Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Pari
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 __________ .

参考解答
问题 1 答案解析:D
这是一道关于文中时间的细节题.第一段第四句CardinalRichelieuturneditintoaprison中turn…into…意思为使成为.因此,自从CardinalRichelieu统治时起,巴士底成为监狱.
问题 2 答案解析:D
本题关键是是否理解了最后一段第二句Thedayitwascaptured,onlysevenprisonerswerefoundinside中capture一词的含义,即攻占、攻陷.然而文章第二段第二句有干扰作用,“到它陷落时为止,绝大多数(入狱过的)犯人是提笔反对政府贪污腐败的作家”,佷多会因此选择B或C.
问题 3 答案解析:A
因为第一段中Itwasnotanordinaryprisontopunishcommoncrimes和ItshugedoorsclosedonlyonenemiesoftheKing表示选项A“任何做错事的人可能会突然发现自己关进巴士底监狱”说法错误.选项B和C均在第一段提到,D在第二段提及.
问题 4 答案解析:D
本题是中心思想题.文章主要是简短地介绍巴士底监狱的历史.
问题 5 答案解析:C
本题考查对句子的理解.从文章第一段最后两句worstofall,aprisonerneverknewifhewouldbethereaday,aweek,ayear,orforever和OnlytheKing’slettercouldsethimfree理解,选项A错而C正确.第二段第一句OvertheyearsthenumberofarrestsbyKing’sletterhadbecomefewer将选项B推翻.文章最后两句表明人们仍然憎恨国王的专断独权,因此D错.
