Relations between the United States and Colombia suffered for many years because of an incident involving the Republic of Panama. By the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898, many Americans felt that an easier and faster way was needed to get ships from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Some people in the United States first believed that a canal across Nicaragua was the answer. However, President Theodore Roosevelt decided that a canal through Panama would be a better choice.
In order to build the canal, the United States had to negotiate a treaty with Colombia, which at that time controlled Panama. Roosevelt offered Colombia $ 10 million plus $ 250 000 a year for 99 years for a six-mile-wide strip of land across Panama. Colombia rejected the United States’ offer. This angered President Roosevelt, and negotiations with Colombia ended.
In 1903, a revolution broke out in Panama. The United States ships were sent by President Roosevelt to protect the Panamanian revolutionaries from Colombian forces. The revolution succeeded, and Panama declared its independence from Colombia. The United States then negotiated with the newly formed government. A treaty was signed, and the United States began building the canal.
As a result of the incident, Colombia and the United States remained on bad terms for many years. Not until 1921, when the United States agreed to pay Colombia some compensation for its lost territory, did relations between the two countries improve. [br] As it is used in the fourth paragraph of the passage, the phrase "on bad terms" means______.
选项
A、to learn to accept something
B、on conditions that one/somebody else decides
C、to have a bad relationship
D、to get along with somebody
答案
C
解析
我们从文中最后一句得知,美国在为哥伦比亚失去领土作了一些补偿后,两国关系才得到改善。由此我们可以推知,在此之前两国关系是紧张的。结合第三段中所讲的美国支持巴拿马革命者争取独立,可知哥伦比亚和美国的关系一定是处于恶化状态。
