20、。他担任总统一职四年有余，在家遇刺时，时年53岁，身后留下妻子和三个孩子。在他执政的最后一年中，对他的抗议一浪高过一浪。他拒绝下台，也不得不为自己辩护。在今年早些时候，他曾对纽约时报说：“我不是一个独裁者”。在媒体采访中，莫伊兹经常讲述自己成长于海地乡间大型甘蔗种植园的经历，并表示，他对依靠土地生存的广大海地民众能够感同身受。他曾运营一个大型农产品合作社，雇佣了3000位农民。但在他执政期间，莫伊兹遭受了广泛质疑，被指责为一个试图巩固权力的铁腕人物。还有人指控他利用强大的暴力团伙镇压政治反对派。但即使是莫伊兹的批评者也同意，海地的权势精英因垄断而获得了利润丰厚的合同，而莫伊兹的确曾尝试用自己的权力打破这一局面。这也为他招来了敌人。但也有人认为，他的反垄断运动是虚伪的，因为在对抗寡头的过程中，他也成为了其中的一员。拓展练习阅读理解参考答案16.D 17.A 18.C 19.C
