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.
At the time of its fall, the Bastille housed________.
选项
A、a large number of prisoners
B、a lot of writers who had been against the government
C、some dozens of people who believed in free speech and free thinking
D、only a few prisoners
答案
D
解析
本题关键是是否理解了最后一段第二句The day it was captured, only seven prisoners were found inside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。
