Passage Three
For some time after the Spanish won Granada from the Moors, Spanish kings enjoyed visiting that delightful city. After many years, however, they were frightened away by a series of earthquakes, during which several houses fell to the ground, and the old towers shook to their foundations.
After that, many years passed without visits from royal guests. The noble palaces of Granada remained silent and closed, and that loveliest of palaces, the Alhambra, lay sadly alone with no one to care for its beautiful gardens. People no longer visited the tower where once three beautiful Moorish princesses had lived. Only birds and insects found their way to those tower rooms which had once been the home of the king's lovely daughters. Zayda, Zorayda, and Zorahayda. It was said that the spirit of the youthful princess Zorahayda, who had died in that tower, was often seen by moonlight, seated beside the fountain in the hall, or weeping beside the high stone wall. It was said that the music of her silver lute could be heard at midnight by travelers passing along the road.
After many years, the city of Granada was honored once again by royal guests. All the world knows that
King Philip V married Elizabeth or Isabella (for they are the same), the beautiful princess of Parma. For a visit of his famous couple, the Alhambra palace was repaired and made ready, with all possible speed, when the king and queen arrived with all the lords and ladies of their court, there was a great change in the lonely palace. Drums and roy- al music were heard, fine horses were ridden about the avenues and inner court, brightly colored flags again were flown above the ancient walls. Inside the palace, however, life was quiet and calm. There was the soft sound of long robes, and the careful steps and murmuring voices of those who respectfully served the king and queen. In the gardens there was soft music, and there was quiet talk among the young lords and ladies of the court.
44. According to the passage, which is not true during the earthquake?
A. Several houses fell to the ground.
B. The old tower shook to their foundations.
C. Spanish kings were frightened away.
D. Spanish won Granada.
Although a man of blood and violence, Richard was too impetuous to be either treacherous on habitually cruel. He was as ready to forgive as he was hasty to offend; he was open-handed and munificent to profusion in war circumspect in design and skilful in execution; in political a child, lacking in subtlety and experience. His political alliances were formed upon his likes and dislikes; his political schemes had neither unity nor clearness of purpose. The advantages gained for him by military geoids were flung away through diplomatic ineptitude. When, on the journey to the East, Messina in Sicily was won by his arms he was easily persuaded to share with his polished, faithless ally, Philip Augustus, fruits of a victory which more wisely used might have foiled the French King's artful schemes. The rich and tenable acquisition of Cyprus was cast away even more easily than it was won. His life was one magnificent parade, which, when ended, left only an empty plain.
In 1199, when the difficulties of raising revenue for the endless war were at their height, good news was brought to King Richard. It was said there had been dug up near the castle of Chaluz, on the lands of one of his French vassals, a treasure of wonderful quality; a group of golden images of an emperor, his wife, sons and daughters, seated round a table, also of gold, had been unearthed. The King claimed this treasure as lord paramount. The lord of Chaluz resisted the demand, and the King laid siege to his small, weak castle. On the third day, as he rode daringly, near the wall, confident in his hard-tried luck, a bolt from a crossbow struck him in the left shoulder by the neck. The wound, already deep, was aggravated by the necessary cutting out of the arrow-head. Gangrene set in, and Coeur de Lion knew that he must pay a soldier's debt. He prepared for death with fortitude and calm, and in accordance with the principles he had followed. He arranged his affairs; he divided his personal belongings among his friends or bequeathed them to charity. He declared John to be his heir, and made all present swear fealty to him. He ordered the archer who had shot the fatal bolt, and who was now a prisoner, to be brought before him. He pardoned him, and made him a gift of money. For seven years he had not confessed for fear of being compelled to be reconciled to Philip, but now he received the offices of the Church with sincere and exemplary piety, and died in the forty-second year of his age on April 6,1199, worthy, by the consent of all men, to sit with King Arthur and Roland and other heroes
