British Islese. Britainf. Great BritainLecture One The Country and People (I)The CountryI. The LocationThe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated in Western Europe and is separated from the European continent by the North Sea, the Strait of Dover and the English Channel. It lies between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. To thewest of it lies the Atlantic Ocean, across and beyond it is America. It is an insular(海岛的、岛国的）country. It is one of the countries with longest coastline. Its coastline runs 12,429 km. The neighboring countries of Britain include France, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Irish Republic, and the Iceland（8 countries). The mainland areas lie between latitudes (纬度）49°N and 59°N (the Shetland Islands reach to nearly 61°N), and longitudes （经度）8°W to 2°E. The Straits of Dover between France and England is quite narrow and it is 33 km across. In 1985 the British government and the French government decided to build a channel tunnel under the Straits of Dover so that England and France could be joined together by road. This channel tunnel was opened to traffic in May 1994 after eight years hard work.II. Three political divisions on the island of Great Britain: England, Scotland and Wales. England is divided into nine governmental regions.1)EnglandEngland occupies the southern part of Great Britain and is important part of the Kingdomin wealth, size, and population. It has an area of more than 130,000 square kilometers and it takes up nearly 60% of the whole island. The west and southwest is a plateau, with rolling plain, downs and moors. The west coast is deeply indented. They supply many splendid harbors for ships. The south coast is fairly straight, a line of low cliffs backed by rolling down. London is Capital of England and Britain. London is the Capital of BritainAs the UK was greatly influenced by different invaders, it has various styles in building, language and food. In some small towns first built by the Romans, you will find some historical attractions, where you can learn something about British culture. London is the greatest historical treasure of all the cities. There are various museums, art collections, theatres, and buildings there.2)ScotlandScotland is in the north of Great Britain. It retained its own parliament until 1707, when, by the Act of Union, Scotland and the Kingdom of England and Wales were constitutionally joined as the Kingdom of Great Britain.In Scotland there are three natural zones: The Highlands in the north, the centralLowlands and the southern Uplands. Scotland has an area of 78,760 square kilometers, less than30% of the whole island, with a population of more than 5 million , less than one-tenth of the total population. It has a good number of mountains and islands.There are 800 islands which contain Hebrides, Shetland and Orkney islands. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland.3)WalesWales is in the west of Great Britain. It has an area of 20,761 square kilometers , less than 9% of the whole island while its population, about 2.7 million, does not exceed 5% of the whole. Most of Wales is mountainous. The hills rise steeply from the sea and rather flat on top. 6% of Wales is covered with forest and much of the country is pastureland for sheep and cattle. Wales united England in 14th century. The capital of Wales is Cardiff. 4)Northern IrelandNorthern Ireland is the fourth region of the UK. It takes up the northern fifth of Ireland. It has an area of 14,147 square kilometers, population of one and a half million, about one-third of them are Roman Catholics. It is made up of six counties that consist of fertile, drumlin [`drʌmlin] 鼓丘country surrounding Lough Neagh. Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland.5)IrelandThe other 26 Irish counties obtained autonomy in 1921. Irish , often called Erse [ə:s ] 爱尔兰, is a form of Gaelic. Ben Nevis(本尼维斯山)is the highest mountain in Britain (1,343m). Snowdonia(斯诺多尼亚)is the highest mountain in Wales.（1,085m）III. Climate and WeatherBritain is an island country and the surrounding sea gives England a varied climate. People never know what the weather will be like from one day to the other. It can be sunny one day and rainy the next. As Britain has such a variable climate changing from from day to day, it is difficult to predict the weather. Changeable and unpredictable are the two words that come to mind when speaking of its climate. Britain has a maritime[′mæritaim ] （海洋）climate-winters are not too cold and summers are not too hot. It has a steady reliable rainfall throughout the whole year. The temperature varies within a small range.Britain is in the temperate climate zone and does not have extremes of temperature or rainfall. The Gulf Stream, a large Atlantic Ocean current of warm water from the Gulf ofMexico, keeps winters quite mild whilst during summertime, warm but not excessively hot temperatures are experienced.The factors influence the climate in Britain :a）The surrounding waters tend to balance the seasonal differences by heating up the land in winter and cooling it off in summer;b）The prevailing south-west winds or the Westerlies blow over the country all the year round bringing warm and wet air in winter and keeping the temperatures moderate;c）The North Atlantic Drift passes the western coast of the British Isles and warms them. The island is small compared with the other land masses in the northern hemisphere –hence Britain is more influenced by the ocean compared with other European countries, and the Gulf Stream （墨西哥湾流）(a warm current of the northern Atlantic Ocean) helps to keep winters milder compared with other landlocked nations with a similar latitude.Precipitation also varies throughout Britain. Western Britain, particularly the parts on higher ground, receives considerable rainfall. Most of this is frontal rainfall but there is also relief rainfall due to the mountains such as the Lake District and the Welsh Mountains. Parts of Scotland can receive over 250 cm or 100 inches of precipitation per year. Eastern Britain, particularly southeastern parts, receive much less rainfall. Areas of the southeast may receive only 50 cm or 20 inches of precipitation per year. Much of eastern Britain lies in the rain shadow of hills and mountains such as the Lake District, the Peak District and the Scottish Highlands.IV. Rivers and lakesSevern River(塞文河)is the longest river in Britain (338km). Thames River(泰晤士河)is the second longest and most important river in Britain. (336km). The River Thames, the second largest and the most important river in Britain, originates in southwestern England and flows through the Midlands of England to London and empties into the North Sea. River Clyde(克莱德河)is the most important river in Scotland. Lough Neagh讷湖（内伊湖）is the largest lake in Britain which is located in Northern Ireland. (396 square kilometres).Cultural Notes1.Highland Zone 山区大不列颠岛北部和西部大都是山地。

