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 mountains to China. Kissinger's trip was given the code (密码) named Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. 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. Because of the need for complete secreey 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. 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 message?" I asked. "Eureka," he replied.

【答案解析】[解析] 细节题。第二段提到：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．基辛格的病情并没有引起伊斯兰堡当地记者的高度注意。他们真以为他病了，需要卧床休息几天。可见A最合题意。

【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 语义题。Everything went without a hitch．其中，without a hitch意思是“一帆风顺”。此外，根据上下文我们也可猜测出这句话的含义。上题说巴基斯坦的媒体以为基辛格真的病了，而这正是美国政府所计划的，因此事情进展得很顺利。
