题目内容
【题目】I was at a dinner in London given in honor of one of the most celebrated English military (军事的)men of his time. I do not want to tell you his real name and titles. I will just call him Lieutenant General Lord Arthur Scoresby.
I cannot describe my excitement when I saw this great and famous man. There he sat, the man himself, in person, all covered with medals. I could not take my eyes off him. He seemed to show the true mark of greatness. His fame had no effect on him. The hundreds of eyes watching him, the admiration of so many people, did not seem to make any difference to him.
Next to me sat a clergyman(牧师), who was an old friend of mine. He was not always a clergyman. During the first half of his life he was a teacher in the military school at Woolwich. There was a strange look in his eye as he turned to me and said in a low voice-"privately-he is a complete fool." He meant, of course, the hero of our dinner.
This came as a shock to me. I looked hard at my friend. I could not have been more surprised if he had said the same thing about Napoleon, or Socrates, or Solomon. But I was sure of two things about the clergyman. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good. Therefore, I wanted to find out more about our hero as soon as I could.
Some days later I got a chance to talk with the clergyman, and he told me more.

【1】C
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But I was sure of two things about the clergyman. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good.”。有两点我是清楚的:这位牧师说话句句真实可靠;而且他很有知人之明。根据句意可知,作者认为这位牧师的话可能是真的。分析选项可知C项是正确的。
【2】A
推理判断题。根据第二段听最后一句“"Privately – he is a complete fool." He meant, of course, the hero of our dinner.” 但却是满有把握地对我说:“私下说---他是个头号大傻瓜。”和第三段的“But I was sure of two things about the clergyman. He always spoke the truth. And, his judgment of men was good.”。有两点我是清楚的:这位牧师说话句句真实可靠;而且他很有知人之明。分析这两个可推断出的结论:可能这个英雄也许不是真英雄。可知A正确。
【3】B
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some days later I got a chance to talk with the clergyman, and he told me more.” 过了些日子,机会来到了。这位牧师告诉了我很多关于这位英雄的事情。故B正确
