Most of the main opposition parties in Sudan are withdrawing from all the elections this month the first multi-party elections since 1986. [1]They won’t take part because of concerns about fraud and security. On Wednesday, the presidential candidate for the former southern rebels Yassir Arman pulled out. Special Envoy General Scott Gration from the US government has been in Khartoum trying to save the elections.
    Several major opposition parties have announced [2]they will boycott the Sudanese elections at every level. Earlier today, they told the BBC they would boycott the presidential elections in protest of what they believe will not be free and fair polls. Now several of the parties have decided [2]not to compete in the congressional or state elections either. The decision strikes a real blow at the elections which were meant to hold the democratic transformation in Sudan.
    1.What caused the opposite parties to quit the election?
    2.What is the news item mainly about?
选项 A、The presidential election.
B、Election rescue.
C、Boycott of election.
D、Political transition.
答案 C
解析 主旨大意题，应综合新闻的整体内容。新闻指出，苏丹大多数反对党这个门已经退出所有的选举，一些反对党声称他们将抵制苏丹的各种选举。他们还告诉BBC电台说他们将抵制总统选举。某些在野党甚至决定不参与议会和州际选举。由此可知新闻主要讲的是抵制选举这一事情，新闻中反复出现了boycott“抵制”一词，故止确答案是C项。B项和C项的意思正好相反，听录音时应特别注意把握全文对选举的态度，A项“总统选举”只是在说一些反对党声明他们将抵制总统选举时提到，排除A项。B项“挽救选举”和C项“抵制选举”正好相反，新闻中有提到美国特使在尽力挽救选举，但这并非新闻主要讲述内容。D项“政治转型”在新闻末尾有涉及，但这只是解释选举对苏丹而言意味着民主转型，也不是新闻的主要内容。
