Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy's 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 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 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: 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 Peace is ______.
A．far from the historical facts

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

3．解析：由上下文知：人们从附近美军部队请求医疗援助。provide“提供”；ask sb.for sth.“向某人要某物”；offer sb.sth.“为某人提供某物”；request sth.from sb.“向某人请求某事/物”。
答案：D

Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men，” he said，“Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win, or we will die.” They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland.
The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.

Happiness(Romance)★★★★
Happiness tells the story of two people(Lisa Turbot and Danny Roy)who work for different advertising companies. They talk on the phone all the time and don't like each other. But then they correspond by email and fall in love. This movie will be very popular with teenagers and people who like romances. It also has beautiful music.
I Scream(Thriller)★★
In I Scream, Paul(Colin Jacks) is a young man who joins a thriller club. Each of the members tries to frighten the others. Paul is told to stay in an old house for the night. Everyone who has tried to stay in the house before he has died. This movie is very frightening but also quite silly. It doesn't make sense for Paul to stay in the house when things start to go wrong. Only for people who like thrillers.
Paul's heroes(Comedy)★★★
This is a very funny war movie set in World War Two. Six soldiers(including Sammy Turblow) have to get to Italy to take secret messages to the American army there. During the movie, they dress up as women and fight with Italian workers. You can guess the ending but it's great fun getting there.
______(Drama)★★★★★
This is a very good drama with Jack Ross，who pays a hard－working truck driver. His wife becomes ill and he has to find a doctor who can help her. In his travels, he meets Dr. Lioyd(Phil Driver)who has found the cure for the illness, but Jack Ross has only twelve hours to get the medicine back to his wife on the other side of America. This is an excellent movie which is very exciting.

B．Medicine
C．A Strange Illness
D．Twelve Hours
答案与解析：
5．解析：综合推理题。四则评论中，只有第四个电影没有任何贬义词出现，而第二则作者用了“silly”一词形容，第三则评论中从“You can guess the ending.”可知该电影并非完美无缺，第一则电影评论虽然没有贬义词出现，但“popular with teenagers and people who like romances”说明只有部分人才会喜欢这部电影，因此选择D项。再者，评论中★的个数其实就是对电影的评价。
答案：D
6．解析：词义理解题。该电影名叫I Scream(《我尖叫》)，加上评论中“frighten”“died”“frightening”等词，这些足以说明这是一部惊险电影，因此选择B项。thriller是thrill的名词，意为“使人毛骨悚然的东西，如小说、电影等”。
答案：B
7．解析：词义理解题。by e－mail是解题关键。又由上一句中talk on the phone可知此处也指“交流，联系”，由此推断A项正确。
答案：A
8．解析：概括归纳题。末句“exciting”一词是主人公得到治妻子病的药之后返回的12个小时中的情景进行描述，而文中又缺乏对人物、疾病和药物的具体描述，所以选择D项。
答案：D

A Japanese Imperial Navy submarine(潜艇), thought to be the first one sunk by a US destroyer during the Dec. 7. 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, was discovered in an underwater training area in the harbor.
According to the news from NOAA, the sub was one of five that was supposed to slip into Pearl Harbor and wait for the air attack from the Japanese.
But one was hit and sunk by the USS Ward, another washed ashore in Waimanalo，and a third was found in the waters off of Oahu in the 1960s. This latest find leaves just one so－called small sized submarine unaccounted for.
“The sub was found during a routine training dive in a 20－foot－long submarine. The location，a pile of vehicles and other remains left over from the war，is used as a training ground for maneuvering(机动) and locating exercises for submarine，” said John Wilshire, acting director of NURP's National Undersea Research Center at the University of Hawaii, Manoa.
“We were taking part in an exercise in an area covered with war remains and there it was，” said Kalvaitis, safety and operations director for NOAA's National Undersea Research Program. “I can't believe it. It was like finding the Titanic.”
“A shell hole in the sub's tower proved that the sub had been shot down，” NOAA said. Historical accounts of the Pearl Harbor attack mentioned that the ward fired on a Japanese small－sized submarine，but until Wednesday's find，the story was unproven.
“It was just unbelievable，” Kalvaitis said. “You think it can't be happening, but we recognized it right away. It was in good condition and we got within four feet of the conning tower.”
The 78－foot submarine is sitting upright and is in “good condition”， Kalvaitis said. Two torpedoes still in their tubes provided additional proofs to the submarine's identity.
Two Japanese sailors were aboard the submarine when it sank. Kalvaitis said he did not know what would be done with the submarine, which belongs to the Japanese government.
1．The passage is mainly about ______.
A．the war of Pearl Harbor
B．a newly found Japanese Imperial Navy submarine
C．Japanese Imperial Navy submarines in the war of Pearl Harbor
D．the military training of the US navy
2．How many Japanese subs took part in the war of Pearl Harbor?
A．Five. B．Two.
C．Three. D．Four.
3．How did Al Kalvaitis feel when the Japanese sub was found?
A．Surprised. B．Pleased.
C．Disappointed. D．Calm
4．Which of the following is NOT true about the Japanese midget submarine?
A．It was sunk by a US destroyer.
B．It was in good condition when it was found.
C．Two Japanese soldiers were on it when it was sunk.
D．It was found far away from the battlefield of Pearl Harbor.

