The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening，getting ready for the next day, and while they were busy working, they saw the bright colour of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning，it had become so bright that one of the servants，Jane, woke Peter up to see it. Peter went to the window to watch it. It seemed far away，so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it seemed that the fire had gone out, though he could still see some fire.So he began to tidy his room. While he was doing this，Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one; three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Peter went out to see for himself.He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Peter could see that it was indeed a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The officer of the Tower told him that the fire had started in the baker shop in Pudding Lane. The baker's house had caught fire from the hot oven and then the fire quickly moved to the other houses in the narrow lane. So began the Great Fire of London，a fire that went on for nearly five days，which destroyed most of the old city.第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的4个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。A(2014·湖北)London's newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a fivestar hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city. 文章大意：本文介绍了伦敦最新的摩天大楼碎片。介绍了其设计理念，未来用途以及批评家们对它提出的批判。21London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of _.Aits cost Bits sizeCits shape Dits height答案：C细节理解题。由文章第二段信息So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard.可知，伦敦最新的摩天大楼因此形状(shape)而得名Shard，故C项正确。 22When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to _.Achange London's skylineBinherit London's tradition Cimitate the Egyptian styleDattract potential visitors答案：B细节理解题。由文章第二段信息Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.可知，碎片这种尖顶的形状是伦敦传统的很重要的一部分，这个形状使他想起伦敦教堂的尖顶，或者是泰晤士河上船的高高的桅杆，即：这样设计的目的会是为了继承伦敦的传统，故B项正确。23The critics who refer to social division think the Shard _.Ais only preferred by the richBis intended for wealthy peopleCis far away from the poor areaDis popular only with Londoners答案：B推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段内容可知，另外的批评家说碎片表明了伦敦正变得更加不平等，因为只有富人才能买得起昂贵得私人公寓和待在这样的5星级旅馆里。碎片就是贫富分化的标志，由此推知B项正确。24Which would be the best title for the passage?AThe Shard: Cheers and ClapsBThe Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectCThe Shard: New Symbol of London?DThe Shard: A Change for the Better?答案：D本文主要介绍了伦敦最新的摩天大楼碎片，它的设计初衷，以及批评家提出的一些观点。特别是文章第一段的最后一句话However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.给了很好的提示，故D项正确。BA MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth. Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the program's founder, said: “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth. For example, we've secured internships (实习) with worldfamous firms such as Honda.”“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛)The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop, it was amazing，” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.
