During his lifetime, this gentleman was very curious about the Dutch history of that region. Although unable to find much information on this subject in books, he learned a great deal by listening to the old men of the town - and more especially their wives. Whenever, therefore, he found by chance some real Dutch family, living comfortably in some farmhouse with a low roof, under a fine big tree, he considered it as full of information as a history book, and he studied it eagerly. The result of all this study was a history of the region during the time of the Dutch governors, which he published some years ago. There have been various opinions as to the artistic quality of his work, and, to tell the truth, it is not a bit better than it should be. Its chief virtue is that it truthfully reports the facts. It is therefore highly respected by students of history, and has been admitted into all historical collections.The old gentleman died soon after his work was published. Now that he is dead and gone, it cannot do much harm to his memory to say that perhaps he should have spent his time on more important matters. He, however, preferred to follow his interests in his own way; and though he sometimes troubled and angered some of his neighbors and friends, his deeds are now remembered “more in sorrow than in anger”. Most people now think that he never intended to do any harm.11.Which of the following statements can NOT be concluded from the last paragraph? A. Diedrichs book was a true and detailed record of the region he lived in B. Diedrich Knicherbocker angered some of his neighbors and friends by writing them truly into the book C. Diedrich Knicherbocker didnt intend to hurt any neighbors or friends D. No one was sorrowful about his death 正确答案：D题目解析：解析由文章最后一段可以看出虽然他曾经做过不少令邻居和朋友升起的事，但是在他死后他还是被认为“more in sorrow than in anger”.正确答案选D12.Diedrich Knicherbocker collected what he hoped to get mainly by _.

A group of Russian soldiers saw him and began chasing him through the twisting streets. Napoleon ran for his life into a little furriers shop. As Napoleon entered the shop, he saw the furrier and cried, “Save me, save me! Where can I hide?” The furrier said, “Quick, under the big pile of furs in the corner,” and he covered Napoleon up with many furs. No sooner had he finished than the Russian soldiers burst in the door, shouting “Where is he? We saw him come in.” Despite the furriers protests, they tore the shop apart trying to find Napoleon. But they didnt find him and left. After some time, Napoleon came out from under the furs, unharmed, just as his personal guards came in the door. The furrier turned to Napoleon and said, “Excuse me for asking such a great man this question, but what was it like to be under those furs, knowing that the next moment would surely be your last?” Napoleon drew himself up to his full height and said to the furrier angrily, “How could you ask such a question of me, the Emperor Napoleon! Guards, take this rude man out, blindfold him and e x e cute him. I myself will give the command to fire!” The guards took the poor furrier out, stood him up against a wall and blindfolded him. The furrier could see nothing, but he could hear the movements of the guards as they prepared their rifles. He trembled. Then he heard Napoleon clear his throat and call out slowly, “Ready aim” At that moment, knowing that he would die, a feeling he couldnt describe came to him and tears ran down his cheeks.After a long period of silence, the furrier heard footsteps approaching him and the blindfold was taken down from his eyes. He saw Napoleons eyes looking deeply into his own - eyes that seemed to see into every dusty corner of his being. Then Napoleon said softly, “Now you know.”16.Napoleon ran for his life because _.
