语 篇 提 能Ⅰ.阅读理解Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoys 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 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. Tolstoys 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: 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 factsB．based on the Russian historyC．based on his selection of factsD．not related to historical details2．Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because ______.A．he thought he should be the one to make the peace termsB．the Tsars peace terms were hard to acceptC．the Russians stopped his military movementD．he didnt have any more army to fight with3．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 guestsB．fond of showing off his iron willC．determined in destroying all of EuropeD．crazy for power and respect答案与解析：1．解析：细节理解题。
