It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said, "But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her."
The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (乱放炮的人)."
The Princess responded by brushing aside the criticisms: "This is a distraction we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help."
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban. The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding."
For the Princess, the trip to this war-tom country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.
What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?
选项
A、It had caused embarrassment to the British government.
B、It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.
C、It had greatly promoted her popularity.
D、It had affected her relations with the British government.
答案
B
解析
细节题。文章最后一段最后一句话指出:她说,这次访问使她有机会亲近人民。这说明B正确。虽然确实使政府陷入了尴尬,但这不是王妃对这次访问的看法,所以A不对;王妃是利用她的知名度进行访问,以声明对禁用地雷的支持,而不是借访问提升知名度,这并不是她对这次访问的态度,所以C不对;访问确实影响了她与英国政府的关系,但是文中没有表明这是王妃对这次访问的看法,所以D不对。
