【题目】(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 (失去亲人的) families behind the appeal has said it fears the prisoners, all in connection to the deaths of Israelis, will return to violence once freed.

1Why did Israel free 26 Palestinian prisoners early Wednesday?

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

【解析】试题分析:本文讲的是以色列释放了26名巴勒斯坦囚犯,打破了自2008年以来,开始了目前的巴以和平谈判。在西岸和加沙,数百名巴勒斯坦人欢迎囚犯回家。他们被当作英雄,2000多人欢迎释放21名囚犯到西岸,在拉马拉的巴勒斯坦总统艾哈迈迪阿巴斯迎接了他们。阿巴斯说,与以色列的最终和平协议,释放囚犯是可能的。事实上,以色列最高法院早些时候拒绝了上诉,打算取消释放囚犯。一个组织在呼吁家庭失去亲人表示担心囚犯,牵连到以色列人的死亡,最终释放了囚犯。

1】细节理解题。根据文中第一段开头“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,以色列释放了26名巴勒斯坦囚犯,四组的第二轮是一项协议,开始了目前的巴以和平谈判的一部分发布。可以看出释放囚犯是巴以谈判的一部分,故选B

2】细节理解题。根据第一段开头,很容易误认为是26个人。事实上,第一段结尾处“In all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.”句意:合计,有104位囚犯将会在四轮接下来的几个月内被释放。故选D

3】细节理解题。排除法。根据第一段“Israel freed 26 Palestinian prisoners early Wednesday,.... as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, the whole part of 不符,选项A排除;“In all, 104 prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.”是总共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.”超过2000个民众欢迎被巴勒斯坦总统问候的21名囚犯,所以不是所有的囚犯,排除C。从文中可以看出巴勒斯坦人很欢迎囚犯们释放回家的,故选D

4】细节理解题。文中倒数第二段“There will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners”句意:没有释放所有的囚犯,将不会有任何最终协议。可以看出这个协议是建立在释放所有囚犯的基础上的,故选A

5】推理判断题。最后一段开头“Israel’s 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时候拒绝了上诉,打算取消释放囚犯。所以不是所有人支持释放囚犯的,而以色列最高法院只能说一些以色列人不同意释放囚犯,部分不能代替整体,排除AC。结尾处主语是是An organization of bereaved (失去亲人的) families,而不是巴勒斯坦囚犯,排除D;故选B

【题目】You never see him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going,how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book.They're known as the black box.

When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine (潜水艇) detected the device's homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.

In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U.S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device(装置) was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane – the area least subject to impact – from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.

Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations,and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments. Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉. When submerged, they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they're still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
