BAGHDAD, Iraq—Gunmen kidnapped a female American journalist and killed her Iraqi translator Saturday, Jan. 7th, in western Baghdad, an Interior Ministry official said.
Maj. Falah Mohamadawi said the translator told police before he died that the abduction took place when he and the journalist were heading to meet Adnan al-Dulaimi, head of the Sunni Arab Iraqi Accordance Front, in the Adel section of the city.
The neighborhood is dominated by Sunni Arabs and considered one of the toughest in Baghdad.
According to Samir Najim, a guard at al-Dulaimi’s office, three armed men intercepted (拦截) the journalist’ s car and shot the translator before taking her in their car and driving away. The kidnapping took place about 100 yards from al-Dulaimi’s office. Insurgents have kidnapped more than 250 foreigners in the past two years, aiming to force U. S. troops to leave Iraq or prevent Arab nations from strengthening their ties with the Baghdad government.
Some of the hostages were killed, while others were
released
after ransoms were paid or freed after Muslim clerics called the armed groups to release them.
On Dec. 8, the Islamic Army in Iraq claimed to have killed U. S. electrician Ronald Schulz. Other groups are holding a French engineer and four Christian humanitarian workers — two Canadians, a Briton and an American.
The underlined word "released" in paragraph 5 means______.
选项
A、set free
B、caused to move freely
C、made known
D、given up
答案
A
解析
根据上下文可以看出。上文有“Some of the hostages were killed,while…”(有些人质被杀害,而……)“而"表示转折,由此就可以推断released意思是“释放”,还有下文的freed进一步印证了这一推断。
