四、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 阅读理解（共三篇，15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
(A)
Messages can be sent quickly over great distances by radio nowadays, but many years ago, this was not usually possible. It was therefore difficult for a general in the First World War to get news of a battle quickly. The telephone was useful if the armies
stayed in one place, but in an attack this instrument was useless.
A certain general who was planning an attack met this difficulty and discussed it with his officers. He said that it was necessary for him to know whether the attack was successful or not. So his officers got him a pigeon.
The pigeon was trained to return to the general’s camp. And just before the attack, it was given to soldier who was going to take part in the coming battle. The soldier was ordered to carry the bird with him and to stay with one of his officers. The officer was ordered to write news of the success or failure of the attack on a small piece of paper and make the pigeon send the message to the general.
The attack began and the general waited for news. No bird appeared. The general became impatient but still no pigeon could be seen. The general’s face grew serious: he had to know whether the attack was successful or not, but no one could tell him.
Suddenly a cry was heard, “The pigeon!” The pigeon arrived with a piece of paper. “Bring me that message!” cried the general. The message read,” I absolutely refuse to carry this stupid bird any longer.”
46. The difficulty the general had in a battle was how to ____________. A. get message quickly. C. plan an attack.
B. send weapons quickly.
D. get a pigeon.
