【答案解析】[听力原文] Today, Americans still make the same presumption that military might be right. Following European criticisms of the Iraq war, the French became "surrender monkeys". The Germans were opportunistic ingrates. The British and the Poles were America's lone allies. Unsurprisingly, many of those listening to Bush's inaugural pledge last week to stand with those defying tyranny saw the glimmerings of an argument for invading Iran. Washington has thus far shown more of an appetite for spreading ideals with the barrel of a gun than for namby-pamby hearts-and-minds campaigns. [分析] 观点态度的找寻和判断。 根据原文，Unsurprisingly，many of those listening to Bush's inaugural pledge last week to stand with those defying tyranny saw the glimmerings of an argument for invading Iran可知，这一点也不奇怪，许多上星期听过布什就职演讲说要与反抗专制统治者们站在一起时，便看到了为入侵伊拉克找借口，造舆论的迹象。由此可见，D项“一些人认为布什在演讲中为攻打伊拉克找理由”与原文相符，因此该项为正确答案。 [解题关键] 理解关键词用法，例文中glimmerings意思是“征兆，迹象”，argument意思是“理由，论据”，因此the glimmerings of argument 与选项D中seeking justification“找理由”意思相当。
