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.
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
选项
A、All prisoners in the Bastille had to stay there for life.
B、Over the years the number of prisoners in the Bastille was getting more and more.
C、The King could put people in, or let them go out, as he wanted.
D、At the time it was captured, there were so few prisoners in it that it meant little to the people.
答案
C
解析
本题考查对句子的理解,从文章第一段最后两句worst of all, a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day, a week, a year, or forever 和Only the King’s letter could set him free理解,选项A错而C正确。第二段第一句Over the years the number of arrests by King’s letter had become fewer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。
