听力原文:At the Earth Summit in Johannesburg over a year ago, Israel and Jordan agreed to
look into building a "Red-Dead" pipeline that would run 320 km along their rugged desert border. Dubbed the "Peace Conduit", the canal would be the biggest Israel-Jordanian joint venture since their 1994 peace treaty. Israeli officials cite the importance of cooperation with former Arab enemies as one of the main reasons they favor the Red-Dead canal over an older "Med-Dead" proposal to take water from the Mediterranean Sea, which would not involve Jordan.
Why did Israelis prefer the "Red-Dead" canal to the "Med-Dead" proposal?
A.Because they wanted to cooperate with their former Arab enemies.
B.Because the Red-Dead canal would run across the desert.
C.Because the Med-Dead canal would be much longer.
D.Because they didn't want to take water from the Mediterranean Sea.
