The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2nd, 1666. In four days it destroyed(破坏) more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.

The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the king’s baker (面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door. Then it spread(蔓延) quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.

By eight o’clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St. Paul’s and the Guildhall among them.

Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.

The fire stopped only when the king finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out. After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect (建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St. Paul’s.

The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.

45. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that _________.

A. some people lost their lives B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

C. many famous buildings were destroyed D. the king’s bakery was burned down

46. Why did the writer cite (引用) Samuel Pepys?

A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.

B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.

C. To show that poor people suffered(遭受) most.

D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.

47. How was the fire put out according to the text?

A. The king and his soldiers came to help.

B. People pulled down houses standing in the direction of the fire.

C. People managed to get enough water from the river.

D. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.

48. Which of the following is TRUE according tot he passage?

A. The Great Fire of London ended on September 4th, 1666.

B. Many birds were burned in the fire because they couldn’t fly away in time.

C. The King’s baker caused the great fire.

D. No loss, no gain. London became a better place because of the great fire.

C

Once there was a piano player in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.

“I don't sing.” said the man.

But the lady told the waiter, “I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”

The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”

So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!

He had talent(天赋) that he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.

You, too, have skills, abilities and talent. You may not find it or feel your talent is little, but it may be greater than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. However, you may have no success at all, if you just sit on your talent.

49. The lady asked the player to sing a song because _________.

  A. she had paid him for this       B. she knew him very well

C. she wanted to have a change       D. she enjoyed his singing

50. Nat King Cole succeeded because _________.

A. the lady helped him a lot            B. he caught the chance(机会)

    C. he continued to play in the bar     D. he stopped playing the piano

51. The phrase “sit on” in the passage probably means _________.

A. fail to realize  B. forget to use C. try to develop   D. manage to show

52. Which could be the best title for the passage?

     A. Sing in the Bar   B. Become Successful in Life

      C. Never Lose Heart            D. Find Your Hidden Talent

五、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分）

阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。

Dear Nick,

Do you like to shop on the Internet? I like to buy books online.

The price is usually lower. When I want to know something about a book, I write an email to the online shop for an answer. I am shy. It is difficult for me to talk to the shopkeepers in real shops.

Sometimes online shops have pictures of the book. They can show you some pages of the book too. I think this is very helpful. Besides, I can shop at midnight if I want to. Real shops close at nine in the evening. Some people worry that the postman may lose or damage（破坏）the things they buy from online shops, but I don’t worry about that. I think it is hard to damage a book and my postman is very careful.

Some people say that shopping is good because you can go with your friends and look at many different things. They call it window shopping. I don’t have any friends and I don’t like to talk too much — it makes me tired.

I am teaching my grandmother how to shop online. She cannot walk very far so it will make shopping easy for her if she shops online. My brother wants to learn how to do it too. He is very busy most of the time. When he has a little free time, he can shop online.

What do you think of online shopping?

Your friend,

Paul
