4. How did Diana respond to the criticisms?
A. She made more appearances on TV. B. She paid no attention to them.
C. She rose to argue with her opponents. D. She met the 13-year-old girl as planned.
5. What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?
A. It had caused embarrassment to the British government.
B. It had greatly promoted her popularity.
C. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
D. It had affected her relations with the British government.
答案:
1. D。由题干in 1997直接定位于文章第一句to support the Red Cross’s Campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines,D项是原文的同义改写。
2. D。本句中的figures,指的不是前面提到的统计数字,而是后面列举的小女孩Sandra等深受地雷伤害的人;另一个是bring sth. home这个短语是指“活生生的揭示,以强调的形式清楚的表示”。所以本句的意思是亲眼看到被地雷伤害的人使王妃深切感受到了事实。
3. C。由some members of the British government定位与第三段第一句,此处表明英国政府批评戴安娜的原因,即政府不支持禁雷。从第三段第二句可知,王妃的出访是得到了外交部的批准的,排除A,B和D是政府在媒体上对王妃的批评之辞,并没有说明真实的原因。
4. B。第四段第一句说明了王妃对政府对她的批评所持的态度。brush aside意思是“不理,漠视”,相当于pay no attentionto sth.
5. C。文章最后一段用王妃的话总结了她出访安哥拉的意义,即让她有机会贴近普通民众, C项是原文的同义转述。
