单选题 Why did the human rights organizations criticize Morocco?
【正确答案】 D
【答案解析】[听力原文] 23-24
The European Union says thirty thousand Sub-Saharan Africans are waiting in Morocco and Algeria to cross illegally into Europe. [23] Morocco has been criticized by human rights organizations after it was reported that its security forces had dumped large numbers of these would-be migrants in the desert and left them to fend for themselves. Meanwhile, in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, demonstrations have been taking place against the treatment of those who've been trying to enter the Spanish enclaves of Melilia and Ceuta, [24] where last week several people were killed in clashes with Moroccan troops.

[解析] 新闻提到,据报道摩洛哥的安全部队将大量准备移民欧洲的人都赶进了沙漠,留下他们在那儿自谋生路。报道后,人权组织对摩洛哥进行了抨击。故选项D正确。
[点睛] 推理判断题。文中虽未出现treated the would-be migrants cruelly,但从“将那些准备移民欧洲的人都赶进沙漠,留下他们在那儿自谋生路”可推断出摩洛哥的安全部队对待准备移民欧洲的人是残酷的。
