【答案解析】[听力原文]
Even before his inauguration in January, Barack Obama indicated that he would seek a new relationship with the Islamil world, based on mutual interests and respect. Since taking office, decisions he has made — like closing the Guantanamo Detention Center within a year and banning harsh interrogation techniques on detainees have been welcomed in the Islamil world. But analysis say a turn around in relations may well hinge on the President's ability to bring Israelis and Palestinians together for a peace deal.
[解析] 新闻中提到奥巴马采取的措施有两条：在一年内关闭关塔那摩监狱以及禁止对被拘留人员使用严酷的审讯手段。只有B项符合原文意思。A项应该是within a year，而不是for a year。
