7.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 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 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,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.

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,文章向读者详细描述了伦敦火灾的情况.
解答 28.C 推理判断题.文章总提及没有很多人在火灾中死亡,故A错误.Birds fell out of the air because of the heat."说明这些小鸟是被热量熏死了的,而不是被烧死的.B错误.在第二段第一行中也没有说作者为the King's bakery的被烧掉而遗憾,根据文章第三段最后一句.The fire destroyed many well-known buildings,old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.说明很多著名的建筑物被烧掉了,作者为此感到遗憾,故选C.
29.D 推理判断题.根据文章第四段"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."可知作者引用Samuel Pepys的话是向读者描述了火灾发生的情景.故选D.
30.D 细节理解题.根据文章第五段The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path(路径) of the fire.可知着火旁边的房子被拆除,因此火被扑灭了,故选D.
31.B 细节理解题,根据第一段In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city,where most of the houses were wooden and close together.可知这些房子都紧靠在一起,都是木制的,第二段A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery into a small hotel next door.可知风很大,因此会发生火灾,故选B.
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
