  • A. one of the three candidates.
  • B. two of the three candidates.
  • C. all of the three candidates.
  • D. the election monitoring groups.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] Two of the three main candidates in the disputed presidential election in Haiti have rejected a proposed recount of votes from the first round a fortnight ago. The recount was proposed following protests by opposition supporters. The Haitian electoral council had hoped that its offer of holding a recount would bring calm to the streets of Haiti. But both the front-runner Mirlande Manigat and Michel Martelly, who came third, have dismissed the plan. They have been joined in their rejection of the move by six election monitoring groups, who say a recount would not be enough to end days of street protests by opposition supporters. That leaves the governing party candidate, Jude Celestin, as the only top candidate to support the recount. 信息辨认题。题干关键词为welcomed。听音时注意捕捉重新计票的提议的支持者和反对者。新闻第一句就提到,三名主要候选人中的两人拒绝重新计票,接下来说六个选举监督小组也反对,而只有候选人中的另一个支持。因此本题答案为A。
