joined with England，Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.句式分析第二个and 连接两个并列分句。第一分句中 to become the United Kingdom是结果状语，表示北爱尔兰加入之后的结果。第二分句中过去分词短语called the Union Jack作后置定语，修饰a new flag。尝试翻译2Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way.句式分析这是一个简单句。在 try to 中间插入时间状语 in the early twentieth century；介词短语 by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way 在句中作方式状语；其中 getting 后接复合宾语，过去分词 connected 作 Ireland 的宾语补足语。尝试翻译3It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD，the oldest building begun by the AngloSaxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066.句式分析这是一个较为复杂的简单句。动词 has 后接三个宾语：the oldest port；the oldest building；the oldest castle；每个宾语都含有一个过去分词短语作后置定语。尝试翻译答案：1.因此，只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰联合起来组成了联合王国，这从向世界展示的新的英国国旗上就可以看出来。2最后，英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来以形成联合王国。3它有公元1世纪由罗马人建造的最古老的港口，有由盎格鲁撒克逊人始建于11世纪60年代的最古老的建筑，还有公元1066年由后来的诺曼人统治者建造的最古老的城堡。如何写好导游词导游词是导游人员引导游客观光游览时的讲解词，是导游人员同游客交流思想、向游客传播文化知识的工具，也是应用写作的文体之一。一篇完整的导游词，一般包括下面三个部分：1见面时的问候语。主要包括对游客的问候、欢迎、游览注意事项和对游客的一般希望等方面，一般放在导游词的最前面。常见的表达方式有：Hello，my

increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds.VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world one？Many experts believe it

is known as “mind wandering”During these events were not paying attention to the current world around us.Instead，were recalling memories，or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering，our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world.So，the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life.VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality，there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution.Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from overtourism.In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand，have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact.These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time，to experience historical events，visit ancient cities，and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally，in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork，virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for
