问题 U．S．一led occupation authorities have begun a secret campaign to recruit and train agents with the once—dreaded Iraqi intelligence service to help identify resistance to American forces here after months of increasingly sophisticated attacks and bombings，according to U．S．and Iraqi officials． The extraordinary move to recruit agents of former president’s security services demon strates a growing recognition among U．S．officials that American military forces—already stretched thin—cannot alone prevent attacks like the devastatingtruck bombing of the U．N．headquarters recently，the officials said． Authorities have stepped up the recruitment over the past two weeks，one senior U．S．official said，despite sometimes firm objections by members of the U．S．一appointed Iraqi Governing Council，who complain that they have too little control over the pool of recruits．While U．S．officials acknowledge the sensitivity of cooperating with a force that embodied the ruthlessness of the overthrown president’s rule，they assert that an urgent need for better and more precise intelligence has forced unusual compromises． ”
The only way you can combat terrorism is through intelligence．”the senior official said．”It’s the only way you’re going to stop these people from doing what they’redoing．”He added：”Without Iraqi input，that’s not going to work．” Officials are reluctant to disclose how many former agents have been recruited since the effort began．But Iraqi officials say they number anywhere from dozens to a few hundred，and U．S．officials acknowledge that the recruitment is extensive．
“We’re reaching out very widely，”said one official with the U．S．一led administration。who like most spoke on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity over questions of intelligence and sources． Added a Western diplomat：”There is an obvious evolution in American thinking．First the police are reconstituted，then the army．It is logical that intelligence officials from the regime would also be recruited．” Officials say the first line of intelligence—gathering remains the Iraqi police，who number6，500 in Baghdad and 33，000 nationwide．But that force is hampered in intelligence work by a lack of credibility with a belief—broken public，and its numbers remain far below what U．S．officials say they need to bring order to an unruly capital．Across Iraq。walk—in informers have provided tips on weapons hidings and locations of suspected guerrillas，but many Iraqis dismiss those reports as occasional and sometimes motivated by a desire for personal gain． The emphasis in recruitment appears to be on the intelligence service known as the Mukhabarat，one of four branches in the former security service，although it is not the only target for the U．S．effort．The Mukhabarat，whose name itself inspired fear in ordinary Iraqis，was the foreign intelligence service，the most sophisticated of the four．
A large part of the Iraqi people hold information about weapon hidings as________．
选项 A、fear—inspired
B、money—driven
C、unreliable
D、sophisticated
答案B
解析 第八段末句提到，很多伊拉克人认为有关武器藏匿的情报偶尔才‘能得到，而且有时是一些人为获得个人利益而出卖这些情报的。B项是该句中motivated by a desire for personal gain的同义词，因此B项是正确项。
