解析:A [考查细节理解题。根据Classical Provence部分中的“We will visit some of the bestpreserved Roman monuments”和Southern Spain部分中的“we explore historical monuments and architecture”可知游客在普罗旺斯和西班牙南部都可以看到历史纪念碑,故A项正确。]
2.Which country is Prof.Thorp most knowledgeable about?
A.France. B.Spain.
C.China. D.Tunisia.

Although fires are still a danger in every major city today, they were a much more serious problem in earlier centuries.The Great Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause.Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.
In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned for several days, destroying most of the central district of the city.The disaster caused a huge amount of damage— around seventy thousand people lost their homes.At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city.There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods.Unfortunately, the government didn't record the deaths of poor people in those early times.
When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) that broke out in 1665.London's housing troubles were a major cause of the problem.At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings.This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home.In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage.Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas (跳蚤)—the carriers of the plague.Once people caught the plague from fleabites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district.It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.
Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings.It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague.After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas.Whenever possible, they used brick or stone.Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter.Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.
[语篇解读] 文章以伦敦大火为例,讲述了过去火灾的状况比现在要严重的多。
4.What can be learned about fires in the past according to the passage?
A.They mainly happened in large cities.
B.They always had some positive effects.
C.They caused small amounts of damage.
D.They were more dangerous than fires today.
解析:D [考查细节理解。由第一段的第一句可知,虽然火灾现在依然是每一个大城市的威胁,但是在几个世纪前,火灾是更加严重的问题,即过去的火灾比现在的火灾更加危险。]
5.Why are there no accurate death records of the Great Fire?
A.The numbers were beyond counting.
B.The government intended to hide the facts.
C.The records were destroyed in another fire.
D.The deaths of poor people were unrecorded.
解析:D [考查细节理解。由第二段中的“There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire...the government didn't record the deaths of poor people in those early times”可知,关于在1666年伦敦大火中有多少人丧生并没有准确的记录,因为政府没有记录有多少穷人死亡。]
6.What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Ancient. B.Crowded.
C.Damaged. D.Popular.
解析:B [考查词义猜测。由第三段中的“much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings”以及“the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets”可知,伦敦的大部分中心城区是拥挤的。由此推断,cramped意为“狭窄的;拥挤的”。故B项符合题意。]
7.Why did the government rebuild the city with brick or stone after the fire?
A.To reduce building costs.
B.To make houses stronger.
C.To keep fleas out of the city.
D.To stop the plague spreading.
解析:B [考查细节理解。由最后一段中的“the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter”可知,政府用砖或石头来重建被烧毁的地区是为了把房子建得更坚固。 ]
