A.They have caused a series of power failures recently.
B.They have betrayed trust of the general public.
C.They need improvement in management.
D.They demand promotion of security awareness.
参考答案:A
解析:事实细节的找寻和判断。根据题干要求,找寻到原文有关英国的部分,发现第一段第三句可满足解题需要“In Britain,where managerial incompetence and negligence over safety have fuelled a crisis of confidence in two big nuclear operators...”即“在英国,管理漏洞和对安全的忽视加剧了大众对两大核电站的信任危机……”,由此可见,只有选项a的说法与原文不符,因此该项是正确答案。 注意:正确理解关键词组的含义是解题的关键。如上句话中的managerial incompetence,negligence over safety和crisis of confidence分别与选项(c、d和b的说法相呼应。
