What will NOT be discussed by politicians during the G8 Summit?
[28]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. Mark Doyle, who’s reported from Africa for many years, looks at why aid is necessary, and why much of what’s been donated in the past has not worked. All around the edge of Africa—along the coastline, near the continents’ ports—[29]are monuments to exploitation. On the island of Goree, for example, just off the coast of Senegal, there’s the Slave House. [30]This was the last place many Africans saw before being shipped off to a lifetime of slavery in the Americas or, just as often, to death on the high seas. [29]There are many more places like this dating from the three hundred and fifty years or so of the African slave trade. When people wonder why Africa is SO poor, they need look no further for the start of an explanation. The end of the slavery was followed by a century of colonialism. Some people argue that colonialism brought limited development—railways and schools and so on—[29]the system was principally designed to turn Africa into a vast plantation and mining site for the profit of outsides.
选项
A、because of the systematic exploitation of Africans.
B、because of the unfavorable climate.
C、because the donation in the past didn’t work.
D、because of the war.
答案
A
解析
新闻提到,在非洲的一些海岸线上,大陆港口附近矗立着很多关于剥削的纪念碑。当人们问到非洲为什么会这样穷时,他们不需要听其他的解释。奴隶制度结束以后,非洲又经历了殖民统治。殖民统治使非洲成为一个巨大的种植园和矿区,来满足外人的利益要求。奴隶制度和殖民统治共同构成了对非洲人民系统的剥削。故正确答案为A。
