English food culture.
　　5Pubbing and clubbing are the main forms of English nightlife,especially for the young.Pubbing means going to a pub with friends,having drinks,and chatting.Clubbing is different from pubbing and includes going to a pub,or a place of music,or a bar,or any other places to gather with friends.Clubbing can be found everywhere.Usually there is some kind of dress code for clubbing,such as no jeans,no sportswear,or smart clubwear,while pubbing is much more casual.

　　第4部分：阅读理解（第31~45题，每题3分，共45分）
　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。
　　第一篇
A Debate on the English Language
　　A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States.The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying（统一的）"tongue.But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
　　Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.
　　"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,"says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University."It's related to a worry about the changing demography（人口统计）of the US.It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence."
　　In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding.John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a royalist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.
　　Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
　　The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.
　　"Language is never about language,"he says.
　　According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English.Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all.
　　31.What are the two declarations concerned with?
　　A.The status of the English language.
　　B.The protection of new languages.
　　C.The rights to speak one's mother tongue.
　　D.The improvement of the English language.
　　32.Who suggested in the 18th century that English should be protected?
　　A.Walt Wolfram.
　　B.John Adams.
　　C.Royalists.
　　D.Dick Tucker.
　　33.Which of the following is the current debate NOT related to?
　　A.The immigration issues.
　　B.The changing demography.
　　C.The worry about the new languages.
　　D.The US's military strength.
　　34.Which statement is true according to the 2000 US Census Bureau report?
　　A.172 million Americans speak only English in their work places.
　　B.37 million Americans speak English.
　　C.209 million Americans are above the age of 18.
　　D.6.5 million Americans speak good English.
　　35.The phrase"kicked around"（paragraph 4）could be best replaced by
　　A."invented".
　　B."formed".
　　C."shaped".
　　D."discussed".
