Read the following passages and choose the best answer for each of the following questions.
“WORDS are very powerful, they can get things done for us, but then a word and a gun makes it much easier.”
These are the words of the most powerful man in the Middle East, the man who has the eyes of the world focused on him – Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Saddam agreed last Tuesday to let arms inspectors (武器核查员) back into Iraq under existing (现有的) UN agreements reached in February, 1998. However, the US Government continues to demand access (进入)to Saddam’s eight palaces.
The US believes that Saddam has been building weapons of mass destruction (大面积杀伤性武器) in Iraq. They want to be allowed to inspect Saddam’s palaces because they believe that otherwise he may try to hide a nuclear, chemical or biological weapon inside one of them.
America claims they are so worried because it feels they may be the target (目标) of such a weapon after the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington last year. On October 2, 2002, US President George W. Bush got the support he wanted from the Congress (国会) for a military attack on Iraq if Iraq doesn’t agree to a full inspection.
A son of a poor peasant, Saddam came into power in 1972. He led Iraq through a decade long war with Iran in the 1980s, and in August, 1990 Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait (科威特). A US-led alliance (联盟) ran Saddam’s forces out of Kuwait in the Gulf War, which ended in February of 1991,with Saddam still in power.
Iraqis will vote (投票) on October 15 probably to give Saddam Hussein another seven-year mandate (授权).
“All Iraqis love Saddam Hussein and he will win 100 percent of the vote,” said Khalil Khamis, a sculptor (雕塑家).
The vote, however, risks being overshadowed (笼罩) by the return of UN arms inspectors, expected in mid-October.
44． In the fourth paragraph, “them” in “inside one of them” refers to_____.
weapons
Saddam’ s palaces
arms inspectors
he US
45． About Saddam, which of the following statements is NOT true?

46． From the essay, the war between Iraq and Kuwait lasted for___months.
4

47． Which of the following statements is not the opinion of US to Iraq?
Saddam should allow arms inspectors access to his palaces.
Saddam has been building weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
US can accept the fact that Saddam is elected to be the president of Iraq again.
US will give a military attack on Iraq if Iraq doesn’t agree to a full inspection.
48． What is the main idea of this essay?
Saddam is the most powerful man in the Middle East.
Saddam will be the president for another 7 years.
The Saddam’s history and the attitude of US towards Iraq
There may be a war between US and Iraq again.
