| The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2, 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 (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 (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, 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 fire began in _____. |
| A. a hotel B. the palace C. Pudding Lane D. Thames Street |
| 2. The underlined word "family" in the second paragraph means _____. |
| A. home B. children C. wife and husband D. wife and children |
| 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. 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. D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down. |

| Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place. The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005. It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard. Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off green-house gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example. But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary. There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb. |
| 1. What does the underlined phrase "over-consumption" refer to? |
| A. Using too much packaging. B. Recycling too many wastes. C. Making more products than necessary. D. Having more material than is needed. |
| 2. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _____. |
| A. the tendency of cutting household waste B. the increase of packaging recycling C. the rapid growth of supermarkets D. the fact of packaging overuse |
| 3. According to the text, recycling _____. |
| A. helps control the greenhouse effect B. means burning packaging for energy C. is the solution to gas shortage D. leads to a waste of land |
| 4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? |
| A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality. B. Supermarkets care more about packaging. C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging. D. Other products are better packaged than food. |
| 5. What can we learn from the last paragraph? |
| A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult. B. Needless material is mostly recycled. C. People like collecting recyclable waste. D. The author is proud of their consumer culture. |

| Called "The School of the Future" and created with help from software giant Microsoft, a recently- opened public school in Philadelphia, US, is believed to be the first in the world to combine innovation teaching methods with the latest technology. At this school, students work on wireless laptops, teachers eschew traditional subjects for real-world topics and parents can track their children's work on the Internet. The school, which costs the school district $63 million to build, is free and has no entrance exams. The 170 ninth-grade students were selected at random from l,500 applicants. Philadelphia School District Chief Executive Paul Vallas told students they would be observed by other schools around the world. "You have become instant role models," Vallas said. "People are going to be watching you." Students still sit in classrooms, but lessons rely heavily on information found on the Internet and on interactive software. Students will be allowed to learn at their own pace. Homework is done on the computer and sent to the teacher for grading and parents can access to the school's network to read the teacher's feedback on their children's progress. Traditional education fails to teach students the skills of problem-solving, critical thinking and effective communication, which they need to succeed in the 21st century, Principal Shirley Grover said in an interview. "It's not about memorizing certain algebraic equations (代数方程式) and then presenting them in 8 test," Grover said. "It's about thinking how maths might be used to solve a quality of water problem or how it might be used to determine whether or not we are safe in Philadelphia from the bird flu." David Terry, 14, said he was hoping to "turn over a new leaf" after discipline problems in his previous school left him with an "average to really bad" academic record. "This is a great opportunity for me," he said. "In other schools, I would not _____." |
