Black Americans have served with honor in every American military action, though this fact is often omitted in history books. Even though black men almost had to beg to be allowed to serve in the Revolutionary War, they went on to serve well. Two blackmen, Oliver Cromwell and Prince Whipple, were with Washington when he crossed the Delaware on Christmas Day, 1776, to attack the British at Trenton.
A black man named Estabrook captured the Royal Army’s general Prescott Newport, and Peter Salem, a black, killed Major Pitcairn as he was savoring his expected victory at Bunker Hill.
Even though they were forced to serve in separated units, black soldiers distinguished themselves in combat. This was despite the fact that whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms. In 1863, William Carney of the Massachusetts Colored Infantry received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles with the Plains Indians. Isaiah Dorman, Coster’s black scout, served and died at the Little Big Horn in 1876. Henry Flipper was the first black graduate of West Point in 1877.
In World War I, 40,000 black American combat soldiers served with the French command. Neither U.S. nor British commanders would use these men. But Henry Johnson and Needham Roberts, soldiers in the 369th Infantry’s black "Hellfighters" were still the first Americans to win the Croix de Guerre, France’s top military award. During World War II over 600,000 black men and women served in the armed forces, including some 400,000 who served overseas. Dorie Miller, a black mess attendant in navy, was one of our first heroes in this war. At Pearl Harbor during the Japanese sneak attack, he manned a machine gun and shot down four planes. The black fighter pilots of Benjamin Davis, Jr. distinguished themselves throughout the war. They served most courageously during the Italian campaign. During the war in Vietnam, mainly because of civil rights pressures in America but also owing to the fine record of black military units, all American forces were fully integrated. Once again blacks played vital roles. And 13.2 percent of all war deaths were of blacks, even though blacks constitute only 11 percent of all Americans. Black American soldiers continue to serve their land well.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、Black Americans played an important role in the wars in America.
B、None of the white fight pilots joined World War II.
C、The portion of deaths of blacks is larger than that of the whites.
D、All the statements are true.
答案
B
解析
A.美国黑人在美国各次战争中起了重要的作用。这一说法符合事实,并在文章中有所描述,故不在否定之列。B.没有一个白人战斗飞机员参加过第二次世界大战,这种说法不符合历史事实,美国的飞行员包括黑人但主要的还是白人。所以应选B为本题答案。C.黑人的伤亡比例要比白人的伤亡比例高;这也是事实。从文章的这句话里可以看出:And 13.2 percent of all war deaths were of black,even though blacks constitute only 11percent of all Americans.由此可见黑人的伤亡比例高于白人。因此不能入选。D.所有这些说法都正确,显然不合题意,应该排除。
