问题 共用题干G8 Summit

Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations(G8)will meet in Scotland in July this year. Representatives from China,India,Mexico,South Africa and Brazil have also been invited.Here's what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world's poorest' countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010.He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers and removing restrictions on African exports.This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests.On climate change,Blair wants concerted（共同的）action by reducing carbon emissions（排放）.
US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption.Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit,according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol（《京都议定书》）.Although the US is the world's biggest polluter,Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.
French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change.He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair's Africa proposals.Schroder's officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa's problems as"old thinking".Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they've solved the corruption problem.
Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage.Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard（跳板）next year to propose aid to the former Soviet republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Moldova.
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, for which he will be lobbying（游说）at the summit. And he's concerned about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear weapons programme.India has accepted the invitation to attend the G8 meeting.A:Right        B:Wrong        C:Not mentioned
选项 India has accepted the invitation to attend the G8 meeting.
A:Right       
B:Wrong       
C:Not mentioned
答案 C
解析 本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第一段提到：" Leaders of the Group of Eight Major Industrialized Nations(G8)will meet in Scotland in July this year.Representatives from China , India , Mexico , South Africa and Brazil have also been invited.”文章先说八大主要工业化国家的首脑参加，然后说中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这些国家也派代表参加，因此后者不属于八大主要工业化国家，与本题信息“八大主要工业化国家包括······”相反。
本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第二段末尾提到：" Blair wants concerted action by reducing carbon emissions.”这说明布莱尔希望共同行动减少碳排放，与本题信息一致。
本题给出的信息在文章中没有提及。文章只在第一段提到八大主要工业化国家的首脑参加，然后说中国、印度、墨西哥、南非和巴西这些国家也派代表参加，至于本题信息“印度接受邀请参加八国峰会”就不得而知了。
本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第三段开头提到：" US President George w.Bush agrees to give help to Africa.But he says he doesn't like the idea of increasing aid to coun-- tnes as it will increase corruption.”这说明虽然布什同意给予非洲帮助，但不同意提高援助，与本题信息“布什同意提高对非洲的援助”相反。
本题给出的信息是正确的。文章第四段提到：" French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa and climate change.”这说明希拉克在非洲和气候变化问题上支持布莱尔。本题信息“...takes a stand similar to...”的意思为“支持”。
本题给出的信息是错误的。文章第三段中间提到：" The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol.”与本题信息“布什将在峰会上签署《京都议定书》”相反。
本题给出的信息在文章中没有提及。文章最后一段提到日本首相小泉纯一郎优先考虑的是在联合国安全理事会上的一个席位，而且他也关心有关朝鲜民主主义人民共和国的核武器计划。而本题信息“日本将反对布莱尔增加对非洲援助的建议”根本没有提及。
