Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy’sWar and Peace, is more than once described as having “fat little hands.’’ Nor does he “sit well or firmly on the horse.’’ He is said to be “undersized.’’ with“short legs’’ and a “round stomach”. The issue here is not the accuracy of Tolstoy’s description--it seems not that far off from historical accounts but his choice of facts：other things that could be said of the man are not said. We are meant to understand the difference of a warring commander in the body of a fat little Frenchman. Tolstoy’s Napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his nose—and that is the point.

It is a way the novelist uses to show the moral nature of a character. And it turns out that, as Tolstoy has it, Napoleon is a crazy man. In a scene in Book Three ofWar and Peace, the wars having reached the critical year of 1812,Napoleon receives a representative from the Tsar(沙皇), who has come with peace terms. Napoleon is very angry：doesn’t he have more army? He, not the Tsar, is the one to make the terms. He will destroy all of Europe if his army is stopped. “That is what you will have gained by engaging me in the war!” he shouts. And then, Tolstoy writes, Napoleon “walked silently several times up and down the room, his fat shoulders moving quickly.’’

Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to dinner. “He raised his hand to the Russian’s…face,” Tolstoy writes, and “taking him by the ear pulled it gently….” To have one’s ear pulled by the Emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the French court. “Well, well, why don’t you say anything?’’ said he, as if it was ridiculous in his presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.

Tolstoy did his research, but the composition is his own.

1.Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peaceis _________.

A.far from the historical facts B.based on the Russian history

C.based on his selection of facts D.not related to historical details

2.Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.

A.he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms

B.the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept

C.the Russians stopped his military movement

D.he didn’t have any more army to fight with

3.What did Napoleon expect the Russian representative to do?

A.To walk out of the room in anger. B.To show agreement with him.

C.To say something about the Tsar. D.To express his admiration.

4.Tolstoy intended to present Napoleon as a man who is _________.

A.ill-mannered in dealing with foreign guests B.fond of showing off his iron will

C.determined in destroying all of Europe D.crazy for power and respect

5.What does the last sentence of the passage imply?

A.A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.

B.A writer may write about a hero in his own way.

C.A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.

D.A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

A study into character, intelligence and usefulness shows dogs are better pets than cats—but only by a whisker.

Staff at New Scientist magazine first listed the areas where cats fared better. These included having bigger brains—compared to their body size. Cats’brains also contain 1.4 million more cells, devoted to complex functions such as memory and attention, than dogs. Cats’second point was given for being more popular, with 204 million living in the top ten cat-owning nations compared to 173 million dogs in the ten countries where dogs are favored. Cats also get more attention from humans, with purrs （呼噜声）and miaows easily to be noticed. Although dogs can vary their barks, they cannot match the attention-seeking of cats. It is a similar story when it comes to senses. Cats can see in lower light than dogs and have a far wider hearing range and a sharper sense of smell. They are also said to be’greener’pets because their smaller appetites mean less area of land required to farm their food.

But in the other six categories examined—many of which related to getting on with humans dogs had the edge.

Dogs have a longer shared history with humans, maybe as long as 135,000 years. Cats are relative newcomers to our homes. Similarly, dogs have a greater ability to bond with their masters. Even four-month-old puppies choose a human companion over another dog. Dogs scored a third point for their better powers of understanding and following human gestures. One study found that a dog called Rico had mastered the meaning of more than 200 words. The ability to perform roles such as being a guide dog for the blind meant dogs were rated better than cats when it came to their problem-solving abilities. And they are easier to train.

With the scores tied at five-all, the deciding point fell on usefulness—with dogs coming out on top.

Dogs, studies show, help cut human stress, while taking them for walks keeps their owners fit and helps them meet new people. New Scientist says: “Dogs can hunt and guard. They can sniff out drugs and bombs; they guide blind and deaf people, find someone buried in ruins, and possibly even predict earthquakes.”

And in a conclusion certain to set off argument, it adds: “Cats are good if you have rodents （啮齿类动物）.”

1.Which of the following is not cats’ advantage?

A．Better at grasping their owners’ instructions.

B．Having relatively larger brains.

C．Affecting the environment less.

D．More likely to drawing attention.

2.The underlined phrase “by a whisker”（paragraph 1）probably means “        ”.

A．quite considerably             B．just a little bit

C．most significantly                 D．in some aspects

3.We can learn the fact from the passage that          .

A．Dogs are far from satisfactory in terms of their ability to catch rodents

B．Dogs can better help people who have problems with their sight and hearing

C．Comparatively speaking, cats have a better interaction with humans

D．Dogs beat cats when it comes to their senses of sight, heating and smell

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A．Cats beat Dogs                      B．Fight like Cat and Dog

C．Cats versus Dogs                D．Cats away, Dogs Play

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered drivers to resist the temptation to take revenge (报复) on uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the tensions of driving. A friendly nod or a wave of appreciation in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such appreciation of politeness is too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can be dangerous. Typical example are the drivers who brakes violently to allow a car to came out of a side street at some danger to following traffic; or the man who wave a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they like to.

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to move correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the less obvious points of driving perfectly. Years ago the experts warned us that an explosion in car-ownership would demand a lot more give and take from all road users. It’s high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

1. According to the passage, the role of politeness can _______.

A. help us learn about traffic rules

B. reduce the pleasure of driving

C. make our life happier than others’

D. resist the temptation to take revenge on uncivilized behavior

2.By “good sense” in the first paragraph, the writer means ________.

A. the driver’s ability to understand politeness and react reasonably

B. the driver’s immediate response to terrible road conditions

C. the driver’s skill of controlling his or her car in extreme situations

D. the driver’s ability of driving safely in traffic jams

3.Which of the following is NOT misplaced politeness?

A. The driver lets old ladies cross the road when they want to.

B. The driver responses to an act of politeness in a friendly way.

C. The driver suddenly stops to permit a car to come from a side street.

D. The driver waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of dangerous

oncoming vehicles.

4.In the writer’s opinion, ___________.

A. strict traffic regulations are badly needed

B. drivers should apply road politeness properly

C. rude drivers should be punished

D. drivers should avoid traffic jams