情节
概述
Ann失业了，遇到Carl后运气改变。他们去一个遥远的岛上，想拍一部关于传说中名为King Kong的巨型黑猩猩的电影。到达后发现Kong真的存在。Kong被Ann吸引，并被运回纽约，为了名利，Carl将Kong供人欣赏，由此带来一场灾难。
评论
演员表现出色，Jack的角色起初滑稽，但随着他对Kong的剥削，这一角色的深度逐渐显现；Watts显示出她的多才多艺；特技效果令人惊叹。
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
范文：
Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, remade King Kong in 2005. He used special effects to make the gorilla, King Kong, attractive. The actress Ann is played by Naomi Watts and the film－maker Carl by Jack Black.
Ann is out of work, but her luck changes when she meets Carl. They go to a remote island to make a film about Kong. Once there, they discover that Kong really exists. Kong is attracted by Ann, and is shipped back to New York. Carl displays Kong in public for fame, which results in a disaster.
The acting was good. Jack was funny at first; but more depth was shown in his character as the exploited Kong. Watts showed her versatility as an actress. The special effects were also amazing.
In general, it's a great movie.

Advertising give useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than give news about products and services, Today's advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands. Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal, or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.
For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra－tasty and has a free prize in the box，you may want it.
Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.
4．What is discussed in this passage?
A．The content of modern advertising.
B．The skills of modern advertising.
C．The results of modern advertising.
D．The writing of modern advertising.
5．According to the passage, a good advertisement should ______.
A．be both persuasive and effective
B．give people useful information
C．show people a product
D．show people a new idea of a product
6．From the passage, we know that ______.
A．modern advertising has less effect on consumers
B．once consumers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy it
C．cereal can make people strong
D．cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people
7．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Consumers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.
B．Consumers should never be persuaded by advertisements.
C．It's impossible for consumers to buy a product without advertisements.
D．Consumers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.
答案与解析：
4．解析：主旨大意题。第一、二段主要写广告撰写者的技巧可能带来的效果，第三段主要写获得这种效果的技巧。所以文章主要讨论skills of modern advertising。
答案：B
5．解析：推理判断题。由第一段第四句Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to ...和第三段第二句To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure.可知，好的广告必须既有说服力又有效果。
答案：A
6．解析：推理判断题。文章第二段谈到有的消费者可能有很多品牌的麦片，以至都没有空间放新品牌的麦片，由此可推断麦片很受人们欢迎。其余选项均表述错误。
答案：D
7．解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，人们很容易被广告说服去买一些他们原本可能不需要的东西，故选A项。
答案：A
C
(2013·辽宁抚顺高二检测)
My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not. They had a simple saying hanging on their living－room wall: “Life is like a field of newly fallen snow. Where I choose to walk every step will show.” They didn't have to talk about it; they showed this truth by the way they lived.
They understood that honesty is an inner standard for judging your behaviour. Unfortunately，honesty is in short supply today. But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline we must demand of ourselves.
There's a story told about a surgical(外科的) nurse's first day on the medical team at a well－known hospital. She was responsible for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation. At the end of the operation，the nurse said to the doctor, “You've only removed 11 sponges(纱布), and we used 12. We need to find the last one.”
“I removed them all，” the doctor assured her. “No, you didn't，sir，” insisted the nurse. “Think of the patient.”
Smiling, the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge.
So when you know you're right，you can't yield. Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.
Self－respect and a clear awareness of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others. Honesty means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle，of not easily yielding，will always take you forward. My grandparents taught me that.
8．From the first two paragraphs，we can infer that ______.
A．the author's grandparents liked snow
B．the author's grandparents didn't like chatting
C．the author is worried about the issue of honesty in today's society
D．honesty is the most important standard for judging one's behaviour
9．The nurse insisted there was still a sponge because ______.
A．she saw the doctor hide the twelfth sponge
B．she believed she was right
C．she thought the doctor was not responsible
D．she knew the patient well
10．What does the underlined word “yield” mean in the text?
A．Admit. B．Give in.
C．Stop. D．Look forward.
11．How does the text mainly develop?
A．By providing an example of honesty.
B．By making a comparison between honesty and dishonesty.
C．By explaining the author's grandparents' belief in detail.
D．By following the order of importance.
答案与解析：
8．解析：推理判断题。由文章第二段尤其是第二句Unfortunately, honesty is in short supply today可知，作者感到很不幸的是，社会急需诚信。可见，他对当今社会的诚信问题很担心。
答案：C
9．解析：细节理解题。由文章第三、四段可知，当护士发现12块纱布只取出11块时，她坚持自己是对的，本着对病人负责的态度，不向医生屈服。
答案：B
10．解析：词义猜测题。根据全文的例子及下句的Don't be afraid等可知，如果知道自己是对的，那就不要屈服。故选B项。
答案：B
11．解析：篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章先提出论点，然后通过一个关于手术的故事来论证，最后总结。故选A项。
答案：A
D
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self－made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While a leader in a business or a college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than a common labourer or even a skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or labourer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(体力) labour is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flower bed and painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait_on_table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
12．From Paragraph 1, we can know that in America ______.
A．people tend to have a high opinion of the self－made man
B．people can always rise to the top through their own efforts
C．college professors win great respect from common workers
D．people feel painful to mention their fathers as labourers
13．According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because ______.
A．servants in America are hard to get
B．she takes pride in what she can do herself
C．she can hardly afford servants
D．it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
14．The underlined expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “______”．
A．work in a furniture shop
B．keep accounts for a bar
C．wait to lay the table
D．serve customers in a restaurant
15．Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?
A．A Respectable Self－made Family.
B．American Attitude toward Manual Labour.
C．Characteristics of American Culture.
D．The Development of Manual Labour.
答案与解析：
本文主要讲述美国人对手工劳动的态度。
12．解析：细节理解题。由文章第一段第一句可知答案。
答案：A
13．解析：细节理解题。由文章第二段倒数第四句可知答案。
答案：B
14．解析：词义猜测题。根据下文的wash dishes for his living可推测出wait on table的意思是“在饭店当服务员”。
答案：D
15．解析：标题归纳题。综观全文可知B项为最佳标题。
答案：B

