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 (干扰) we do not need. All I’m trying to do is to 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 Defense Secretary, Michael Porti-llo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding".
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn 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. (357 words)
Some members of the British government criticized Diana because______.
选项
A、she was ill-informed of the government’s policy
B、they were actually opposed to banning landmines
C、she had not consulted the government before the visit
D、they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola
答案
B
解析
本题属于语义推理题。根据题干可定位到第三段。从中我们得知:愤怒的政客们还在媒体发动了对王妃的攻击,他们把她描述为“所知甚少”和“乱放炮的人”。从这些描述可以看出,政客批评王妃主要是因为与王妃观点相左(refused to support a ban),反对地雷禁用,而说她对政府的政策知之甚少只是用来批评的一件武器而已。这样看来,B的说法是合理的。A相对于B来说太过表面化,不如B的说法深刻。C和A的意思差不多,都是说王妃对政府政策的无知。D所述的曲解一词“misinterpret”出现在倒数第二段,是在政府面对尴尬境地时的求全之词,与本题无关。
