听力原文: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says plans for his first summit meeting with moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas are on hold. Mr. Olmert told Cabinet ministers from his ruling Kadima Party that Mr. Abbas demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners as a condition for the meeting. Israeli government spokeswoman Miri Eisen says that is unacceptable.
"And that can not be preconditions."
Mr. Olmert said there would be no prisoner release until the Palestinians free a kidnapped soldier held in the Gaza Strip. Gunmen from the ruling Islamic militant group Hamas seized 19-year-old Corporal Gilad Shalit in a cress-border raid on an Israeli army base in June. The Hamas-led government is demanding the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the captive soldier. But Eisen says Israel will not cave in to what she calls terrorist blackmail.

A.Positive.

"Israelis have now arrested some 50 Islamic Jihad activists, saying the group isn't observing the truce. The Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas wants guarantees that Palestinians will have free passage in and out of Gaza after the pullout. He almost certainly won't get this. According to Israeli media, Ariel Sharon told Condoleezza Rice he wouldn't remove the closure on Gaza, until and unless Mr. Abbas takes action against Palestinian militias. Palestinian officials have low expectations. They say they will press for the release of more prisoners and the lifting of more check-points in the West Bank."

听力原文: PALESTINE
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has renewed his call for a ceasefire with Israel and he has criticized militants for rocket attacks that, he said, are counterproductive. Abbas, who is the front-runner in the January 9th Palestinian elections, said the rocket attacks are quoted "useless" because they provoke what he called a very grave Israeli escalation. He also accused Israel of hindering the Palestinian election campaign. Early today, Israel launched a new incursion into northern Gaza after a Qassam rocket wounded an Israeli woman. Palestinian witnesses says fifty Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers moved into Belt Hanoun in the Jabalia refugee camp.
IRAQ
The Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has said his patience over the situation in the insurgent-held city of Fallujah is wearing thin and negotiations to restore his government control there must come to an end soon. He said the government was in the final phase of efforts to secure the city without what he called a major military confrontation. US forces have carrying out repeated strikes against insurgents in Fallujah.

Four days before the UN Security Council is scheduled to discuss North Korea's nuclear program, Pyongyang is clarifying its views on the matter. A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman, quoted by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, says just bringing up the issue is "a prelude to war".
SPAIN
The Galileo system will be made up of 30 satellites beaming navigation signals to ground-control centers in the EU. Spain has been blocking a deal on how the system would be run, demanding to host one of the centers, but a compromise has now been reached allowing the multi-billion-dollar project to move ahead. But it's already running five years behind schedule. It's meant to be made up and running by 2013, but analysts say by then the American global positioning system may have already established an unassailable grip on the satellite navigation industry.

听力原文: The US State Department says Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit the Middle East and Africa in an overseas trip beginning July 16th. She will meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders and attend a trade conference in the Ghanaian capital, Accra. Rice's trip to the Middle East will be her fifth to the region this year, but her first since the militant Islam-ic group Hamas muted forces of the mainstream Fatah movement last month and seized control of the Gaza strip. The victory of Hamas, which the United States lists as a terrorist organization, dealt a blow to efforts by the Bush administration to shore up the position of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas of Fatah, who unlike Hamas recognizes Israel and supports a two-state settlement of the Middle East conflict. An official here said Rice will meet Mr. Abbas in Ramallah, and israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem, at the start of the five-day overseas trip that begins July 16th. There have been press reports that Rice may also at-tend a meeting in Egypt of the Middle East Quartet, a grouping that includes the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations and which has been trying to promote a settlement based on its 2003 "road map" for peace.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A.It's Rice' s fourth trip to the Middle East and Africa this year.
B.The Bush administration Wok a neutral stand after Hamas controlled Gaza strip.
C.Rice will meet both Palestinian President and Israeli Prime Minister.
D.Rice may attend a meeting in Jerusalem of the Middle East Quartet.
Mofaz, speaking at a weekly cabinet meeting Sunday, said Israel would launch a "massive, prolonged and intricate" military strike if the Palestinian Authority did not curb militants who have been attacking Israeli targets with rockets and mortar rounds in recent days, The Associated Press quoted a meeting participant as saying.
Sharon made a similar statement. "I spoke to the heads of the defense establishment and informed them that there are to be no restraints on our operations," Sharon said Sunday, according to The AP.
Israel has ordered troops near Israel's border with Gaza to prepare to enter the Gaza Strip if necessary a warning to the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to begin to move against militant groups.
Reuters reported that an Israeli Army sniper had killed a Palestinian militant in the Gaza Strip on Sunday.
The shooting followed the Israeli Army's arrest early Saturday of 30 members of the militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the West Bank. The army also fired rockets from helicopter gunships at three suspected Hamas weapons factories in Gaza City and Khan Yunis, army spokesmen said.
It is unlikely that Israel would move troops in force into Gaza with Abbas there, with the U.S. secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, scheduled to visit this week and with Israel's pullout from its Gaza settlements only a month away. Mofaz also says that Israel will give the Palestinian Authority time to control the violence.
Israel threatened to carry out a military strike if______.
A.Palestinian declared independence
B.Palestinian authority did not curb the militants
C.Palestinian authority support the military activities
D.Palestinian authority refused to join negotiation
