The multinational commodity trading company admitted that
A multinational commodity trading company, Trafigurn, has agreed to pay compensation to tens of thousands of people who say they were made ill by chemicals dumped in Ivory Coast three years ago. The company said it did not accept liability, but regretted any distress caused to the local population by the waste dumping.
Thousands of residents in Ivory Coast’s main city, Abidjan, reported a range of health problems after chemical waste was dumped there. Now 31,000 of them have been offered compensation by Trafigura in a multimillion dollar settlement. The company accepted that a firm they’d hired dumped chemical waste there illegally three years ago, but they denied the waste was toxic.
选项
A、the dumped chemicals accounted to the residents’ illness.
B、the waste dumping caused distress to the local people.
C、it should offer more compensation to the victims than it had.
D、it’s illegal to dump toxic waste.
答案
B
解析
新闻中提到,该公司同意赔偿受害者(…has agreed to pay compensation to…),并对垃圾倾倒事件为当地人民带来的苦恼表示愧疚(…regretted any distress caused to the local population…);但并不承认自己对此事负有责任(The company said it did not accept liability…)。言外之意就是,该公司承认倾倒垃圾给当地居民的确带去了distress,但并不承认这些垃圾导致了疾病。故[B]正确;同时排除[A]。[C]中的offer more compensation新闻中未提及。新闻结尾谈到,该公司承认,他们雇用的一个公司三年前曾非法倾倒化学废物,但是他们拒绝承认这些废物有毒;故[D]是对该处信息的错误理解。
