23、Ryan Finley is a sketch card artist for Topps and an art teacher at Beck Center, Ohio. Ryan and his 10-year-old daughter, Keira, recently showed their artistic gifts at a Beck Center exhibit. “Side by Side: The Art of Ryan and Keira Finley” includes the pair’s artistic expression of the same things.

I first met the Finleys when I was a student in Ryan’s class. Keira, now a fourth grader, has been creating art since she was a young child. “She was always next to me, lying on the ground drawing, ” Ryan remembered.

Keira’s love for art continued, and she became a student in Ryan’s class at Beck Center. Keira said, “The best part of ‘Side by Side, was having friends and classmates come to see the exhibit. I loved walking around with my dad and talking to everybody.”

Keira told local news media that she’d love art even if her dad had a different job. “If my dad wasn’t an artist,” she said, “I’d still probably be doing this.”

Ryan’s interest in art also began in childhood. “I’d always be drawing when I wasn’t supposed to be,” he said. “I’d get notes all the time saying, ‘You need to focus more on your work.’”

That interest never left him. “In high school, I took every art class you could possibly take,’’ he said. When asked what he liked best about his job, Ryan was quite certain. “Surely the art show I just had with Keira?” he said. “It’s hard to even put into words. It’s pretty touching.”

Ryan also loves working with students. “I do my best to make sure that they’re having fun with what they’re doing,” he said. “My favorite part is seeing the growth of students.”

【1】What do we know about the Beck Center exhibit?

A．It received a lot of support from families.

B．It was mainly open to primary school students.

C．It showed the works of a father and a daughter.

24、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 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 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 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 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. many famous buildings were destroyed

B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire

C. some people lost their lives

D. the King's bakery was burned down

【2】Why did the writer cite (引用)Samuel Pepys’ words?

A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.

B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.

C. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.

D. To show that poor people suffered most.

【3】How was the fire put out according to the text?

A. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.

B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.

C. People managed to get enough water from the river.

D. The king and his soldiers came to help.

【4】Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread (扩散)of the big fire?

(a) There was a strong wind.

(b) The streets were very narrow.
