Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting,and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him．First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other,using only his bare hands;and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way．After the lesson,and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves,the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown．One of the questions was this:“Well,you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle．Imagine that you are guarding a bridge at night,and that you have a rifle．Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you．What will you do?” The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds before he answered,and then said,“Well,after what I have just seen,I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my rifle as quickly as I could,so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it from me and kill me with it!” The ending of the passage is__.
A、serious
B、mysterious
C、curious
D、humorous
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：该段落的结尾描述了年轻士兵在观看了两位教官如何仅用双手从有武器的人那里拿走武器后，对于自身作为有武器的守卫在夜间面对没有武器的敌军士兵的情况所给出的反应。年轻士兵的答案是“我想我会尽快丢掉我的步枪，这样无武装的敌人就无法夺走我的枪并用它来杀我”。这个答案显然是基于对前面演示的误解，因为在实际情况下，持有武器的一方通常会有更大的优势。因此，这个结尾以一种出乎意料且带有讽刺意味的方式呈现，使得整个故事显得幽默。 A选项“serious”意为严肃的，与段落结尾的幽默氛围不符。 B选项“mysterious”意为神秘的，但段落结尾并没有留下悬念或神秘感。 C选项“curious”意为好奇的，而故事结尾并没有展现任何好奇心。 D选项“humorous”意为幽默的，准确地描述了段落结尾的特点。 因此，正确答案是D。
