Question 16
A、It was about the ban on wearing jewelry made from ivory.
B、It passed an international law to cease illegal hunting of elephants.
C、It announced that it should be illegal to make any transactions of ivory.
D、It was aimed at promoting the welfare of African peasants and workers.
Q: What do we learn about the international agreement signed in 1990?
问: 关于1990年签署的那项国际协议,我们能够了解到什么?
解题思路:
(1) 四项均以it为主语,且各自谓语部分为 about pass, announce, be aimed at。
(2) 三项都与大象有关(两项提到 ivory,一项提到 illegal hunting of elephants)
结论: 本题考查与 it 有关的内容,且与非法捕猎大象、象牙交易相关,需要注意听 it 所指代的内容以及与大象及象牙相关的信息。
解析: 本题题干问关于1990签署的那项国际协议,我们能够了解到什么。文章开头就提到,1990年100多个国家共同签署了一份协议,规定买卖象牙为非法行为,C项与此含义一致,故为答案。需注意C项是对原文的同义转述,原文中 buy or sell ivory 在正确选项中被转述为 make any transactions of ivory。
