12.(RAMALLAH,West Bank)-Israel(以色列) freed 26Palestinian(巴勒斯坦) prisoners early Wednesday,the second of four groups to be released as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks,which had broken down since 2008.In all,104prisoners are to be released in four rounds over the coming months.
In the West Bank and Gaza(加沙),the mood was overexcited as hundreds of Palestinians welcomed the prisoners back home,after many had spent more than 20years behind bars.
Crowds of people rushed toward the 5prisoners released to Gaza,raising them on their shoulders,waving Palestinian flags and dancing to music.Relatives held signs that read"we will never forget our heroes."More than 2,000people welcomed the 21prisoners released to the West Bank,who were greeted at a ceremony by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah.
Hazem Shubair,thrown into prison in 1994for the death of an Israeli according to the Israeli Prison Service,was over delighted upon his return to Gaza."I am speechless,"he said."Thanks to God.God is greater than the aggressors,"meaning Israel.
Abbas said a final peace agreement with Israel was possible on the release of the prisoners."There will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners,"he told the violent crowd.
Israel's Supreme Court (最高法院) earlier refused an appeal that intended to cancel the prisoner release.An organization of bereaved (失去亲人的) families behind the appeal has said it fears the prisoners,all in connection to the deaths of Israelis,will return to violence once freed.

分析 本文主要讲的是星期三早上以色列释放了26名巴勒斯坦囚犯,这打破了自2008以来,104名囚犯将在第四轮在未来几个月内释放.
解答 61.B.细节理解题.根据第一段中的"the second of four groups to be released as part of an agreement that started the current Israeli-Palestinian peace talks"可知,故选B.
62.C.推理判断题.第一段说104名囚犯被分为四组,星期三释放的26人是第二批,那么两批被释放的应该超过26人,故选C.
63.D.正误判断题.第二段开头说,在约旦河西岸和加沙,数百名巴勒斯坦人欢迎这些囚犯的归来,因此D项正确.第一段说星期三被释放的是104名巴勒斯坦囚犯中的第二批,这是巴以和谈的一部分,故A、B错;第三段说被释放到约旦河西岸的21人受到巴勒斯坦总统Abbas的接见,故C错.故选D.
64.A.细节理解题.根据第五段中的"There will be no final agreement without the release of all the prisoners"可知,只有当被关押的巴勒斯坦人全部被释放之后才能签署最后的和平协议.故选A.
65.B.推理判断题.最后一段说,以色列最高法院早先拒绝了一项取消释放这些囚犯的请求,由此可知,部分以色列人不同意释放巴勒斯坦囚犯.故选B.