Assessing the impact of climate variability and human

these studies because of their empirical nature. Although the areas of conservation measures are known, the exact locations are not, thus preventing the use of detailed, spatially distributed models. However, by analysis of patterns in precipitation–streamﬂow relationships, and knowing the relative area (but not exact locations) and timing of soil conservation measures, it is possible to examine the combined effects of soil conservation measures on catchment streamﬂow. To achieve this goal, it is important to understand the key processes that are affected by the conservation measures and, in turn, how they will modify streamﬂow. A widely used hydrologic method for estimating the impact of climatic factors (e.g. precipitation) on streamﬂow is based on relationships between annual precipitation and streamﬂow (Dai, 2002). Dooge et al. (1999) and Milly and Dunne (2002) proposed a framework to describe ﬁrstorder estimates of the sensitivity of annual streamﬂow to precipitation and potential evaporation. The purpose of this study was to detect changes in annual streamﬂow and evaluate the impact of climate and soil conservation measures on average catchment-scale water balance. This information can be used to evaluate

Arrival and settlement of the Celts (700 BC)1. the Iberians: the first known settlers of Britain (伊比利亚人)2. the Celts came to Britain in three main waves （凯尔特人）II. Roman Britain (55BC—AD410)·British recorded history begins with the Roman invasion.·The Roman also brought the new religion,Christianity, to Britain.III. The Anglo-Saxons (446-871)--Basis of Modern English race1. three Teutonic tribes (Heptarchy七王国)·The Jutes : Kent·the Saxons : Essex, Sussex and Wessex·the Angles : East Anglia, Mercia and Northumbria2.The Anglo-Saxons brought their own Teutonic religion to Britain. Christianity soon disappeared.IV. Viking and Danish invasions1．The invaders were the Norwegians and the Danes. They attacked various parts of England from the end of the 8th century. They became a serious problem in the 9th century, especially between 835 and 878.2．King Alfred (849-899) and his contributions·Alfred was a king of Wessex. He defeated the Danes and reached a friendly agreement with them in 879. He founded a strong fleet and is known as “ the father of the British navy”.V. The Norman Conquest (1066)—the best-known event in English history1.Reasons for William’s invasion of England after King Edward’s death.It was said that King Edward has promised the English throne to William, Duke of Normandy, but theWitan chose Harold as king. So William led his army to invade England. In Oct. 1066, during the important battle of Hastings, William defeated Harold and killed him. One Christmas Day, William was crowned king of England, thus beginning the Norman Conquest of England.2.SignificanceThe Norman Conquest of 1066 is perhaps ①the best-known event in English history. William the Conqueror ② confiscated almost all the land and gave it to his Norman followers. He replaced the weak Saxonrule with ③a strong Norman government.④Norman-French culture, language, manners and architecture were introduced.Chapter 3 The Shaping of the Nation (1066-1381)I. England's feudalism under the rule of William the Conqueror①Under William, the feudal system in England was completely established. According to this system, the King owned all the land personally. William gave his barons large estates in England in return for a promise of military service and a proportion of the land's produce.②One peculiar feature of the feudal system of England was that all landowners must take the oath of allegiance，not only to their immediate lord, but also to the king.③William replaced the Witan with the Great Council④William sent his clerks to compile a property record known as Domesday Book (a property record)⑤William’s policy towards the cherch was to keep it completely under his control, but at the same time to protect church’s power.II. Henry II’s measures to consolidate the monarchy① he strengthened the Great Council to help him rule the kingdom.② he strengthened th e king’s court and divided the whole country into six circuits.③ a common law was gradually established in place of the previous laws of the local barons.④ this circuit court led to the founding of the jury system which replaced the old ordeal-based trial system.⑤ he reformed certain abuses in church courts by restricting the power of the archbishopIII. Conten t s and the significance of the Great Charter（Margna Carta）1.Great Charter was signed by King John in 1215 under the press of the barons. It consists of sixty-three clauses. Its important provisions are as follows: (1) no tax should be made without the approval of the Great Council; (2) no freemen should be arrested, imprisoned or deprived of their property; (3) the Church should possess all its rights, together with freedom of elections, etc.2. Although The Great Charter has long been popularly regarded as the ① foundation of English liberties, it was a ②statement of the feudal and legal relationships between the Crown and the barons, ③a guarantee of the freedom of the Church and a ④ limitation of the powers of the king. The spirit of the Great Charter was the limitation of the powers of the king, keeping them within the bounds of the feudal law of the land.IV. The origins of the English Parliament· The Great Council is known to be the prototype (原型)/earliest of the current British Parliament. In 1265, Simon de Montfort summoned the Great Council, together with two knights from each county and two citizens from each town. It later developed into the House of Lords and the House of Commons. Its main role was to offer advice，not to make decisions. There were no elections or parties. And the most important part of Parliament at that time was the House of Lords.·In order to collect tax, Edward I summoned the so-called “ Model Parliament” in 1295, which symbolized the real parliament came into being.V.

Henry Tudor, descendant of Duke of Lancaster won victory at Bosworth Fireld (last battle) in 1485 and put the country under the rule of the Tudors.·Ordinary people were little affected and went about their business as usual. From these Wars, English feudalism received its death blow. No less than 80 nobles of royal blood were killed in the wars. The great medieval nobility was much weakened.II. Henry VIII and The English Reformation1. Henry VIII was above all responsible for the religious reform of the church. There were three main causes: a desire for change and reform of church had been growing for many years; the privilege and wealth of the clergy were resented; and Henry needed money.2. The reform began as a struggle for a divorce and ended in freedom from the Papacy.
