问题 Why did Mr. Aziz say the nomination is like putting old wine in new bottles?
Baghdad has ridiculed the nomination of Swedish diplomat Rolf Ekeus to head a new UN weapons inspection program for Iraq. Iraq’s Deputy Prime Minister Tariq Aziz said Monday the nomination was like putting old wine in new bottles. Mr. Ekeus previously held the post of Chief Weapons Inspector from the start of the program until 1997. He’s currently Sweden’s ambassador to the United States. Security Council members Russia and China say they oppose the Ekeus nomination, but it’s not known if they’ll vote against it. Council members have until midday Tuesday to object to the Ekeus nomination before it’s automatically accepted.
选项 A、There is nothing new in the nomination procedure.
B、The nominee had held the same post for 6 years.
C、The United Nations could find nobody new for the post.
D、The nomination procedure is too boring.
答案B
解析 由句子“Mr．Ekeus previously held the post of Chief Weapons Inspector from the start of the program until 1997．”判断B项正确。
