Kate was apt to judge her male colleagues by their behaviour when shooting. Masters could never bear
to be outscored by her and seldom was. The qualifying shoot was not intended to be competitive;
officers were supposed to be concerned only with their own achievement. But Masters had never been
able to resist a quick glance at her score and had made no attempt at generosity if she outscored him.
To him success at the shooting range had been an affirmation of masculinity. He had been brought up
with guns and had found it intolerable that a woman, and one with Kate's urban background, could
handle a weapon effectively. Daniel Aaron, on the other hand, had seen the practice shoots as a
necessary part of the job and had cared little whether he scored higher than Kate provided he qualified.
Paul Tarrant, who had succeeded him three months earlier, had already shown himself a better shot
than either of his predecessors. She had yet to learn how much that mattered to him, how important it
was that she could still outscore him.
1. The text suggests ...
A/ Paul was the best shot of all.
B/ Kate was a match to them all.
C/ Kate was the second best shot of all.
D/ Kate was outperformed only by Masters
2. Competition between the officers...
A/ was officially discouraged
B/ was formally encouraged
C/ could not be prevented by formal means
D/ was inevitably sharpened by the gender
3. At the shooting range, Kate...
A/ took some interest in her colleagues' performance
B/ was insensitive to her colleagues' feelings
C/ displayed more ambition than at least one of her colleagues
D/ was primarily interested in qualifying
4. Daniel...
A/ unofficially declined competitiveness in shooting
B/ can be said to be less ambitious than Masters
C/ may have considered shooting to be irrelevant
D/ was vitally interested in his performance at the range

Communism in fact proved not the opposite of Nazism, but its kindred spirit. In obedience to Stalin,
the German Communist party played Hitler’s game by helping to destroy the moderates, the Social
Democrats, in a tacit collaboration with Nazism that the Hitler-Stalin Pact of 1939 brought into the
open, and that made world war inevitable. In the last years of peace, living in Paris, Koestler came to
realize that Communism was essentially a religious rather than a political phenomenon; it was a new
faith based on Soviet mythology. The doctrine held that the ends justified the means, and that, he
concluded, was the root of its evil.
Liberated from the Party and in possession of inside knowledge of its workings, Koestler sat down to
write Darkness at Noon. He modeled his hero Rubashov on Bukharin and Radek and other victims of
Stalin’s recent and terrifying show trials. They were palpably not guilty of the accusations against
them but confessed nonetheless. An astounded world wondered why they had consented to their own
judicial murder. In Koestler’s account, the Party has higher but hidden reasons for demanding that
these men confess to crimes they could not have committed. Since by definition the Party can do no
wrong, their self-incrimination is a last service to it. “Die in silence” is a refrain running through the
novel. The reality was far simpler: These unfortunates were tortured and their wives and families
victimized because a paranoid Stalin saw them as rivals. Nonetheless this imaginative depiction of
Communism in practice proved more powerful than any number of polemics, and soon gave Koestler
his international reputation.
5. Koestler's opposition to Communism was based on his...
A/ ethics B/ religion C/ biography D/ knowledge of history
6. Koestler was able to expose Communism by ...
A/ alerting the public to the show trials
B/ revealing the true motives behind the purges
C/ his credibility as a former sympathizer
D/ the artistic strength of his narrative
7. The text suggests that the German communists...
A/ had a secret agreement with Hitler prior to 1939
B/ could have prevented the war
C/ welcomed the Stalin-Hitler pact
D/ shared some political objectives with Nazism
8. In comparison to its real-life version, Rubashov's story was somehow...
A/ demonized B/ romanticized C/ brutalized D/ simplified
9. In his novel, Koestler shows the victims as ...
A/ stripped of their faith
B/ too weak to bear suffering
C/ ready for the ultimate sacrifice
D/ caring for their families

table.
