【答案解析】[听力原文]
Officials in Haiti say more than 2,000 people are now known to have died in the cholera epidemic sweeping through the country. About 90,000 are reported to have contracted the waterborne disease. On Friday, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, warned that the number of infections and deaths could be twice as high.
An investigation into the cholera epidemic in Haiti is reported to have blamed United Nations peacekeepers from Nepal. The study by a French medical professor has been submitted to the French government and the UN.
Reports say the French disease expert concludes the most likely explanation for the cholera epidemic is contamination from a base of UN Nepalese troops, located on the river system where the epidemic broke out. A UN spokesman called this "one report among many" on the topic and said the mission in Haiti has neither accepted nor dismissed the findings, but he said it is taking them seriously and will follow up on any additional information, consulting with a broad range of specialists. Accusations against the peacekeepers led to violent demonstrations in Haiti last month, but the UN continues to say there is no scientific evidence they brought cholera to the country.
信息推断题。题干关键词为Ban Ki-moon。本题为数字题，听音时注意捕捉数字信息并作相关记录。新闻第一句话就提到，海地官员表示，在全国蔓延的霍乱流行已造成2,000多人死亡，90,000多人感染。接下来又说，联合国秘书长潘基文警告称，感染疾病和因病死亡人数至少是官方数字的两倍，也就是至少是前面两个数字之和的两倍，即184,000。因此可能的数字就是选项D184,000。
