The Union Jack became the flag of Great Britain. Australias flag has the Union Jack in the top left -hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross. They have kept this small part of Britain on their flag because their country was first settled by people from Britain. Australias flag is the same color as the Union Jack red, white and blue. The act of joining together is called a “union”. The Union Jack was the name of the flag made when England, Scotland and Ireland joined together to make one country.It all began in 1707, when England and Scotland joined together to become one nation. A flag was made using two crosses one for the patron saint of each country, which means protector. Many centuries before, the English had taken St. George as their patron saint. His emblem was a red cross on a white background. The Scottish patron saint was St Andrew. In memory of him, they used a white cross on a blue background. This cross was shaped like the letter “X”. The new flag was a mixture of both flags with two sets of crosses.When Ireland joined England and Scotland in 1800, another cross was added. St Paricks cross of Ireland was red and also shaped like an “X”. All three flags now made up the Union Jack.1The Union Jack is the flag of _.Athe United Nations BIreland CEngland and Scotland DGreat Britain2It is because _ that Australia has the Union Jack in the top left-hand corner together with the stars of the Southern Cross.Athe Union Jack was named when England, Scotland and Ireland joined togetherBpeople from Britain brought the flag of Great Britain to AustraliaCpeople from Britain settled in Australia firstDthe flag of Great Britain is colourful3According to the text, which of the following statements is NOT true?ASt. George was the English patron saint.BThe Scottish had taken St. Andrew as their patron saint.CSt. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland, whose cross was red.DEver since 1800, the British have taken Union Jack as their patron saint.四、写作假如你是Mike，是美国Jenks High School与红星七中交换项目的学生，请就本校食堂服务(canteen service)的状况给校长写一封信。内容包括：优点不足建议食堂干净价格偏高尽快解决问题饭菜可口种类偏少服务态度好等候时间较长字数：100左右。Dear Mr. Principal,I am an exchange student from Jenks High School.
