听力原文:The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2nd, 1666.

听力原文: The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2nd, 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 in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get 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.

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.

(33)

A.In a bakery.

B.In a hotel.

C.In a wooden house.

D.In old St Paul's church.

听力原文:Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditio

听力原文: Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lost touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park(if you have the time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium. Tall buildings blot out the sun. The traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.

Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.

(33)

A.The people are not in regular communication with the rhythm of nature.

B.The people can't enjoy sunshine and fresh air.

C.Modern cities offer better schools, more chances of employment.

D.Traffic fumes pollute the air.

听力原文: "Where is the university?" is a question many visitors to Cambridge ask, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus. The university consists of thirty - one self - governing colleges. It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.

The university has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research. It has more than sixty specialist subject libraries, as well as the University Library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.

Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university. It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they ,were a warded degrees.

听力原文: Some of the most interesting buildings in the world are the pyramids. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, kings built the pyramids. They used to build them as tombs. They thought pyramids would help them find life after death. They also wanted the world to remember them as important people. There are many pyramids along the Nile River. The largest is the pyramid of Khufu. It is made of 2,300,000 huge stones, most of which are higher than a person. It is about 144 meters high. To build this pyramid,100,000 men worked for twenty years.

The people of Mexico also built pyramids. They didn't build the pyramids for tombs. They used to build a pyramid and then build a temple on top of it. The pyramids of Mexico are not as high as those of Egypt, but they are big. Each pyramid has a stairway that goes from the bottom to the top. The biggest pyramid in Mexico is almost 2,000 years old. Scientist's think it took 10,000 men more than ten years to build. On top they built a temple to the sun. The temple is no longer there, but people call it the Pyramid of the Sun.

Scientists have studied the pyramids, but nobody can say just how the people of the ancient days built the pyramids and how they carried and lifted the huge stones. Each stone fits so well and they didn't have our modern machines Z.

(33)

A.They built the pyramid in honor of the gods.

B.They built the pyramid as their tombs.

C.They wanted the world to remember them.

D.Both B and C.
