B
(2025·重庆高二月考) Operation Overlord, the Allied (同盟国的) campaign to liberate (解放) Europe and defeat the Nazis, has long been memorialised in Hollywood films like *Saving Private Ryan*. By August 1944, over two million soldiers had landed in northern France to fight the Germans. Their story is well-known. Much less well-known is the crucial role hundreds of thousands of women from all walks of life played in this epic military mission.
29-year-old Welsh nurse Iris Bower was one of the first British women to arrive in Normandy after the D-Day landings in June 1944. She faced down hostility before she'd even reached the beaches. “We don't want any bloody women in this outfit,” one of the soldiers told her. But with the biggest invasion in history underway, women like Iris were vital to Allied victory.
Not discouraged by male opponents, Iris was one of the two women from the Princess May's Royal Air Force Nursing Service who crossed the Channel five days after the invasion began. Supplies were basic, sleeping in trenches (战壕), washing from a bucket (水桶), bombs exploding overhead. The nursing sisters worked tirelessly in a temporary field hospital, where over 1,000 wounded soldiers were treated in under a week.
Back in Britain, 18-year-old Ruth Bourne was fighting the same war as Iris and the men on the beaches but from a north London outstation, part of the Bletchley Park code-breaking centre. Ruth operated the giant, noisy machines used to break the German Enigma codes. In June 1944, her workload was particularly heavy. Thousands of women there translated and processed these coded enemy messages, yielding crucial intelligence for the army fighting across France.
There were also other women found themselves far nearer the action. They operated radar, height finders, predictors and cutting-edge technology to plot the course of enemy aircraft.

答案： 语篇导读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在二战期间，女性在盟军解放欧洲的行动中所发挥的关键作用，特别是通过几位女性的具体例子来展示她们的贡献。
5.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Operation Overlord, the
Allied(同盟国的) campaign to liberate(解放) Europe and
defeat the Nazis... Their story is well-known.”可推知，作者提到《拯救大兵瑞恩》这部电影是为了展示男性在二战中的贡献已经被广泛认可，从而引出女性在这一历史事件中
的重要作用未被知晓。故选D。
6.C 词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词所在句下一句“‘We
don’t want any bloody women in this outfit,’ one of the
soldiers told her.”可以看出，士兵们对女性的到来持有不友好的态度，因此画线词hostility在此处意为“不友好的态
度”。故选C。
7.D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句可知，供给是基本的，睡在战壕里，用水桶洗衣服，炸弹在头顶爆炸。护士姐妹们在临时野战医院不知疲倦地工作，在不到一周的时间
里，这里治疗了1,000多名受伤士兵。故推知，作者想在第三段强调她们工作条件的艰苦和工作量的沉重。故选D。
8.C 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“Ruth operated the
giant, noisy machines used to break the German Enigma
codes.”可知，她操作的是用于破解德国恩尼格玛密码的大机器。故推知，鲁思·伯恩(Ruth Bourne)在战争中的角色是代码破解者。故选C。
