30、ench were at war through the 18th century.There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry (敌对) between the two nations.

31、so showed that twenty-one percent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health

32、 to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations.

37、ents(小分队) who came to fight at Troy. Before unfolding this impressive muster roll (花名册)，Homer makes a special, public appeal to the Muses to ensure he gets the facts right:Tell me now, Muses, who have your homes on Olympus- for you are goddesses, and ever-present, and know all things, and we hear on

38、ly rumour: nor do we know anythingThese lines reflect a central claim of epic poetrythat through the inspiration of the Muses, daughters of Memory, it can preserve the knowledge of people and the events of the past a formidable power in the non-literate, oral cultures in which the Iliad evolved. The

39、 Iliad was composed around 750-700 BC, but its origins lie at least some five centuries earlier, deep in the Mycenaean Bronze Age-the world the Iliad poetically evokes.The Iliad is keenly aware of its role as the keeper of memory, and credibility is central to its storytelling. The epic is a work of

40、 fiction, and relates the events of a few weeks in the tenth and final year of the Trojan War fought between Greeks and Trojans over beautiful Helen, the Greek queen who deserted her husband to elope with a Trojan prince. Its cast of characters includes not only warriors and their captives and famil

43、 done his best to make the men in the Iliad gods and gods men. The scene between Achilles and Priam displays this inversion and crystallises what the Iliad poets had learned in the course of the epics Journey. That the gods we worship might not answer, and on occasion humanity must rise to fill thei

44、r place. That glory is closely associated with painful loss. That the victor shares the humanity of the most vulnerable of the vanquished（战败者）; that there is no such thing as pure victory in war.1、The Iliad about the legendary Trojan War, might date back to _.Athe third century BC Bthe seventh centu

45、ry BCCthe eighth century BC Dthe thirteenth century BC2、According to the passage,_.Abeing reliable is essential to the storytelling of the IliadBTrojan War between Greeks and Trojans lasted over a decadeCTrojan War ended owning to the Olympian gods absenceDbeautiful Helen is a woman worth respecting

47、 statements doesnt agree with the authors idea?APure victory in war does not exist at all.BGlory is naturally accompanied with saddening loss.CThe victor gains everything without any emotional loss.DBoth the victor and the vanquished share the same humanity.25（10分）Although most hitchhikers (搭便车的人) are people, passers-by tend
