What’s behind the tension in Belfast?_____ A: Northern Ireland doesn’t belong to the Republic of Ireland.
B: Northern Ireland plans to break away from Ireland
C: Northern Ireland intends to become independent.
D: Ireland is too complicated a country to be united.
参考答案: A
本题解释:【答案】A。解析：根据题干关键词定位到第一段What’s interesting is that Northern Ireland is not part of the Republic of Ireland. It’s part of the United Kingdom, and that’s what’s behind this tension.(有趣的是：北爱尔兰不是爱尔兰共和国的一部分，它是英国的一部分，这就是贝尔法斯特紧张的原因。）因此，正确答案为A项“北爱尔兰不属于爱尔兰共和国”。B项“北爱尔兰计划脱离爱尔兰”,C项“北爱尔兰打算独立”和D项“爱尔兰是一个太过复杂的国家而难以统一”均不符合题意。
