Why was Bastille 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 stopped to be important for defense. Cardinal Richelieu 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 vehicles. Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall. No talking was allowed. Worst of all, a prisoner never 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 King’s letter had become fewer. By the time of its fall, most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions (贪污腐败) of the government. Voltaire, the famous French writer, spent a year there 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, only seven prisoners were found inside. Still, the Bastille was hated by the people. It was a symbol of the King’s complete power. 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

At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed __________ . `A.a large number of prisoners

This passage mainly __________ .A.tells how the prisoners were controlled by the King

第4题

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic foods frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the greater number of written material advancing such claims make it difficult for the general public to sep arate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and form. the basis for folklore.

Almost daily the public is surrounded by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins, and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that crops grown with organic fertilizers are nutritionally superior to chose with chemical fertilizers, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.

One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern ff consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.

The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limit ed incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods be cause ______ .

A．organic goods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown foods

B．many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods

C．conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods

D．too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops

NEW PRODUCT WILL SAVE LIVES

Drinking water that looks clean may still contain bugs, which can cause illness. A small company called Genera Technologies has produced a testing method in three stages, which shows whether water is safe. The new test shows if water needs chemicals added to it to destroy anything harmful. It was invented by scientist Dr Adrian Parton, who started Genera Technology five years ago. He and his employees have developed the test together with a British water company.

Andy Headland, Genera's marketing director, recently presented the test at a conference in the USA and forecasts good American sales for it. Genera has already sold 11 of its tests at ￡42,500 a time in the UK and has a further four on order. It expects to sell another 25 tests before the end of March. The company says it is the only test in the UK to be approved by the government.

Genera was formed five years ago and until October last year had only five employees; it now employs 14. Mr Headland believes the company should make around ￡ 1.9 million by the end of the year in the UK alone.

Genera Technologies produces a product which cleans dirty water.

A．Right

B．Wrong

C．Doesn't say
