Module 6 War and PeaceⅠ.阅读理解阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A peace treaty is a formal agreement between two or more countries that have formerly beenat war.The treaty is a contract designed to cease wars immediately or other requirements to ensure peace.Many of the most famous wars of history ended with a peace treaty.In moderntimes,complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple treaty.Wars are conducted by governments or other opposing bodies for a variety of reasons.When one force has superior combat strength,the war often ends with bloody conquest.When forces areevenly matched,or nearly so,fighting can last for months or years,with tremendous losses on both sides.In these cases,diplomacy often triumphs where strong force fails to resolve the conflict.A peace treaty is a common way for opposing forces to end wars and begin the process of rebuilding.In modern history,Paris has long been the site for the signing of peace treaties,as it is often a neutral (中立的) location.The American Revolution ended with the 1783 Paris Peace Treaty,while Napoleon acknowledged defeat with the Treaty of Paris in 1815.During the Indian wars of the 18th and 19th centuries,the American government got a bad prestige for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes,whichled to more battles.The Treaty of Versailles,which officially ended World War Ⅰ in 1919,imposed serious punishments on Germany,the defeated party.These punishments damaged the German economy and caused bitter anger among the German people.Many historians believe these conditions led to the rise of the Nazi party and the Second World War.In modern times,war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.The Vietnam War,the Korean Conflict,and France’s Algerian War ended with agreements that slowed combat gradually over a period of years rather than bringing an immediate peace.Modern war is a messy business that is difficult to control through such civilized measures as a signed contract.Nevertheless,diplomats work diligently to ensure that conflicts are resolved,one way or the other by eventual peace.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Wars will last for long when the combat strength of both sides is similar.B.World War Ⅰ in 1919 ended up with the sign of the Treaty of Versailles.C.German Nazi party rose because it was defeated during World War Ⅰ in 1919.D.T rue peace requires the diplomats’ diligent work and people’s awareness.2.What does the writer mainly tell us in Paragraph 4?A.A peace treaty is often ignored by the defeated side.B.Some countries don’t want to sign peace treaties.C.A peace treaty does not always mean the end of wars.D.The defeated side often suffers greatly from punishments.3.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.peace treaties are less effective in modern timesB.the stronger side suffers more during a warC.peace treaties are often signed by neutral countriesD.there are more conflicts or wars in modern times4.The underlined word in Paragraph 4 can be re placed by “”.A.powerB.experienceC.reputationD.influenceⅡ.完形填空阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
