章節(jié)摘錄

　　1） London （in England） ： the largest and capital city in Britain　　London （the largest city in Europe） is home for the headquarters of all government departments， Parliament， the major legal institutions and the monarch. It is the country's business and banking center and the center of its transport network. It contains the headquarters of the national television networks and of all the national newspapers. It is about seven times larger than any other city in the country. About one fifth of the total population of the UK lives in the Greater London area. Two well- known areas of London are the West End and the East End. The former is known for its many theatres， cinemas and expensive shops. The latter is known as the poorer residential area of central London. London is also cosmopolitan. A survey in the 1990s found that 137 different languages were spoken in the homes of just one district.　　2） Birmingham （in England） ： the Second largest city in Britain　　Birmingham is Britain's second largest city. During the Industrial Revolution， Birmingham and the surrounding area of the West Midlands developed into the country's major engineering centre. Despite the decline of heavy industry in modern times， factories in this area still change iron and steel into a vast variety of goods. 　　……
