Question

Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤僑）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．The real surprise has been just how many Chinese are living there．The foreign ministry does not know for sure but puts the figure at 30-40,000．

The huge contingent （代表團） in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand．For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise．One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore．In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia．In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan．

Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation．Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference．The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主義的） actions it tries to shun．

Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（護衛(wèi)艦） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative（方案） is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise．China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice．”

試題分析：本文主要是關(guān)于中國從利比亞撤僑的描寫以及其它的相關(guān)信息、

1.C 主旨大意題。從文章的主題段第一段Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤僑）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．可知本文主要是關(guān)于中國從利比亞撤僑的描寫以及其它的相關(guān)信息，故C正確。

2.B 推理題。根據(jù)本句forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主義的） actions it tries to shun．說明現(xiàn)在的情況讓中國政府采取了他努力避免采取的干涉主義政策，中國政府要求是不干涉別國的政策的，故該詞是指避免，B正確。

3.C 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段前三行Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（護衛(wèi)艦） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．說明中國政府已經(jīng)參加了打擊索馬里海盜的斗爭，故C項中說中國絕不會參加，這樣的說法是錯誤的。

4.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)最后一段3,4,5行Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．說明徐州艦的史命是打擊索馬里海盜并警告那些可能影響中國利益的利比亞人。而不是C項中的所有利比亞人。C項少了限制語。故C項說法錯誤。
