Malawi is one of the poorest nations in Africa with millions of people living under the poverty line. Unemployment rates are high. And those who have jobs have low wages. Yet a recent survey shows that many Malawians are using more than half of their monthly incomes on mobile phone usage. This makes Malawi one of the most expensive countries in the world to use cell phones.
    In fact, a report by the International Telecommunications Union, ITU, says on average, Malawians use more than twelve dollars a month on cell phones.
    Lack of competition is why mobile costs are so high. The government might be forced to intervene to bring down the cost of using a mobile phone. Many consumers also want the providers to give them value for their money by improving the quality of service they get.
1 What is the result of the recent survey?
2 Why are the mobile costs so high in Malawi?

选项 A、Because of the government’s interference.
B、Because of the high-level consumer-service.
C、Because of lack of competition in the market.
D、Because of the low income of consumers.

答案 C

解析 题目询问马拉维手机收费高昂的原因。新闻后段提到“手机费用如此之高的原因是缺乏市场竞争。”(Lack of competition),故C正确。
