单选题
Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A

Many people protested in the past six months.

B

Many people threw tomatoes at the German Chancellor.

C

Many people threw eggs at an important member of the German Chancellor’s Social Democrats.

D

Many people threw eggs at the German Chancellor, but he was not hit.

参考答案和解析
正确答案: C
解析:
事实细节的找寻和判断。根据录音结尾提到的“Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks…”,可知,这次抗议持续了六周,而非选项A中的six months。另外,录音中提到“The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats”,可知抗议过程中有人朝Gerhard Schroeder总理领导的社会民主党中一位重要人物投掷番茄,由此可见,B项和C项的说法均有误。再者,录音最后的“Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark”,表明人们朝德国总理Schroeder扔过鸡蛋,但未击中,可见,选项D与录音原文内容相符。
【录音原文】
  The mushy remains of a tomato thrown at a prominent member of Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats has posed a legal dilemma for authorities trying to assess how to punish the thrower. Police investigating the fruit, thrown by an unemployed protestor at the premier of the state of Brandenburg, said they have concluded it was a yellow tomato. Had it been a soft red one, the man would have faced a lesser charge of causing malicious damage. A harder, green tomato could carry the tougher charge of bodily harm. A yellow one is somewhere in between. “In these types of cases it has to do with the consistency of the fruit,” said a spokeswoman for the court in the eastern city of Cottbus. No decision on the charge has yet been reached. Social democratic politicians have been facing the wrath of the public in recent months, especially in the economically depressed east where many people face painful jobless benefit cuts from January 2005. Tens of thousands have joined protests in the last six weeks and Schroeder himself has been pelted with eggs, none of which hit their mark.
