听力原文: If a city ever needed tall buildings in a hurry, it was Chicago in the 1880s. Located in the center of America's farmland, with rail links to every coast, it was the natural hub of commerce for the entire continent, and one of the fastest growing cities in the country. The great Chicago Fire of 1871 made the need for tall buildings urgent even before the 1880s. The fire raged for two days and wiped out one-third of all the buildings in the city. The fire was so destructive that when Architect William LeBaron Jenney began work on the Home Insurance Building twelve years later, rebuilding was still underway. According to legend, Jenney was working on his design for the Home Insurance Building one afternoon in1883 when a bird began making so much noise that he couldn't concentrate. He got so angry that he grabbed the heaviest book he could find and pounded furiously on the bird's steel-wire cage to shut it up. The cage could have broken after such abuse, Jenney thought afterwards, but it didn't. It didn't even dent. If steel cages were so strong, he realized, why not make buildings out of steel? Why not build the Home Insurance Building with steel? But in the early 1880s, buildings were still rarely taller than six or seven stories, and it wasn't just because people hated slow elevators or climbing stairs, Bricks, the standard construction materials of the time, were too heavy to build much higher than that. To support a tall structure, the lower walls would have to be so thick that there would be little floor left. Besides, why use so many bricks to add just one floor when the same number of bricks could be used to construct an entire building somewhere else? Steel, on the other hand, is so much lighter and can carry so much more weight than brick that you can build more than 100 floors before you run into the same type of problem.

听力原文: 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. 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 a 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.
Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
