Eleven Taliban fighters attacked an important airport in southern Afghanistan early Tuesday, killing at least 50 people, Afghan officials said. The Afghan Defense Ministry said 38 civilians, 10 soldiers and two police officers were killed.
    The attack on the Kandahar Air Field lasted 20 hours, reported The Washington Post. Among the dead were women and children, the newspaper wrote. The airport includes a military base with troops from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO. There were no reports that NATO troops were killed or injured in the attack.
    A spokesman for the Taliban says fighters entered the base and attacked local and foreign military troops. He said more than 150 soldiers were killed in the attack. The Taliban often makes claims about the results of their attacks that are not true. Taliban attacks have grown in number and strength in Afghanistan this year after the withdrawal last year of combat troops from other countries.
3. What did Taliban fighters do early Tuesday?
4. What led to the growth of Taliban attacks in Afghanistan?
选项 A、Withdrawal of combat troops from other countries.
B、False claims of foreign military troops.
C、Decline of the local troops’ strength.
D、Last year’s victory over foreign troops.
答案 A
解析 新闻末尾提到，自从去年其他国家的武装部队撤走后，塔利班的袭击在数量和破坏力都增加了(grown in number and strength)，故导致塔利班袭击增多的原因就是外国军队的撤走，A正确。发出错误声明(false claims)的是塔利班，而非外国军队，B错误。C利用strength一词作干扰，新闻并没有提到当地军队的情况。D“去年对外国军队的胜利”没有在新闻中提到。
