President Bush spoke on the first anniversary of the change of power from the American-led coalition to an Iraqi government The president called Iraq the "latest battlefield" in a war against terrorists who hate freedom and want to control the Middle East. He said, "I know Americans ask the question:[19]Is the sacrifice worth it? It is worth it, and it is vital to the future security of our country."[20]Mr. Bush said it would be a "serious mistake" to set a time limit for withdrawing American forces. He said Iraqis "need to know that America will not leave before the job is done." And he said the enemy would know that all they have to do is wait. Critics have long accused the president of falsely linking Iraq and the September 11th attack as a reason for war. Recently, public opinion research has shown an increase in the numbers of Americans who question the president’s policy on the war. 53% of those in one study done before the speech said it was a mistake to send troops to Iraq.
19. How did President Bush justify the war against Iraq?
20. When will America withdraw its troops according to the passage?
21. What do we learn about the American people’s attitude toward the war?

选项 A、The majority is supporting the war.
B、Many Americans axe questioning Bush’s policy on the war.
C、Few people care about the war.
D、All Americans are against the war.

答案 B

解析 短文结尾处说:最近,公共舆论调查表明,越来越多的美国人对总统的战争政策提出了质疑。答案是B。由选项知,本题显然问人们对战争的态度。supporting,question,(not)care about,against表明了四种态度,是关键词。可以依据听到的关键词选择答案。内容绝对化的选项C、D均可以首先排除。至于A,要根据短文最后内容(53%的受调查者认为派兵伊拉克是个错误)予以排除。
