KingdomIn the United Kingdom, the Prime Minister is the head of government, exercising many of the executive functions nominally vested in the Sovereign(君主), who is head of state.According to custom, the Prime Minister and the Cabinet (which he or she heads) are responsible for their actions to Parliament, of which they are members by (modern) convention（惯例）.The currentPrime Minister is the monarch’s(君主的) principal advisor.Historically, the monarch’s chief minister (if, as was not always the case, any one person could be singled out as such) might have held any of a number of offices: Lord Chancellor, Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord High Steward, Chancellor of the Exchequer（财务大臣）, Lord Privy Seal, or secretary of State among others.With the emergence, in the eighteenth century, of government by a cabinet of these ministers, its head came in time to be called the“Prime Minister”(sometimes also “Premier” orministerial positions, if only in a nominal sense—the official title of the Prime Minister’s ministerial position is First Lord of the Treasury.Sir Robert Walpole is generally regarded as the first Prime Minister in the modern sense.The Prime Minister is appointed by the Sovereign, who is bound by constitutional convention to choose the individual most likely to command the support of the House of Commons (normally, the leader of the party with a majority in that body).Should the Prime Minister lose the confidence of the House of Commons (indicated, for example, by the passage of a no confidence motion), he or she is morally obliged by similar conventions either to resign (in which case the Sovereign can try to find another Prime Minister who has the House’s confidence) or to request the monarch to call a general election.Since the premiership is in some small sense still a de facto position, the office’s powers are mainly a matter of custom rather than law, deriving from the incumbent’s ability to appoint (through the Sovereign) his or her Cabinet colleagues, as well as from certain uses of the royal prerogative which may be exercised directly by the Prime Minister, or by the Monarch on the Prime Minister’s advice.Some commentators have pointed out that, in practice, the powers of the office are subject to very few checks, especially in an era when Parliament and the Cabinet are seen as unwilling to challenge dominant Prime Ministers whose attention isThe UK under the leadership of the Current Prime Minister Tony BlairEighteen years of Conservative rule ended in May 1997 when Tony Blair and the Labor Party succeeded in the British elections.Blair ha s been compared to former U.S.president Bill Clinton for his youthful, telegenic(适于电视广播的) personality and centrist views.He produced constitutional reform that partially decentralized（分散）the UK, leading to the formation of separate Parliaments in Wales and Scotland by 1999.Britain turned over its colony Hong Kong to ChinaBlair’s controversial meeting in Oct.1997 with Sinn Fein’s president, Gerry Adams, was the first meeting in 76 years between a British prime minister and a Sinn Fein leader.It infuriated numerous factions but was a symbolic gesture in support of the nascent peace talks in Northern Ireland.In 1998 the Good Friday Agreement, strongly supported by Tony Blair, led to the first promise of peace between Catholics and Protestants since the beginning of the so-called Troubles.Along with the U.S., BrHussein expelled UN arms inspectors.In the spring of 1999, Britain spearheaded the NATO operation in Kosovo, which resulted in Yugoslavian president Slobodan Milosevic’s withdrawal from theIn Feb.2001, foot-and-mouth disease broke out among British livestock, prompting other nations to ban British meat imports and forcing the slaughter of thousands of cattle, pigs, and sheep in an effort to stem the highly contagious disease.The episode cost farmers and the touristIn June 2001, Blair won a second landslide victory, with the Labour Party capturing 413 seatsBritain became the staunchest ally of the U.S.after the Sept.11 attacks.British troops j oined the U.S.in the bombing campaign against Afghanistan in Oct.2001, after the Taliban-led government refused to turn over the prime suspect in the terrorist attacks, Osama bin Laden.Blair again proved himself to be the strongest international supporter of the U.S.in Sept.2002, when he became President Bush’s major ally in calling for a war against Iraq.Blair maintained that military action was justified because Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction that were a direct threat to its e nemies.He continued to support the Bush administration’s hawkish policies despite significant opposition in his own party and the British public.In March 2003, a Londonn without a UN mandate.As the inevitability of the U.S.strike on Iraq grew nearer, Blair announced that he would join the U.S.in fighting Iraq with or without a secon d UN resolution.Three of his ministers resigned as a result.Britain entered the war on Maexaggerating Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction.In July 2003 Blair announced that “history would forgive” the UK and U.S.