Question

A very strict officer was talking to some new soldiers whom he had to train. He had never seen them before, so began, “My name is Stone, and I’m even harder than stone, so do what I tell you or there’ll be trouble. Don’t try any tricks (詭計(jì)) with me, and then we’ll get on well together.”

   Then he went to each soldier one after the other and asked him his name, “Speak loudly so that everyone can hear you clearly,” he said, “and don’t forget to call me ‘sir’.”

   Each soldier told him name, until he came to the last one. This man remained silent and so Captain Stone shouted at him, “when I ask you a question, answer it! I’ll ask you again: “What’s your name, soldier?”

   The soldier was very unhappy, but at last he replied,“My name’s Stonebreaker, sir,”he said nervously (緊張地).

試題分析：本文講述了教官和士兵關(guān)于名字問題的幽默小故事。

1.細(xì)節(jié)題。從文中第一段第二句可得出答案，誰不按照教官說的做就會(huì)有麻煩，故選A。

2.從文中第一段可知教官姓名是Stone說自己比石頭還堅(jiān)硬，而士兵的名字確是 Stonebreaker，所以士兵擔(dān)心教官生氣,故選B。
