Would you risk your life for a country that considered you a second-class citizen? Would you join a military that asked you to risk sacrificing your life but separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin? That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did. They were brave, intelligent, African-American men and women who fought for the United States in World war II.
In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt agreed to allow African Americans to fly airplanes in the military. Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops. The first African American airmen reported for duty in 1941. They began their training outside of Tuskegee, Alabama. The soldiers were completely separated by race and the two races could not communicate. About 450 African American pilots finished the training. These men were the original Tuskegee Airmen.
The Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record. They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting(护航). When the war was over in 1945, the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes. But when they returned to America, they were appalled to find out that they were still treated like second-class citizens. They faced the same segregation(种族隔离)and discrimination(歧视)as they had before they began their training.
Frederick Henry, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, lives in Detroit, Michigan. Because he was from the North, he would often forget the segregation rules of the South. Once, Henry was on a bus alone with a white bus driver. Soon, after the two had talked for a while, a wave of other passengers came on the bus. A problem arose when some white passengers were still standing, which was against the rules. Henry was put off the bus, even though he was the first person to board the bus and had paid his fare.
One thing did change, however. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order prohibiting segregation in the military. Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were officially thanked for their amazing efforts in the war.
According to be the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?
选项
A、In World War II , they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.
B、They were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.
C、They were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.
D、They were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began.
答案
A
解析
本题是细节题。题目问下面哪项关于塔斯克基飞行员的说法是正确的。根据定位句“他们从没有损失过任何一架他们护航的轰炸机”,故选A。其他三项很明显都是错误的。
