Great Britain is an island that lies off the northwest coast of Europe. The nearest country is France which is 20 miles away. Great Britain is separated from France by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east. It includes the main lands of England, Wales and Scotland. Scotland is in the north while Wales is in the west. Ireland, which is also an island, lies off the west coast of Great Britain. It is made up of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A,B,C,D)中,選出最佳選項。
The United States will introduce a new and comprehensive (綜合的) exam for students who seek to study in America and other English-speaking countries, Xin Hua News Agency(新華社) reported from New York.
The exam, which stands for a great change from the current English level test, was disclosed by Theresa Chang-whei Jen, associate director of the International Service of the US College Board, America's leading educational organization.
The Advanced Placement International English Language ( APIEL) will be offered for the first time throughout the world on May 10, 2002, said Jen.
However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similar popularity of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign language) , the GRE (Graduate Record Examination ), or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).
“I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam,”said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (北京航天航空大學(xué)), who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.
Most of Xu's classmates have never heard of the APIEL.“The APIEL is designed for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, and Australia.”said Jen.
The APIEL has been adopted, said Jen, because the TOEFL can no longer accurately (準(zhǔn)確地) reflect the abilities of students to use the English language comprehensively in an academic environment. Xin Hua reported that a fairly large number of foreign students who earned high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after admission(錄取).
Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL, measures a student's ability to read, write, speak and understand English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with accuracy (精確) and resourcefulness (機(jī)智), and writing with clarity (明晰) and fluency (流暢), Jen said.
