[B]The fall of Karnak’s capital city into the hands of the rebel forces.
[C]The epidemic that has just broken out in the country of Karnak.
[D]The peace talks between the rebels and the government in Karnak.
【聽前預(yù)測】
選項均為名詞短語，且概括性均較強，故本題很可能考查對話的主旨。由 armed rebellion，the rebel forces，peace talks between the rebels and the government 等詞以及多次出現(xiàn)的Karnak可推知本對話很可能與Karnak國反政府武裝叛亂有關(guān)。
