Moses Mendelssohn, the grandfather of the well-known German composer(作曲家), was far from being handsome. Along with a rather short stature(身材), he had a hunchback(駝背) .
One day he visited a merchant in Hamburg who had a lovely daughter named Frumtje. Moses fell hopelessly in love with her. But Moses was refused by his ugly appearance
When it was time for him to leave, Moses picked up his courage and climbed the stairs to
her room to take one last chance to speak with her. She was a heavenly beauty, but caused him deep sadness by her refusal to look at him. After several attempts at conversation, Moses shyly asked, “Do you believe marriages are made in heaven？”
“Yes, ”She answered, still looking at the floor. “And do you？”
“Yes I do, ”He replied. “You see, in heaven at the birth of each boy, the God announces which
girl he will marry. When I was born, my future bride(新娘) was pointed out to me. Then the God added, ‘But your wife will be humpbacked. ’”“Right then and there I called out, ‘Oh God, a humpbacked woman would be a tragedy(不幸). Please, God, give me the hump and let her be beautiful. ’”
Then Frumtje looked up into his eyes and was stirred by some deep memory. She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife.
小題1:At first Moses was refused by Frumtje because_______.
A．he had a bad intention
B．he was not handsome and humpbacked
C．he had no courage to express himself
D．he was a hopeless man
小題2:Frumtje accepted Moses’ request in the end because of_______.

小題4:The writer of the passage intends to try to tell us _______.
A．how to run after e a girlB．a(chǎn) marriage in heaven
C．a(chǎn) moving love storyD．What true love is.
 
小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:D

小題1:本題考查理解文章細(xì)節(jié)信息的能力。由第一段 “…was far from being handsome. Along with a rather short stature(身材), he had a hunchback(駝背) .”和第二段“But Moses was refused by his ugly appearance.”可知答案為B。
小題2:本題考查根據(jù)文章細(xì)節(jié)信息進(jìn)行簡單推理的能力。由他們的對話可知Moses是一個的人, 外表雖然丑陋,但心地善良,真誠執(zhí)著, 這也是打動Frumtje之處。
小題3:本題考查根據(jù)上下文信息判斷詞語含義的能力。由下文 “She reached out and gave Mendelssohn her hand and later became his devoted wife.”可知推出的意思為 “使激動,是感動”。（記憶深處的某些東西把她深深打動了, 她伸出手, 答應(yīng)了門德爾松的求婚。后來, 成為了他忠誠的妻子。）
小題4:本題考查根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容判斷作者寫作意圖的能力。本文通過這個故事告訴我們什么是真愛: 真愛是一種犧牲, 是一種奉獻(xiàn)。真正的愛情就是真，它沒有怨言，沒有花言巧語，一切都是真切的讓你感動。

C
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.
小題1:Tolstoy’s description of Napoleon in War and Peace is _________.
A．far from the historical factsB．based on the Russian history
C．based on his selection of factsD．not related to historical details
小題2:Napoleon was angry when receiving the Russian representative because _________.
A．he thought he should be the one to make the peace terms
B．the Tsar's peace terms were hard to accept
C．the Russians stopped his military movement
D．he didn’t have any more army to fight with
小題3: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.
小題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 will
C．determined in destroying all of EuropeD．crazy for power and respect
小題5:What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A．A writer doesn’t have to be faithful to his findings.
B．A writer may write about a hero in his own way.
C．A writer may not be responsible for what he writes.
D．A writer has hardly any freedom to show his feelings.

People unhappy with the rich: Poll
There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll. The poll by the China Youth Daily in collaboration(與…合作) with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent (不滿)over the country’s widening income gap. Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe society’s rich, the top responses were "extravagant"(奢侈的), "greedy" and "corrupt".About 57 percent of those polled said that "extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by "greedy".Ironically, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people should be "socially responsible".Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being "smart".Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor".A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China’s Gini coefficient - an indicator of the wealth divide - rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.
An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.The country’s income disparity(懸殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in January, said.
