阅读理解。 Napoleon, as a character in Tolstoy's War and Peace, is more than once described as having"fatlittle 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
littleFrenchman. 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 acharacter.And it turns out that,as Tolstoy
has it,Napoleon is acrazy man. In a scene in Book Three of War and Peace, the war shaving reached
the critical year of 1812, Napoleon receives arepresentative from the Tsar(沙皇),who bas come with
peaceterms. Napoleon is very angry:doesn't he have more army?He,notthe Tsar,is the one to make
the terms. He will destroy all of Europeif his army is stopped. "Thhat 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,hisfat shoulders moving quickly".
Still later, after reviewing his army amid cheering crowds, Napoleon invites the shaken Russian to
dinner."He raised his handto the Russian's face,"Tolstoy writes,and"taking him by the earpulled it
gently…"To have one's ear pulled by the Emperor wasconsidered the greatest honor and mark of
favor at the French court."Well,well,why don't you say anything?"said he,as if it wasridiculous in his
presence to respect any one but himself, Napoleon.

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
