* Passage 2(2017浙江绍兴一中一模,A)词数:306 We meet in a week that could change the United Kingdom forever. Indeed, it could end the United Kingdom as we know it. On Thursday, Scotland votes, and the future of our country is at stake. On Friday, people could be living in a different country, with a different place in the world and a differ-ent future ahead of it. This is a decision that could break up our family of nations, and rip(撕)Scotland from the rest of the UK. And we must be clear. There is no going back from this. No rerun. This is a once-and-for-all decision. If Scotland votes Yes, the UK will split, and we will go our separate ways forever. When people vote on Thursday they are not just voting for themselves, but for their children and grandchil-dren and the generations beyond. So I want to speak directly to the people of this country today about what is at stake. I speak for millions of people across England, Wales and Northern Ireland and many in Scotland too who would be completely heartbroken by the breakup of the United Kingdom. Completely heartbro-ken to wake up on Friday morning to the end of the country we love, to know that Scots would no longer join with the English, Welsh and Northern Irish in our Army, Navy and Air Force, in our UK- wide celebrations, in UK sporting teams from the Olympics to the British Lions. The United King-dom would be no more. No UK pensions, no UK passports, and no UK pounds. It would be the end of a country that launched the Enlightenment (启蒙运动), that abolished slavery, that drove the In-dustrial Revolution, that defeated fascism(法西斯主义);the end of a country that people around the world respect and admire;the end of a country that all of us call home. 1.According to the speech, whats the influence of a Yes vote on the UK? A.It promises a better future for the country. B.It will protect the country from getting split. C.It means a risky future for people of the country. D.It will break up many families in the UK. 2.
