Question

【题目】To son, Cecil,

Just a quick note preface before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism. On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at you little faces and couldn't help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience.

When I was a little boy aged 6, my Dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the War there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn't happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don't make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mum. You will be the Man of the Cawley family. Be good, my son, and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

All my love

Dad

【解析】

这是一位父亲给儿子写的信，信中交代儿子为什么自己要离开家，同时表达自己对家人的想念。并期待能够和家人们重聚。

【1】推理判断题。根据“In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the War on Terrorism.”可知本文作者是Dad，父亲在2002年参加反恐战役，在海军陆战队服役，根据“On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go…”可知在2001年9月11日美国遭到攻击，作者去参加战争。因此可推测写信人是一名美国战士。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据“I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience.When I was a little boy aged 6, my Dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the War there.”可知作者认为他跟孩子有相同的经历，就是他们的爸爸都要参加战争而离开他们。故选B。

【3】推理判断题。根据“If for some reason I don't make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mum.”可知作者信中跟儿子说，如果出于某种原因他没能回家，让儿子一定要照顾好妹妹和妈妈，因此可推测作者认为他可能会在战争中死去。故选C。
