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 ,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. 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals, spiders, insects.

       One day while walking through the woods, the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.

       The butterfly then appeared easily.

       But it had a swollen body and small, fragile wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would be smaller in time.Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (慢慢爬行)around with a swollen body and fragile wings.

       It never was able to fly.

       What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the limited cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

       Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles and difficulties, it would disable us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

1.The butterfly could never fly because _______________.

       A.it was too fat and strong.

    B.it loved crawling around.

       C.it got out of the cocoon easily.

    D.it didn’t get through the cocoon.

2.The text is most likely to be found in a book about_______________.

       A.popular science                                          B.humorous stories.

       C.successful people                                       D.philosophy events

3.What is the implied meaning of the passage?

       A.Life without any obstacles and difficulties is perfect.

       B.Obstacles and difficulties contribute to success.

       C.Never help a butterfly to get out of the cocoon.

       D.A butterfly can never fly without going through the cocoon
