答案
A
解析
这是一篇介绍美国老兵纪念日(也称荣军纪念日)的短文。第一句话之后,作者接着讲这一天是专门留出来(set aside)向在所有战争以及和平时代(during peacetime)里曾为国服役(served their country)的男女军人(military men and women)表示敬意的。这一天最开始被称作(was first called)停战日。这一天表示(signaled)第一次世界大战结束了。有35个国家在那场战争中参战(fought in that war)。11月11日11时停战协定签订了(signed),这意味着(this meant)战争结束了。许多国家的人民因此欣喜若狂 (joyous)。短文第二段讲的是美国阿灵顿国家公墓里的一座无名(unidentified)士兵墓。这座坟墓坐落在山坡上(on a hillside)。这位士兵的坟墓(grave)被称为“无名士兵墓”。坟墓的地点(the site of the tomb)也是美国政府每年在老兵纪念日举行(holds)仪式 (ceremonies)的地方。同一天,一名法国士兵和一名英国士兵也分别(each)被埋进他们各自的国土(their own countries)上,以对战争结束给予特殊的纪念(give special recognition to)。1954年,美国国会把这一天由停战日改为老兵纪念日(changed the name of the day from…to…)。注意:考生在做完形填空题时,可根据短文的大意,在选项中寻找一些关键词或与大意相关联的词。这些词往往就是答案。比如,这篇短文谈的是战争,因此,与战争相关的实词如military军事的,served服役,fought打仗,signed签订,grave坟墓,holds举行,ceremonies仪式,recognition纪念,就可能是答案。
