AThe 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. 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 (面包师) in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window into 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 hund red 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 manywell-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 the n ew St Paul’sThe 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.26.

We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺设). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers to be very polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult, so we picnicked almost every day.The following day after our arrival was Turkey’s Children’s Day, started by MustafaKemal Ataturk. Ataturk loved children and he often said: ―Children are a new beginning of tomorrow.‖ He even dedicated (奉献) the day 23rd of April to the children which today is celebrated as Children’s Day as well as the date when the Republic of Turkey was founded.On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day. He can decid e what’s going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president next to him. There are a very large number of possibilities of things he can do but some shops aren’t open because they are celebrating the day as well.All in all, it was a more enjoyable trip.

Is the wine fruity? Does it smell like oak? Do you smell grass or maybe honey? Maybe the smell is like butter or a mineral．It may be complex or intense．Now it is time to taste the wine．Move it around in your mouth．You may recognize some tastes because you identify them while smelling the wine．You can also consider the wine's sweetness and its sharpness, or acidity．You may note the taste of tannin．Tannins are chemicals that are found in the skin and seeds of grapes．They are also found in tea．Tannins taste bitter and seem to coat your mouth．To make a good wine requires a balance between sugar, acidity, tannin and alcohol．Many wine experts can identify the kind of wine without ever seeing the label on the bottle．This is because they know the qualities of the look, smell and taste of a wine．36．According to the passage, a red wine with a lighter color might be the wine ___________ A．that has a lower amount of acid．B．that is grown in cooler climates．C．that is not good wine．D．that is grown in warmer climates．37．By looking at the color of the wine, experts ___________A．can know whether the wine tastes good or not．B．can know whether the wine is made from grapes．C．can know whether the wine has a long or short history．D．can know whether the wine has a good color．38．Paragraph 5 suggests the followings except that ____________．A．A wine can have different kinds of smells．B．A wine’s smell can’t give any meaningful information about the wine．C．You can’t smell the wine properly if you don’t turn the glass．D．A wine might not smell like wine．39．In tasting wine, one needs to pay attention to ___________A．how sweet it tastes．B．how sharp it tastes．C．how bitter it tastes．D．all of the above．40．How many senses are involved in studying a glass of wine according to the passage? A．One B．Two C．Three D．FourDA child's birthday party should be one of the most fun events of the year, for the birthday child, the guests and even for the hosts．The three keys to a successful child's birthday party is planning, more planning, and even more planning．Kid's birthday party games are important ingredients of every party and must be thought out and arranged in advance．Luckily, there is no shortage of fun and interesting games to keep kids busy and happy, so it is not difficult to come up with more than enough ideas．It is important to remember that children have a far shorter attention span(长度) than adults．For that reason, the host should not expect that one or two activities will keep the guests entertained for a long period of time．Plan a lot of short, fun games that will satisfy their needs．Make sure that the games are age appropriate: ―duck duck goose‖ will keep little ones happy for a while, but certainly will not work for pre-teens．―Scavenger or treasure hunts‖ are great kid's birthday party games for any age –just make sure that it’s neither too difficult nor too simple．Be sure to have enough ideas in mind so that it is possible to "throw away" an activity that is not going well．Kid's birthday party games should be simple and fun．If a game is started and no one seems to be having any fun, simply end that activity and start another．Kids like changes and will not mind a bit．If the party is held indoors, it is a good idea to clear a room of breakables and make that room the game headquarters．For outdoor parties, make sure that the play area is free from potential dangers and that the games do not involve tree climbing or other activities that are likely to cause injury．Finally, remember to have prizes and treats on hand to reward the players．Prizes do not need to be large or expensive．Kid's birthday party games are about teamwork, not rewards．Be sure to have prizes not only for the winners of the games, but for every child in attendance, so that each child goes home with some fun memento of the party and the time spent with friends．41．What is/ are the most important thing(s) for a successful child’s birthday party according to the passage?A．Planning．B．Games．C．Food and drinks D．Prizes．42．Many games should be planned for a child’s birthday party because _______________．A．the party will be held for a long time．B．there will be many guests．C．children can’t focus on one thing for too long．D．adults will enjoy the games, too．43．When children seem to get bored with a game, parents should _________．A．encourage them to carry on．B．show them how to enjoy it．C．make the game more difficult．D．start another game．44．What does the underl ined word ―memento‖ in the last paragraph most probably mean?A．moment B．memory C．prizes D．games45．We can infer from the passage that _______________．A．If not rightly planned, a child’s birthday party can be boring to children．B．Children will enjoy a birthday party anyway．C．Children who like playing ―Scavenger hunt‖ will also enjoy ―Duck duck goose‖．D．It would be better to play indoors than outdoors, because outdoor parties can be dangerous．第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
