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. 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 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 the mew 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.
From the passage, we can learn that the fire began in ________.
A. a hotel B. the palace C. Pudding Lane D. Thames Street
The underlined word “family” in the second paragraph means ________.
A. wife and husband B. wife and children C. home D. children
It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that ________.
A. many famous buildings were destroyed
B. some people lost their lives
C. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
D. the King’s bakery was burned down
Why did the writer cite (引用) Samuel Pepys?
A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C. Because he wanted to give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.
D. Because he wanted to show that poor people suffered most.
How was the fire put out according to the text?
A. The King and his soldiers came to help.
B. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.
C. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.
D. People managed to get enough water from the river.
