问题     Washington/New York U. S. President Bush said on Monday that he wanted Osama Bin Laden "dead or alive" for last week’s attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but many of Washington’s allies are cool on strikes against Afghanistan.
    Bush has named Laden as a prime suspect, though he has provided no evidence for his claim. Still, he had been building public support for military action and has warned Afghanistan’s Taliban to give up Bin Laden.
    But the Taliban, which has warned of " holy war" in response to any U. S. attack, by Tuesday afternoon had given no indication of whether the man they call their "guest" would be handed over.
    On an unprecedented " Day of terror" , two planes smashed into New York’s World Trade Center twin towers on September 11, putting them into ruins while explosions rocked the Pentagon in Washington, and the White House and State Department were evacuated. The attacks have left more than 5 ,000 people dead or missing.
    China has said it is ready to join international efforts in fighting "terrorism" but insisted that peace, not war, is the best option.
    In London, Blair declared it a "war between the civilized world and fanaticism" and determined to stand by an ally which aided Britain in two world wars. France, Germany and other, including Bussia, are also supportive. "The evil must be punished," Russian President Vladimire Putin said. "But we should not liken ourselves to bandit. " His defense chiefs have ruled out hosting NATO forces in former Soviet Central Asia or joining U. S. military action, although Moscow says it will help with intelligence.
According to the passage, which of the following is right?
选项 A、It was Bin laden that made the terrorist attacks, which have left more than 5,000 people dead or missing.
B、Russian forces will join U. S. military action.
C、There is no sign to show that the Taliban will hand over bin Laden.
D、Few countries support America after the attacks.
答案C
解析 第三段the Taliban had siven no indication(迹象)of whether the man would be handed over可知C项正确。A项叙述只是美国的猜测，是否属实并不知道，文中也没有说。从最后一句俄国总统的发言we should not liken ourselves to bandit…ruled out…joiningU．S．military action可知俄国虽然会help with intelligence，但不会参加美国的军事行动，故B项错误。然而，从文中可知支持美国的国家还是比较多的，英国，法国，中国，德国等等包括俄罗斯都抱支持态度。故D项也不正确。
