任务型阅读 The death of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Windsor Castle at the age of 99, has been announced by Buckingham Palace. Prince Philip married the future Queen Elizabeth II, at Westminster Abbey in 1947. He went on to become the longest-serving consort (统治者的配偶) of any monarch in British history, accompanying his wife on her royal duties around the country and the world. He also had a busy life of his own, championing many causes and charities, including setting up the hugely successful Duke of Edinburgh Award program.  When he retired from public life in August 2017, the records showed that in addition to accompanying the queen, the prince had attended 22,219 public events on his own. Born in 1921 on the Greek island of Corfu, Philip, prince of Greece and Denmark, and sixth in line to the throne of Greece, had an unstable (动荡的) childhood.  His father was largely absent on military duty and, later, in political exile, and his mother, who suffered severe hearing loss, experienced mental health issues that resulted in her spending time at a rest room. . After leaving school in the United Kingdom, Philip attended the Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, and when the royal family paid a visit in 1939, he was given the task of accompanying the 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth. A. It was the start of a life-long romance. B. It aimed at encouraging schoolchildren to take part in charity work. C. He wrote to her mother, saying," To have fallen in love completely." D. Philip was on the opposite side in the conflict to his German brothers-in-law. E. The young Philip was often cared for by British relatives, a move that was to prove life-changing. F. He had four older sisters, the youngest being seven years his senior, so he grew up as effectively an only child. G. It brings the curtain down on a remarkable public life and an era of huge transformation in British social and national history. 答案：【1】G【2】B【3】F【4】E【5】A
