The momentum is building ahead of next month’s G8 summit in Scotland where the leaders of the world’s richest nations will debate what they can do to help some of the world’s poorest. Africa is the priority and the politicians will discuss reducing the debt burden, ending trade regulations which put the continent’s economy at a disadvantage, and giving more aid. The solution, or, at least, the project SOLD as the solution to, has been "aid": emergency aid, development aid, agricultural aid, economic advice. Billions of dollars worth of it. The problem with this solution is that, patently, it hasn’t worked. On the whole, Africa has got poorer. The failure hasn’t really been the idea of real aid but the misuse of that term. Clearly, if, in the famous phrase, you "teach a man to fish" you’re probably helping him.
Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.
1. What would be NOT discussed in G8 Summit?
2. What’s the reason for the failure?

选项 A、Reducing the debt burden.
B、Ending trade regulations which put the continent’s economy at a disadvantage.
C、Giving more aid.
D、Paying back consultancy fees for aid officials.

答案 D

解析 推理题。文中第一段第二句话提到:政治家们将讨论减少非洲的债务负担,结束那些束缚非洲经济发展的贸易规则,而且要给与非洲更多的援助,而且要给予非洲更多的援助。而D选项内容不包括在内。
