16、ook place in Virginia in the spring of 1863. For months, the two armies had been staying on opposite banks of a narrow river. The Confederate（南方联盟） troops were led by perhaps (21) _ (honored) military tactician（战略家） in American history, General Robert E. Lee. The Union （北方联盟）soldiers were led by “Fi

17、ghting” Joe Hooker. In appearance, personality, and lifestyle, these men were nearly perfect opposites. Lee, an older man in poor health with a gray beard, had a solemn, measured character. Hooker was a blond, broad-shouldered young man (22) _ pride over his appearance was but one aspect of his self

18、-centeredness. Whereas Lee was loyal and principled, Hooker was known for his rollicking enjoyment of both women and whiskey. Despite the fact that the Confederacy (23) _ (win) the last four major battles and the Union soldiers were starving, (24) _ (exhaust), and demoralized, Hooker proclaimed, “My

19、 plans are perfect. And when I start to carry them out, (25) _ God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for I shall have none.” Why was Hooker so confident? Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lees army. He had already been aware, for example

20、, (26) _ Lee had only 61,000 men to Hookers own 134,000. Supported by his superior numbers, Hooker secretly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves (27) _ Lees army. In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate s

21、oldiers in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lees only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus (28) _ (assure) a Union victory. Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat. Instead, he moved his troops

22、 into position to attack. Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive (29) _ (dismiss) as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but (30) _ (retreat), Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lees army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating

23、supper, completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lees troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn. Against all odds, Lee won the Battle of Chancellorsville, and Hookers forces withdrew in defeat. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word

First aid treatment for this condition includes having the victim lie down, (35) _ the feet 8 to 12 inche

27、s, applying cool, wet cloths to the skin, and giving the victim sips of salt water (1 teaspoon per glass, half a glass every 15 minutes) over a 1-hour period.Heat stroke is much more serious; it is a(n) (36) _ life-threatening situation. The characteristics of heat stroke are a high body temperature

28、 (which may reach 106 F or more); a rapid pulse; hot, dry skin; and a blocked sweating (37) _. Victims of this condition may be unconscious, and first-aid measures should be (38) _ at quickly cooling the body. The victim should be placed in a tub of cold water or (39) _ sponged with cool water until

29、 his or her temperature is sufficiently lowered. Fans or air conditioners will also help with the cooling (40) _. Care should be taken, however, not to over-chill the victim once the temperature is below 102 F. III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage th

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved（运转） around Eris, a concept by which they defined the universe. They believed that the world existed in a con

44、dition of opposites. If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then sorrow; war, then peace; and so on. The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as they arose. It was a kind of ease of liv

45、ing that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled mens lives. Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled, it was believed that bad Eris occurred when one ignored a problem,

46、letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person, but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess: Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as Trouble.One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis

47、. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal（凡人） whose child could never challenge the gods. He promises her, among other things, the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please. This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology
