问题补充：
Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning? Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.
The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain” is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK.
Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.
Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire (帝国). This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.

【小题1】细节题：从第一段的句子：Did anyone find the names of “Great Britain”, “the United Kingdom”, “England” and “the British commonwealth” which have the same meaning?可知Great Britain 和Britain 都是英国的意思，选A
【小题2】细节题：从文章第二段的句子：The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map.可知British isles是指两个主岛和成千上万的小岛，选 B

【小题4】细节题：从第二段的句子：The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map.
