高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

C

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.

Katharine Meyer Graham was once described as “the most powerful woman in America.” She was not a government official or elected representative. She owned and published The Washington Post. Under her leadership, it became one of the most important newspapers in the country.

Katharine Meyer was born in New York City in 1917. Her father was a successful investment banker and became an important financial official. Her family was very rich. Katharine grew up in large houses in New York and Washington. Her parents were often away from home, traveling and working, Katharine was often lonely. Katherine Meyer graduated from the University of Chicago in Illinois in 1938. In 1933, her father bought a failing newspaper, The Washington Post. It was the least successful one of five newspapers in Washington.

Katharine Graham returned to Washington and got a job editing letters to the editor of her father's newspaper. She married Philip Graham. He was a clerk for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter but soon accepted a job at his wife's father's newspaper. Mr. Graham improved The Washington Post. He bought Newsweek and several television stations. He also established close ties with important political leaders. However, Mr. Graham treated his wife badly. He had an affair with a young reporter. For many years, Mr. Graham suffered from mental illness. He killed himself in 1963.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Described as the world’s most environmentally friendly protein, Solein is made by applying electricity to water to release bubbles of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Living microbes(微生物) are then added to the liquid to feed on the carbon dioxide and hydrogen bubbles and produce the Solein, which is then dried to make the powder. It’s a natural fermentation(发酵) process similar to beer brewing. The dried Solein has a protein content of 50 percent and looks and tastes just like wheat flour.

“It is a completely new kind of food, a new kind of protein, different to all the food on the market todav in how it is produced as it does not need agriculture.” Dr Pasi Vinikka, the chief executive of Solar Foods told The Guardian. The process used to produce Solein — converting hydrogen and carbon dioxide to calories — is amazing, as the wonder food can be produced anywhere in the world. It’s also 10 times more energy-efficient per hectare than photosynthesis (光合作用), and 10 to 100 times more environment and climate-friendly in water use than animal or plant based food production.

“Solein also contains all the essential amino acids(氨基酸), but because it is produced using carbon dioxide and electricity, it does not require large amounts of land to produce,” the Solar Foods website explains. “Another unique characteristic of Solein is that it is able to take carbon directly from carbon dioxide without needing a source of sugar.”

While Solar Foods does not expect Solein to challenge conventional protein production methods in the next two decades, it does expect it to become a “new harvest” for humanity, which is significant considering so far we have only relied on plants and animals for sustenance. The Helsinki-based company plans to open its first Solein factory at the end of 2021 and scale up production to two billion meals per year by 2022.

1.Which of the following statements best describe the features of Solein?

A.It is a new kind of food containing all the nutrition.

B.It is made from water and carbon dioxide by applying electricity.

C.It is produced without consuming much land and energy.

D.It is a kind of man-made wheat flour.

2.What does the underlined word “converting” mean?

A.relating B.changing

C.contributing D.adapting

3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.The company thinks Solein would have a rewarding future.

B.Solein is supposed to challenge traditional protein production.

C.There is still a long way for Solein to be put into production.

D.Humans can completely rely on Solein to survive.

4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A.To promote a new kind of technology.

B.To introduce a new kind of food.

C.To make an ad for a new kind of protein.

D.To call on people to protect the environment.
