听力原文：When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf Wa

听力原文： When Iraqi troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, scientists feared an environmental disaster. Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun？ Many said "No way. Rain would wash the black powder from the atmosphere.' But in America air-sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait. Now the fires are out, and scientists are turning their attentions to yet another threat: the oil that did not catch tire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.

The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface. Nothing, however, stops oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents. Officials are trying to organize a quick clean-up, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to bum the oil and get those black powder protectors ready.

(30)

A．The threat of poisonous desert animals and plants.

B．The exhaustion of energy resources.

C．The destruction of oil wells.

D．The spread of the black powder from the fires.

听力原文：Our correspondent reported that the United States will consider Iraq's destructio

听力原文： Our correspondent reported that the United States will consider Iraq's destruction of the Al Samoud, a liquid propellant "mini-Scud" ballistic missile, a test of Baghdad's commitment to disarm. Destroying the Al Samouds would rob Iraq of a potentially valuable weapon which it considers legitimate for its defense at a time when it faces tens of thousands of American troops poised for a possible invasion. Other outstanding disarmament issues include allowing inspectors to interview Iraqi scientists without government "minders" present. Inspectors from the U.N. Monitoring and Observation Commission led by Blix, have conducted only three private interviews with Iraqi scientists since their return to Iraq in November. "It's three out of more than 20 attempts," he said. The International Atomic Energy Agency, which is inspecting Iraq's nuclear program, has conducted four private interviews, including one Monday.

According to Iraqis, the Al Samoud is ______.

A．a solid-fuel propellant ballistic missile

B．a test of Baghdad's commitment to disarm

C．a weapon poised for a possible invasion

D．a potentially valuable defensive weapon

听力原文：Marines gathered Monday to remember 23 of their own who were killed in a spate of

听力原文： Marines gathered Monday to remember 23 of their own who were killed in a spate of violence that accelerated calls for the Bush administration to plan U. S. troop withdrawals. Six Marines were killed Aug. 1, including five from the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, based in northern Ohio. Fourteen from the 25th Marines were killed Aug. 3 when their amphibious assault vehicle struck a roadside bomb; nine were from the Columbus-based Lima Company. Three other Marines were killed in separate incidents in the region. Reports of continuing deaths of U.S. service members have contributed to a decline in President Bush's favourable rating for handling the situation in Iraq. A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll released last week showed the nation split on whether it was a mistake to invade. Bush, responding last week to calls from protesters to withdraw U.S. troops, said it "would be a mistake for the security of this country."

Why did marines gather on Monday？

A．To remember the death of 23 soldiers.

B．To call for the U.S. administration for compensation.

C．To call for social justice.

D．To remember the death of Iraqi civilians.

听力原文： The three American officials arrived at an airport to the west of Baghdad on the

special UN flight from Bahrain. According to diplomats, they were promptly and politely asked by the Iraqis to turn back. So they boarded the same aircraft and returned to Bahrain. It was repetition of what happened last Thursday when two American arms inspectors were sent back from the same airport. That was the day after Baghdad gave all Americans working with the UN Inspection Team a week to leave the country. This latest incident makes it clear that Baghdad has turned a deaf ear to diplomatic appeals from sympathetic outside parties to back down from its current course and allow the UN Inspection Team to operate unimpeded. Russia, France, Egypt and others who are keen to avoid another crisis have been trying to persuade Iraq that they've made a mistake by challenging the Security Council in this way. The state-run Iraqi Press has continued to signal defiance on the part of the Baghdad leadership.

The three American officials arriving in Baghdad

A．were allowed to work unimpeded.

B．were forbidden to work at all.

C．were asked to leave.

D．were promptly detained.
