八、阅读理解

Sailors used to speak of a “Jack” when they meant a flag which was set near the bow of a sailing ship.The flag showed the country to which the ship belonged.The Union Jack became the flag of Great Britain.Australia’s flag has the Union Jack in the top left-hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross.They have kept this small part of Britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from Britain.Australia’s flag is the same color as the Union Jack—red,white and blue.The act of joining together is called a “union”.The Union Jack was the name of the flag made when England,Scotland and Ireland joined together to make one country.

It all began in 1707,when England and Scotland joined together to become one nation.A flag was made using two crosses—one for the patron saint(守护神)of each country,which means protector.Many centuries before,the English had taken St George as their patron saint.His emblem(标志)was a red cross on a white background.The Scottish patron saint was St Andrew.In memory of him,they used a white cross on a blue background.This cross was shaped like the letter “X”.The new flag was a mixture of both flags with two sets of crosses.

When Ireland joined England and Scotland in 1800,another cross was added.St Patrick’s cross of Ireland was red and also shaped like an “X”.All three flags now made up the Union Jack.

1.The Union Jack is the flag of 　　　. 

A.the United Nations

B.Ireland

C.England and Scotland

D.Great Britain

答案:D

解析:细节考查题。由第一段第三句 “The Union Jack became the flag of Great Britain.”可知答案。

2.It is because 　　　that Australia’s flag has the Union Jack in the top left-hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross. 

A.the Union Jack was named when England,Scotland and Ireland joined together

B.people from Britain brought the flag of Great Britain to Australia

C.people from Britain settled in Australia first

D.the flag of Great Britain is colourful

答案:C

解析:细节考查题。由第一段第五句“They have kept this small part of Britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from Britain.”可以得出答案。

3.According to the text,which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.St George was the English patron saint.

B.The Scottish had taken St Andrew as their patron saint.

C.St Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland,whose cross was red.

D.Ever since 1800,the British have taken the Union Jack as their patron saint.

答案:D

解析:推理判断题。由文章叙述可知,the Union Jack是英国国旗,它上面的十字代表着守护神,而不是英国人民将国旗视作守护神,故D项的叙述是错误的。

Windsor Castle is an official residence(住宅) of the Queen and the largest occupied castle in the world.A royal home and fortress for over 900 years,the Castle remains a working palace today.

The Queen uses the Castle both as a private home,where she usually spends the weekends,and as a royal residence at which she performs certain formal duties.Every year the Queen takes up official residence in Windsor Castle for a month over Easter(March-April),known as Easter Court.During that time the Queen hosts occasional “dine and sleep” events for guests,including politicians and public figures.The Queen is also in residence for a week in June,when she attends the service of the Order of the Garter and the Royal Ascot horse racing meeting.

Windsor Castle is often used by the Queen to host state visits from overseas monarchs(君主) and presidents.Foreign heads of states enter the Castle in horse-drawn carriages through the George Ⅳ Gateway into the quadrangle(四方院)in the Upper Ward,where a military guard of honour is drawn up.The traditional state banquet is held in St George’s Hall(55.5m long and 9m wide),with a table seating up to 160 guests.

St George’s Chapel remains an active centre for worship(礼拜),with daily services open to all.The Chapel,together with the remainder of the College of St George,is governed by the dean and canons of Windsor,who with their officers and staff,are independent of the Royal Household.

Various departments of the Royal Household are based at Windsor Castle.The ancient Round Tower houses the royal archives and the royal photograph collection.The Print Room and Royal Library house valuable drawings,prints and books in the royal collection.These are shown in a programme of changing exhibitions in the Castle’s Drawings Gallery.

Windsor Castle is also a busy visitor attraction.Many parts of the Castle are open to the public,including the State Apartments,Queen Mary’s famous dolls’ house,St George’s Chapel,and the Albert Memorial Chapel.

When the Queen is in official residence,the Changing of the Guard provides a colourful spectacle(风景) in the quadrangle.
