［解析］新聞開頭提到FrenchforcessaytheyhaveenteredKidalinthenorthofMali,指出法國

軍方聲稱他們已經到達了馬里的北部城鎮基達爾，因而B項表述符合新聞原文，故選B。其他選項內

容均與新聞內容不符，排除。

3、C

［聽力原文］

WhydidtheFrenchlaunchthemilitaryoperation?

［解析］本題考查法國發起此次軍事行動的原因。新聞中提到法國發起此次軍事行動是因為

Islamistmilitantsappearedtobethreateningthesouth,即伊斯蘭武裝分子顯現出對南部的威脅，而

新聞開頭在提到法軍已經進駐基達爾之后，對基達爾鎮作進一步的說明中用了secure一詞，故表明法

國軍隊發起此次軍事行動的目的在于保護基達爾鎮，故選C。

［解析］新聞中指出，樂施會(Oxfam)星期二發布的一份報告稱，世界糧食需求量將在2030年前增

長70%,故正確答案是B項。

預讀四個選項可知本題是數字題，聽音時可在選項旁邊做筆記。A項是利用新聞中的20years

進行干擾。C項是低收入人群的食品支出比例；D項則是利用17的語音制造干擾。

5、B

［解析］新聞中指出，為了解決糧食需求、控制價格猛漲的局面。可以從大規模生產商品糧

(large-scalecommercialfoodproducers)轉型為地方上的小規模種植(smalle門ocalgrowers),即調整

商品糧生產規模，B項與新聞內容相符。

由四個動名詞短語以及food、cultivate、market等詞可推測本題問的是有關糧食問題的具體做

法，聽音時應注意聽清新聞提出的各種措施。新聞中提到，為控制糧食價格猛漲，可以增加糧食儲備

(boostingfoodreserves)、結束將糧食作物用作生物燃料(endingtheuseoffoodcropsinbiofuel)以

及停止世界糧食市場的投機買賣行為(endingspeculation),A項“減少糧食儲備”和D項“鼓勵糧食市場

的投機行為”和新聞內容相反。C項“開墾更多的耕地”沒有在新聞中提到。