答案与解析
21．解析：前面讲到天气很热，到冰淇淋店里去吃一块冰淇淋是为了凉快一下。
答案：B
22．解析：根据后面little round tables and chairs以及后面“两位老太太进去”这些信息，这家店不可能是现代的、漂亮的或很难看的店。
答案：A
23．解析：below和under显然不妥，above指“在……上方”一般不指垂直的上方。bend over sth.指垂直的上方，是一个常见的搭配，指弯腰俯身在……上。
答案：C
24．解析：句中指老太太的背弯得厉害。
答案：D
25．解析：前面讲到老太太的背弯得很厉害，可见这里指她的脸差点碰到桌面上。
答案：B
26．解析：这个故事发生在一个冰淇淋小店里，所以用miles, kilometers, inches来表示两人之间的距离显然不妥，指的是相隔几张桌子的距离。
答案：A
27．解析：本句是作者可怜那位老太太而发出的感叹：“她的生活中能得到什么乐趣呢？”根据get这一动词，我们选D。get sth. out of sth.是一个常用搭配。
答案：D
28．解析：根据上下文，不难看出，这里指两位老太太很快就谈论起她们童年的日子了。discuss指正式讨论；speak后应该加of才能表示“谈及”；而debate指辩论。
答案：B
29．解析：根据上文，作者看过一次第一个老太太，这里指作者又一次看她，而且两次有不同的感觉。
答案：D
30．解析：根据句中的“on the wall”和“catching a picture of myself”这些信息，我们可以判断出不可能是“窗子”。因为墙上的窗子要用介词in。也不是newspaper和TV，因为自己的像不可能出现在这些东西里。
答案：C
31．解析：wear是“穿着”；dress后应接sb.; put on表示动作，“穿上”；have on也表示“穿着”，但不能用进行时。本句的意思是“我穿着一件旧衬衫”。
答案：B
32．解析：根据后面shining with gold rings来判断，金戒指必定是戴在手上的。
答案：A
33．解析：作者开头可怜老太太，经过观察对比，觉得自己才可怜。

答案：B
35．解析：这里指老太太对过去的回忆。从上文可以看出，老太太的回忆应该是美好的。
答案：C
36．解析：本题看起来四个选项都可以，但仔细分析一下，只有A是正确的。但是sharing the day是分享快乐的一天，而不是一般的度过、消磨时间的意思。
答案：A
37．解析：看着别人，想起自己，作者显然暗暗担心自己的衰老。
答案：D
38．解析：作者在上文把自己和那位老太太作了对比，觉得自己不如那位老太太，自己老了的处境很难设想，而逝去的年岁并没有伤害到那位老太太。
答案：B
39．解析：这里指离开小店时，作者想起了自己的一个愚蠢的问题。realize, give up 和wonder都没有“想起”这一意思。
答案：D
40．解析：四个选项中只有why可作为感叹句，when, whether, how都不能作感叹词，而句中显然需要一个感叹词，而不是连词，文后面有逗号，故选C。相当于“啊”的意思，其余几个词显然不妥。
答案：C
