Bush struck a defiant tone Thursday, insisting on his authority to run the war despite a report from his ad- ministration showing the Iraqi government was making only paltry progress and growing anxiety over the war from fellow Republicans.
Bush frequently invoked Al-Qaeda, warning the withdrawal of 160,000 US troops in the country would mean "surrendering the future of Iraq to Al-Qaeda."
The House of Representatives answered Bush with a vote to withdraw most combat troops by April, as Democratic leaders blasted the president's handling of the war. The House voted by 223 votes to 201 to pass the measure, but the Republican coalition stayed intact: only four party members voted with the Democrats.
What is Bush's reaction towards US troop withdrals ?
A.Support.
B.Objection.
C.Neutrality.
D.Unclear.
听力原文: Weather scientists call hurricanes by names to make clear which storm they are talking about. An Australian weather scientist began giving women's names to storms before the end of the nineteenth century. Weather scientists used the names of their girlfriends or wives for storms during World War Two. (33) The United States weather service started officially using women's names for storms in nineteen fifty-three. In nineteen seventy-eight, it began including men's names as well.
(34) Today, scientists make up lists of names years in advance, They agree on them at meetings of the concerned organization. The lists include both American and international names.
The United States National Hurricane Center near Miami, Florida, watches for the development of storms. It gives a name to each one that reaches a wind speed of sixty-two kilometers an hour. A different list of names is used each year. The first name begins with the letter "A". The second begins with "B" and so on. The same list will not be used again for at least six years. The names of storms that have caused extremely severe damage may be retired at the request of the country that was affected. That name will not be used again for at least ten years. (35) This is done to avoid legal problems or confusion. It may be reasonable that the United States asks that the name Katrina be retired.
(34)
A.Before 19th century
B.During World War Two
C.In 1978.
D.In 1953.

in the United States, American journalists were
teaching Europeans what their own elites would 【S2】______
submit to interviews. In 1879, an American named
James Creelman became a first person to interview 【S3】______
the president of France. During World War 1,

King of England wiping out at a tea party for 【S5】______
American journalists at Sandringham; you beheld the

of a weekly conference with reporters."

Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.
Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. (76) Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents.
Also, the young are less patient. (77) Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen.
In the past, many young people ______.
A.knew the effects of war
B.went in for politics
C.liked to save the wounded in wars
D.were willing to be soldiers
