Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble. His arrest has thrown up as many questions as it has answers. Top of the list is what should happen to Saddam now, closely followed by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction(大規(guī)模殺傷性武器). He is currently being held by American troops at a secret place. The US says he will stand trial(審判) for his cruel actions during his years in power. This is likely to take place at a court set up two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council(伊拉克臨管會(huì)). The council's president Abdul Azizal-Hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(處死) if found guilty by the court. And the US supports this.“I think he ought to receive the worst punishment for what he has done to his people,”said US President George W. Bush, without directly stating that Saddam should be put to death. However, many nations, including Saddam's long time enemy Iran, believe he would receive a fairer trial in an international court. Even Britain, America's closest supporter, said it would not take part in any trial that could lead to Saddam's execution. The UN Security Council(聯(lián)合國(guó)安理會(huì)) has yet to make its position clear. But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan did say that“the UN does not support a death penalty.”Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see if the US and Britain can find the banned weapons they gave as the reason for the war in Iraq. Asked if Saddam's capture could lead to a breakthrough in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said,“there's obvious possibility there. But I think we should carry on what we're doing in Iraq”.
50.After the arrest(逮捕) of Saddam, people are most concerned with the question that _____.
 A.whether there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq  B.where he is held now
 C.how he will be punished   D.none of the above
51.Which of the following is not true?
 A.Saddam will be punished for his cruel actions. B.An international court will be set up.
  C.UN does not support a death penalty.
  D.Many nations think it is not fair to have the trial in the court set up by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council.
52.Tony Blair's words implies that _____.
 A.he is not sure whether they can find the weapons  B.Britain will not take part in trial
 C. Both A and B      D. Neither A nor B

As a saying goes, every bean has its black .It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter,is no _36_.Several decades ago he made a mistake -a(n) perfect mistake, _37_.
On a cold Saturday, Mother's father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his _38_ was sending to an orphanage(孤兒院)in Africa. On his way home, he _39_ into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His _40_ proved fruitless.
When he _41_ replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened.The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having _42_ him $20 that very morning, were heading for Africa! He had to drive home _43_.
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather's church, _44_ Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said,“I must thank you for the _45_ you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪)had just _46_ through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“_47_ I had the money, there was simply no way of _48_ those glasses. _49_ not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff _50_ the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped(吸引注意)with the _51_ of it all, he continued, “ When I tried _52_ the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened,_53_ for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have _54  their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their _55_ of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

The Making of a Surgeon
  How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(進(jìn)修醫(yī)生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question    36   more than one occasion.
  The answer, I concluded, was   37   . When you can say to yourself,  “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just   38   or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are   39   a surgeon. I was   40    that point.
41  , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had   42   the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be   43   . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular       44  , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d   45   all the facts of the case and, often, wonder   46    I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the   47  , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of   48  , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only   49   I could find the   50   of mind I needed to relax.
  Now, in the last month of my residency,   51   was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to   52   this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a   53    one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自負(fù)的) and I guess it is —   54     a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the   55   and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at                 B. in               C. on                  D. for
37. A. self-service         B. self-centered      C. self-reliant                D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as      B. as well as        C. as far as                    D. as long as
39. A. indeed                  B. maybe           C. perhaps              D. even
40. A. waiting          B. standing          C. lying                    D. nearing
41. A. Let                  B. Take             C. Have                 D. Get
42. A. valued             B. avoided          C. feared               D. enjoyed
43. A. made              B. applied         C. included             D. developed
44. A. condition          B. state              C. occasion               D. situation
45. A. retell               B. review           C. revise               D. remind

A Beautiful Dress
My neighbor’s eight-year-old daughter used to live in the countryside, her native place. Recently her parents   51  her to town to live with them.

Compassion(同情)is a desire within us to help others.With efforts,we can translate compassion into actions.An experience last weekend showed me this is true.
I work part—time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly These old people are our main customers,and it’s easy to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy marl walked up to my register(收款機(jī))with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room,and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before,and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn’t allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job .Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up.if anything,he looked more pitiable,“Charge it to me,”was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft,safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed,either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

Over the past ten years, we have made some big steps forward in our common struggle for development, security and human rights. Aid and debt relief have increased, making the world economy somewhat fairer. At last, the world is taking action against HIV/AIDS. There are fewer wars between countries than there used to be; and many civil wars have ended. More Governments are elected by, and responsible for, the people whom they govern. And all States protect people from war crimes, racial cleansing and crimes against humanity.
But there is so much that still needs doing. The gap between rich and poor continues to grow. Many people still face serious crime, discrimination, and racial conflict. Nuclear weapons require urgent attention. Terrorism, and the reaction to it, is spreading fear and suspicion. It seems that we don't even agree which threats are most important. Those who live on small islands may see global warming as the biggest danger. Those who live in a city that has suffered terrorist attacks, like New York, or Mumbai, or Istanbul, may feel that fighting against terrorism is more urgent. Others again may cite poverty, disease, or genocide. The truth is, these are all global threats. All of us should be concerned about all of them. Otherwise, we may" not succeed in dealing with any of them.
At this time of all times, we cannot afford to be divided. I know that you, the peoples of the world, understand this. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you have given me throughout these ten difficult but exciting years.
Please urge your leaders to work with my successor, and make the United Nations ever stronger and more effective.
Long live our planet and its peoples. Long live the United Nations!
72. The first paragraph mainly describes______________.
A. the fact that the United Nations has become stronger
B. the achievements that the United Nations has made
C. the threats that the United Nations has come across
D. the steps that have been taken to help developing countries
73. From the second paragraph we learn___________________.
A. which problems are the most important
B. the task to improve our world is not so difficult
C. we still have a long way to go to achieve world peace
D. the future of the world is not certain
