第一段One of the most well-known fires in history was the Great Fire of London.This took place in 1996,and destroyed almost the whole city.The fire started in the house of the king’s baker(烘炉),John Farynor,at two o’clock on the morning of September 2nd.Farynor lived in a narrow,crowded street,where all the houses were made of wood,so the fire spread very quickly.The city was on fire for five days.By the time the fire had been put out,13,200 houses,88 churches,4 bridges,4 prisons and 400 streets had been destroyed.Amazingly,only six people lost their lives in the Great Fire of London.
第二段 Another well-known fire was the Chicago fire of 1871.This started when a cow knocked over a burning lantern in a busy street.It had not rained in Chicago for a long time,and strong winds soon blew the frames all around the city.About 18,000 buildings were destroyed in this fire,250 people lost their lives,and 100,000 people lost their homes.
第三段When a huge earthquake hit San Francisco in 1906,a number of fires broke out.The fires burned for three days,but firefighters could not fight them because the earthquake had destroyed the city’s water system.When the fire finally stopped burning,a huge part of the city had been destroyed.More than 700 lives and 25,000 buildings were lost in the San Francisco fires.
第四段During the Second World War,many countries made use of fire as a weapon(武器) to fight their enemies.Some countries,including Britain,used special bombs(炸弹) called ‘incendiaries’ or ‘fire-bombs’.When a large number of these fire-bombs were dropped on a city at one time,huge fire-storms were created(造成).These then swept through the city at high speed.As fire-storms could reach a temperature of around 1,000℃,they were extremely dangerous.Hundreds of thousands of people were killed by fire-bombs.
【第一段】历史上最知名的火灾之一,就是伦敦大火.这场大火发生在1996年,几乎烧毁了整个城市.大火在9月2日凌晨两点,起于国王面包师约翰·法瑞纳(John Farynor)的房子里.法瑞纳住在一条窄而拥挤的街道上,那里所有的房屋都是木制的,因此火迅速蔓延.这个城市整整五天都在火海之中,大火熄灭时,已经有13,200间房屋、88个教堂、4座桥、4座监狱、条街道被焚毁.令人惊奇的是:在伦敦大火中仅有4人丧生.
【第二段】令一场知名的大火,是1871年的芝加哥大火.这场大火起因于:一头母牛打翻了繁华街道上的一支点着的灯笼.很长一段时间,一直都没有下雨,大风一吹,就把整个城市的一切都吹得只剩下架子了.大约有18,000座大楼毁于这场大火之中,250人丧生,100,000无家可归.
【第三段】1906年,一场巨大的地震袭击了旧金山,结果引发了多处火灾.大火烧了三天,但消防队员未能战胜大火,因为地震破坏了这座城市的供水系统.当大火终于停止燃烧时,该市的绝大部分已被焚毁.700多条生命和25,000幢大楼在旧金山火海之中消失.
【第四段】第二次世界大战期间,许多国家把火当做武器来使用,以战胜他们的敌人.一些国家,包括英国,使用了叫做“纵火者”或“燃烧弹”的特殊炸弹.这些燃烧弹一旦被大量投掷到城市,即会造成巨大的火风暴.于是,这些燃烧弹极速席卷城市.由于火风暴的温度可高达约1,000℃,因此,是极度危险的.无数的人民被燃烧弹杀害.
