(RAMALLAH, West Bank) — Israel（以色列） freed 26 Palestinian（巴勒斯坦） prisoners early Wednesday, the second of four groups to be released as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, which had broken down since 2008. In all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.

In the West Bank and Gaza（加沙）, the mood was overexcited as hundreds of Palestinians welcomed the prisoners back home, after many had spent more than 20 years behind bars.

Crowds of people rushed toward the 5 prisoners released to Gaza, raising them on their shoulders, waving Palestinian flags and dancing to music. Relatives held signs that read “we will never forget our heroes.” More than 2,000 people welcomed the 21 prisoners released to the West Bank, who were greeted at a ceremony by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.

Hazem Shubair, thrown into prison in 1994 for the death of an Israeli according to the Israeli Prison Service, was over delighted upon his return to Gaza. “I am speechless,” he said. “Thanks to God. God is greater than the aggressors (meaning Israel)”.

Abbas said a final peace agreement with Israel was possible on the release of the prisoners. “There will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners,” he told the violent crowd.

Israel’s Supreme Court (最高法院) earlier refused an appeal that intended to cancel the prisoner release. An organization of bereaved (失去親人的) families behind the appeal has said it fears the prisoners, all in connection to the deaths of Israelis, will return to violence once freed.

A. Because they would take part in the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

B. Because that was part of an agreement between Israel and Palestinians.

C. Because the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks failed.

試題分析：本文講的是以色列釋放了26名巴勒斯坦囚犯，打破了自2008年以來，開始了目前的巴以和平談判。在西岸和加沙，數(shù)百名巴勒斯坦人歡迎囚犯回家。他們被當(dāng)作英雄，2000多人歡迎釋放21名囚犯到西岸，在拉馬拉的巴勒斯坦總統(tǒng)艾哈邁迪阿巴斯迎接了他們。阿巴斯說，與以色列的最終和平協(xié)議，釋放囚犯是可能的。事實(shí)上，以色列最高法院早些時(shí)候拒絕了上訴，打算取消釋放囚犯。一個(gè)組織在呼吁家庭失去親人表示擔(dān)心囚犯，牽連到以色列人的死亡，最終釋放了囚犯。

1.理解題。根據(jù)文中第一段開頭“Israel（以色列） freed 26 Palestinian（巴勒斯坦） prisoners early Wednesday, the second of four groups to be released as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, ”句意：在星期三早上，以色列釋放了26名巴勒斯坦囚犯，四組的第二輪是一項(xiàng)協(xié)議，開始了目前的巴以和平談判的一部分發(fā)布�？梢钥闯鲠尫徘舴甘前鸵哉勁械囊徊糠�，故選B。

2. all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.”句意：合計(jì)，有104位囚犯將會(huì)在四輪接下來的幾個(gè)月內(nèi)被釋放。故選D。

3. freed 26 Palestinian prisoners early Wednesday,.... as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, 與the whole part of 不符，選項(xiàng)A排除；“In all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.”是總共104名囚犯，故排除B；第三段“More than 2,000 people welcomed the 21 prisoners released to the West Bank, who were greeted at a ceremony by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.”超過2000個(gè)民眾歡迎被巴勒斯坦總統(tǒng)問候的21名囚犯，所以不是所有的囚犯，排除C。從文中可以看出巴勒斯坦人很歡迎囚犯們釋放回家的，故選D。

4. will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners”句意：沒有釋放所有的囚犯，將不會(huì)有任何最終協(xié)議�？梢钥闯鲞@個(gè)協(xié)議是建立在釋放所有囚犯的基礎(chǔ)上的，故選A。

5. Supreme Court (最高法院) earlier refused an appeal that intended to cancel the prisoner release. ”句意：以色列最高法院早些時(shí)候拒絕了上訴，打算取消釋放囚犯。所以不是所有人支持釋放囚犯的，而以色列最高法院只能說一些以色列人不同意釋放囚犯，部分不能代替整體，排除A和C。結(jié)尾處主語是是An organization of bereaved (失去親人的) families，而不是巴勒斯坦囚犯，排除D；故選B。
