问题     We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in Pakistan on the way back. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistani plane would fly him over the mountain to China.
    Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. (78) His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.
    (79) Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. (80) So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word- Eureka-which he would use if his mission were successful. On July 11, A1 Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to say that a cable from Kissinger had arrived.
    "What’s the message?" I asked.
    "Eureka," he replied.
选项 A、he happened to have a stomachache
B、he needed a rest alter a long journey
C、he had a secret mission to perform
D、he did not want to be seen by the press
答案 C
解析 推理题。根据第一段的介绍可知，美国政府是这样安排的：基辛格从越南谈判回国途经巴基斯坦，突然胃病犯了，需要卧床休息，不准媒体打扰，然后在巴基斯坦总统的配合下，基辛格乘坐巴基斯坦的飞机前往中国。一切都安排得如此神秘，就是因为这是秘密任务。
