单选题
What is the main target of the rebels in this latest attack?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] 6-7 This is Stan Fielding reporting live from the outskirts of the capital city of Angola. Just 20 minutes ago, rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18 - month conflict here in this country. So far, peace negotiations have failed, and any resolution to quell the civil war appears bleak at this point. As you can probably hear behind me, rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound government strongholds around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in, and it's feared that they will be able to take the capital building before sunup where it is believed, many government officials are holding out. Since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, clean water, and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this torn country. It is believed that over 40, 000 people, mostly children, have starved to death. Land mines have claimed countless other lives. Fortunately, no epidemics have broken out, but that is always a concern if this war lingers on.
[解题思路] 从6—7题的问题及选项中可推断出,这段新闻是关于政府军和叛乱军进行交战的情况报道,要注意听懂里面有关这次内战的时间、地点、人物及后果,以便更好地理解报道,答题时还要关注里面有关rebel forces和government的动态。 [关键词语] civil war,rebel forces,government,starvation,epidemics [详细解答] 此题考查的是叛乱军向政府军攻击的主要目标,从“rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound government strongholds around the city center.”中可知,他们攻击的是位于市中心的政府大楼,即市政府首脑所在地,所以符合此意的只有A,而其余三项均未提到过。
