“Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!”
With those words, Paul Bremer, the US's top administrator (行政官員) in Iraq, told the world that Saddam Hussein had been caught.
Saddam was found last Saturday night hiding in a hole on the land of his former cook. He had a gun with him when he was found by US soldiers, but did not use it. He also had US $ 750, 000.“He was quite cooperative (合作的). Not one shot was fired, ” said Richardo Sanches , the US’s top army official in Iraq.
Saddam Hussein was the leader of Iraq from 1979 to April 2003.In 1990, he went to warwith Kuwait, one of Iraq’s neighbors. Iraq’s army killed many Kurds (庫爾得人) living there. The US and other countries went to war with Iraq in 1991 to get the Iraq army out of Kuwait. The war was won quickly by the American-led army. But Saddam was left to lead Iraq.
In 2003, America said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (大規(guī)模殺傷性武器) and decided to go to war with Saddam again.
The US-led army occupied (占領) Iraq in April. But they could not find Saddam. Saddam had around 30 hiding places in the country and he moved among them every four hours. The US-led army only found him after being told where he was by one of his former workers.
America and Britain now want to put Saddam on trial for “war crimes” , such as killing Kurds in the 1990s.
George W. Bush, the US President, wants Saddam to “ pay the ultimate penalty (終極懲罰)”for such crimes. By that, he means the death penalty. The UN and European countries, though, do not want Saddam to be put to death.

[ ]
3.When Saddam was found, he________.
[ ]
A.had 750 , 000 pounds with him

閱讀下面短文,從每小題所給的四個選項中,選出一個最佳答案。
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep; the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual, because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates the need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home from school at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2 The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life , ” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside , she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance (救護車) to her rescue.
Point 3 The mobile removes our secrets. It allows marketing manager of Haba Deutsch , Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, any how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says , “ We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near-but we didn’t meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5 The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously (同時地) on chat lines (at least my daughter does. I wouldn’t know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they’re space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can use the Internet, the biggest library on the Earth.
1.What does the writer mean by saying “The telephone creates the need to communicate”?
[ ]
A.People don’t communicate without telephone.
B.People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C.People have communicated more since the telephone was created.
D.People communicate more because of more traffic.
2.Which of the following best shows people’s attitude towards mobile phones?
[ ]
A.Mobile phones help people deal with the emergency.
B.Mobile phones bring convenience as well as no secret to people.
C.Mobile phones are so important and should be encouraged.
D.Mobile phones encourage people to waste time in chatting.
3.Which points do you think support the idea that phones improve people’s life?
a. Point 1. b. Point 2. c. Point 3. d. Point 4. e. Point 5.
[ ]
4.It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously
[ ]
A.on the TV screen
B.with a computer
C.on chat lines
D.by telephone
5.The best title for the passage is
[ ]
A.Views on Telephones
B.Kinds of Phone
C.How to Use Phones
D.Advantages of Phones
