B．people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside C．it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker D．different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
解析：选A 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75万人死于饥饿，由此可知这一时期的食物短缺导致了人口下降。本段最后一句话也是线索提示。
3．The last paragraph is mainly about ________. A．the Irish character B．Irish culture
C．Irish musical instruments D．a famous Irish writer
解析：选B 段落大意题。通读本段内容尤其是根据本段中间部分的“Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of ...” 可知，本段主要阐述的是爱尔兰文化。其余选项都不具有概括性。
4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Life in Ireland B．A Very Difficult History C．Ireland, Past and Present D．The Independence of Ireland
解析：选C 标题归纳题。文章回顾了爱尔兰艰辛的独立过程以及曾经的艰难岁月，接着概述了爱尔兰如今的风貌，所以“爱尔兰今昔”作文章标题最合适。
加餐练(二) 第Ⅱ卷规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
You may know the English letters A, B and C, but do you know there are people __1__ (call) ABC? You may like __2__ (eat) bananas, but have you heard of “banana people”？ How strange! Are these people from another planet? No.They are Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China.
ABC __3__ (mean) American-born Chinese. __4__ ABC is a Chinese, but is born in the United States. Sometimes, people call him or her a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white __5__， so, when a person is a banana, he or she is American inside and Chinese outside.
Do you know why? __6__ (usual), ABCs know little about China. Some of __7__ don't speak Chinese. Also, they may not be __8__ (interest) in Chinese politics. But if ABCs can't 版权所有:中国好课堂www.zghkt.cn
speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be __9__ (citizen) of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. __10__ they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.
语篇解读：本文向读者介绍了ABC?在美国出生的中国人?的一些情况。 1．called called ABC是过去分词短语作定语。 2．eating like＋v.-ing表示喜欢经常做一件事情。
3．means ABC被视为一个整体，其后的谓语动词用第三人称单数。 4．An ABC是以元音音素开头的，故其前用不定冠词an。 5．inside 句意：香蕉是外黄内白。
6．Usually 句意：通常，他们对中国的了解很少。 7．them them指代上文提到的ABCs。
8．interested be interested in为固定短语。句意：他们对中国的政治也不感兴趣。 9．citizens 这里需用可数名词的复数形式。 10．But 前后两句表示转折关系，因此用but连接。 Ⅱ.短文改错

答案：第一句：so→but; what→how 第二句：to→in 第三句：don't→didn't
第四句：去掉the; listened→listen 第五句：advices→advice
第七句：understanding→understand 第八句：fluent→fluently 第九句：want后加to Ⅲ.书面表达
