Question

【題目】November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States. A "veteran" is anyone who has served in the armed forces. The term "veteran" is not just for those who have served in wars. It describes anyone who has ever been in the army.

On November11, people hold ceremonies(儀式) and parades(游行) to mark Veterans Day. Public officials take part in the events. Army bands play. And soldiers fire guns into the air to remember those who died in service to their country.

The history of Veterans Day relates to World War I. Many people at the time called it "the war to end all wars." The United States entered the fighting in Europe in 1917. Over 13 million men and women were reported for duty in the army. World War I ended at 11 o'clock in the morning on November 11, 1918. The following year, President Woodrow Wilson signed an official statement to celebrate November 11th as Armistice Day in the United States. It would be a day to honor the men and women who had served in the U.S. armed forces during the war. In 1926, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday.

But new problems were on the way. Soon, everyone knew that World War I would not be the war to end all wars. In all, more than 4,000,000 Americans served in the armed forces during the first World War. And 16 million would serve during the second one.

Armistice Day in 1945 was a special day in the United States. Germany had surrendered in May 1945 and Japan in August. Most men and women who had served in the war were home. So, instead of honoring just veterans of World War I, Americans also honored veterans of World War II. In 1954, Congress decided to change the name of Armistice Day. The holiday became Veterans Day.

根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，推斷合理信息。推理題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎(chǔ)上，作出一定判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話，也可是某幾句話，但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù)，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理，也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是說(shuō)，要做到判斷有據(jù), 推論有理, 忠實(shí)原文。切忌用自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面結(jié)論。

【4】C

主旨大意題。全文主要講述了退伍軍人節(jié)的由來(lái)。在1919年總統(tǒng)簽署了聲明即11月11日為美國(guó)停戰(zhàn)日。這一天是向在美國(guó)軍隊(duì)服役期間服役的男男女女表示尊敬的日子。1926，國(guó)會(huì)將停戰(zhàn)日定為國(guó)定假日。在這一天美國(guó)人不但紀(jì)念第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的老兵，還表彰二戰(zhàn)老兵。在1954，國(guó)會(huì)決定更改停戰(zhàn)日的名稱(chēng)為退伍軍人節(jié)。由知可知最好的題目就是退伍軍人節(jié)，軍隊(duì)的節(jié)日。故選C。

【解析】本文為歷史知識(shí)。本文主要介紹了美國(guó)退伍軍人節(jié)（老兵節(jié)）的由來(lái)。在1919年總統(tǒng)簽署了聲明即11月11日為美國(guó)停戰(zhàn)日。這一天是向在美國(guó)軍隊(duì)服役期間服役的男男女女表示尊敬的日子。1926，國(guó)會(huì)將停戰(zhàn)日定為國(guó)定假日。在1954，國(guó)會(huì)決定更改停戰(zhàn)日的名稱(chēng)為退伍軍人節(jié)。

【1】C

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“November 11 is Veterans Day in the United States. A "veteran" is anyone who has served in the armed forces.”可知，凡是在軍隊(duì)中服過(guò)役的人都被尊稱(chēng)為退伍軍人。第三段中的“November 11th as Armistice Day in the United States. It would be a day to honor the men and women who had served in the U.S. armed forces during the war. In 1926, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday.”。11月11日為美國(guó)停戰(zhàn)日。這一天是向在美國(guó)軍隊(duì)服役期間服役的男男女女表示尊敬的日子。分析句意可知C項(xiàng)符合題意，故選C。

【2】A

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“World War I ended at 11 o'clock in the morning on November 11, 1918. The following year, President Woodrow Wilson signed an official statement to celebrate November 11th as Armistice Day in the United States. It would be a day to honor the men and women who had served in the U.S. armed forces during the war 1926, Congress made Armistice Day a national holiday.�！笨芍�總統(tǒng)為了慶祝11月11昌為美國(guó)停戰(zhàn)日，在這一天向在美國(guó)軍隊(duì)服役期間服役的男男女女表示尊敬的日子。最后一段最后一句“In 1954, Congress decided to change the name of Armistice Day. The holiday became Veterans Day.” 1954，國(guó)會(huì)決定更改停戰(zhàn)日的名稱(chēng)。假期成了退伍軍人節(jié)。由此可知這是退伍軍人節(jié)的由來(lái)。故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】D

【解題剖析】此題屬于推理判斷題中的（4）根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，推斷合理信息。答案需要從文章的根據(jù)第四段中最后兩句“In all, more than 4,000,000 Americans served in the armed forces during the first World War. And 16 million would serve during the second one.”進(jìn)行推斷。

【答案定位】根據(jù)第四段中最后兩句“In all, more than 4,000,000 Americans served in the armed forces during the first World War. And 16 million would serve during the second one.”可知，在一戰(zhàn)中美國(guó)有四百萬(wàn)人入伍，而參加二戰(zhàn)的則有一千六百萬(wàn)美國(guó)人參戰(zhàn)。由此可知二戰(zhàn)中參加的士兵比一戰(zhàn)多很多

【推理關(guān)系】題干What can we learn from the passage?.文章內(nèi)容more than 4,000,000 Americans served in the armed forces during the first World War. And 16 million would serve during the second one
