VII. Reading comprehension: (20分；每小题)

The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666.
In four
days it destroyed 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 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, 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 was the 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.
1.The fire began in .
A.
a hotel B.
the palace C.
Pudding Lane

4.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 most.
D. To give the reader a clearer picture
of the fire.
5.How was the fire put out according to the text?
A.
The king and his soldiers came to help.
B.
All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.
C.
People managed to get enough water from the river.

Let us say there is something you don’t know how to do.
In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or relative, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term.
But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of.
In one sense, these “How- to”sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning.
This tradition has found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs—or Frequently Asked Questions files – that began on Usenet, the Internet’s global discussion group.
These FAQs, many of which still circulate (go around continuously,) took a specific subject and explained it to complete novices.(初学者)
But “How- to”sites take the FAQ idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren’t necessarily associated with discussion forums.(论坛).
These sites take the style of a written tutorial(指南)and a tone of friendly advice.
Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn 2.com (www.learn2.com). It offers nearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.
At ehow.com(www.ehow.com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps.
7.The passage wants to _______________________.
A. introduce new websites to netizens.(网民)
B. say how to learn new courses by Internet
C. bring new means to learn something new
D. help you to solve any difficulty you meet with
8“How-to” sites are set up to ______.
A. explain FAQs to the public
B. help people with their new need
C. tell the differences from discussion forums
D. complete the growing world of online learning
9. The passage doesn’t describe directly, but we may guess that ________.
A. a deaf person can teach himself at home by visiting “ How- to ” sites
B.“How – to ”sites are specially designed for the disabled
C. you can just click your mouse at home to question anything
D. it is pleasant to listen to the advice on “How- to ” sites.
10. If you have no tent when you decide to go camping, you may ________.
A. visit www.learn2.com
B. visit www.ehow.com
C. visit some sites else
D. go to the tourist company
