It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom)The term “Union Jack” possibly dates from Queen Anne's time, but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the “Jacket” of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form “Jacobus” or “Jacques”； or as “jack” once meant small, the name may come from a royal proclamation (声明) issued by Charles that the flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit (船首)The Union Jack was originally a royal flag (when the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King's forts and castles, but not elsewhere); today it is flown above Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle when the Queen is not in residence. On news of a royal death, the Union Jack will be flown at half­mast (下半旗)The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queen's command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queen's official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation (休会) of Parliament; it is also flown on St David's Day, St George's Day, St Andrew's Day, and St Patrick's Day.Although the Union Jack originated as a royal flag, it is now also flown by many people and organizations elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Its use as an emblem has extended beyond the form of a flag and the Union Jack is frequently shown on other objects.21The reason why the national flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union Jack is that _.Athe flag is made of jacketBthe flag combines the emblems of three countriesCthe flag shows the symbol of unityDthe flag originated from the existence of the United Kingdom22The second paragraph mainly talks about _.Athe origin of the national flagBthe history of the national flagCthe reason why the Union Jack has become the national flagDthe way how the Union Jack has become the national flag23What is the best title for the passage?AThe Union Jack EverywhereBThe Union Jack at AnytimeCNational Flag, the Union JackDThe History of the Union JackBIn Britain, many theatres put on shows for children at Christmas and many theatres have a theatre­in­education team working there. This team, made up of actors and teachers, writes plays for children, usually performing them in schools. They do different plays for different age groups and the children often take part in the play in some way.Pantomime is a special kind of Christmas show for children. It is loved by people and also allows the audience (观众) to join in.“Pantomime” was the name of the Roman actor who performed shows without speaking this is where the English word “mime” comes from. A pantomime is always based on a well­known children's story. But there are always certain types of characters in the show and certain situations and events. For example, a pantomime must always include a hero, known as the “principal boy” and this principal boy is always played by a pretty girl wearing a short costume (服装). Then there is the comic older woman, known as the “dame” who is played by a man. There is always a group of men and women who sing and dance and often there is a pantomime horse. The horse is played by two men who form the “front” and “back” ends inside a “horse” costume. It is funny and it usually kicks the dame when she isn't looking.Members of the audience have to shout a warning to one of the characters and argue (争论) with the character (usually the dame) when she does not believe them. When she shouts, “Oh no, it isn't，” the audience always responds with “Oh yes, it is！” The audience also learns and sings a simple song and a few children are sometimes invited to help one of the characters during the show.24The theatre­in­education teams_.Aare made up of famous local actorsBwrite plays for the same age groupCoften give plays in their own theatresDusually allow children to join in a play25According to the text, a pantomime_.Ais designed to make people laughBis made up of three charactersCis especially popular with grown­upsDcan be watched all year round in Britain26When the dame says, “Yes, it is”， the audience should_.Afollow her and singBstand up and danceCrepeat what she says Ddisagree with her loudlyCI always pictured myself graduating from college, getting a cool job and even having a cute little place of my own. So far, I have a master's degree and the coolest job ever as a physician assistant. But instead of waking up in a pretty apartment, I hear the early­morning sound of my parents making coffee downstairs.At 27, I still live with my parents, and I love it.My decision to live at home was not one of absolute necessity. As a physician assistant, I make a good salary and would be able to live on my own comfortably if I needed to do so. By the time I finished graduate school, I had had a D|S150,000 debt from both undergraduate and graduate education. With several of these loans earning a 7.9% interest rate, my father calculated that my loans were increasing by D|S15 a day in interest alone. At this rate, it would take me 30 years to pay off my student loans, with much of the payment going straight to interest. At last, I decided to live with my parents. Beyond the endless supply of home­cooked meals, the best thing about moving back home is that I am not alone. Several of my physician assistant friends are in the same boat as I am we are all highly educated, white­collar employees who live at home. Our co­workers in the medical field think it is a great idea because many of them are facing the same piles of debt. They often say if they could do it all again, they would do the same thing.There's a stigma (耻辱) that comes along with this arrangement. Some people might assume that we are too lazy to find a job. I don't think my neighbors understand it, as they continually ask me when I am going to graduate and if I am old enough to look after their children. My mom just tells them that I'm successful, well­educated and that I save lives.I love living at home. Now I've paid off D|S68,000 of my student loans. Our new relationship is symbiotic (共生的). My parents benefit from having an extra set of hands around the house to help with housework and a constant source to explain all pop­culture references.27The author once imagined _.Ahaving her own beautiful house Bhaving her parents pay off her loansCliving with her parents after graduationDalways being taken care of by her parents28Why did the author decide to live with her parents?ABecause she missed them very much.BBecause she couldn't cook by herself.CBecause she needed to repay a huge debt.DBecause she was not able to support herself.29What is the author's co­workers' attitude towards her living with her parents?ACritical.BApproving.CDoubtful.

I chose without hesitation to live a day as a dentist at my friend's older brother's workplace.I got to Dr Tan's clinic at 7：45 am, 15 minutes before office hours began on Saturday. Dr Tan, who has been a dentist for five years, sat in his consulting room with a mask on his face and waited for his patients. I didn't really understand his diagnoses or treatments, but I could see that Dr Tan was a responsible doctor. He explained conditions and therapies (治疗方案) to patients at length to remove their doubts. He paused operations to let patients rest if the treatment was taking too much time. _33_ Dr Tan worked for almost the whole morning without a break. He only made a phone call to his wife to remind her to have an antenatal (产前) examination. Yes, he will be a father in five months, but he still cannot keep his wife company at the weekend. _34_ They try to ease others' pain anytime and anywhere, despite the cost to their own time and life.As the last patient said goodbye to Dr Tan in the afternoon, my visit came to an end.

Any price you would name would be _48_： a soft golden curl of hair, a pair of little worn shoes, and the fingerprints there on the wall.

There are more than eighty countries _57_ (celebrate) this festival since 1890.
