问题 The passage as a whole can best be characterized as which of the following?
The author implies that the title of Glatthaar’s book refers specifically to which of the following?

选项 A、The sense of pride and accomplishment that Black soldiers increasingly felt as a result of their Civil War experiences
B、The civil equality that African Americans achieved after the Civil War, partly as a result of their use of organizational skills honed by combat
C、The changes in discriminatory army policies that were made as a direct result of the performance of Black combat units during the Civil War
D、The improved interracial relations that were formed by the races’ facing of common dangers and their waging of a common fight during the Civil War
E、The standards of racial egalitarianism that came to be adopted as a result of White Civil War veterans’ repudiation of the previous racism

答案D

解析 The best answer is D. In lines 6-9, the author of the passage asserts that the title of Glatthaar’s work, Forged in Battle, “expresses his (Glatthaar’ ) thesis: loyalty, friendship, and respect among White officers and Black soldiers were fostered by the mutual dangers they faced in combat.” That the combat dangers “fostered” such attributes suggests that the acted to improve the relations among the Black and White soldiers; thus the passage implies, as D states, that the title Forged in Battle refers specifically to the idea that interracial relations between Black and White soldiers fighting in the Civil War were improved by their shared experience of combat dangers. The other options describe factors that the author of the passage in no way relates to the book’s title.
