【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：这是一篇新闻报道：美伊战争给伊拉克人民带来了灾难，他们缺水、食物等生活必须品；孩子们害怕死亡。短文是一幅难民们逃难场景，读后深恶痛绝英美联军，同情伊拉克人民。

1.考查介词及语境理解。句意：美国士兵经过二十多天的战斗后才到达巴格达。After和By的后面都跟时间点， for和during 都可以加一段时间，但during后直接与时间连用，由于文中时间前有over故排除。所以选A。

2.考查名词及语境理解。句意：巴格达是伊拉克的首都。City城市；town城镇；capital首都；village村庄。根据常识可知该选C。

3.考查数词及语境理解。句意：成千上万的伊拉克人在战争中死了。Thousand千；thousands of表示不确定数字，意为“成千上万”；如果前有具体数字，thousand不变复数，其后也不加of。所以选D。

4.考查形容词及语境理解。句意：战后，萨达姆不知去向，下落不明。Tired累的；run跑；gone消失，逃亡；forgotten遗忘。根据句意可知该选C。

5.考查连词及语境理解。句意：没有人知道他活着还是死了。whether是否；when当…的时候；how怎么；that那。whether引导宾语从句，表示“是否”。所以选A。

6.考查名词及语境理解。句意：现在伊拉克人需要食物，水和药品。Spaceships宇宙飞船；flowers花；people人；medicine药。根据下句Many soldiers and people who were hurt in the war need medical care. 可推知该选D。

7.考查名词及语境理解。句意：人们需要的是找到亲人的办法。an idea主意；.a way方法；a plane飞机；a bridge桥。人们需要的是找到亲人的办法，而不是主意。所以选B。

8.考查动词及语境理解。句意：联军潜进博物馆偷走珍品。Bought买；borrowed借；stole偷；brought带来。根据后文Many Iraqis are angry that the U.S. soldiers didn’t stop the robbers (抢劫者). 可知该选C。

9.考查副词及语境理解。句意：报道时政府还没成立。Still仍然；ever曾经；yet还，已；already已经。报道时政府还没成立。still表示“仍然，还”。 其他三词都用于完成时态。所以选A。

10.考查动词短语及语境理解。句意：联军侵占伊拉克的目的是寻找大规模的杀伤性武器。looking at看；looking for寻找；giving up 放弃；putting down放下。美国人发动战争的目的是寻找伊拉克大规模杀伤性武器，故选B。

考点：新闻报道类短文。
