47、干含义“佛罗里达州儿童健康保险项目旨在帮助低收入家庭中的孩子”相吻合，因此该题的说法是正确的。解题关键 正确理解短语 be eligible for(对于某事享有资格)。(3).Iraqis stopped the development of long-range ballistic missiles because such programs were prohibited by the US.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 Although Iraq ultimately failed to develop and produce long-range ballistic
