　　The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2 th, 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(面包师) 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(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 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.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　The decision of the New York philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment．For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a classical-music critic．

　　One of the reason why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known．Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert's appointment in the Times, calls him “an musician with no air of the formidable(令人敬畏的)conductor about him．” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has so far been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise．

　　For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one．To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music．All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or open my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes．

　　Devoted concertgoers who reply that recording are no substitute for live performance are missing the point．For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists(演奏家) must compete not only with opera houses, dance groups , theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20 th century．Their recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today's choosing．The widespread availability of such recording has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert．

　　One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on records．Gilbert's own interest in new music has been widely noted：Alex Ross , a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more energetic organization”．But what will be the nature of that difference? Merely, expanding the orchestra's repertoire(曲目)will not be enough．If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America's oldest orchestra and the new audience it hopes to attract．

(1)

We learn from Para 1 that Gilbert's appointment has ________．

[　　]

A．

met with criticism

B．

received applause

C．

raised suspicion

D．

aroused curiosity

(2)

The author believes that the devoted concertgoers ________．

[　　]

A．

reject most kinds of recorded performance

B．

fail to recognize the variety of live performance

C．

overestimate(高估)the variety of live performance

D．

ignore the expense of live performance

(3)

According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?

[　　]

A．

They are often inferior to live concerts in quality

B．

They are easily accessible to the general public

C．

They help improve the quality of music

D．

They have only covered masterpieces

(4)

Regarding Gilbert's role in revitalizing( 振兴) the Philharmonic, the author feels ________

[　　]

A．

enthusiastic

B．

confident

C．

puzzled

D．

doubtful

Crystal, one of my classmates, came into my class last year．Honestly, she was unfavorably impressed (给……留下印象) on me in the beginning．She was short and had fairly dark skin．She was just sitting in front of me．She didn’t say much, and yet I almost always saw smiles on her face every day．I hardly spoke to her for about one week since she joined us．Anyone else in my class didn’t, either, but it seemed that she never paid attention to this．She always smiled at everyone．

And the rain is heavy now．You’d better wait a second, otherwise you’ll get drenched to the skin,” she said and gave her face a wipe ．I stood up beside the desk and couldn’t say anything at that moment．I was very uneasy．“Th-th-thank you,” I said after some minutes．She gave me a bright smile．
