Question

Horror seized the heart of the World War Ⅰ soldier as he saw his life-long friend fall in the battle．Caught in a trench(战壕)with continuous gunfire whizzing(发出呼啸声) over his head，the soldier asked his captain if he might go out into the“No Man's Land”between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back．

“You can go,” said the captain，“but I don't think it will be worth it．Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away．”The captain's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway．

To one's surprise，he managed to reach his friend，raised him onto his shoulder，and brought him back to their company's trench．As the two of them fell in together to the bottom of the trench，the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend．“I told you it wouldn't be worth it,” he said．“Your friend is dead，and your wound is deadly．”“It was worth it，though，sir．”the soldier said．“How do you mean‘worth it’?”responded the captain．“Your friend is dead!”“Yes sir．”the soldier answered．“But it was worth it because when I got to him，he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say，‘Jim，I knew you'd come．’”

Many a time in life，whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it．Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life．

Answer 1

56．C由文章的第1段第1句“Horror seized heart of the World warⅠsoldier．．．”可知，这位士兵看到自己亲密的战友中弹倒下的第一反应是horror(恐惧)。

57．B根据全文的描述和常识，这位士兵应该是冲到危险的两军对垒的未被占领的交火地点。故B项为正确答案。

58．D由文章第2段中的句子“‘You can go，’said the captain，‘but I don't think it will be worth it．Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away ’”和第3段的“I told you it wouldn’t be worth it”及“Your friend is dead”可知这位士兵的长官自始至终都不赞成这位战士的做法，更不赞成作无谓的牺牲。故D项为正确答案。

59．A由文章最后一段的“．．．really depends on how you look at it”和“．．．do something your heart tells you to do．．．”可知当我们对一件事无法作出选择时，我们要跟着我们的心走，仔细倾听内心的声音，才能作出一个无悔的选择。
