As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, Smith met God and complained about this. “Tell me, God,”he said, “I had such faith in you to save me and you let me drown.

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(面包师)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 i nto 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 was the 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. 64. The fire began in . A. a hotel B. the palace C. Pudding Lane D. Thames Street 65. 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. 66. 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. 67.

(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.

But my clothes stuck to me like a heavy weight. I could hardly stay above the surface. Counsel saw this. “Shall I cut them?” he asked. With a knife he cut my clothes from top to bottom and took them off quickly while I swam for both of us. Then I did the same for Counsel, and we continued to swim near each other. But we were in serious trouble. The crew（船员）might not have noticed our disappearance. And if they had, they could not return because the rudder（舵）had broken. Counsel thought of all this, and calmly made his plans. We decided to wait for the ship as lon g as possible, because we had no other hope of safety. I suggested that we save our strength so that both of us would not be tired out at the same time. This was how we did it: While one of us lay on his back, quite still, with arms crossed and legs stretched out（伸直）, the other would swim and push him along. We changed every ten minutes or so. In this way we could swim for hours, perhaps till daylight. The crash（破裂声）of the ship and the whale（鲸）had appeared at about eleven o’clock. We had about eight hours to swim before daylight. This seemed possible, if the sea remained calm. 72. What happened to the man who told the story? A. He and his companion got into the water to test their strength. B. He jumped into the water to save the broken rudder. C. He was knocked into the water by his enemy. D. He was thrown into the sea when the ship struck a whale. 73. Why did the two men cut their clothes? A. Because no people helped them to take off their clothes. B. Because they couldn’t take off their clothes in the sea. C. Because they wanted to get rid of their clothes quickly. D. Because they wanted to make lifebuoys（救生圈）with their clothes. 74. What does the word “still” in the last paragraph mean? A. not moving B. even C. yet D. however 75. In order to save their strength,______. A. one of them pushed the other while swimming and then they changed B. they both swam calmly C. they crossed their arms and stretched their legs on the water D. they lay on their backs instead of swimming 昆明三中 2010——2011 学年上学期期中考试 高一英语试卷 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共 25 分） 注意事项： 第Ⅱ卷共 2 页，用黑色碳素笔将答案答在试卷上。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分 25 分） 第一节：单句改错(共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分) 此题要求改正所给句子中的错误，并按下列情况改正： 该行多一个词:把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。 该行缺一个词:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。 该行错一个词:在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 This is the first time he had been to Shanghai Expo. 76．__________ The number of people learning English now are increasing rapidly. 77．__________ I find that hard to make friends with them. 78．__________ We’ll reach to Dali in Yunnan Province soon. 79．__________ The weather is getting more colder. 80．__________There is no such a word as failure in my life dictionary. 81．__________ After graduate from college, he got a job in a company. 82．__________ These new settlers enriched English language. 83．__________ No one would believe him again because what he had done. 84．__________ Many people believe the English speaking on TV and the radio is standard English 85．__________ 第二节 书面表达(满分 15 分) 根据下列表格中的内容，写一则旅行日记 时间 9 月 5 日，星期六，天气晴朗 地点 天涯海角 (Ultima Thule) 抵达方式 乘校车 出发时间 上午 7 点 20 分 到达时间 上午 9 点半 活动内容 上午：在沙滩上做游戏，去游泳，在饭店吃午饭 下午：用英语讲故事比赛，颁奖，照相 返回时间 下午 5 点半 注意：1. 表格中所列内容不得遗漏，要意思连贯，表达清楚。 2. 词数：100 左右 昆明三中 2010——2011 学年上学期期中考试 高一英语试卷答案 听力： 1-5 BCCAC 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 BCBBB 16-20 ABBCA 单选： 21-25 BBDCC 26-30 DCBAA 31-35 BCADC 完形: 36-40 BACDD 41-45 BBCAD 46-50 CBCAD 51-55 ABACD 阅读： A 篇: CDBA B 篇: DCCB C 篇: CDDB D 篇: AACC E 篇: DCAA 改错: 76. had→has 77.are→is 78. that→it 79.去掉 to 80. more→much 81.去掉 a 82. graduate→graduating 83.English 前加 the 84.because 后加 of 85.speaking→spoken 参考范文： September 5th Saturday Fine Today we went on an organized trip to Ultima Thule.
