A.theflagismadeofjacket

B.theflagcombinestheemblemsofthreecountries

A.theoriginofthenationalflag

B.thehistoryofthenationalflag

C.thereasonwhytheUnionJackhasbecomethenationalflag

D.thewayhowtheUnionJackhasbecomethenationalflag

23.Whatisthebesttitleofthepassage?C

A.TheUnionJackEverywhere

B.TheUnionJackAnytime

C.NationalFlag,theUnionJack

D.TheHistoryoftheUnionJack

解析：标题判断题。A、B、D三项文章均有说到，但属于以偏概全，C项概括了文章的

介绍了爱尔兰，让我们对这个美丽的国家有了更进一步的了解。

24.WhatdoestheauthortellusinParagraph1?D

A.HowtheIrishfoughtagainsttheEnglish.

B.HowIrelandgainedindependence.

C.HowEnglishrulerstriedtoconquerIreland.

D.Howtwo“Irelands”cameintobeing.

“爱尔兰”是如何形成的。

B.peoplearemovingtothecitiesforlackofworkinthecountryside

D.differentkindsofoldIrishsongsareallsungwithinstruments

解析：细节理解题。第二段提到在19世纪40年代，由于土豆被疾病感染，大约75万

26.ThelastparagraphismainlyaboutB.

A.theIrishcharacter

B.Irishculture

C.Irishmusicalinstruments

D.afamousIrishwriter

解析：主旨大意题。通读本段内容尤其是根据本段中间部分的“Sinceindependence,

化。其余选项都不具有概括性。

27.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthetext?C

A.LifeinIreland

B.AVeryDifficultHistory

C.Ireland,PastandPresent

D.TheIndependenceofIreland

虑别人的意见。故选C。

英国的王室，引发了人们喝茶的潮流。
