A

It was my birthday so my wife, my brother and my child treated ourselves to dinner in a restaurant that we had never been to before. As we walked back to our car, a very thin man went to my brother saying he hadn’t eaten for the whole day and asking for money. Usually, my wife and I treat such requests with suspicion, but my brother took a different attitude and he started talking with the man.

The man said he was a singer and had come to Dubai from Pakistan to find work. His visa (签证) was going to the deadline after three or four days. He had no friends here, couldn’t find a singing job, and was surviving hand to mouth. He had a return ticket that had to be confirmed. To do this he needed 70 Dirhams (迪拉姆(货币名称)).

My brother gave him 20 Dirhams for food and asked the man to give him a call from the airline’s ticket office the next day. He also gave the man a travel card for the Dubai subway. Later, I found out that my brother went to the ticket office the next day and had this man’s ticket confirmed. There were some extra fees, plus the man’s 300 Dirhams of rent to be paid. Having done all that my brother then helped the man get some chocolates and gifts to take back home to his family.

The man was so touched. He kept in touch and even called my brother from Pakistan later, thanking him for all his help.

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus

The Mausoleum of Halicarnassus (摩索拉斯陵墓) was so beautiful and unique that it became one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the world! In 377 B.C., the city of Halicarnassus was the capital of a small kingdom along the Mediterranean coast of Asia Minor. It was that year that Hecatomnus of Mylasa, died and left his kingdom to his son Mausolus. Mausolus in his life extended the territory (领土) even further so that it finally included most of Asia Minor. Mausolus, with his queen Artimisia, ruled over Halicarnassus and the surrounding territory. Mausolus spoke Greek and admired the Greek government and their lifestyle. In 353 B.C., Mausolus died.

In honor of him, Artimisia decided to build a splendid tomb for him. Artimisia then decided that no money was to be spared in building the tomb. She sent messengers to Greece to find the most talented artists of their time. The man who supervised the building of the tomb was Scopas. Other famous artists who helped were Braxis, Leochares and Timotheus. The tomb was built on a hill overlooking the whole city.

Soon after the construction of the tomb started, the Rhodians, who had been conquered by Mausolus, heard of Mausolus’s death and sent a fleet of ships to capture the city of Halicarnassus. Artimisia hid a fleet of her own ships at a secret location on the east end of the city’s harbor. After the troops from Rhodes got off the ship, Artimisia’s fleet made a surprise raid, and captured the Rhodians fleet.

The Great Fire of London of September 1666 was one of the most famous incidents in England. It was the second tragedy to hit the city in the space of 12 months. Just as the city was recovering from the Great Plague (大瘟疫), people had to flee the city once again — this time not as a result of a disease, but the result of the human accident.

The fire started in a baker’s shop owned by Thomas Farriner — who was the king’s baker. His maid failed to put out the ovens at the end of the night. The heat created by the ovens caused sparks to ignite (点燃) the wooden home of Farriner. In a panic, the maid tried to climb out of the building but failed. She was one of the few victims of the fire. Once it started, the fire spread quickly. The city was basically made out of wood and with September following on from the summer, the city was very dry. Strong winds fanned the flames.

The heat created by the fire was so great that the lead roof on the old St Paul’s Cathedral melted. Many saw the lead flowing down to the streets. It was said that many pigeons lost their lives as they refused to leave their nests and their wing feathers got burned. But the actual human casualty rate was remarkably small with possibly only 5 people dying in this fire.

The Great Fire had burned down 84 churches and the old St Paul’s. However, it had also destroyed the filthy (脏的) streets associated the Great Plague. In this sense, the fire did London a favour and it was now up to the city’s authority to re-plan and re-build the city.

48. What do we know about London when the Great Fire of London broke out?

A. It had been hit by a terrible disease 12 months earlier.

B. Most people had left the city.

C. Many people had lost their homes in the accident.

D. The Great Plague was still spreading in the city.

49. The fire started because        .

A. the maid burned the wooden house on purpose

B. something was wrong with the ovens

C. the wind blew the flames out of the ovens

D. the maid of the baker didn’t put out the ovens

50. Which of the following is NOT a reason why the fire spread quickly?

A. The city was basically made out of wood.

B. The buildings in the city were close to each other.

C. There was a strong wind.

D. The city was very dry.

四、任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

注意：每空格1个单词。

Hearing problems is one of the consequences of growing old. Research suggests people can improve their hearing ability naturally.

The first thing we need to carry out is to avoid staying in a noisy environment. Exposing ears to noise is harmful to the eardrum. So, if you’re serious about maintaining your hearing ability, keep a safe distance from the noise. Wearing hearing protection devices in an environment where noise levels are high is another approach to preventing hearing loss. Frequent usage of headphones to hear music also has to be avoided to protect the eardrums.

Buildup of earwax(耳垢) is one of the most common reasons of hearing loss in people of all ages. It’s observed that people tend to ignore ear health and often avoid cleaning the ear. As a result, earwax gets more and more overtime and blocks our ability to hear properly. Actually, one can always get rid of the earwax naturally with some home treatments like the use of olive oil. However, get the consent of a qualified ear specialist before trying any of the home remedies.

In addition, people also can do some simple exercises to increase the hearing ability noticeably. For example, you can exercise to improve your ear’s ability to filter(过滤) noise and hear only the desired one. To start with, switch on the radio and play your favorite music station at moderate volume consistently. At the same time, strike a conversation on any topic with your friend. The music from the radio can be distracting, but make sure you and your friend don’t talk loudly. Now, take another radio and turn it on with a different music station. This will act as a second noise source. Continue talking with your friend in the same manner as mentioned above. You can include as many radios as you want depending upon your comfort level. Considering the music coming from different radios, you may find it difficult to talk at first. However, finally your ears will become used to the surrounding environment and you’ll be able to grasp what is to be heard.

For another example, you also can do source location exercise to increase your hearing power. For this exercise, it’s necessary to have a noise producing device like a horn. You can practice this exercise outdoors in an open environment. Let your friend hold the horn and you stand at the center of the place. Close your eyes and let your friend stand at least 5 meters away from you. Now, tell your friend to gently honk(按) the horn twice or three times gently. As soon as your friend honks, you must point out where he/she is standing.

Remember that improving hearing loss naturally comes into picture only when the cause is related to age or noise. For an ear injury that causes hearing loss, one has to consult a doctor to improve the sense of sound.
