　　News Item One

　　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 thirty injured. No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday. Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists. Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand's three Southern-most provinces. Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population and have long complained of neglect and discrimination in the largely Buddhist nation. They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic State. Since 2004, they have carried out numerous attacks in the south and more than 1,900 people have been killed. The Thai government has been unable to curb the violence though thousands of troops have been sent to the south.

　　1.What happened during the New Year celebration in Thailand?

　　2.What led to the violent situation in the south of Thailand according to the news?

　　参考答案：

　　【小题1】D

　　【小题2】A

　　习题解析：

　　【小题1】新闻开始就提到九枚炸弹在曼谷各处爆炸，破坏了新年庆典。之后的内容是对此次炸弹袭击的背景介绍和对肇事者的猜测，故本题选D。

　　【小题2】新闻中提到They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic State.他们要求独立并建立独立的伊斯兰国家，这里的they指的是前面提到的泰国南部三省的居民，因为他们大多信仰伊斯兰教，认为自己生活在以佛教为主流宗教的泰国而受到了歧视，因此该地区居民要求独立，故选A。
