In Bolivia, life is slowly returning to normal after almost a month of demonstrations. Thousands of mainly native people—from poor peasant farmers to miners have been demanding nationalization of the country’s gas industry and calling for constitutional reform. The protesters are angry at what they see as the exploitation of Bolivia natural resources by foreign companies and governments.
There’s a long history of the country’s rich natural resources being exploited by foreigners with little financial reward for the population, 60 percent of whom are of native origin. Many now hope the new president, Eduardo Rodriguez, may find a solution to the country’s problems.
The new president will have more on his agenda than calling elections and deciding the future of Bolivia’s natural resources. Overcoming the shocking inequality of life in this poor country is the most serious challenge, and it seems, the only way to ensure a peaceful future.
1. What are the main demands of the demonstrators?
2. What is the most serious challenge of the new president?
选项
A、Exploitation of Bolivia natural resources and new election.
B、Constitutional reform and new election.
C、Financial reward for the native population and constitutional reform.
D、Nationalization of the country’s gas industry and constitutional reform.
答案
D
解析
新闻提到,当地人组成了游行队伍,要求国家的天然气工业国有化(nationalization of the country’s gas industry),同时要求进行宪法改革(constitutional reform)。故正确答案为D。由新闻可知,抗议者反对的是外国公司和政府对本国自然资源的开采,故这种开采已在进行,不是抗议者的要求,排除A。B中的“新选举”并没有在新闻中提到。C错在“对本国人口的经济回报”,这并不是抗议者的诉求。
