  Why was the Bastille (巴士底狱) important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V. By the seventeenth century it had ceased (停止) to be important for defence. Cardinal Richlien turned it into a prison. It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes. Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King. The Bastille’s workings were secret. Prisoners were taken to it in closed carriages. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner hardly knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever: Only the king's letter could set him free.

  Over the years the number of arrests by the King’s letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corrupt (贪污腐败的) deeds of the government. Voltaire (伏尔泰) , the famous French writer, spent a year in 1717-1718 , and another 12 days in 1726.

  For those who believed in free speech and free thinking, the Bastille stood for everything evil. The day it was captured, the “Conquerors” (征服者) of the Bastille found only seven prisoners inside. None the less , the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King’s complete power.

1.The Bastille had been a prison ________.

[  ]

A.since the time of Charles V

B.since 1370

C.before the seventeenth century

D.since the time of Cardinal Richelieu

2.According to the passage , which of the following statements is NOT true?

3.At the time of its fall, in the Bastille there were________.

[  ]

A.a large number of prisoners

B.a lot of writers who had been against the government

C.some dozens of people who believed in free speech

D.only seven prisoners

4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A.All prisoners in the Bastille suffered life imprisonment.

阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。

  When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.

  Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?

  Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life , ” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside , she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救护车) to her rescue.

  Point 3 The mobile removes our secrets. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch , Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, any how their last meeting went.

  Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says , “ We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”

  Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同时地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can use the Internet, the biggest library on the Earth.

1.What does the writer mean by saying “The telephone creates the need to communicate”?

[  ]

A.People don’t communicate without telephone.

B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.

C.People have communicated more since the telephone was created.

D.People communicate more because of more traffic.

2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?

[  ]

A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.

B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well as no secret to people.

C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.

D.Mobile phones encourage people to waste time in chatting.

3.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?

a. Point 1. b. Point 2. c. Point 3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.

[  ]

A.c, d
B.a, a
C.a, c
D.b, e

4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously

[  ]

A.on the TV screen

B.with a computer

C.on chat lines

D.by telephone

5.The best title for the passage is

[  ]

A.Views on Telephones

B.Kinds of Phone

C.How to Use Phones

D.Advantages of Phones
