Reports in Israeli media say Israel’s ambassador to the United States Michael Oren told Israeli diplomats that American-Israeli relations were facing a crisis of historic proportions. Washington is angry at last week’s announcement by Israel during a visit by the US Vice President that more new Jewish homes were to be built in occupied East Jerusalem. But on Monday, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament the building project would continue.
   Mr. Netanyahu has been presented with a choice, an violation with the right-wing members of his ally, or with the Americans. With his speech to the Knesset, he seems to have chosen to put the needs of domestic politics first It seems the Americans are so angry because they believe Mr. Netanyahu went back on an understanding. This was apparently that Israel would not push forward any big new settlement building projects in East Jerusalem. This was necessary if the Palestinians were to be persuaded to join the long delayed negotiations so difficultly put together by US go-betweens.
5. What did Michael Oren say about the American-Israeli relations?
6. What caused the crisis between America and Israel?
7. What does Netanyahu pay most attention to?
选项 A、America asked Israel to stop occupying East Jerusalem.
B、Israel refused to negotiate with Palestinian about Jerusalem issue.
C、More new Jewish homes had been built in occupied East Jerusalem.
D、The building project for Jewish homes in occupied East Jerusalem would go on.
答案 D
解析 新闻提到，美国和以色列的关系正面临危机。以色列宣称将在新占领的耶路撒冷东部建造更多新的犹太人家园，美国对此极为愤怒。但是首相Netanyahu还是告知以色列国会，这个建造的计划将继续。可见美以关系面临危机的起因是这个建造计划，并且这个计划还将继续进行，D正确。A“美国要求以色列停止占领耶路撒冷东部”和B“以色列拒绝与巴勒斯坦就耶路撒冷问题进行协商”均没有在新闻中提到。C“在耶路撒冷东部已经建了更多新的犹太人家园”说法有误，新闻中说的是即将会建(were to be built)。
