问题 What is the news item mainly about? [br]  
President Barack Obama is urging the U. S. Senate to act this week on extending benefits for 2. 5 million unemployed Americans. Mr. Obama says Americans without jobs are being held " hostage" by Senate Republicans who have blocked legislation to extend unemployment insurance that expired in June. (24)Three times in recent weeks, Republicans have used parliamentary tactics in the Senate to block the extension of benefits, angering the President at a time when he is trying to move this and other legislation through Congress before the congressional recess.
    The White House has declared the unemployment bill an emergency measure, meaning it does not have to be offset by spending cuts in other areas of the federal budget.

选项 A、The legislation aims for the benefits of unemployed Americans.
B、The Republicans have denied the law for many times recently.
C、The new bill is an emergency measure of American government.
D、The parliament members don’t agree with the adoption of the legislation.

答案 D

解析 归纳题。由句(24)可知,共和党议员利用议会在最近几周内三次阻止延长针对失业工人的失业保险,其未能通过的主要原因是共和党议员的反对。故正确答案为D。
