问题 Text4"My expectations and my happiness all got destroyed,that was the minute that it happened."So testified Sony Sulekha,one of the plaintiffs in the largest human-trafficking case ever brought in America.He and around 500 0ther Indians had been recruited to work in the Signal International shipyard in Mississippi.Each had paid at least$10,000 to a local recruiter working for Signal,expecting a well-paid job and help in getting a green card.Instead they laboured in inhumane conditions,lived in a crowded camp under armed guard and were given highly restricted work permits.Bonded labour is also common in parts of Pakistan,Russia and Uzbekistan-and rife in Thailand's seafood industry.A recent investigation by Verite,an NGO,found that a quarter of all workers in Malaysia's electronics industry were in forced labour.But the focus is now widening to the greater number of people in other forms of bonded labour-and the proposed solutions are changing.Campaign groups and light-touch laws,backed up by the occasional high-profile prosecution,aim to shame multinationals into policing their own supply chains.The Global Fund to End Slavery,which is reported to have substantial seed money from Andrew Forrest,an Australian mining magnate,will seek grants from donor govemments and part-fund national strategies developed by public-private partnerships in countries in which bonded labour is conmmon.The Freedom Fund finances research into ways to reduce bonded labour.The Freedom Fund's first schemes include assessments of efforts to free bonded labour in the Thai seafood industry,the clothing industry in southern India and-a harder problem,since the customers are rarely multinationals-in brick kilns in the Indian states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.Arguably,the lack of evidence about what works is the main obstacle to reducing the prevalence of modem slavery.America made human trafficking illegal in 2000,after which it started to publish annual assessments of other countries'efforts to tackle it.But it has only slowly turned up the heat on offenders within its borders.Australia and Britain have recently passed light-touch laws along the lines of a law requiring transparency in supply chains that was adopted by California in 2010.This requires manufacturers and retailers that do business in the state and have global revenues of at least$lOOm to list the efforts they are taking to eradicate modem slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains.Ending bonded labour will require economic as well as legal measures.Those desperate enough to get into debt for the chance of a job need better options,and long-standing recruitment practices must change.38.The barrier to the Free Fund's work lies inA.the absence of evidence oflabours.B.the failure to assess the number oflabours.C.the difficulty to prove the existence of bonded labours.D.the prevalence of bonded labours.
选项 A.the absence of evidence oflabours.
B.the failure to assess the number oflabours.
C.the difficulty to prove the existence of bonded labours.
D.the prevalence of bonded labours.
答案 A
解析 事实细节题。第五段最后一句提到“缺乏有关工作的证据是减少现代社会奴隶制盛行的主要障碍”，故A项是正确选项。【干扰排除】“评估数量”、“证明包身工存在”、“普遍性”是问题，但不是自由基金工作的主要障碍，所以B、C、D三项均排除。
