German Chancellor Angela Merkel won over German voters in the Federal Election on Sept. 27. Can she now be won over by a French charm offensive （ 1 ） at repairing the
relationship that was once at the heart of Europe? That's the question being asked in Paris, （ 2 ） top government
officials are （ 3 ） talking about their desire to rekindle closer ties （ 4 ） their neighbors across the Rhine. （ 5 ） the end of World War II the Franco-German relationship has been the motor of European integration, the （ 6 ） force behind the creation of the European Union and, more recently, the introduction of the euro. But the ardor has （ 7 ） in this decade, particularly under Merkel, who has regularly struggled to （ 8 ） her irritation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy's grandstanding. Sarkozy, （ 9 ）, has often been impatient with what he （ 10 ） Merkel's lack of resolve. The sometimes （ 11 ） personal rapport is a long way from the public shows of affection their predecessors staged, particularly Helmut Kohl and FranCois Mitterrand, who
movingly held （ 12 ） in 1984 in a Verdun cemetery. There's been tension on （ 13 ）, too. Charles Grant, director of the London-based think tank Centre for European Reform, points out that France and Germany have been （ 14 ） on issues from how best to reflate their economies during the economic

A.conducted B.struck C.intended D.aimed 答案：D
[解题思路] 本题考查动词与介词at的搭配。分析句子结构可知．本句主干为she now be won over by a French charm offensive。选项中给出4个动词过去形式，由于句子主谓宾结构完整，因此此处应该为后置定语修饰offensive。此处意为，她(默克尔)现在是否会被法国______修复以欧洲为核心的魅力战术所打败呢?因此[D]aimed为正确答案，且aim at doing sth.符合句子结构。[A] conducted不与at搭配，当构成短语be conducted to时，表示“旨在”；[B] struck与at搭配表示“打击”，与题意不符；[C] intended与to搭配，表示“打算，想要”。 2.
A.which B.that C.where D.when 答案：C
[解题思路] 分析句子结构可知，空格前后为两个完整的分句，由此推测此处应该填人连词。前一分句意为“这是法国正在问的问题”，后一分句意为“高级政府官员______讨论与莱茵河对岸的邻国重建更紧密联系的愿望”。此处连词应该指代前面的Paris，表示地点，所以应用where引导非限制性定语从句。[A] which也能引导非限制性定语从句，但它一般指代前面句中提到的某个事物或某件事情；[B] that一
般不引导非限制性定语从句；[D] when引导的非限制性定语从句一般指代前面提到的时间，三个选项均不符合题意，故排除。 3.
A.confidentially B.openly C.zealously
D.conservatively 答案：B
[解题思路] 分析这个分句．句子结构完整，由此可知空格处需要填入副词修饰动词talking作状语。本句意为“高级政府官员______讨论与莱茵河对岸的邻国重建更紧密联系的愿望”。既然是开会讨论，那么应该是公开性的言论，由此可知[B] openly符合题意。[A]
confidentially，用法举例：He told me confidentially that he's thinking of resigning next year．他私下告诉我他正打算明年辞职。开会表达的愿望不应该是私下讨论的。故排除[A]。文章并未涉及高级政府官员开会时的情绪状况，故排除[C] zealously。开会讨论的事情就不应该有保守意见，所以[D] conservatively也不符合语境，用法举例：Benefits in the reform of reductions in acute health effects and increased agricultural output were
conservatively estimated at $5 billion．从减少重大健康影响和提高农业产量的改革中所获得的利润，保守估计也有50亿美元。 4.
A.towards B.with C.against D.off 答案：B
[解题思路] 空格所在的句子是…closer ties______their
neighbors…，本句重点是掌握句中的ties意为“联系，关系”，能与tie搭配的介词只有with，表明德同与邻闰之间相互联系的关系，因此[B]为正确答案。[A]towards与[C] against都有明显的方向性，一般用来形容带有方向的动作或事物，用法举例：the attitude
towards failure“对待失败的态度”；the fight against evil“同
