Some people would say that the Englishman’s home is
no longer his castle, and that it has become his workshop. This is partly
because the average Englishman is keen on working with his own hands and partly
because he feels, for one reason or another, that he must do for himself many
households for which, some years ago, he would have hired professional help. The
main reason for this is a financial one. The high cost of labor has meant that
builders’ and decorators’ cost have reached a level which makes them prohibitive
for house-proud English people of modest means. So, if they wish to keep their
houses looking bright and smart, they have to tackle some of the repairs and
decorating themselves. As a result, there has grown up in the post-war years
what is sometimes referred to as the "do-it-yourself movement".

[单项选择] Passage Three
Some people do not like anything to be
out of place; they are never late for work; they return their books on time to
the library; they remember people’s birthdays; and they pay their bills as soon
as they arrive. Mr. Hill is such a man.
Mr. Hill works in a
bank, and lives alone. The only family he has is in the next town: his sister
lives there with her husband, and her son, Jack. Mr. Hill does not see his
sister, or her family, from one year to the next, but he sends them Christmas
cards, and he has not forgotten one of Jack’s seventeen birthdays.

[单项选择] Passage Three
People often speak of fire as though it
were a living creature--It grows, dances, needs oxygen, feeds on whatever it can
find, and then dies. And when a forest fire rages out of control, threatening
human lives and homes, it must be fought like a "wild animal." The fight is

The heated air above a fire rises in a pillar of smoke and burnt gases,
pulling fresh air in from the sides to replace it. Firefighters use this fact
when they "fight fire with fire." They start a fire well in front of the one
which they are fighting. Instead of traveling on in front of the huge fire, the
smaller fire is pulled back toward it by the updrafts of the larger blaze. As it
travels back to meet the large
A. how fires start
B. damage caused by fire
C. the fascination of fire
D. fighting forest fires
