"The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble (瓦砾;废墟) and to deliver the humanitarian relief-the food,water and medicine-that Haitians will need in the coming days,"he said.
He says search and rescue teams have been dispatched and more help is on the way.
"…because in disasters such as this,the first hours and days are absolutely critical in saving lives and avoiding greater tragedy,I have directed my team to be as forward leaning as possible in getting the help on the ground and coordinating with (与…相配合) our international partners as well,"he added.

"The reports and images that we have seen of collapsed hospitals,crumbled homes,and men and women carrying their injured neighbors through the streets are truly heart-wrenching.Indeed,this tragedy seems especially cruel and incomprehensible.Our thoughts and prayers are also with the many Haitian-Americans around our country who do not yet know the fate of their families and loved ones back home."he noted.

解答 64.A标题选择题.纵观全文不难看出A选项符合文章的主题.B项只是奥巴马演讲中的部分言语,属于枝节问题;C项是产生本文的引子,但不是文章谈论的中心;D项是奥巴马激励美国人民应做的事,也属行为枝节问题.故选A.
65.B词义猜测题.根据倒数第二段I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward.可知我向海地人们保证,不管今天,还是今后,美国都是你们的朋友和伙伴.由此可知,美国和海地的关系是很密切的.故选B.
66.C细节理解题.根据第四段search and rescue teams have been dispatched and more help is on the way可知美救援队已派出,其它援助将陆续到达,因此A和B两种说法就是错的.D选项中如果注意到incomprehensible和comprehensible的区别就不难做出选择.故选C.
