判断题

【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析]
The German luxury carmaker Porsche has announced a takeover bid for Volkswagen. The Porsche board said it would increase its current shareholding in Volkswagen to mom than 30%, at which point it will be legally obliged to make a bid for the whole company.
[难点] 保时捷公司到底有没有接管整个大众汽车公司?30%是保时捷公司刚新增加买进的股份，还是它在大众汽车公司中的全部股份?根据原文“increase its current shareholding in Volkswagen to more than 30%”，可知这是保时捷公司占有大众汽车公司股份的目标，而不是单单新增买进的股份。而根据原文时态、上下文甚至常识也可以推断出，保时捷公司还没有接管整个大众汽车公司。

【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析]
Suspected insurgents attacked an Islamic school in Thailand last night. Police say three boys were killed and seven were injured. Violence in southern Thailand has increased since a military-installed government took power in September.
[难点] 原文只提及“Police say three boys were killed and seven were injured”，没有说警察是政府部署的，也没有提及警察去抓捕袭击学校的起义者。题目故意打乱原文事件的因果顺序，并添加了原文没有的信息。稍不注意，就可能掉进陷阱。
