TheIraqWarisdraggingintoitsfourthyear.WhilepeaceremainsuncertaininIraq,opinionpollsintheUnitedStateshaveshownthatsupportforthewarisfallingdown.However,U.S.PresidentGeorgeW.Bushhasoutwardlyexpressedhisconfidenceonmorethanoneoccasion."I'moptimisticwe'llsucceed.Ifnot,I'dpullourtroopsout,"hesaidatarecentpressconference.

WhenheorderedtroopsintoIraqonMarch20,2003,GeorgeW.Bushprobablywouldnothaveimaginedthatthecountrywouldbeplungedintosuchachaoticsituationthreeyearslater.

Despiteitsvictoriousoffensives,U.S.forceshavenotbeenabletoclearanti-U.S.resistance,whichineffecthasseenadrasticrestorationrecently.AlthoughtheU.S.dominateddemocraticprocesshaslargelybeencompleted,andWashingtoncontinuestoincreaseeconomicassistance,Iraqhasmadelittleprogressinitsreconstruction,leavingIraqipeoplewithseverewaterandpowershortages.Inparticular,eversincethebombingofafamousShiiteshrine(什叶派教徒的圣地)onFebruary22,thefeudbetweentheSunnis(逊尼派教徒)andtheShiites,Iraq'stwomajorreligioussects,hasdegeneratedtotheedgeofacompletelossofcontrol.

Atpresent,theUnitedStatescanneithercomeupwithaquickanswertotheIraqproblem,norriditselfoftheheavyburdeneasily.Behindthe"Iraqsyndrome"arethehugecostsonthepartoftheUnitedStates:over2,300troopskilledand$200250billionspent.

参考答案

1.C解析：文章的标题为LANGUAGEVARIETIES，其中并没有提及全世界语言的总数。

2.B解析：参见C段倒数第2句“Thesefiguresprobablyunderestimatetheproblem，andthereareindicationsthatthelevelofbullyinghasrisenoverthelast10-15years．”这些调查数据可能低估了这个问题，因为一些迹象显示欺凌弱小的程度在过去的10到15年间有所上升。而definitely太绝对。

3.66years66years解析：参见第1个小标题A.PastandPresentGrowth下面的第3段：Lifeexpectancyatbirthinmostdevelopingcountriesincreasedfromabout35-40yearsinl950to66yearsby2000．由此可知，截至2000年，大多数发展中国家的人口的平均寿命从1950年的大约35-40岁增加到了66岁。

4.gettingespeciallypressinggettingespeciallypressing解析：参见“ThePeople'sTelly”部分第一段第二句：TherapidshifttodigitalTVmakesthedebateoverwhethertheBBCshouldbepubliclyfundedespeciallypressing．

5.vocabularyandcomprehensionskillsvocabularyandcomprehensionskills解析：由“ImprovementofReadingRate”部分第四段第一句“Learningtoreadrapidlyandwellpresupposesthatyouhavethenecessaryvocabularyandcomprehensionskills．”可知要提高阅读速度和质量的前提是你必须有必要的词汇量和阅读技巧。故此题答案为“vocabularyandcomprehensionskills”。

6.B解析：细节判断题。文章第一部分第一段，布什总统在一次媒体见面会上说：“I'moptimisticwe'llsucceed．Ifnot，I'dpullourtroopsout．”虽然对胜利持乐观态度，但是，如果战争不能获胜，美国将会撤出军队。选项与文章不一致。

7.B解析：文章第一段最后提到其他国家做的研究是关于青蛙的眼睛和章鱼的学习能力，不是青蛙的学习能力。

8.B

9.A解析：细节辨认题。根据原文可知，该考试不得晚于中学最后一年的秋季(thefallofyoursenioryearofhighschool)。只有A项中的lastyear与原文senioryear同义。

10.inevitably

11.D解析：题干中的reconsidertomakenaturalgasasafuelsource与原文中的broughtrenewedinterestinnaturalgasasafuelsource属于同义转换，而且时间也一模一样。本题要问的是20世纪60年代末70年代初，人们重新考虑用天然气作燃料的原因。根据定位句，不难看出theoilshortages即是原因所在，故本题答案为D。

12.fallenoutoffashionfallenoutoffashion解析：文章的最后谈到“Theideathatcompetitivesportsbuildcharacter，aWesterntraditiondatingfromancientGreece，hasevidentlyfallenoutoffashionintoday'sUSEducators，nowpronetoseethekindofcharactershapedbyfootballandbasketballinadarklight，havechallengedthenotionthatcollegesportsproduceinterestingpeople，竞技体育塑造品格这一可追溯到古希腊
