6.In the year 480BC the Greek allies (聯(lián)軍) faced invasion by the King of Persia,Xerxes,who commanded a huge army of about half a million men.When the Persian army marched into northern Greece,the Greek states,led by Athens and Sparta,were ill equipped to deal with the threat.The Persians were well supplied with food and weapons.Their army included infantry,cavalry,and a large navy.It seemed that they would easily defeat the Greeks.
The Greek allies decided to send 10,000men northwards to slow down the Persians,while the rest prepared to defend their homelands.A group of 300best Spartan soldiers were chosen to lead the force going north,with Leonidas in command.Leonidas realized that the only hope of slowing the Persians would be to block the narrow passage of land at Thermopylae.The Pass of
Thermopylae was the route between the mountains and the sea,and was so narrow that only a few men could get through at a time.
When the Persian army arrived at Thermopylae,they found Leonidas'tiny army opposing them.The Persians attacked,but could not get through.They attacked again and again,but each time they were driven back by the Greeks,led by the fearless Spartans.Leonidas'plan worked well until a Greek traitor called Ephialtes went m Xerxes.He told the Persian king about a goat's path in the mountains that would take the Persian army past Thermopylae.When Leonidas saw the enemy crossing the mountains,he realized that he could no longer hold Thermopylae.He sent all the Greek soldiers except the 300Spartans back to their homelands.
The Spartans waited for the 500,000Persians at the goat's path.Although hopelessly outnumbered,the Spartans fought bravely.They all died,but the other Greeks were able to get home to strengthen the defenses.

61.Compared with the Persian army,the Greek allies were veryC.
A.powerful        B.wise           C.weak          D.foolish
62.The Pass of Thermopylae was very important for the Greeks becauseA
A.it was easy to hold but hard to attack
B.only very small boats could get through it
C,it was a secret pass unknown to the Persians
D.a(chǎn) huge number of soldiers could be stationed there
63.Why did Leonidas send most of his soldiers back to their homelands?D
A.Because their homelands were under attack.
B.Because he found they were not brave enough.
C.Because the Persians gave up attacking Thermopylae.
D.Because he found it impossible to hold Thermopylae.
64.Which of the following is NOT ture according to the passage?B
A.Leonidas was a great commander.
B.The Persians failed to pass Thermopylae.
C.Ephialtes betrayed his own country.
D.The 300Spatans would be regarded as heroes by the Greeks.
65.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?B
A.The Greek Allies      B.The Goat's Path
