提示：

(2)	what引导表语从句，在从句中作主语
(3)	由空后的by可以选出答案。
(4)	由下文的The US says可知抓住萨达姆的是美国军队。
(5)	表示执政应用词组“in power”。
(6)	考查set短语的用法。set out表示“出发；宣布”，set on表示“前进；使开始”，set off的意思是“出发，动身；使爆炸”，set up的意思是“建立，设立”。
(7)	当从句的主语和主句主语一致时，可以把从句的主语及其后的be一起省略。完整的结构是If he were found。
(8)	美国当然是希望处死萨达姆。
(9)	美国总统布什应希望对萨达姆进行最坏的惩罚，这与下文的“put to death”相呼应。
(10)	布什没有直接说处死萨达姆，而是委婉地说“最坏的处罚”。
(11)	根据下文的Iran和Britain 可得出答案nations。
(12)	因为这种做法太过分了，所以即使(Even)是英国都说它不会参加这次审判。
(13)	在四个选项中，只有make可接形容词(clear)作宾语补足语。
(14)	did在这里起加强语气。
(15)	因为结果还没有出来，所以应选if(是否)。
(16)	既然是英美等对伊拉克发动战争，当然是因为它有被禁止的武器。
(17)	表示原因时，reason与介词for连用；cause与of连用。
(18)	lead to的含义是“通向”。
(19)	此处是一个There be句型。
(20)	本题考查carry的短语。carry off意为“对付；赢得”，carry forward意思是“结转”，carry through意为“帮(某人)渡过难关”，carry on的意思“继续开展”。
