根据下面资料,回答题
Pepys and his wife Jane had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd,1666.
They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow(微弱的光)of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o´clock on the Sunday morning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, and after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, though the fire was dying down, as though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.
While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundreds of houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed upon a high part of the build-ing so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker´s shop in Pudding Lane(小巷) ; the baker´s house had caught fire from the over-heated oven(烤箱) and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, as it is said, at Pie Comer.
What is the passage about?

A.The Great Fire of London.
B.Who was the first to discover the fire.
C.What Pepys was doing during the fire.
D.The losses caused by the fire.

参考答案

A

答案解析

篇章分析
本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了1666年在伦敦发生的一场大火。文章从一对夫妇Pepys和Jane的经历写这场大火。由于这对夫妇家离大火发生处很远,因此开始时只能看到微弱的火光。第二天早上妻子Jane告诉丈夫发生了大火,并且烧毁了很多房子,而大火还在燃烧。Pepys于是找一个高点观望,看到很多房子被烧毁。大火是由一个面包师的烤箱起火引起的。
答案及解析
【题型】主旨题
【解析】通过对文章的分析,可知本文记叙了伦敦的大火。而B、C、D三项文中只是提到,而非文章主旨,故不能选择。
