问题 Thousands of years ago, royalty of diverse cultures were often buried in extremely lavish tombs that they themselves commissioned in preparation for their inevitable deaths. About 2,200 years ago, a Chinese emperor named Qin Shihuang had such a tomb prepared. At the age of thirteen, Qin Shihuang had succeeded his father as emperor. The boy was very aggressive and ambitious. He assumed full power at the age of 22 by ridding himself of his rival, a man who had controlled the throne while Qin Shihuang was a minor. Qin Shihuang’s goal was to unify and subjugate all of the Chinese states using his powerful political, economic, and military strength. Despite an ongoing quest for immortality, Qin Shihuang died while traveling at the age of 49. Although he has been dead for centuries, historians can continue to learn of his life by studying the artifacts found in the extravagant tomb in which he was laid to rest. [br] According to the passage, Qin Shihuang can best be described as
选项 A、benevolent
B、modest
C、spontaneous
D、insightful
E、ruthless
答案 E
解析 The best answer is E. The adjectives used to describe Qin Shihuang include "aggressive" and "ambitious." He is also said to have attempted to "subjugate" all of the Chinese states by force. All of these descriptions support choice E.
