提示：

(1)	側(cè)重于動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響和結(jié)果仍然存在，要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)態(tài)。
(2)	what引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，在從句中作主語(yǔ)
(3)	由空后的by可以選出答案。
(4)	由下文的The US says可知抓住薩達(dá)姆的是美國(guó)軍隊(duì)。
(5)	表示執(zhí)政應(yīng)用詞組“in power”。
(6)	考查set短語(yǔ)的用法。set out表示“出發(fā)；宣布”，set on表示“前進(jìn)；使開(kāi)始”，set off的意思是“出發(fā)，動(dòng)身；使爆炸”，set up的意思是“建立，設(shè)立”。
(7)	當(dāng)從句的主語(yǔ)和主句主語(yǔ)一致時(shí)，可以把從句的主語(yǔ)及其后的be一起省略。完整的結(jié)構(gòu)是If he were found。
(8)	美國(guó)當(dāng)然是希望處死薩達(dá)姆。
(9)	美國(guó)總統(tǒng)布什應(yīng)希望對(duì)薩達(dá)姆進(jìn)行最壞的懲罰，這與下文的“put to death”相呼應(yīng)。
(10)	布什沒(méi)有直接說(shuō)處死薩達(dá)姆，而是委婉地說(shuō)“最壞的處罰”。
(11)	根據(jù)下文的Iran和Britain 可得出答案nations。
(12)	因?yàn)檫@種做法太過(guò)分了，所以即使(Even)是英國(guó)都說(shuō)它不會(huì)參加這次審判。
(13)	在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，只有make可接形容詞(clear)作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)。
(14)	did在這里起加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣。
(15)	因?yàn)榻Y(jié)果還沒(méi)有出來(lái)，所以應(yīng)選if(是否)。
(16)	既然是英美等對(duì)伊拉克發(fā)動(dòng)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，當(dāng)然是因?yàn)樗�有被禁止的武器�?/P>
(17)	表示原因時(shí)，reason與介詞for連用；cause與of連用。
(18)	lead to的含義是“通向”。
(19)	此處是一個(gè)There be句型。
(20)	本題考查carry的短語(yǔ)。carry off意為“對(duì)付；贏得”，carry forward意思是“結(jié)轉(zhuǎn)”，carry through意為“幫(某人)渡過(guò)難關(guān)”，carry on的意思“繼續(xù)開(kāi)展”。
