Passage Three
How do the militants justify their kidnapping of oil workers
A．They argue that oil resources in the Niger Delta region are exhausting.
B．They are not satisfied with the generous pay of the oil workers.
C．They claim that the Niger Delta region is off limit to foreign oil companies.
D．They see their action as protest against the uneven distribution of the oil wealth.
参考答案：D
解析：
[分析]： 逻辑关系的找寻和判断。 原文指出Militants have kidnapped oil workers to bargain for a greater share of the wealth from Africa’s largest crude producer 即武装人员绑架石油工人是为了与非洲最大原油生产者分享财富而讨价还价，为此，他们理论道residents remain deeply impoverished， benefiting little from oil wealth while government officials and oil companies grow rich 由此可见，他们绑架石油工人是因为石油财富的分配不公。由此可见，D项说法与原文相符，是正确答案。[解题关键] 掌握动词不定式表目的的用法，有助于正确解题。如本题原文中to bargain for表明了绑匪的目的。
