牛刀小试

After researching the history of the Vietnam War, I called my mum and asked her if she knew anyone who went to Vietnam that I could interview. She thought for a while and suddenly remembered that she has a cousin who is a veteran of the Vietnam War.

She says, “I know him since I was little. He was one of the greatest athletes of the school. You can not imagine how good and fast he was. Well, he was ranked number 18 in the country for being an outstanding track and field runner. But now, those things are only memories.”

I called him and introduced myself. He was in an agreeable mood at the beginning, but as soon as I began to question him, his attitude changed. “What happened in Vietnam?” I asked. There was a moment of silence on the other line, and then he said he was willing to tell me about Vietnam.

He said that he was drafted when he was 20 years old and that the two years later he spent there a part of his life he would rather forget. He said, “The problem is that you will never imagine how much suffering and pain I saw in that place.” There is not one book or article that can really describe the human disaster that took place there. There is nothing worse in this world than killing a man who you know has a family. It is very sad, but it is the truth, and it turns more complex when you realize you were part of that truth.

When I returned to Puerto Rico, it was a total disaster: young kids without fathers, wives without husbands. Most of those who made it back have no legs, like me, or no arms. I was praised because of my bravery, but for me, that was and is pure nonsense, because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who has nothing.

The thing that bothers me the most is that the people who decided to fight will probably never know that it is likely to kill a man, or feel pain and suffering from hunger and the absence of love. In war, every minute you are fearing because the only thing you have in your mind is that if you don’t kill first you are going to get killed.

66.Why did the author’s mother say “Those things are only memories”?

A. Because she would rather keep what happened in the past as a secret.

B. Because her cousin is no longer a vigorous young man.

C. Because though her cousin was a good runner, he lost his leg during the war.

D. Because time passed quickly and she can’t remember much of the past days.

67.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the 4th paragraph?

A. Books and articles all presented a false picture of the war.

B. It takes mental strength to survive the war.

C. The sufferings during the war greatly damaged the memory of soldiers,

D. The author’s uncle felt very painful when he realized the truth of the war.

68.Why did the author’s uncle find the praises “pure nonsense”?

A. Because praises came too late.

B. Because no praise could make up for his loss.

C. Because he didn’t kill anyone during the war.

D. Because too many praises seemed worthless.

69.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Those who decide to fight should take part in the war by themselves.

B. The veterans could stand any hardship in their life after the war.

C. Those who made the war should be severely blamed.

D. Firing first is the best policy on the battlefield.

真相大白

66.C 67.D 68.B 69.C

步步为赢

66.本题为推断题，作者的母亲在回忆了自己的cousin在年轻的时候身体健壮并且擅长各种体育运动，然后感叹“Those things are only memories”，根据后文我们可以知道这个越南战争的退役老兵失去了双腿，所以以前年轻时健壮的身体再也没有了。故可以选择C选项。

67.本题为概括题，在倒数第二段退役老兵讲到自己直到亲身经历了越南战争才发现战争是如何地残酷，这是其他任何书上都没有描述过的，亲身体验带给他强烈的真实感受。故选D。

68.本题为细节题，定位原文“because that war decided my future, decided the future of my family. I, now, am just a veteran who has nothing”作者对老兵的肯定与赞扬弥补不了他的伤痛和损失.选B。

69.本题为推断题，最后一段讲到决定发动这场战争的人肯定没有想过战争给人们带了的伤害多么沉重，谴责发起战争的决定者。故选C。
