问题 What caused the doctors and scientists to call for more attention to young people’s death?
  
An international team of doctors and scientists is calling for more focus on the causes of death among young people around the world, age between 10 and 24, saying the issue is largely ignored by policy makers. A study published in the medical journal the Lancet found that 40% of adolescent deaths are caused by various forms of injury.
    Until this research was published there were little data on how many young people die worldwide in which countries and for what reasons. Now a pattern is emerging. The study suggests the death rate is strongly linked to how poor a country is. Most deaths are in the developing world driven by high rate of infectious disease and of maternal mortality. But globally 40% of adolescent deaths are caused by types of injury including road traffic accident, suicide and violent attacks.

选项 A、poverty.
B、unintentional injuries.
C、violent attacks.
D、natural disaster.

答案D

解析 细节判断题。新闻中指出,一篇发表在名为《柳叶刀》的医学杂志上的研究表明40%的青少年死因是各种形式的伤害造成的,研究认为死亡率和一个国家的贫困程度密切相关。发展中国家大多数的死亡是因为传染病和孕产妇死亡,但是全球40%的青少年死亡是由各种交通事故、自杀及暴力攻击所造成的。本题为反选题,故答案D正确。
