【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】[听力原文] The New Year celebration in Thailand was shattered by violence when nine bombs exploded across Bangkok around midnight. Three Thai citizens were killed and more than thirty injured. No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday. Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists. Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand's three Southern-most provinces. Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population and have long complained of neglect and discrimination in the largely Buddhist nation. They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic State. Since 2004, they have carried out numerous attacks in the south and more than 1, 900 people have been killed. The Thai government has been unable to curb the violence though thousands of troops have been sent to the south. What happened during the New Year celebration in Thailand? 新闻开始就提到九枚炸弹在曼谷各处爆炸，破坏了新年庆典。之后的内容是对此次炸弹袭击的背景介绍和对肇事者的猜测，故本题选D。
