It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross campaign for a total ban on all anti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. "I knew the statistics," she said. "But putting a face to those figures broughtthe reality home to me; like when I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her."
The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines". And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.
But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused tosupport a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack On the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon (亂放炮的人)
The Princess responded by brushing aside the Criticisms: "This is a distraction (干擾) we do not need. AllI’m trying to do is help."
Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their Support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British governments policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.
To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkidnd, claimed that the Princess views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was "working towards" a worldwide ban.The Defence Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was "a misinterpretation or misunderstanding." -
For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems.

參考答案
1.[A] 根據(jù)題干中的時(shí)間、人名可以馬上找到信息源為文章第1句，其中的不定式正好與選項(xiàng)的形式一致,表示目的，只要將選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與原文第1句中的'不定式結(jié)構(gòu)內(nèi)容相對(duì)照即可得出答案為A。
2.[D] 此題考查語(yǔ)義及邏輯推理能力，關(guān)鍵在于理解brought the reality home to sb. (使某人了解到現(xiàn)實(shí))及I knew the statistics, but...的隱含義“我知道統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字，但是(沒(méi)想到會(huì)這么嚴(yán)重)”。再結(jié)合上文可知D的表述正確。C錯(cuò)在黛安娜不是親身看到那些受害者之后才相信該統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字的。
3.[B] 第3段第1句指出，回到倫敦，她的觀點(diǎn)并沒(méi)有得到英國(guó)政府的一些官員的認(rèn)可。黛安娜是支持banning landmines(禁止地雷)的，故英國(guó)政府的一些官員是反對(duì)禁止地雷，因此答案選B。而從第5段第2句“……黛安娜王妃出訪已獲英國(guó)外交部批準(zhǔn)，而且事實(shí)上她對(duì)安哥拉的形勢(shì)和英國(guó)政府有關(guān)地雷的政策都很了解。’’可知A、C、D的說(shuō)法均不正確。
4.[A] 此題關(guān)鍵在于理解第4段第1句中brush aside“無(wú)視,不顧，漠視”這個(gè)短語(yǔ)，A的paid no attention與brush aside同義,故選A。
5.[B] 根據(jù)文章最后一句，黛安娜總結(jié)其出訪安哥拉的意義，B中的brought her closer to the ordinary people是原文get closer to people and their problems的同義改寫(xiě)。
