这儿的三个题目中, 第一题为识图题,综合一下短文第一段内容,可知内宁位于非洲西部,濒临几内亚湾,在burkina faso 和niger 之南,其西为togo,其东为nigeria ,所到之处以{c}为正确答案,第二,三题要复杂些,必须首先对二段进行分析,了解该国政权更迭的情况和顺序以及该国的历史变迁。该国领导人从1960年首位总统Maga 开始,到1975年真马似地共有五任。尽管头绪繁多,线索还是比较清楚的。第二题正确答案是{D}。从文中知道,该国另一个名字-----达荷马-----是法国殖民统治时的产物,在这以前,原址有上个国家叫内宁。1975年,民族主义政府将国家名称恢复为内宁。因此第三题答案是{ B}。
