问题 The passage as a whole can best be characterized as which of the following?
The author of the passage quotes the White officer in lines 23-24 primarily in order to provide evidence to support the contention that______
选项 A、virtually all White officers initially had hostile attitudes toward Black soldiers
B、Black soldiers were often forced to defend themselves from physical attacks initiated by soldiers from White units
C、the combat performance of Black units changed the attitudes of White soldiers toward Black soldiers
D、White units paid especially careful attention to the performance of Black units in battle
E、respect in the army as a whole was accorded only to those units, whether Black or White, that performed well in battle
答案C
解析 The best answer is C. Lines 20-22 assert that the combat performance of Black units “won increasing respect from initially skeptical or hostile White soldiers.” To support the assertion that the performance of the Black units changed White soldiers’ attitudes toward them, the author of the passage then quotes a comment made by one of those White officers about the Black units: “they fought their way into the respect of all the army” (line 22-24). The passage makes no assertions about whether “virtually all White officers” were hostile (choice A).; or about whether White units either physically attacked Black units (choice B) or paid particular attention to the performance of Black units (choice E). Nor does it address the relationship “in the army as a whole” between a unit’s performance and the respect accorded it (choice E).
