查看习题详情和答案>>In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials _______.
A. were scared and at a loss what to do
B. looked worried and turned to Su Dai for help
C. asked a large enemy force to bear down upon the border
D. were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back
The underlined phrase“sue for”in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A. demand B. beg for C. search for D. negotiate for
Su Dai used the example of“carrying faggots to put out a fire”to show _______.
A. the ambition of the State of Qin
B. the serious results of giving in
C. the loss of the land of the State of Wei
D. the trembling consequences of defense
The story is mainly developed by _______.
A. time B. logic C. making comparison D. cause and effect

查看习题详情和答案>>We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests’ coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because she’s the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, “What are you doing, my dear?”
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why don’t people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because I’m not pretty? Is that why they don’t say nice things about me as much?”
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend’s home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
The underlined expression make a big to do over (paragraph 4) means _____.
A. show much concern about B. have a special effect on
C. list jobs to be done for D. do good things for
The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her _____.
A. beautiful hair B. pretty clothes
C. lovely smile D. young age
Kristen felt sad and cried because _____.
the guest gave her more coats to carry
she didn’t look as pretty as Kelly
the guests praised her sister more than her
her mother didn’t introduce her to the guests
We can conclude from the passage that _____.
parents should pay more attention to the elder children
the younger children are usually more easily hurt
people usually like the younger children more
adults should treat children equally
