The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats has posed a legal dilemma for authorities trying to assess how to punish the thrower. Police investigating the fruit, thrown by an unemployed protestor at the premier of the state of Brandenburg, said they have concluded it was a yellow tomato. Had it been a soft red one, the man would have faced a lesser charge of causing malicious damage. A harder, green tomato could carry the tougher charge of bodily harm, A yellow one is somewhere in between. "In these types of cases it has to do with the consistency of the fruit," said a spokeswoman for the court in the eastern city of Cottbus. No decision on the charge has yet been reached. Social democratic politicians have been facing the wrath of the public in recent months, especially in the economically depressed east where many people face painful jobless benefit cuts from January 2005. Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks and Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark.

选项 A、Because the politicians have failed to fulfill the objective of employment.
B、Because the court falls to convict the tomato-thrower very soon.
C、Because the unemployment benefits are going to be reduced
D、Because the unemployment benefits are going to be stopped.

答案 C

解析 1)掌握同义词替换。原文关键词jobless benefit cuts与选项中 unemployment benefits... to be reduced意思相同;2)掌握句中逻辑关系。通过上下文可知本题相关原文where定语从句说明了公众愤怒的原因,因此需对该部分重点处理。
