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 was 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.‎ ‎24.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that__________.‎ A.

I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.‎ At first,I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children,we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structure, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.‎ The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this did not work well. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of ‎ that chapter, highlight the new words and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context. Additionally, a lot of children’s books pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.‎ If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child. I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner. However, if you feel a bit more confident reading in English, I would personally recommend the series of ‘ books by J.K. Rowling or any of the Road Dahl children’s books.‎ 28. What makes it hard for the author to learn German?‎ A. The author had a poor memory. B. the author had no interest in it.‎ C The author had no one to ask for help D The author couldn’t read books fluently 29. What did the author think of reading children’s books in the target language at first?‎ A. Interesting B. Stupid. C. Helpful D. Boring 30. What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3?‎ A. How to choose a proper book to match your level.‎ B. why it is helpful to read children’s books at first C. How to deal with new words while reading ‎ D. How to form the habit of reading in the target language.‎ 31. Why does the author write this text?‎ A. To give tips on how to learn a new language B. To persuade the readers to learn a new language C. To stress the importance of reading in language learning D. To share the author’s suffering of learning a new language D.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ As most of you know, I don’t like running. I never go jogging, and I wouldn’t run a marathon even if I was paid for it. One thing that would make me run for my life would be if there were several hundred bulls running after me.‎ That’s exactly what people from all over the world are coming here to do tomorrow. I’m at the annual San Fermin Fiesta in Pamplona, Spain. This festival began in the Middle Ages, and has grown in popularity ever since. It lasts for a week in July, when the city is changed into an ocean of red and white, the official colors of the festival.‎ Before the bullring (斗牛场）was built, bull fights were held in a large square in the city. The custom of running ahead of the bulls started when the bulls had to be moved from the outskirts（市郊）of the city to the bullring. Some of the customs have changed over the years, but certain things are still the same.‎ Anyone who wants to take part in the run has to enter the special area by 7:30 am. The gates are then closed, and they won’t be opened to let you leave after that. At just before 8:00 am, the runners ask the statue of San fermin to protect them. At eight o’clock, two fireworks are fired. With the first firework , the gates of the bull enclosure（围场）are opened, and with the second, the bulls are set free to run. They run after the runners down the length of the bull run, which is about 800 meters. The whole thing lasts about two minutes.‎ It sounds easier than it is. You can’t just run straight ahead. The route goes up and down narrow streets, with few places for runners to hide except doorways of buildings. The end of the run, just before the bulls enter the ring, is one of the most dangerous places. People running with the bulls have fallen here, and have been injured.‎ Don’t worry if you’re reading this, Mom. No one under the age of 18 is allowed to take part. I’ll be watching from the safety of the balcony!‎ 32. What do we know about the San Fermin Fiesta?‎ A.It is attended only by locals. B.Some of its traditions have survived.‎ C.Bull fights have been held in the same place. D.It lasts seven days in June.‎ ‎33.What can we learn about the race?‎ A.There are many places to hide from the bulls. B.The race lasts more than thirty minutes.‎ C.Runners are no allowed to change their mind. D.The race gets easier toward the end.‎ ‎34.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A.To introduce an ancient festival. B.To tell his mother about his travels.‎ C.To advertise a coming event. D.To share his personal experience.‎ ‎35.What kind of text is this?‎ A.An email. B.A newspaper ad. C.A magazine article. D.A blog.‎ 第二节. (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.‎ Today, we drive safer cars on safer roads, but most car accidents are the result of human error. _____36_____ So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving. Here are four driving tips that will help bring you and your passengers home unharmed.‎ 1. ‎ Practice defensive driving. ‎ Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding. _____37______ Accept small delays, such as staying in line behind a slower car instead of suddenly changing lanes 2. ‎____38_______ ‎ Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how safely you drive. You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else may crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected. _____39______ And it pays to be ready when you do.‎ 3. Don’t follow too closely.‎ Drivers need enough time to react if the car in front makes a sudden turn or stop. It can be too difficult for drivers to judge the proper distances while driving and the exact distance is adjusted by speed, so most experts suggest a “ three-second rule”‎ 4. Be more careful in bad weather. ‎ ‎_____40_________ Drive below the speed limit if necessary, keep extra space between you and the car ahead, and be especially careful around curves. If the weather worsens, just find a sage place to wait out the storm.‎ A. Wear your safety belt.‎ B. Watch out for other drivers.‎ C. Chances are that you’ll eventually meet someone foolish.‎ D. The best way to reduce accidents is to practice safe driving behaviors.‎ A. If you’re driving through fog, heavy rain or on icy roads, be extra careful.‎ B. If a driver is tired enough to fall asleep while driving, the results are terrible.‎ C. Remaining calm in the face of annoying traffic is another major part of the idea.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ On Thursday morning, two teenage boys were saved by a drone (无人机） in Australia while lifeguards were still training to use the machine.‎ The 41 , aged 15-17, got into difficulties about 700 feet off the coast of Lennox Head, New South Wales (NSW).
