    Cambodia was in many ways similar to Laos, although it has twice the population. At another inn, we
talked with a teacher who told us that half of the people in her country couldn"t read or write. Her village
couldn"t even afford to build a school, so she had to teach outside under a large tent. When we said goodbye,
we all felt very lucky to have studied in college. Back on the road, we passed between many hills and forests.
Then we came to the plains and entered Phnom Penh (金边), the capital of Cambodia. In many ways it looked
like Vientiane and Ho Chi Minh City; it also had wide streets with trees in rows and old French houses. Unlike
Vientiane, ships could travel the Mekong River here. In the centre of the city we visited the palace and saw a
beautiful white elephant. It can only be seen outside the palace on special days. We ate an early supper and
went to see a great temple with floors made of silver.
    The next morning our group slept late. We were very tired from the long bike ride the day before. Cycling
in the hills had been difficult. Now our cousins had the chance to make jokes about Wang Wei and me. Perhaps,
they said, they were the strong ones! We had lunch at a nice outdoor cafe. then rode out of the city.
    Two days later we crossed the border into Vietnam. We began to see many more people, but I wasn"t
surprised. I read in an atlas before our trip that Vietnam has almost seven times the population of Cambodia.
We met a farmer who gave us directions and told us that he grows a new rice crop four times every year so
he can feed more people. He also told us that the northern part of his country has many mountains and it is
much cooler than here in the south, where it is flat. Although the flat delta made it easier for us to cycle, we
got warm very quickly. So we drank lots of water and ate lots of bananas. Soon the delta separated into nine
smaller rivers. Two days later, after we had passed thousands of rice fields, we came to the sea. We were
tired but also in high spirits: our dream to cycle along the Mekong River had finally come true.

阅读理解。     The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2 September 1666. In four days it destroyed
more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were made of wood and close together.
Over one hundred 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 into the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from
the bakery into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into 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 (建筑师), 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 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. 1. 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 King"s bakery was burned down 2. 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. 3. How was the fire put out according to the text? [     ]
A. The King and his soldiers came to help.  
B. All the houses made of wood 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. 4. Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?  
    a. There was a strong wind.     
    b. The streets were not wide enough.
    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
