单选题 According to the Sun, where did they get tile pictures of Saddam Hussein in jail in his underwear?
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文]27-28 A British tabloid has published several pictures of Saddam Hussein in jail in his underwear. The US military denies releasing them and is investigating how they got out. Framed by the headline Tyrant in His Pants, the Sun shows Saddam outside a shower stall in his briefs. Other shots show him seated on a plastic chair, scrubbing his trousers, asleep in bed, or pacing around in tile prison yard. Tile Sun says it has got the pictures from the US military. In Baghdad US military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Steven Boylon said the pictures appear to have been taken over a year ago. It's unfortunate that these photos were released or ever taken, and they are not being released from the US military, so the claims by the Sun that they were released by the US military are not correct. Boylon said the military was investigating the pictures: whether or not they violated the Geneva Convention on prisoners and how to stop potential leaks in future. 本题考查对新闻细节的捕捉。新闻中在说到:“The Sun says it has got the pictures from the US military.”由此可知这些照片来自于美国军方。因此选项A为正确答案。
