Last week, he said, my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didnt get it back. How did you write your advertisement? asked one of the listeners, a merchant. Here it is, said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street. Now, said the merchant, I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, Ill buy you a new one. The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesnt wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known. This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door.

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 Kings 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 the Thames Street. That was the beginnings. By eight oclock 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 Pauls 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 which was new St Pauls. 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.46. The fire began in _. A. a hotelB. the palace C. Pudding LaneD. Thames Street47. The underlined word family in the second paragraph means “_”. A. home B. children C. wife and husband D. wife and children48. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that _. A. some people lost their lives B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire C. many famous buildings were destroyed D. the Kings bakery was burned down49. Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys? A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire. B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire. C. To show that poor people suffered most D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.50. How was the fire put out according to the text? A. The king and his soldiers came to help. B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed. C. People managed to get enough water from the river. D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.51. Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire? (a) There was a strong wind. (b) The streets were very narrow. (c) Many houses were made of wood. (d) There was not enough water in the city. (e) People did not discover the fire earlier. A. (a) and (b)B. (a), (b) and (c) C. (a), (b), (c) and (d)D. (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)(C) America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A persons age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. Theres no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that keeps us on time and tells us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isnt as strong as it used to be. It doesnt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age. No one says Act your age any more. Weve stopped looking with surprising at older people who act in youthful ways.52. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _. A. has made people feel younger B. has changed peoples social position C. has changed peoples understanding of age D. has slowed down the countrys social development53. The underlined word one refers to _. A. a society B. America C. a placeD. population54. Act your age means people should _. A. be active when they are old B. do the right things at the right age C. show respect for their parents young or old D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age55. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it _. A. normalB. wonderfulC. unbelievableD. unreasonable第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读下列职位广告A.
