Centuries ago, during the Middle Ages, most of the land in Europe was owned by many differ

ent kings and queens, princes and princesses, and lords and ladies. They did not all get along. They were always fighting. They all wanted to get more land. To protect themselves, they started building huge homes out of stone. They called their homes castles.

A castle was built behind a strong stone wall. The wall was five or six feet thick and ten to twenty feet high. A deep ditch called a moat was dug around the outside of the wall. It was often filled with water, and the only way anyone could enter the castle was to cross a drawbridge. The drawbridge could be raised or lowered over the moat from inside the castle walls. There was also a tunnel that began in the castle and ended at the moat. This was important in case the castle was captured. It allowed the king and queen to escape. They could swim across the moat and hide in the forest.

Living in a castle was not very comfortable. The rooms were cold and damp. Every room could have' a fire burning in a great fireplace, but until the twelfth century castles did not have chimneys. The smoke from their fireplaces had to go out through open doors and windows. Meals often had ten or twelve courses. The meat might be wild bear or birds that were boiled or roasted over an open fire. All the food was highly seasoned. People even put pepper in their drinks[ The people sat at a long table and ate with their fingers and a knife, all picking their food from the same big dish. They had no napkins. Therefore, they often wiped their hands on pieces of bread. When their fingers were clean, they threw the bread to their bunting dogs.

Which of the following statements is NOT true about castles?

A.Kings and queens, princes and princesses, and lords and ladies built castles in order to get more land.

B.Around the outside of a castle, a moat was dug, which was often filled with water.

C.A castle was built behind a thick and high stone wall, which was strong enough to stand the possible attack of enemies.

D.If a drawbridge was pulled up, there was no way for people to enter the castle.

Section ASeveral centuries ago, when European people marveled at the fine pottery shipped

Section A

Several centuries ago, when European people marveled at the fine pottery shipped from a mysterious nation in the orient, they decided to give it a name.【76】The trader explained that the exquisite products were made in a town called " changnan", which people gradually began to pronounce as"china".

【77】Chinese ceramics were first created more than 2,000 years ago when Changnan was little more than a village. The township was not established until the early ninth century AD, when the Song Emperor Jingde named Changnan with his own royal name as a reward for the local people’s creativity and inspiration.【78】From then on, Changnan gradually fell into oblivion(遗忘) , but Jingdezhen, or Jingde Town, in the same place, is still the capital of ceramics(陶瓷).

【79】Traditional Jingdezhen china art can be categorized into four schools, with the most famous one being the " blue and white porcelain". Chinese families take pride in possessing Jingdezhen-made porcelain pieces, and they know how to distinguish good china from inferior china by referring to the unique features attributed to Jingdezhen ceramics only.

【80】In the face of challenges from Europe and the rest of Asia in the production of chinaware today, local minds advocate giving priority to artistic porcelain. Several new generations of masters have added many new types of china to their traditional legacy by diversifying into a large variety of wares, including pots, plates, sculpture, other decorations and screens.
