问题      UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan visited the troubled Darfur region of western Sudan Thursday to consider ways to end the humanitarian crisis. More than a million people have been displaced in Darfur because of violence that human rights groups blame on government-backed militias.
     Kofi Annan spoke with tribal and women leaders about the problems facing refugees in a camp called Zam-Zam, outside the city of E1-Feshir. The leaders said they were afraid to return home because of possible attacks by the Janjaweed militias. But overall, they said, aid groups were looking after them relatively well in the camp.
    From there, the secretary-general and his delegation went to a camp just 30 minutes away where aid workers said the security and living situation was more desperate. But’ the refugees were nowhere to be found. U.N. officials said some 4, 000 refugees, called internally displaced persons, or IDPs, had been in the camp the night before but they had been moved by Sudanese authorities. Jan Egeland, the U. N. ’s undersecretary-general of humanitarian affairs, said the U.N. did not appreciate the authorities’ actions. "But it was in our program actually to show the secretary-general and the secretary-general wanted to see how IDPs live when there are no services" ,"And this was such a place."
     Mr. Egeland was then risked ff this was a deliberate ploy by Sudanese authorities. "I’m sure it has happened before and I’m sure it will happen again. "The refugees moved to another camp are among the one million people in Darfur driven from their homes by Janjaweed militias.
     Human rights groups charge that the ethnic-Arab militias have been used by the government to terrorize the Darfur’s civilian population, which is ethnic-African, as part of efforts to put down an armed rebellion. Sudanese authorities deny supporting the Janjaweed and say they are working to disarm them. Until recently, they allowed little access to the region by aid workers.
     The conflict has given rise to what the U.N. calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis today. Refugees face hunger, epidemics (传染病)and continued attacks in camps in Darfur or over the border in Chad. From Darfur, Mr. Annan flew to Chad’s capital, Ndjamena, for more discussions on the Darfur crisis. He is expected to return to Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, Friday.
According to human rights groups,______.
选项 A、the government-backed militias are behind the violence
B、Darfur’s civilian population is Arab-African
C、the human right record of Sudan is rather good
D、sudanese authorities are cooperating with UN efforts
答案A
解析 这是一道细节题，定位点是“human rights groups”，据此，找到文章中的相关论述“Human rights…an armed rebellion”。故应选A ，即政府的国民警卫队使用暴力威胁人权。B “达尔富尔地区的居民是阿拉伯与非洲人的混杂”，文中指出这一地区的居民是非洲人。C “苏丹的人权纪录非常好”与文意相反。D “苏丹政府与联合国合作”与文意不符。
