Newspapers and television reports around the world show Africa as a continent with many problems. They focus on the wars, the starving children, the terrible diseases, and the natural disasters. Other, more positive aspects of life in Africa are rarely shown.
There are, indeed, serious problems in many parts of Africa.【B1】 ________These wars are in part due to historical competitions among tribes. However, in the past, the fighting was local and small in scale. In recent years, it has become far more violent and destructive. This is partly because of the destructive power of modern weapons. It is also because the situation has changed dramatically.
Starting in the sixteenth century, European powers began to move into Africa. They took African people to sell as slaves in North and South America. They also took any valuable resources they could find, such as ivory, gold, or diamonds. In the nineteenth century, the European rulers divided up the continent into countries. 【B2】_______ When the countries of Africa became independent in the twentieth century, there were often several different tribes in a country, and each tribe wanted to rule. The result was conflict and civil war. 【B3】 ________Governing means having not. only power, but also access to wealth. In recent years, it has also meant having control over international aid and, therefore, access to food in times of starvation. 【B4】________ Countries that are at war have little time or resources to deal with poverty, hunger, or disease. They are unable to take any measures for a better future, and so many countries are becoming poorer and their problems are growing. For example, HIV has spread rapidly in Africa because of the lack of education, health care and medical supplies. Other diseases, many preventable, have spread quickly for the same reasons.
【B5】 ________ Ordinary people in many countries are joining together to change and improve their lives. Young and talented Africans are looking out to the rest of the world. They are experimenting with ways to use the Internet and other new technology to try to solve some of their problems. In the arts, and especially in music, many talented performers are showing the world what it means to be African.
Complete the passage with the following sentences. There are two extra sentences that you do not need to use.
A. In spite of these problems, however, many Africans are in the hope of having a good future.
B. Until then, a small minority of white people governed South Africa and blacks were forced to live separately from whites.
C. The biggest problem facing Africans today is the continuing threat of wars.
D. In many countries, the civil wars have been going on for decades as different groups fight for control of the government.
E. Through the Internet, Africans could have better access to information and better contacts with the rest of the world.
F. Many of the problems facing Africa today have been worsened by this fighting over control of the government.
G. They didn’ t understand much about African tribal traditions, and so the borders of these countries didn’ t match the traditional borders of tribal lands.
【B1】
选项
答案
C
解析
空白处上文提到非洲存在严重的问题,下文提到部落间的战争问题,因此该处应起到承上启下的作用,the biggest problem对应serious problems,continuing threat of wars对应these wars。故选C。
