The British Empire was once home to third of the 【M1】 ________.
world’s population. But, with the return of Hong Kong and its six
million inhabitants to China, only 180,000 people in 12 populated
territories now themselves as British colonial subjects. 【M2】 ________.
Britain’s imperial expansion, which continued for 400 years,
was motivated by the desire to acquire the wealth, and to 【M3】 ________.
maintain the British navy’ s control of the seas. Today, that flow
of wealth has reversed and most of the "dependent territories", 【M4】 ________.
as these colonies are known, require some financial support from Britain.
It was with the granting of independence to India in 1947 Britain 【M5】 ________.
started to dismantle its empire. It was relative easy to give independence 【M6】 ________.
to the larger colonies -indeed, most campaigned vigorously for self- rule--
but the small dependencies ,which were less economically viable, preferred 【M7】 ________.
to remain beyond British rule. 【M8】 ________.
Most are still unwilling to cut these old ties, chiefly for financial
reasons. Since 1990, Britain has provided its dependencies with £ 153 million
in aid, and for many this money is a lifeline. Even Britain’s rich 【M9】 ________.
territory, Bermuda ,wants to maintain its links with the UK. In
a referendum in 1995 voters overwhelmingly rejected dependence. 【M10】 ________.
Bermuda is Britain’s oldest colony and it earns much of its income
through banking and other financial services.
【M10】
选项
答案
dependence:independence
解析
继续依据上下文的连贯,不难发现错误所在。“referendum”为“the sub- mission of a proposed public measure or actual statute to a direct popular vote”投票权;“overwhelming”为“of debating completely”压倒一切的;“reject”为“to discard as defective or usuless;oppose”反对。
