The UK covers all of 4 ． last four countries. Therefore, any people from the four places can be referred to as from the UK.

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章辨析了 the United Kingdom 和 England 这两个地理概念。
1 ．
考查副词。句意： The Queen of the United Kingdom 可以非正式地称为 the British Queen 。此处用副词 unofficially 作状语，修饰动词 be called 。故填 unofficially 。
2 ．
考查语态。句意：称它为 the British Queen 的人将被视为没有受过教育的人，因为自 1707 年以来就没有英国女王了。结合情态动词 will 可知，主语 People ( 定语从句 who call her the Queen of England 修饰 People) 和谓语动词 regard 是被动关系，谓语用一般将来时的被动语态（ will be done ），此处用 be done 形式。故填 be regarded 。
3 ．
考查连词。句意：问题来自于 UK 、大不列颠、英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰令人困惑的名字。该空前后是并列关系，用并列连词 and 。故填 and 。
4 ．
考查冠词。句意： UK 涵盖了最后四个国家。此处特指前面提及的 “England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland” ，用定冠词 the 表特指。故填 the 。
5 ．
考查时态。句意：然而，他们可能更喜欢被称为来自英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士或北爱尔兰，因为每个国家的名字代表不同的历史和文化。此处缺少谓语，讲的是客观的事实，时态用一般现在时，主语 the individual country's name 是单数，谓语也用单数形式。故填 stands 。
6 ．
考查动词不定式。句意：如果他们有明显的口音，最好用四个名字中的一个来描述他们。 It be adj. to do sth. ， It 是形式主语，动词不定式（ to do ）是真正主语，此处用动词不定式（ to do ）形式。故填 to describe 。
7 ．
考查宾语从句。句意：然后他们可能会告诉你他们从哪里来。动词 tell 后接宾语从句，该空在从句中作宾语，表示地点，用引导词 where 。故填 where 。
8 ．
考查名词的数。句意：根据他们来自四个国家中的哪一个，他们将以不同的方式展示他们的反应。 reaction 是可数名词，此处指 “ 不止一个反应 ” ，用名词复数形式。故填 reactions 。
9 ．
考查 -ed 形容词和 -ing 形容词。句意：苏格兰人会生气，认为你愚蠢。修饰人用 -ed 形容词，修饰物用 -ing 形容词，此处修饰人 Scots ，用 -ed 形容词 annoyed ( 恼怒的 ) 。故填 annoyed 。
10 ．
考查形容词。句意：北爱尔兰大约 50% 的人会变得极度疯狂。 become 是系动词，此处用形容词 mad 作表语。故填 mad 。
