单选题
Water supplies are cut A. because the channels are broken B. because of the high temperature C. because wells are drying up D. because of the rain
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[听力原文] Water supplies to many Sudanese refugees in eastern Chad are being cut because wells are drying up and it's still 6 weeks before rain is expected. Around 200,000 Sudanese are in the area, having fled the fighting in Darfur. The camps strung out along the Chad-Sudan border are very hot at this time of the year. A spokesman says they can now only provide a third of the internationally recognized standard of water supply. That's just 5 liters a day for cooking, drinking and washing. Oxfam is conducting an urgent search for alternative supplies.
