题目:

Eddie McKay, a once forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.

It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. Mckay, was included in a list of university alumni who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. "After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case," said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.

Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron as a WW1 flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. "For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world," says Broad. "He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time." Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.

McKay’s war records were destroyed during World War Two air bombing on London-an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.

But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. "I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ’deceased’ next to his name," said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. "This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.\

What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay()

A.A uniform of McKay.

B.A footnote about McKay.

C.A book on McKay.

D.A picture of McKay.

        然而,时隔不久我就得到了一次为皇帝陛下效劳的机会,至少我当时认为我是立了一大功。一天半夜,忽有几百人在我门口呼喊把我惊醒了,因为突然一下子被惊醒,我心里有几分恐惧。我听到有人不停地喊“布尔格兰姆”。朝廷的几位大臣从人群中挤了过来,恳请我立刻赶到宫中去。原来是一位女侍官不小心,看传奇小说时睡着了,以致皇后的寝宫失火。我立即爬了起来;这时已有命令让众人给我让开道路,又因为这是一个月明之夜,所以我一路小心赶到宫中一个人也没有踏伤。我看他们已在寝宫的墙上竖好了梯子,水桶也很齐全,只是水源离这儿还有一段距离。这些水桶只有大针箍那么大小,可怜的人们以最快的速度把一桶接一桶的水递给我,但火势太猛,无济于事。本来我可以用我的上衣很容易地将火扑火,不幸的是匆忙之中忘了带来,只穿一件皮背心就跑出来了。事情很惨,看来已毫无希望。要不是我忽然想出一条妙计(这种时候并不多),那这么一座富丽堂皇的宫殿是肯定要烧成平地了。前一天晚上找喝了大量的一种名叫“格力姆格瑞姆”的美酒(不来夫斯库人管它叫“福禄奈克”,但我们的酒被认为更好一点),这酒有很好的利尿作用。真是凑巧不过,我一次小便都还没有解过呢。我靠火焰很近,又在忙着将火扑灭,身上一吸热,酒就开始发生作用而变成尿了。我狠狠地撒了一泡,撒的也正是地方,结果三分钟火就整个儿被浇灭了,花了多少年心血建成的其他皇家建筑也终于免遭毁灭,被救了下来。

1、从情节来看,文中的“我”认为撒尿救火是立了一大功。但后来给“我”带来什么后果?从中表现了“我”什么性格特点?

                                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                           

2、作品表面上酷似儿童读物,实际上却是一部老少皆宜的讽刺小说。请你说说作者写小人国讽刺和影射了什么?
