The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built by Richard Burbage’s father, James Burbage, in Shoreditch in 1576. The first performance for which a firm record remains was Jonson’s Every Man out of His Humour — with its first scene welcoming the “gracious and kind spectators” — at the end of the year.
On 29th June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical gun, set off during the performance, misfired, burning the wooden beams and straws. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches (炮后膛) were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.
Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642. It was pulled down in 1644, or slightly later — the commonly cited document dating the act to 15 April 1644 has been identified as false — to make room for other buildings.
A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230m) from the site of the original theatre.
1.How did the Globe Theatre begin to be on fire on 29 June 1613?
A.It was set fire to by a performer by design.
B.It caught fire by accident during a play.
C.A man put out breeches with a bottle of ale.
D.It was started by wooden beams and straws.
2.In what order is the text arranged?
A.Time B.Space
C.Importance D.Flashback
3.According to the passage all the plays were performed in the Globe Theatre EXCEPT ________.
A.James Burbage. B.Every Man out of His Humour
C.Henry VIII. D.Henry V
4.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.The popularity of the Globe Theatre. B.The construction of the Globe Theatre.
C.The function of the Globe Theatre. D.The history of the Globe Theatre.

A long time ago, in an Italian city, the people there built a tower which was admired by everyone passing through. A little further down the road, in a neighboring city, they had built a tower of similar beauty. The two towers were equally well known. The people of the second city, envious (妒忌的) and filled with pride, planned to destroy the neighboring tower so it wouldn’t take attention away from their own. One night, they came to the tower and began to quietly undermine its foundations(地基).
The next morning, the tower was leaning(倾斜) slightly ,but nobody noticed. The same happened for the following few days, until a little girl who was passing by pointed up at the tower and said: “ I think the tower is going to fall down.” And everyone around looked closely, and could see that she was right .Nervousness spread through the city. And they tried many methods to try to straighten the tower, but nothing seemed to work. That was, until one day when the same little girl was walking up again, and she put her arm on the side of the tower to rest. She felt the tower shaking slightly. When she took her hand off it, the movement stopped. And when she put it back on again, the same thing happened. The girl spent a while doing this, until she was completely certain of what she had discovered: “ The tower is ticklish ( 怕痒的) ！” She ran to get some plants, and she planted them right next to the tower. Now if the tower leant over any further it would be tickled by the leaves of those plants. Being a ticklish tower, it would then return to where it had been. In this way, the girl managed to make sure that the tower didn’t fall down, but still kept it leaning a little.
The fact that it was leaning made it even more famous, and this taught a fine lesson to the envious people of the neighboring city.
1.Why did the people of the second city plan to destroy the neighboring tower?
| A．Because the tower blocked the way of their tourists. |
| B．Because the tower had the same building style as theirs. |
| C．Because they hoped that the tower could lean slightly. |
| D．Because they hoped that visitors just liked their own tower. |
2.The underlined word“undermine”（in Paragraph1）probably mean “_________”．
| A．test | B．raise | C．damage | D．strengthen |
3.When local people heard the news that their tower was going to fall down, they were _________.
| A．very anxious |
| B．very happy |
| C．very ashamed of themselves |
| D．angry at the people in the neighboring city |
4.What lesson can we learn from the practice of the envious people in the neighboring city?
| A．All that ends well is well. |
| B．Every dog has his day. |
| C．A bad beginning makes a bad ending. |
| D．A friend is never known till a man has need. |
