“Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built,” Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, Buckingham Palace said the monarch was under medical supervision due to doctors’ concerns over her health. The royal family members soon rushed to Scotland to be at her side following the announcement.
In the evening, royal staff hung obituaries(讣告)on railings in front of Buckingham Palace. Crowds braved the rain to pay their respects and many laid flowers outside Windsor Castle.
Queen Elizabeth II has significantly reduced her public engagements since the death of her husband Prince Philip in April last year, and canceled or postponed many official engagements after being hospitalized in October last year. She was diagnosed with the coronavirus in February.
Born on April 21, 1926, Elizabeth II was announced Queen after the death of her father, King George VI, on Feb. 6, 1952. She was formally crowned(加冕)the monarch of the United Kingdom on June 2, 1953.

（2022·北京·首都师范大学附属密云中学高三阶段练习）Queen Elizabeth II, who ascended the British throne at 25, has passed away at the age of 96.
On Sept. 8, the official Twitter account belonging to the royal family confirmed the news, writing, “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.”
The news comes hours after Buckingham Palace issued a statement on Sept. 8, sharing that doctors were “concerned” with the Queen’s health and recommended she “remain under medical supervision.”
While Her Majesty stayed busy with a variety of royal engagements even in the final years of her life, some royal watchers grew concerned about her heath after the Queen started using a cane and was briefly hospitalized in October 2021 for an undisclosed ailment.
In February, the fears grew stronger after she tested positive for COVID-19, just weeks after she celebrated 70 years on the British throne to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history. However, the Queen would make a rare appearance a little over three months later in May at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.
But after the first day of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, the Palace shared at the time that she experienced “some discomfort,” leading her to miss the National Service of Thanksgiving at St. Paul’s Cathedral on June 3.
Back in 1952, Elizabeth became queen upon the death of her father, King George VI. In 2015, she surpassed the previous longest-reigning British monarch, her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, and also became the longest-serving female head of state in world history.
Her extraordinary reign included countless overseas visits with world leaders, but the Queen always viewed public and voluntary service as one of the most important elements of her work.
According to the Palace, Elizabeth had links — as President or Royal Patron — with over 600 charities, military associations, professional bodies and public service organizations.
“I declare before you all that my whole life whether it be long or short shall be devoted to your service,” Elizabeth shared on her 21st birthday, back when she was still known as Princess Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was married to the late Prince Philip for 73 years before he passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99.
At the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral, a card was seen atop of the late royal’s coffin. The note, written on the Queen’s stationery and placed alongside flowers, appeared to read in part, “I love you”.
The Queen carried out all of her duties while raising four children: Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. During her incredible life, she would also welcome eight grandchildren, and 12 great-grandchildren to the Royal Family.
At the time of Philip’s passing, Prince Harry reflected on his grandparents’ incredible love story.
“The two of them together were just the most adorable couple,” he shared. “I don’t know if anyone’s ever described them as adorable but, to me, knowing the cheekiness of him and knowing that behind what the world sees you have two individuals who were very much in love, and both at a very young age, dedicated both of their lives to service. The places these two travelled, the things they saw, the experiences they went through. That is an incredible bond between two people.”
5．What is the best title of this article?
A．The love story between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip
B．The Queen’s legacy would live on
C．Long live the Queen
D．Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96.
6．Which the follow statement is NOT TRUE?
A．The Queen has become the longest reigning monarch in British history.
B．The Queen was forced to miss several events in the final stage of her life due to some health issues.
C．The Queen reigns longer than her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria and even longer than any other leader in the world.
D．The Queen is always dedicated to public and voluntary service, even at the end of her days.
7．What can be implied from the last paragraph?
A．The Queen and her husband both dedicated their lives to service.
B．The Queen and her husband forms a special bond and shared a lot of common experiences.
C．The Queen and her husband’s love story has become an exemplar for the whole royal family.
D．The only person who understands Prince Philip is the Queen.

（2022·上海市松江二中高三阶段练习）She has become the world’s longest-reigning monarch(在位时间最长的君主), following the death of Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej on Oct 13.
Now a new TV series called The Crown, which started to air on Nov 4 in the US, is looking back at the time when Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ of the UK prepared to take the throne(王位)at a 25-year-old. She would face a series of challenges after she was crowned(加冕)following the unexpected death of her father, George VI, in 1952.
    Ever since she took the throne, the queen has seen her country change dramatically. Yet she has remained a constant presence in British lives. How can a queen, a memory from long ago in most parts of the world, still be so popular in modern Britain.
One answer is that the royal(王室的)family knows how to move with the times. Once upon a time, kings, queens, princes and princesses were distant from everyone. Today, while they still have some of the old mystery, the royals are true celebrities(名人)like famous sports and pop stars. Indeed, they are upper-class celebrities. There are hundreds of Hollywood actors, but there is only one queen of the UK.
Because they are seen so much—in magazines, on TV and on the internet—the royals must now be careful. It is not enough to be famous; one must “deserve” this fame. That’s why the new, younger generations of royals are so important to the royals’ chances of surviving. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s commitment to many good causes has also given the royal family an image it highly needs.
In addition, old-fashioned British eccentricity(古怪)explains why the royals have stayed for so song. “The British monarchy is valued because it is the British monarchy,” the BBC noted. “We are an old and complicated society.”
8．What can we learn about Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ from the two paragraphs?
A．She was 25 years old when she became queen in 1952.
B．She was doomed to(注定)take the throne from birth.
C．The TV series The Crown is about Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ’s whole life.
D．She is the oldest monarch in the world after Bhumibol Adulyadej.
9．What should new generatic of British royals probably do in order to stay popular, according to the author?
A．Try to become as famous as possible.
B．Shoot some films about the royal family.
C．Keep their distance from common people.
D．Devote themselves to good causes.
10．The author mentions the BBC’s a comment to show that _______.
A．the UK is a strange nation
B．the British value their old traditions a lot
C．British society is too complex to understand
D．the British monarchy is unique in the world
11．The main purpose of the article is to ______.
A．describe the details of the TV series The Crown to readers
B．describe the daily routines of British royals
C．explore the secrets of the popularity of the British monarchy
D．explain the differences between the old and new generations of British royals

