Question

    Some young soldiers(士兵) who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting in the open air, near their camp. One of the things they were shown was how an unarmed(没有装备的) man could take the enemy's weapon (武器) away from him. First, two of their instructors(指导者) took a knife away from the other, using only his hands, and then he took a gun away from him in the same way.

In the next lesson, the soldiers were trained to do something else. Before the new training began, the third instructor asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown in the last lesson. One of the questions was this, "Well, you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a gun. Now imagine that you have a gun and now you are in defense of a bridge for its safety. Suddenly, you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you. What will you do?"

A young soldier, Thomas, who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds and then said, “Well, after what I have just seen, I think        so that the unarmed enemy soldier can't take it away from me and kill me with it."

【解析】

文章讲述的是一些刚入伍的新兵在进行训练，第一天他们学习了如何将敌人的武器抢夺过来；第二天在学习新课时，教官先复习了上节课的内容，在回答教官的问题时，一个士兵的答案让人哭笑不得。

1.词义猜测题。guarding“保卫”；crossing“通过”；challenging“挑战”。根据语境 “Now imagine that you have a gun and now you are in defense of a bridge for its safety.” “现在想象一下你有一支枪，你在……一座桥的安全”，由句意和句中的safety可知，这里说的是“保卫桥的安全”，in defense of意为“保卫”，与guarding同义，故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据短文开头 “Some young soldiers(士兵) who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting in the open air, near their camp.”可知，士兵们在露天进行训练。故选B。

3.推理判断题。短文第一段中 “First, two of their instructors(指导者)”提到了两个指导者；第二段提到了 “the third instructor”第三个指导者，因此训练士兵的指导者至少有三个，故选C。根据短文开头 “Some young soldiers(士兵) who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting in the open air, near their camp.”可知A不对；根据第二段 “Before the new training began, the third instructor asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown in the last lesson.”可知B不对。

4.推理判断题。根据第一段 “First, two of their instructors(指导者) took a knife away from the other, using only his hands, and then he took a gun away from him in the same way.”可知，两个指导者给士兵们示范如何从敌人手里抢夺武器，A符合文意，故选A。根据第三段 “A young soldier, Thomas, who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds and then said”可知，Thomas不是主动要回答问题的，故B不对；他想了几秒钟，不是几分钟，故C不对。

5.推理判断题。根据文意可知，士兵们头一天学习了如何从敌人手里抢夺武器，这节课里，指导者问的问题是“如果你手里有一支枪，一个没有武器的人朝你走来，你会怎么做？”，按照上节课的学习，为了不让对方抢走自己的武器，士兵会想到带着武器赶紧跑，这可能是士兵的回答。故选C。
