          Some students are talking about open-book exam:
    May:
    We students have so many burdens (负担). Maybe examination is the greatest one.
    Open-book exams can make our burdens lighter, I think. At least it means that we
    need not learn so many things by heart any more.

    Hill:
    Open-book exams do not mean students do not need textbooks any more. Instead,
    it shows how much students really understand about the book. It may mean we
    need spend even more time learning history and politics because the open-book
    exam means going deeply into the textbooks.

    Sun:
    We need a long time learning for history and politics exams because there are so
    many things to remember. And sometimes the results are not very good, even if we
    have spent a long time studying. If we are able to take books into our exams, we
    will save time and we won't have so many headaches.

    Tang (teacher):
    Open-book tests are harder for students because the tests make them feel they do
    not need to understand the textbooks any longer. They rely on (依靠) the books
    and spend most of their time looking for answers during exams. Sometimes they
    might not even be able to finish their tests because they have wasted too much time
    looking for answers.
    1. Who think open-book exam is easier for students?

    C. are healthy enough to remember all the things.
    D. are not very clever, so they need open-book exams
    3. What does Tang think makes some students not be able to finish their tests in time?
    [     ]
    A. They can't do it at all.
    B. The time for tests is too short.
    C. They waste time learning the answers by heart.
    D. They don't understand the textbooks very well.

        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 (面包房) 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 (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.
    1. The underlined word "family" in the second paragraph means _______.
    [     ]
    A. home         
    B. children  
    C. wife and husband   
    D. wife and children
    2. 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.  
    D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.
    3. 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
    4. Why did the writer cite (引用) Samuel Pepys?
    [     ]
    A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
