2. A  我叫他名字, 他不会回答。

4. B  Frank的这一举动使我的记忆一下子回到了30年前。

5. B  下文交待30年前作者的生活,二战期间他只能住在防空洞中,生活很苦,只能用“dark”来形容当年的岁月。

6. D  作者回忆30年前的生活,头脑中出现了防空洞的情景。

7. C

8. D  在战争问题上由于拥有共同的话题,我们这些防空洞居住者逐渐了解了对方。

9. C

10.  A  一个37岁的人智力却不正常,这一现象逐渐吸引了我的注意。

11. D  尽管Frank已经37岁,但智力还不如一个婴儿。

12. B

13. B  他的讲话仅体现了内心的快乐和愤怒,没有更多实在的内容。

14. D

15. A  West夫人不得不强壮而又有能力,因为Frank完全依靠于她,他需要婴儿似的全部照料。

16.  A  她几乎失去了一切。

17.  B  West夫人遭受这么大的损失,大家尽力帮助这不幸的一家人。

18.  A 

19.  D

20.  B  那天早上临走前,我站在Frank身边,将我的右脚靠着Frank 的右脚以便量出他脚的大小,目的是为他买一双鞋子。Frank将我的这一动作看成是问候的表现,从此他就用这一动作来问候我,这就有了本文开头的那种情景。
