Question

8．In 1943，when George Patton took over the duties of commander，he soon discovered that the discipline of the 2nd army was really poor．Then he gave the orders：all the officers and soldiers should be through with breakfast before 7：30； no one should be late for work in the morning； soldiers with moust ache should shave daily．He required that every soldier should wear the helmet and necktie．Patton also set up a punishment system．Officers would be fined 50 dollars and soldiers 25 dollars if they broke the rules．
Patton's rigorous measures brought great shock to the whole army at once．Three days later，the 2nd army staff brought open their dislike of Patton and soldiers complained strongly because the arrival of Patton put an end to their comfortable life．But Patton ignored this．
Further，he gave the order that"The military rank （軍銜） should be shown on the helmet"．A senior colonel （上校） believed that this rule meant to provide a firing target for the enemy．He argued with Patton，"I often go to the battleground．If I were dead，I could no longer serve you and my soldiers．"
Patton smiled after hearing that and said，"Colonel，get on my car and we'd have a tour on the front line．"When they reached there，the colonel found Patton's helmet，shoulders，collars and even the jeep all had three stars．As a result，the soldiers recognized the general in the jeep was Patton，so they laid down what was in the hand and stood at attention and showed respect to him，cheering．At this moment，Patton said to the colonel，"The soldiers depend on you leading them．They have to realize who their commander is．Commander ought to lead in front of the soldiers，even if it means to die．Then wear your military rank mark．"This colonel was completely convinced："You are correct，General．"
Just one week later，Patton achieved obvious effect．This fact proved Patton's statement that he was able to make any army in high spirits in less than a week．

28．What is the text mainly about？B
A．Patton's great organizing abilities．
B．Patton's effective management of army．
C．Patton's courage shown in the battlefield．
D．Patton's friendly relationship with soldiers．
29．The underlined word"rigorous"in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to"A"．
A．strict  B．simple   C．strange   D．effective
30．At first，what was the colonel's attitude to Patton's rule about helmets？
D
A．Tolerant．  B．Doubtful．  C．Uncaring．  D．Dissatisfied．
31．Why did Patton ask the colonel to go to the front with him？D
A．To test the colonel's courage．
B．To give the soldiers confidence．
C．To show his power over the army．
D．To explain the reasons for his rule．

Answer 1

分析 本文是記敘文．本文主要講述巴頓將軍從嚴(yán)治軍的故事．

解答 28--31 BADD
28．B．主旨大意題．巴頓將軍是二戰(zhàn)期間美國(guó)的著名將領(lǐng)．本文講的是他從嚴(yán)治軍、在一周內(nèi)迅速提高軍隊(duì)士氣的故事．B項(xiàng)準(zhǔn)確地概況了文章的主題． 故選B．
29．A．詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知，巴頓上任伊始，就開(kāi)始大刀闊斧地整頓軍紀(jì)，頒布了各種嚴(yán)格的規(guī)定和措施，故可推斷，rigorous與strict含義最接近．第二段中士兵的不滿情緒也是提示． 故選A．
30．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，巴頓規(guī)定軍銜必須在頭盔上顯示．這位上校認(rèn)為這意味著向敵人暴露目標(biāo)．也就是說(shuō)，軍官容易被敵人攻擊．由He argued with Patton可以推斷，他反對(duì)巴頓的這項(xiàng)規(guī)定，對(duì)此不滿． 故選D．
31．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第四段末巴頓的話可知，巴頓讓那位上校一起去前線是為了說(shuō)明為什么那樣規(guī)定．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 新聞一般采用"倒金字塔"式結(jié)構(gòu)（即先說(shuō)結(jié)果，再說(shuō)重要事實(shí)，最后說(shuō)次要內(nèi)容），但有的通訊敘述方比較靈活多變，有順敘、倒敘、中間或許還會(huì)有插敘、補(bǔ)敘等敘述方法，這就要求我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí)特別關(guān)注．必須在十分有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)運(yùn)用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時(shí)空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點(diǎn)，并且理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語(yǔ)篇實(shí)質(zhì)．
