[1]In a statement, the US president says he is taking the action, because the conflict in Darfur threatens the national security and foreign policy of the United States. The asset freeze is being imposed on four Sudanese identified by the U.N. Security Council as being involved in organizing and carrying out cruel and violent actions in Darfur. The president’s order comes days before rallies are planned in Washington and throughout the United States to protest the three-year war in Darfur.
    [2]Celebrities such as Academy Award winning actor George Clooney are scheduled to speak at the rally. Clooney, who just returned from a trip to the Darfur region, told reporters in Washington the world’s attention needs to be focused on what he called the "first massive murder of the 21st century."
1. Why is the U.S. president taking actions in Darfur?
2. Who is scheduled to speak at the rally?
选项 A、The asset of the US there has been frozen.
B、The conflict there threatens the U.S. national security.
C、Rallies are planned to protest the war there.
D、The U.N. Security Council is involved in the issue there.
答案 B
解析 新闻开头提到，美国总统表示，他正在采取行动，因为在Darfur的冲突已经威胁到美国的国家安全和外交政策(threatens the national security and foreign policy of the United States)，B中的threatens the U．S．national security提到了其中一点，故为正确答案。A“美国财产被冻结”张冠李戴，新闻是说4个苏丹人的财产被冻结。美国总统的声明发表在集合之前(days before rallies are planned)，故C所说的集会不可能是总统采取行动的原因。D只是胡乱拼凑了新闻中的U．N．Security Council和involved，“联合国参与其中”并非美国总统采取行动的原因。
