Thousands of people living in villages closest to the volcano have already been moved to emergency shelters. Many more are lining up by the side of the road waiting for trucks to take them to safety. But still there are a few farmers refusing to move. Without their crops and animals they have no income and cannot support their families so they’re waiting until the government offers financial help. Meanwhile, the mountain above them is becoming more active by the day. At least one village about three kilometers from the volcano has been covered in a dusting of volcanic ash. One scientist told the BBC he now believed Merapi was in what he called the early stages of a blowout but he added "we cannot predict when it will reach its peak".
1. Why do some farmers refuse to move to emergency shelters?
2. What do we learn from the news report?
选项 A、Many people want to take crops and animals with them.
B、Government will offer financial help to the villagers.
C、Merapi will reach its peak very soon.
D、There has been one village being buried by ash.
答案 D
解析 新闻中提到在距离火山约三公里处，至少已有一个村庄被火山灰掩埋(has been covered)，D项has been buried是对原文的同义改写，故选D项。部分农民拒绝撤离，因为没有了农作物和牲畜他们将无以为生，他们希望政府给予经济支持，而不是想带着农作物和牲畜一起离开，A项错误。B项“政府将提供经济援助”没有在新闻中提到。科学家告诉BBC说已确认Merapi处于爆发早期阶段，但仍不能预测到火山爆发的高潮时间，C项与新闻内容不符。
