D
Men and women who serve in the United States armed forces are proud of the names like
doughboy and GI Joe.The names have come from the American Civil War.
After the American Civil War in the eighteen sixties,a writer in a publication called Beadle’s Monthly used the word doughboy to describe Civil War soldiers.But word expert Charles Funk says that early writer could not explain where the name started.
About twenty years later,someone did explain.She was the wife of the famous American general George Custer.Elizabeth Custer wrote that a doughboy was a sweet food served to Navy men on ships.She also said the name was given to the large buttons on the clothes of soldiers.For example,the soldiers enjoyed their new GI very much.They looked smart and felt comfortable.Elizabeth Custer believed the name changed over time to mean the soldiers themselves.
By World War Two,soldiers were called other names.The one most often heard was GI, or GI Joe.Most people say the letters GI were a short way to say general issue or government issue.The name came to mean several things.It could mean the soldier himself.It could mean things given to soldiers when they joined the military such as weapons,equipment or clothes.And,for some reason,it could mean to organize,or clean.Soldiers often say,“We GI’d the place.”And when an area looks good.soldiers may say the area is“GI.”Strangely,though,GI can also mean poor work,a job badly done.
Some students of military words have another explanation of GI.They say that instead of government issue or general issue,GI came from the words galvanized iron.The American soldier was said to be like galvanized iron,a material produced for special strength.The Dictionary of Soldier Talk says GI was used for the words galvanized iron in a publication about the vehicles of the early twentieth century.
Today,a doughboy or GI may be called a grunt(咕哝声).Nobody is sure of the exact beginning of the word.But,the best idea probably is that the name comes from the sound that troops make when ordered to march long distances carrying heavy equipment.
68.Originally the word“doughboy”referred to .
A.the American Civil War B.a word expert in the 1860s
C.the American Civil War writers D.a sweet food and the buttons
69.It was who found how the name doughboy came about.

Jaime, Bradley, Carrie, Josh和Alan每人根据自己的职业作答了一份关于Robot的调查问卷,第71至75题是他们的职业介绍。阅读下面七项信息(A、B、C、D、E、F和G),选出与他们职业匹配的最佳选项,并标在答题纸的相应位置上, 选项中有两项是多余选项。
71. _______ Carrie is a young man who has a job in a city construction company. He is afraid of climbing up ladders and carrying the iron bars and concrete onto higher places.
72. _______ Jaime is a professor in the field of biochemistry. He is worried about his health situation as he keeps so close to harmful elements year in and year out.
73. _______ Bradley works in the International Ocean Security Association. He is sad to think of the fact that there were so many people who couldn’t be saved at last in disasters.
74. _______ Alan is a worker in an auto factory. He is thinking of changing another job which is more interesting and creative.
75. _______ Josh is an administrator of the National Spaceflight Bureau, which is short of qualified pilots at the moment.
A
I suppose robots could be used as dust people during night time, as they don’t need to sleep and they are comparatively safe in polluted environment.
B
I suppose small remote control robots could be used as sea rescuing workers to search through wreckage(打捞)in a disaster looking for people in the sea. Bomb defusers(扫雷管)are now robots reducing the risk of losing a life.
C
I suppose robots could be used to do jobs that are dangerous, as they can lift heavy objects, paint, handle chemicals, and perform the same job hour after hour, day after day without stop.
D
I suppose robots could be used as chemical researchers. At least they can help us carry harmful chemicals in a chemical plant or help to go into small areas inaccessible to us. It can be used to examine the inside of a nuclear reactor(核反应堆).
E
I suppose robots could be astronauts and they could travel very far away, like Pluto. If they can, we don’t need to especially train human beings to be astronauts as it costs quite a lot and it also takes many years to make a professional astronaut.
F
I suppose robots could be used as car assembly(装配)workers, in parts of a car building line. Assembly lines make the process move faster, get more work done and cost less. But the job is so mechanical and boring.
G
I suppose robots can do such dangerous jobs as sky-scraper builders that would be safer for human beings. If injured or broken, they can be fixed easily. They can also work in unfavorable conditions such as dark, extreme heat, extreme cold etc.
