Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions.
More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project.
The demonstrators had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, which would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters.
The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. "This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law," he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site.
They carried placards that read "No Nukes is Good Nukes" "Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power" and "Stop Private Profits from Public Peril. " They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally, gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
What were the demonstrators protesting about?
选项
A、Private concern for private profits.
B、The establishment of Nuclear Power Station.
C、The project of nuclear power construction.
D、The fear brought by the nuclear power.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。第三段讲到,示威者指责核电站建在人口稠密地区不安全,会对海湾造成热污染。由此可知,示威者不是仅为个人利益而反对建设核电站,故排除A项。第二段提到,越来越多的示威者聚集在核电站的建筑工地,要求取消建造核电站的计划,即他们抗议的是建立核电站的计划,故C项为答案,同时排除B项。文中没有提及示威者对核电站本身的恐惧,故排除D项。
