The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built
by Richard Burbage’s father, James Burbage, in Shoreditch in 1576. The first performance for which a firm
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂record remains was Jonson’s Every Man out of His Humour — with its first scene welcoming the
“gracious and kind spectators” — at the end of the year.
On 29th June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A
theatrical gun, set off during the performance, misfired, burning the wooden beams and straws. According
to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches
(炮后膛) were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.
Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642. It was
pulled down in 1644, or slightly later — the commonly cited document dating the act to 15 April 1644 has
been identified as false — to make room for other buildings.
A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997, with a
production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence
of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (230m) from the site of the original
theatre.
28.How did the Globe Theatre begin to be on fire on 29 June 1613?
A.It was set fire to by a performer by design.

British Airways London Eye, formerly called as the Millennium Wheel, is situated on the south bank

British newspaper. British Airways, after noticing this widely publicized article, agreed to fund, foreseeing
the vital contribution of this project to London’s skyline and its tourism, giving a spectacular view of this
fascinating city that was otherwise not visible to the Londoners.
The entire construction resembles a giant cycle wheel, with a diameter of 135m (443ft) and weighing
1,700 tons of steel and 2,000 tons at the foundation reaching almost 30m deep! It is the largest observation
wheel built so far, making even Statue of Liberty, Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, look up to it. It is the 4th
highest structure in London. Canary Wharf Towers, BT Tower and Tower 42 are the higher three.
The whole structure was designed in parts in various countries, later fully assembled on Thames bank.
With the dedication of 1,700 workers, this structure was realized in 16 months, just in time to welcome the
millennium. Tony Blair inaugurated (为……举行开幕式) it on December 31st, 1999 and a minor safety
concern regarding clutching delayed its opening to public, which finally happened 3 months behind the
schedule in March 2000.