“if we are wrong” and that the end to the “inhuman carnage and suffering” caused by Saddam Hussein was justification enough for the war.The arguments about the war grew so vociferous between the Blair government and the BBC that a prominent weapons scientist, David Kelly, who was caught in the middle, committed suicide.In Jan.2004, the Hutton Report exonerated the Blair administration of any misconduct concerning the weapons inspections and concluded that it had not“sexed-up”the intelligence dossier, a nfor its “defective” editorial policies, and as a consequence, the BBC’s top management resigned.In July 2004, the Butler Report on pre-Iraq war British intelligence was released.It echoed the11 findings of the U.S.Senate Intelligence Committee of the week before that the intelligence had vastly exaggerated Saddam Hussein’s threat.The famous claim that Iraq’s chemical and biological weapons “are deployable within 45 minutes of an order to use them”was especially singled out ashighly misleading.But like the U.S.report, it cleared the government of any role in manipulatingOn May 5, 2005, Blair won a historic third term as the country’s prime ministthis victory, Blair’s party was severely hurt in the elections.The Labour Party won just 36% of the national vote, the lowest percentage by a ruling party in British history.The Conservative Party won 33%, and the Liberal Democrats 22%.Blair acknowledged that the reason for the poor showing was Britain’s involvement in the war in Iraq, which was widely unpopular.A number of political analysts believe Blair will not serve out his new five-year term.Many expect him to resign in the next several years and turn over the reins of the Labour Party to Gordon Brown, the chancellor of the exchequer, whose policies many credit in creating Britain’s strong and stable economy.On July 7, 2005, London suffered a terrorist bombing, Britain’s worst attack since World War Ⅱ.Four bombs exploded in three subway stations and on one double-decker bus during the morning rush hour, killing 52 and wounding more than 700.Four Muslim men, three of them British-born, were identified as the suicide bombers.On July 21,terroattack on the transit system, but the bombs failed to explode.A leaked document by a top British government official warned Prime Minister Blair more than a year before the bombings that Britain’s engagement in Iraq was fueling Isl amic extremism, but Blair has repeatedly denied such a link, contending that the bombings were the result of an “evil ideology” that had taken root before the Iraq war.Blair has proposed legislation that would toughen the country’s antiterrorism measures.。

John Snow believed Idea 2 was right. How did he finally prove it? First there wasEngland. In the 13th century AD, Wales was linked to England. In 1603 England and Wales were joined to Scotland. The name Great Britain came into being. Three centuries later Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom.(John Snow finally proved his idea because he found an outbreak that was clearly related to cholera, collected information and was able to tie cases outside the area to the polluted water.)2. Do you think John Snow would have solved this problem without the map?(No. The map helped John Snow organize his ideas. He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and check their water-drinking habits. He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits. The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.)3. Cholera is a 19th century disease. What disease do you think is similar to cholera today?(Two diseases, which are similar today, are SARS and AIDS because they are both serious, have an unknown cause and need public health care to solve them.)Step 4 SummaryHave the students use the information to write a short summary of the passagePossible version: The writer examines how the UK developed as an administrative unit.

The name was given in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall，who was in charge of the work when the bell was built in 1856. It didn't strike until 3 years later.The clock has become a landmark of the United Kingdom and London, particularly in the visual media (可视媒体). When a televisionor film-maker wishes to quickly show a non-UK audience a certain location in Britain，a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower.The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom, with radio and TV stations tuning to its chimes (报时钟声) to welcome the start of the year.Londoners who live a proper distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can, by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television, hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Year's Eve. This is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves.Big Ben has appeared in many films. In the 1978 version of The Thirty-Nine Steps, the hero attempted to halt the clock's progress to prevent a linked bomb blowing up by hanging from the minute hand of its western face. It was also used in the filming of Shanghai Knights starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson, and was described as being partially destroyed in the 2012 film Doctor Who. An animated version (卡通版) of the clock was also used as the setting in the Walt Disney film The Great Mouse Detecti v e，and was shown being destroyed by a UFO in the film Mars Attacks!1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The nickname of the clock was given by Benjamin.B．The clock strikes 13 times to welcome the New Year.C．The radio and TV make a mistake about the clock's chimes.D．Benjamin was responsible for the work when the bell was built.2．Big Ben has served people for about ________ years.A．151 B．148C．146 D．1533．The second paragraph mainly wants to show us that Big Ben is ________.A．a symbol of UK and LondonB．a most popular scene for film-makersC．a must-see sight for tourists to LondonD．a popular place to have pictures taken4．The underlined word“halt” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.A．look into somethingB．get something to stopC．make something work againD．draw people's attention to something5．In which of the following movies was the clock destroyed?A．The Thirty-Nine Steps and Shanghai Knights.B．Shanghai Knights and Doctor Who.C．The Great Mouse Detecti v e and Doctor Who.D．