【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】[听力原文] These days, the German government has been criticized for not doing enough to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War Ⅰ. Germany has spent less on events than some other European countries. And the events which have taken place have been seen as half-hearted by critics. Traditionally in Germany, the First World War is overshadowed by the Second World War. History teaching in German schools tends to focus on the crimes of the Nazis rather than what happened a generation earlier. And since 1945 there's been a strong aversion in Germany to anything that might be seen as glorifying militarism. So many people here are uncomfortable with any anniversary of a war or a battle. There's still some disagreement among historians about who was responsible for World War Ⅰ. But having spent the last 70 years making up for Nazi guilt, many Germans have little appetite to take on the blame for the First World War, too. Why is the German government criticized recently? 此题问的是德国政府最近被批评的原因。第一句提到德国政府因没有对纪念第一次世界大战100周年尽力而受指责。故答案为A。
