阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Leaders shape history and here is a selection of the most remarkable views into these public figures plus first-hand accounts by those with access to them. Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)
Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher. Moore’s account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power.
Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)
Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson’s final phase as prime minister in 1974. Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)
Jenkins writes a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchill’s historic
moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did. Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)
Campbell calmly narrates the many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins’ intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins’ various affairs with women. Like Jenkins’s political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.
Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017)
Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, and not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is an incredibly detailed book on what it’s like to live inside No. 10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media. 21. Which writer was once a politician? A. Ben Pimlott. B. Charles Moore. C. John Campbell. D. Roy Jenkins.
22. Which of the following leaders has the largest number of books written about them?
A. Margaret Thatcher. B. Harold Wilson C. Churchill. D. Tony Blair.
23. What’s purpose of the author’s writing the passage? A. To introduce some histories on selections. B. To think highly of some famous leaders. C. To tell some mysteries about historians. D. To recommend some books on leaders.
B
Sometimes we experience pain that seems just too big to feel, too frightening to face - it looks like a tsunami. So, we run. My tsunami came when I was nine years old.
