What is A ngola's death toll caused by yellow fever?

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】

该题问的是安哥拉因黄热病( yellow fever)而造成的死亡人数是多少,问题 相对简单,因为第一句已经明确地给出了答案,即225人。从解题技巧上来说,该 题作为单项选择题,答题时在肯定这一选择无误的前提下就可以忽略其他选项。录音中其他内容都是背景和细节的介绍,与问题本身没有直接关联,所以选项B、C、 D 都是错误选项。

理解deatii toll与 number of deaths同义。

[录音原文]
The number of deaths from a yellow fever outbreak in Angola has risen to 225 with another 1,600 infected. Experts fear the number could be greater in rural areas where reporting is difficult. A huge preventative vaccination campaign launched in February has already reached 6 million of the capital’s 7.4 million inhabitants, but the disease has since spread to 16 of the country's 18 provinces.
