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 Kings baker(面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife andfamily, 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 oclock 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 Pauls and the Guildhall along them. Samuel Peyps, 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 the new St Pauls. 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.59. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that_.

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.

People managed to get enough water from the river. D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.62. Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?_. (a) There was a strong wind. (b) The streets were very narrow. (c) Many houses were made of wood. (d) There was not enough water in the city. (e) people did not discover the fire earlier. A. (a), (b) B. (a), (b), (C) C. (a), (b), (d) D. (b), (c) (e) CFor an owl (猫头鹰) with one-metre wingspan, the sky should be the limit. But Troy prefers his birds eye view to be no higher than 5 feet 10 inches. The one-year-old owl has an inconvenient symptom: hes afraid of heights. After an unfortunate start in life when he fell from his nest by accident, Troy was raised by Gareth Tonen, a handler (饲养员), who just happens to be 5 feet 10 inches tall.As a result, Troy has grown up without any great ambitions of his own. When it es to trees, he cant see what is about and would prefer to fly along at Mr. Tonens side. Only when the 25-year-old handler climbs up a tree can Troy be tempted to leave his fort zone and join him.Ashley Smith said, “ Troys fear of heights was a result of forgetting how to be a bird. Hes been in captivity (被圈养) for as long as he can remember and has never been higher than his handler can lift him. He sees himself as more of a human than an owl, and he doesnt know how to sit in trees or hunt. Gareth has to almost act like an owl to get Troy to behave like one.”As a result, a daily tree climb has bee part of Troys and Mr. Tonens routine. Ladders have been fixed so Mr. Tonen can climb into the trees and call for Troy, who will fly up and join his handler but go no higher. Most of the time he flies down again, but occasionally Mr. Tonen has to carry him back to ground level. The afternoon ends with a meal of mouse, rabbit or his favorite, chicken.Mr. Tonen said, “He now looks upon me as his mum or dad. Hes gaining more confidence and if I have to carry on climbing up trees with him then well do what it takes for him to be a high flyer.63. Troy was brought up by Gareth Tonen because he _.A. couldnt fly highB. got badly hurtC. left his parents accidentallyD. couldnt live in trees64. What can you learn from the second paragraph?A. Troy doesnt show any interest in flying high up in the sky.B. Gareth Tonen has spoiled Troy by offering him everything.C. Gareth Tonen is pleased to see Troy fly along at his side.D. Troy would like his owner Gareth Tonen to climb up trees.65. According to Ashley Smith, Troy doesnt know he is a bird because _.A. he has developed the symptom of fearing heights.B. he has been raised since he was very small.C. he cant learn how to fly higher than his owner.D. he doesnt want to fly among trees hunting for food.66. Why does Gareth Tonen have to climb up trees every day?A. To set an example of flying high to Troy.B. To see how high Troy can really fly.C. To teach Troy how to get meals in high trees.D. To get Troy back down to cure his fear of heights.DA morning rarely began so perfect. I took in the fresh air and felt my heart run into an enthusiastic rhythm. Though cool, the sun warmed my back as it rose over the horse from not far from my house. The slightest wind danced on my skin. Just enough to keep a runner form overheating. My ever-faithful jogging partner, a black dog named Nika pulled my leg with her mouth, mirroring my eagerness to start our run.We raced forward with determination, ready to leap tall buildings and race against speeding trains. We pushed harder and ran faster, demonstration our skill and impressing passing motorists and neighbors.We kept on running until we hit the Beast, a name for a very difficult, nearly two-mile long steep climb.Only a few paces into the Beast, I gasped for air. Far short of superhero status, my enthusiasm and active steps were lost somewhere at the base of the hill. A vision of the newspaper and a cup of coffee waiting in my kitchen appeared, attracting me to turn back toward home.With a glance I noticed Nika wasnt doing any better. She continued to faithfully follow me, putting one paw in front of the other, but without her former eagerness. Her tiredness touched me. And in that moment, I felt a sudden spark of renewed determination to press on. I couldnt allow this mountain to get the better of us. To improve both our spirits, I managed to shout, “Good girl, Nika! Keep goingyou can do it!”“Im encouraging a dog, for heavens sake! I needed to pull myself together. With a few simple words, I changed our course. One moment we were on the edge of quitting. The next, our feet picked up the pace and we continued. Though tired and discouraged myself, with a few kind words I impacted a dogs ability to go further. Im sure I could have pleted the opposite with ill-chosen ments and an unpleasant tone. Instead, the Beast was defeated and we flew like heroes the rest of the way home.Life is full of beasts to conquer. For some, it is the seemingly impossible climb of cancer. For others, their beast takes the shape of parenting a child or a teenager. Uphill climbs e in all shapes and sizes, mon only in their ability to defeat, discourage and tempt tired travelers to quit. Sometimes all thats needed is a few spoken, well-timed word
