Two months ago, Zogby International, a Washington-based research organization, conducted a public opinion poll in six Arab countries:
    Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The respondents, randomly chosen from different neighborhoods in various cities of each country, [1]were asked to give their opinion on a number of issues, including concerns facing their country and their personal life, economic development, employment opportunities and the likelihood of peace in the Middle East.
    [2]Overall, respondents expressed more satisfaction with their lives and more optimism about their future than they did in the poll conducted ten years ago. In Lebanon, both satisfaction and optimism have doubled. This is not surprising, says James Rauch, a professor at the University of California. "The Lebanese have experienced an enormous change now with the end of the Syrian occupation. They would have good reasons to be optimistic."
1. What were the respondents asked to comment on?
2. What do we learn about the result of the poll?
选项 A、In Morocco, both satisfaction and optimism have doubled.
B、Optimism grows generally in the Arab world in recent years.
C、Many Arab countries have improved the income of their citizens.
D、There is an acceleration of the economic growth in the Arab world.
答案 B
解析 新闻提到，总的来说，被调查者对他们的生活感到满意，对未来持乐观态度，这种满意度和乐观度高于10年前的民意调查，故答案为B。A“摩洛哥人民的满意度和乐观度成倍提高”中的Morocco应为Lebanon。C“许多阿拉伯国家提高了公民的收入”和D“阿拉伯地区的经济加速发展”都无法从新闻中推断出。
