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．
Which of the following is true regarding the recruitment of the intelligence?
选项 A、The new release people are unwilling to tell anything about themselves
B、It is just a preparatory step for the reconstruction of the Iraqi armed forces
C、The western world as a whole dislikes the idea of reconstruction in this way
D、An obvious connection exists in the reconstructions of the army and the police
答案A
解析 第五段首句提到，政府官员不愿意公开自招募行动开始后有多少前机构的特工加入。A项中“新近释放的特工(new—release people)”指的就是该句中的“前机构的特工(former agent)”。A项中are unwilling to tell与该句中的reIuctant t0 disclose是同义表达。第七段引用一位西方外交官的话指出，无论是之前的“重建警察部队”和“重建军队”，还是现在的“招募情报官员”都是美国人思想进步的表现。因此“招募情报官员”是重建伊拉克武装部队的具体内容，而非筹备活动，排除B项。西方世界持的是肯定态度，排除C项。该段没有提到“重建警察部队”和“重建军队”之问的联系，排除D项。
