听力原文： Now about the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Gallad House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building but fire fighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time and they were carried out to safety. The Galled House was built in 1718 and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782. The Galled family owned the building until the 1930s. Then they sold it to the Muss family. Five years ago it was made into a building for the elderly. Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked Fire Chief Andrew Bond how the fire started, he answered that it was most likely a burning cigarette caused it. Chief Bond promised to further examine into the cause.
Where did the fire probably start？
A．On the first floor．
B．On the second floor．
C．On the third floor.
听力原文： The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of September 2nd, 1666. 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 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.
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.

听力原文：W: Hey, Mike! Did you attend Mr. Johnson's seminar on the History of Chicago？
M: Yes, I did. I didn't notice you were there, too.
W: I was late for it. Wasn't it a great seminar？ I have learned so much!
M: It certainly was. I hadn't understood that Chicago was such a young city, less than 200 years old.
W: Yes, I thought it was an old city before, but it turned out that I was wrong. You still remember what Mr. Johnson said？ The army fort, Fort Dearborn, was built in 1803 in the place that would become Chicago. Chicago didn't officially become a town until 30 years later, in 1833.
M: Yes, and when it officially became a town in 1833, it was very small. It had a population of only 350. Think about that, only 350 people! It was really a tiny town by then.
W: But it's a pity that after Chicago had grown, much of it was destroyed in a fire. Just imagine! What a big fire it was!
M: The Great Chicago Fire was in 1871. Chicago wasn't even forty years old at the time, but it had grown much bigger.
W: Yet only twenty-two years later, in 1893, Chicago was able to host a World's Fair. It was such a huge development for a city.
M: Yes. Chicago had been rebuilt after the fire and was eager to show itself off to the rest of the world at the World's Fair in 1893.
W: I will attend another seminar on the Economy of Chicago next week. Mr. Johnson will talk about the economy specifically. Will you be there too？
M: Yes, so I will see you next Thursday.

听力原文： London in the 17th century was very attractive, like many European cities of the time. There was a beautiful cathedral, St. Paul's, and a magnificent Town Hall, the Guildhall. Also, there were many attractive churches and important buildings. There was one large bridge across the River Thames, and on the south side of the river there were one or two theatres, including Shakespeare's theatre, the Globe.
However, the majority of the half a million inhabitants of the city lived in small houses in narrow, dirty streets. There were no drains, so people threw their dirty water and rubbish onto the street. Because of this, there was a strong smell and there were many rats and flies. In 1665, there was a great plague in the city of London. At least 70,000 people died and many others left London and went into the country for several months. Then slowly the plague died away and people started to return from the country.
On September 2, 1666 at about three o'clock in the morning, a fire suddenly started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane. There was a strong wind and the fire spread quickly from one street to the next. The fire lasted for three days and destroyed 13,200 homes and 88 churches, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Guildhall and many other important buildings. This was the end of the old city of London.

A．Near Town Hall.

It's taken eight years to rebuild Venice's opera house, the interior of which was completely destroyed while La Fenice was closed for repairs in a blaze which raged all night at end of January 1996. A court later sentenced two electricians to prison on charges of arson. A glittering gathering of celebrities and politicians at- tended the first opera performance in the reconstructed theatre.
The opera house was handed over by the builders nearly a year ago, but it's taken many months to install new stage machinery and to ac0ust the acoustics. Every detail of the original eighteenth-century building has been faithfully reproduced and state-of-the-art sprinkler fire protection and an underground freshwater reservoir
have been installed to stave off any future disaster.
A seat in the stalls or in one of the elaborate boxes surrounding the horseshoe-shaped auditorium now costs nearly & 700. But relatively few members of the first night VIP audience had paid for their tickets. Hundreds of tourists are now visiting the theatre each day, paying just over ten pounds to see the empty opera house.
Which of the following did NOT happen to the opera house？
A．It caught on*fire in January 1996.
B．Two. electricians Were sent to prison because of the accident.
C．The theatre was reconstructed.
D．The theater hasn't been put into use yet.
