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、The idea of real aid.
B、The aid is not enough.
C、Debt is too heavy.
D、The misuse of the term "aid".

答案 D

解析 细节题。文中提到:援助失败不是他们的初衷,他的错误在于没有正确理解帮助的实质。这里的实际意思是说援助治标不治本,只给钱但是不教他们如何赚钱。故本题选D。
