A few years ago, people in England voted for the greatest person of all time from their country. They were not just voting for the most famous person ever. They were voting for the people who had an impact on history. During this vote, anyone could add a person’s name to the list, so the final list of names was quite long. It included people who were famous and unknown, rich and poor, loved and hated.
Before the final deadline, about one million people filled out this survey. The Brits(英国人)on the final list included many people famous not only from England, but around the world as well. For example, Princess Diana, Tony Blair, John Lennon, and Shakespeare were four famous people on the list. Although three of these people ranked high on the list, none was chosen as the greatest Brit. In the end, the winner was Winston Churchill, who received more than 400,000 votes.
Why did so many people think Churchill was great? He led England as Prime Minister during World War II. During the war, Germany sent planes to bomb England, and at the time, many people were afraid Germany would win the war. But Churchill gave the people in England hope through his speeches. He also worked with Roosevelt in the United States and Stalin in Russia to win the war against Hitler, so he became an important man in world history as well.
Churchill is quite famous for things that he said and wrote. In fact, he won the Nobel Prize in literature for his writing. Some things Churchill said were humorous while other things were serious. Also some things he said have become common sayings in English. For example, he was the first person to use the words "the Iron Curtain" to talk about Russia’s control of Eastern Europe. Some of Churchill’s most famous quotes are " It is no use saying, ’ We’re doing our best. ’ You have got to succeed in doing what is necessary," and "Never, never, never give up. " Many quotes from Winston Churchill can be found in books like the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

Complete the table with no more than three words from the passage.
选项
答案
the Iron Curtain
解析
(由最后一段第四句“he was the first person to use the words“the Iron Curtain”to talk about Russia’s control of Eastern Europe”可知,“铁幕”一词是丘吉尔发明的,用来形容苏俄对东欧的控制。因此填the Iron Curtain,表示“铁幕政策”。)
