答案：CD



The emergency（紧急事件，突发事件） plan announced（宣布） by the Kenyan Cabinet this week includes mobilizing （动员）the army to assist（帮助） those desperately（绝望地） short on food and water. The plan also nearly doubles the amount of rationed（限量供应，配给供应） food and provides emergency measures（措施） for herders（牧民） whose livestock（家畜，牲畜） is threatened by the area’s severe（严重的） drought（干旱）. Rockefeller Foundation food security analyst Joseph Nyoro welcomed the government’s announcement, but said the relief（缓解，减轻） plan was inadequate（不足）. Nyoro is also critical（关键的） of the government’s decision to rely on the army as the main vehicle（车辆; 交通工具） for the assistance, saying it is the local communities and the civil society that actually know in each area who are suffering the most. The water shortage is also causing a severe energy shortfall（空缺，亏空） across the country, which relies heavily on hydro-electric（水利电气的） power. Kenya’s major power company has instituted（创立） systematic（系统性的） power rationing until power supplies improve.
