10．The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2September 1666．In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city，where most of the houses were wooden and close together．Over one hundred 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 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 which were 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．

28．How was the fire put out according to the text？D
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
29．It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact thatC．
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
30．Why did the writer cite（引用）Samuel Pepys？C
A．Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire．
B．Because Pepys also wrote about the fire．
C．To give readers a clearer picture of the fire．
D．To show that poor people suffered most．
31．Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire？A
（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） and （c）

17．Do you have a good memory？Maybe you remember better than all of your friends．But even if you have a short-term memory，it's better than a chimpanzee's（黑猩猩），right？Well，you may be wrong．
    Tetsuro Matszawa，a scientist from Kyoto University，Japan has showed how chimps have far better memories than humans．"We learn that chimps have great memories by doing tests，"he told The Guardian"You can do things to improve your memory．"
    How do chimps have better memories than us？Scientists t ested four chimps and human volunteers．They showed them five numbers on a computer screen．Chimps and human volunteers had to remember the numbers correctly．But to make it hard，the numbers dis appeared after seven tenths of a second．Then they will reduce the time to two tenths of a second．While humans began to make mistak e after mistake，the young chimps still did very well．
    Why do they have better memories？We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimps．But during evolution（进化），we lost some of our shared abilities．As humans learned new skills，like language，we had to lose some of our memory skills to make room in our brains．"To get something，we had to lose something，"said the scientist．
    Chimps need good memories to survive．When a chimp looks up at the big tree and pick a banana，he must remember where he saw it as he fights off competition from other animals．
33．What did the scientist's study find？B
A．Chimps can remember all of their friends．
B．Chimps have better memories than humans．

14．To many people，video gaming is their hobby．Have you ever been so（56）absorbed（absorb） in a video game as to forget sleep and meals？Computer game （57）designers （design） often create interesting video games to tempt players to keep playing．These days，many employees play video games at work even（58）if/thoughtheir employers have set rules to stop them from doing so．In fact，video game addiction is regarded as harmful，just like addiction（59）todrugs，alcohol，or gambling，and should be treated with care．
In the place（60）wherepeople work，addicted players，often seen as lazy，not sick； their bosses are not sympathetic to their addiction．If they have been caught several times（61）playing （play） video games at work，their salary may be cut，and even （62）worse （bad），they may lose their jobs．In some companies，the addicted players（63）are allowed （allow） to play video games only on stressful days，but their bosses will check their computers from time to time to make sure （64）thatthey are doing their work．However，while some companies continue to find some methods of preventing workday playing，addicted players still have（65）their （they） own ways to enjoy playing video games during working hours．
