题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Less educated and less poised(沉着的)than his brother William, Britain’s Prince Harry has occasionally found himself on the front pages of some tabloid (小报) for the wrong reason. Harry has admitted drinking underage and smoking marijuana(大麻)in the past. In January 2006, he apologized after being pictured at a costume party dressed as a Nazi. But one thing he has been serious about is going to Iraq to fight with his fellow soldiers. After completing training last year, he demanded a chance to serve.

As a child he collected military toys and his bedroom walls were covered with posters of helicopters and tanks. Despite his youth, the army has always held a special place in his heart.

 “There’s no way I am going to sit back home while my boys are out fighting for their country,” he said in an interview to mark his 21st birthday. “That may sound patriotic(爱国的), but it’s true.” Perhaps this shows new strength in him.

Britain’s Defense Ministry announced last week that the 22-year-old Harry would serve a six-month tour of duty in southern Iraq.

Harry said he was “over the moon” and has insisted he wants to be treated the same as any ordinary soldiers.

In Britain, British Prime Minister Tony Blair described Harry’s decision as in keeping with his character. But in Baghdad, Iraqis described it as a public relations move.

Harry has been the focus of attention in the past few years probably because of________.

A. the identity as a prince of the UK

B. his bad habits and wrong behavior

C. his devotion to his country

D. his preference to the army

By saying “Perhaps this shows new strength in him.”, the author means that Prince Harry changed his image by_______.

A. taking an interest in military   

B. apologizing for a Nazi uniform  

C. being willing to serve in the army in Iraq 

D. defending Britain against attack

The underlined word “over the moon” in the Paragraph 5 means_____.

A. very pleased   B. very sad    C. very frightened   D. very calm

Which of the followings is NOT the reason why he insisted on serving in Iraq?

A. He was more or less affected by his childhood’s interest

B. He has grown up and felt a sense of duty to his country

C. His strong character contributes to his decision

D. He wants to make up for his wrong actions

     In World War Ⅱ, a large and strong German army marched (行军) to France for making a war against
the Frenchmen. The Frenchmen, a brave group of people, loved their own country deeply. They put their
hearts into fighting hard to drive their enemies out of France. But it looked as if the German army would
win the war because there were so many Germans in the battle.
     One night, the leader of the Frenchmen was forced to withdraw (撤退) his soldiers to the top of a tall
building after a dissatisfactory war. "We will have a rest here tonight, my men," he said, "Tomorrow we
will fight one more serious battle. We must win or we will all die." At that time, they were all so tired that
they soon fell asleep after they ate their supper quickly. There were only four guards on duty. But they
were also very exhausted and fell asleep one by one.
     The foxy Germans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the building. Slowly they went
up the building carefully making no noise. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Frenchmen. They
almost reached the top. The war would be over a few minutes later. Suddenly, an earthquake shook and the
building was destroyed right away. Most soldiers of both sides fell down and were buried under the useless
pieces of the building. Terribly, the war ended with an unbelievable result.
1. Why did the Germans and the Frenchmen go to war?
A. Because there were too many German soldiers living in France.
B. Because the Frenchmen wanted to drive the Germans out of France.
C. Because the Germans got many things from France.
D. Because the Germans failed in marching through France.
2. What did the Frenchmen's withdraw mean?
A. They had no other way to fight against the Germans.
B. They had to face the failure of the battle.
C. They would fight a more serious battle the next day.
D. They would be forced to give in the next day.
3. In the end, what happened in the war?
A. The Germans won the war.
B. The Frenchmen beat the Germans.
C. Both sides had no chance to win the war.
D. The earthquake helped the Frenchmen win the war.
