问题  
UP to 32 people were killed in two bomb attacks Monday in the Syrian city of Horns, near the border with Lebanon. The second attack killed people who gathered to see the damage of an earlier car bomb. A suicide bomber entered the crowd and exploded a bomb hidden in clothing.
    The attacks took place in the al-Zahraa district, in the central part of the city. State-controlled media say 19 people were killed in the two bombings. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says 32 people were killed. Many others were hurt.
    It was the second major attack in Horns since the government and rebel forces reached a ceasefire agreement this month. The government will take back areas of the city controlled by rebels.
    On December 12, two bombings killed at least 16 people. Those attacks also took place in the al-Zahraa district. The Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
    The Wall Street Journal newspaper reports that many people who live in the neighborhood are members of the Alawite sect. The newspaper reports the area is often "attacked by anti-government rebels armed with rockets and vehicle bombs."
5. What do we learn about the bomb attacks from the news report?
6. What did the state-controlled media say?
7. What happened on December 12?

选项 A、The government and rebel forces reached a cease-fire agreement.
B、The government took back areas controlled by rebels.
C、Two bombing attacks took place in the al-Zahraa district.
D、Anti-government rebels attacked the headquarter of The Wall Street Journal.

答案 C

解析 本题的关键是听清楚问题问的时间点是December 12。新闻末尾部分提到,在12月12日,发生的两起爆炸事件造成至少16人死亡,这些袭击也是发生在al-Zahraa区,故答案为C。A、B所说的事件也在新闻中出现,但并不是发生在12月12日,D拼凑新闻中的anti-government rebels和The Wall Street Journal,并没有实际根据。
