18、:D解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,一战黑人士兵Henry Johnson的英勇行为在多年以后的今天才获得认可,奥巴马总统亲自颁发勋章。6.What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A.Johnson fought bravely without weapons.B.Johnson was too seriously wounded to fight on.C.Johnsons fellow soldiers thought highly of him.D.Johnson was awarded the Medal of Honor by France.
19、答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第二段可知,Johnson在枪里没有子弹以后还继续战斗,而不是没有武器徒手与敌人战斗,所以A项是错误的;Johnson受了20多处伤,但一直坚持战斗,所以B项是错误的;从第三段前半句里的praised by his fellow soldiers可知,C项是正确的;从后半句可知,the Medal of Honor是美国的一种勋章,法国授予Johnson的是the French Croix de Guerre,所以D项是错误的。7.How can we understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A.Peop
20、le had great difficulty in getting the government to recognize Johnson.B.The work of making the government recognize Johnson went very well.C.A great many people started the case of Johnson and then stopped.D.People made great efforts to get Johnson recognized but failed.答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据画线句子中的starts
21、and stops以及第六段可知,让Johnson得到官方认可这项工作困难重重,极其不顺利,所以A选项最符合题意。8.What on earth resulted in Johnsons being mistreated?A.Lack of evidence of his actions.B.Racial discrimination.C.His fighting for French military.D.No documentation of his injuries.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据第一段最后的“because of racial discrimination”以及第八段的
22、“As a black soldier”可看出,造成Johnson受到不公待遇的根本原因是种族歧视,故选B项。.七选五Maybe you are an average student.You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so,however.Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.Heres how:1.When planning your work,you should make a list of thi
