问题                        Bomb Explosions in Thailand
    The new year celebration in Thailand was shattered by violence, when nine bombs exploded across Bangkok around midnight. Three Thai citizens were killed and more than 30 injured.
    Among the injured, six were foreigners. No Chinese casualties were reported, the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok, the capital, said on Monday.  (46)______    But other embassies have advised their citizens to avoid traveling to Bangkok. "There is a possibility of further attacks in coming days," said a travel advisory (公告) from Australia. "Australians are urged to avoid unnecessary travel in Bangkok."
    No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday.  (47)______    Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces. Yala, Naarathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population and have long complained of neglect (忽视) and discrimination (歧视) in the largely Buddhist (佛教徒的) nation. They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic (伊斯兰的) state. Since 2004, the insurgents (叛乱者) have carried out numerous attacks in the south and more than 1,900 people have been killed.  (48)______
    But Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said on Monday that domestic politics rather than the Muslim insurgency was behind the bombings. "It is likely related to people who lost their political benefits," Surayud said, referring to Thaksin Shinawatra.
      (49)______    Surayud was later appointed interim (临时的) prime minister. Thaksin, however, still enjoys widespread support, especially in the countryside.
      (50)______    Thaksin’s lawyer, Noppadol Patama, denied his client’s involvement in the bombings, according to a local website.

    A. Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists.
    B. Some believe that several senior army officers loyal to Thaksin plotted the bombings with ousted (赶下台) politicians to discredit (败坏名声) the government.
    C. Thaksin was ousted in a military coup (政变) last September.
    D. The Thai Government has been unable to control the violence, though thousands of troops have been sent to the south.
    E. The embassy issued no travel warnings.
    F. Nobody is to blame.

选项
答案C
解析 前面一段讲到现任的总理Surayud Chulanont认为该爆炸和国内的政治以及那些失去政治利益的人有关，即暗指前总理Thaksin Shinawatra。空格的后面一句话说Surayud was later appointed…(Surayud后来被任命为……)，可以推断这前面一句话必定和Surayud上台前所发生的事有关，所以选C：Thaksin在去年9月的一次军事政变中被赶下了台。