参考答案：
1．A    2．C    3．A    4．A
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了英国女王伊丽莎白二世去世的事件，以及她的儿子查尔斯对她的深切怀念和英国首相对她的崇高评价。
1．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Born on April 21, 1926, Elizabeth II was announced Queen after the death of her father, King George VI, on Feb. 6, 1952. She was formally crowned(加冕)the monarch of the United Kingdom on June 2, 1953.(伊丽莎白二世出生于1926年4月21日，1952年2月6日，她的父亲乔治六世国王去世后，伊丽莎白二世被宣布为女王。1953年6月2日，她正式加冕为英国国王。)”可知伊丽莎白二世是从1952年开始被宣布成为英国国王的，1953年实行加冕仪式的；根据文章第一段“On September 8th, 2022, Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch in history, died aged 96. Buckingham Palace announced her death on Thursday, Her son, Prince Charles, has now become Britain’s new king.(2022年9月8日，英国历史上在位时间最长的君主伊丽莎白二世逝世，享年96岁。白金汉宫在周四宣布了她的死讯，她的儿子查尔斯王子现在成为了英国的新国王。)”可知，伊丽莎白二世当国王直到2022年9月8日去世时才停止；故其当了英国国王有70年。故选A项。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第四段““Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built ,” Britain’s Prime Minister Liz Truss said in a statement.(英国首相Liz Truss在一份声明中说：“伊丽莎白女王二世是现代英国建立的基石。”)”可知，英国首相Liz Truss说她是现代英国建立的奠基石，这是用来比喻伊丽莎白女王二世在现代英国建立中所扮演的重要角色，即表明了她在英国现代史上起着重要的作用。故选C项。
3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Queen Elizabeth II has significantly reduced her public engagements since the death of her husband Prince Philip in April last year, and canceled or postponed many official engagements after being hospitalized in October last year. She was diagnosed with the coronavirus in February.(自去年4月丈夫菲利普亲王去世后，英国女王伊丽莎白二世大幅减少了公开活动，并在去年10月住院后取消或推迟了许多官方活动。)”可知，自去年4月她的丈夫菲利普亲王去世后，她大幅减少了公开活动，加上去年10月住院后，取消或推迟了很多官方活动，故推知伊丽莎白二世出现在公众场合的次数减少是她丈夫的去世加之她自己的健康状况不佳所导致的。故选A项。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了英国历史上在位时间最长的君主伊丽莎白二世去世的事件，以及她的儿子查尔斯对她的深切怀念和英国首相对她的崇高评价，故选项A“Farewell to Queen Elizabeth II(永别了，伊丽莎白二世)”适合作为本文标题。故选A项。

7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The places these two travelled, the things they saw, the experiences they went through. That is an incredible bond between two people.(这两个人旅行的地方，他们看到的东西，他们经历的经历。这是两个人之间不可思议的联系。)”可知，女王和她的丈夫形成了一种特殊的联系，分享了许多共同的经历。故选B。

8．A    9．D    10．B    11．C
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述英国女王伊丽莎白二世登基的故事，并探索英国君主制受欢迎的秘密。
8．细节理解题。根据第二段“Now a new TV series called The Crown, which started to air on Nov 4 in the US, is looking back at the time when Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ of the UK prepared to take the throne(王位) at a 25-year-old.

That’s why the new, younger generations of royals are so important to the royals’ chances of surviving. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton’s commitment to many good causes has also given the royal family an image it highly needs.”(因为皇室成员在杂志、电视和互联网上看到的次数很多，所以他们现在必须小心。仅仅出名是不够的；一个人必须“值得”这个名声。这就是为什么年轻的新一代王室成员对王室成员的生存机会如此重要的原因。剑桥公爵夫人凯特·米德尔顿（Kate Middleton）对许多公益事业的承诺也给了王室一个非常需要的形象。)可知，年轻的新一代王室成员会通过投身许多美好的公益事业来保持受欢迎。故选D。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In addition, old-fashioned British eccentricity(古怪) explains why the royals have stayed for so song. “The British monarchy is valued because it is the British monarchy,” the BBC noted. “We are an old and complicated society.””(此外，老式的英国怪癖也解释了为什么王室成员会留下来唱这首歌。英国广播公司指出：“英国君主制之所以受到重视，是因为它是英国的君主制。”。“我们是一个古老而复杂的社会。”)可知，英国很重视他们的传统。故选B。
11．推理判断题。根据第三段“Ever since she took the throne, the queen has seen her country change dramatically. Yet she has remained a constant presence in British lives. How can a queen, a memory from long ago in most parts of the world, still be so popular in modern Britain”(自从女王登基以来，她的国家发生了翻天覆地的变化。然而，她在英国人的生活中一直是个常客。女王，一个很久以前在世界大部分地区留下的记忆，怎么会在现代英国如此受欢迎呢)可知，这篇文章是为了探索英国君主制受欢迎的秘密。故选C。
