阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的a,b,c或d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。napoleon, as a character intolstoys war 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 tolstoys descriptionit seems not that far off from historical accountsbut 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. tolstoys napoleon could be any man wandering in the streets and putting a little of powdered tobacco up his noseand 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 of war 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:doesnt 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 russians. . . face, “ tolstoy writes, and“taking him by the ear pulled it gently. . .” to have ones ear pulled by the emperor was considered the greatest honor and mark of favor at the french court. “well, well, why dont 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. tolstoys description of napoleon in war and peace is.a. far from the historical facts b. based on the russian historyc. based on his selection of facts d. not related to historical details2. napoleon was angry when receiving the russian representative because.a. he thought he should be

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 guestsb. fond of showing off his iron willc. determined in destroying all of europed. crazy for power and respect5. what does the last sentence of the passage imply? a. a writer doesnt 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

by using the information fromthe passage. write no more than three words for each answer.food makes us feel good, but some people eat when they arent really hungry and eat to simply feel good. this kind of eating habit is called emotional eating, which does not affect adults but also young children. it isnt a good thing.a childs eating habits can develop right from childhood. as we know, a baby cries out if he doesnt get milk at the usual time of the day. however, sometimes parents immediately stick a bottle in a childs mouth without trying to find out if the child is really hungry. in fact, children may cry for other reasons. even as children grow up and start going to school, parents sometimes give them a chocolate bar if they become really unhappy. as the children further grow up, they may become used to having a snack whenever theyre upset or low.therefore, theyd like to eat an emotional snack when they have the feeling of unhappiness and boredom. even when they dont get high grades, arent popular at school or made fun of by others, they will want something to eat. after having the snack, they feel a lot better.emotional eating in young children is a thing that needs to be taken seriously. to protect your children from emotional eating, you should satisfy your childs emotional needs in the best possible way. this includes spending time with your child every day, taking