Mars Attacks and Doctor Who.BWho are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America“home”，but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “Americans” is really not true. In fact, what exists in America is more often a kind of “side-by-side” living in which groups of people from other countries have often kept many of their customs and habits.They join the general American society only in certain areas of their lives—such as in schools，business, and sports—but they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home. This living “side-by-side”has both advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it may cause disagreements to develop between groups whose ways of life are very different from one another.However, there are also great advantages that come from the variety of cultures brought by settlers from other lands. There is great freedom of choice among ideas and dress, food, and social customs in America.Everyone can find some part of his or her familiar world in the United States, in churches, music，food, national groups, or newspapers.6．“Side-by-side”living style means________.A．making friends with native peopleB．keeping their own customs while sharing American ones in certain areasC．the groups of people who live nearbyD．that they get closer to American society7．According to the passage, people in the USA________.A．share American customs and culturesB．live in a kind of“side-by-side” societyC．keep their own customs and habits firmlyD．make no choice to accept American customs8．Which of the following statements is true?A．They always stick to their own customs and habits.B．“Side-by-side” living style is not suitable.C．They face the society they are not familiar with.D．The advantages coming from the variety of cultures make life in America colorful. 9．Which is the best title for this passage?A．Advantages and disadvantagesB．Different customs and habitsC．Home for the peopleD．“Side-by-side”living style in AmericaⅤ.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Warming Up1. Brief introduction of the United KingdomBritain is a country of gentlemen, and it plays an important role in the international affairs,but how much do you know about the United Kingdom? This is a quiz, which is intended for Ss toshow what they already know about the United Kingdom. Use the quiz to motivate Ss ’ interests First, let Ss do the quiz, and see how much they know about the UK.(1) How many countries does the UK consist of?A. twoB. threeC. four(2) How long does it take to fly from Beijing to London Heathrow Airport?A. about six hoursB. about ten hoursC. about sixteen hours(3) Who rules the country: the Prime Minister or the Queen?A.

Tell them that if they got five right answers, theyknew a lot about the UK already. Then give some explanation about the questions to Ss, andintroduce some more information about the country.Question 1: The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.More about this appears in the first reading passage.Question 2: It takes ten hours to fly from Beijing to London Heathrow Airport if you take adirect flight.Question 3: It may appear to an outsider that the Queen has an important role in ruling thecountry. However, this is not so. Her position is ceremonial: opening Parliament, welcomingHeads from other countries, going on tours to other countries to encourage trade with Britain,etc. The Prime Minister together with his most important ministers (called the Cabinet) and hisMembers of Parliament (each from a different part of the country) make the important politicaldecisions and the laws.Question 4: The counties of Britain are much smaller than provinces in China. They have local government powers for their area. Counties have several Members of Parliament dependingon the size of their population. Large towns such as Reading have two MPs and the largest cityin England outside London, which is Birmingham, has ten MPs.Question 5: The Rivers Thames and Severn are very similar in length but the River Thames isslightly longer. The River Thames is 338 km and the River Severn is 290 km. The River Avon ismuch shorter.Besides, give the students an opportunity to discuss. Let them talk freely about what theyknow about the UK. If there is someone who has gone to the country, let him or her give someinstructions to motivate the others’ interests.3. More Information about the United KingdomIn order to motivate Ss’ interests, first, let them enjoy some beautiful pictures about the UK,and according to the knowledge they have mastered, let them guess the names of the places ofinterest. Besides, can introduce some more information about the UK to the students. Then askthem if they want to know more about the beautiful country.(1) Britain:The official name of the nation known as“ Britain” is the United Kingdom of Great Britainand Northern Ireland.The United Kingdom, or the UK, consists of Great Britain (i.e. the large island that is made upof England, Scotland and Wales), Northern Ireland, and a lot of coastal islands (The Isle ofWight, Anglesey, the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland, and others).England is just the largest country in the United Kingdom.(2) People:People from the UK are called The British, or Britons. Depending on where in Britain theycome from, they may also be called“ English” ,“ Scottish” (or“ Scots” ),“ Welsh” or“ North (3) Population:The total population of the UK is 55,486,800 (1991 census figures): it will probably reachabout 60 million by the year 2030, and then start to fall.(4) Languages:The official language in the whole of the UK is English, but Gaelic is also an official languagein Scotland, and Welsh in Wales.(5) Government:The United Kingdom is a Constitutional Monarchy; however, as a Parliament Democracy,the ultimate authority in the land is Parliament-not the Prime Minister nor the Monarchy.Step 2. Pre-reading1. Individual workSince you have learned something about the UK, you are to answer the following threequestions about her. Can you name the capital cities of the countries of the UK?(1)England can be divided into three main areas. Do you know what they are?(2)What do you know about any cities or towns in the UK?2. Pair workAsk Ss to share the answers to the above questions with their partners so that they can knowsomething about the United Kingdom.Step 3. Reading1. Leading -inThis reading explains how the UK was formed geographically and historically.
