问题     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【15】to the smartest strategies for dealing with Russia.

选项 A、conferences
B、hands
C、opportunities
D、prejudices
答案B
解析 空格所在句句意为：默克尔和萨科奇两人时而紧张的密切关系远比不上他们的前任所表现的亲密作秀，尤其赶不上1984年在凡尔登公墓______的赫尔穆特·科尔和弗朗索瓦·密特朗那么亲密。根据句意可知，此处体现了两位前任领导人表现出的比较好的关系，由此推断应该是握手以示友好，能够与held搭配表示具体行动的只有[B] hands符合句意。其他三个名词虽然都能与hold搭配，但是语义不符合原文意思，所以排除。[A] conferences与hold搭配，表示“召开会议”。[C] opportunities与hold搭配，意为“把握机会”。[D]prejudices用法举例：His book tells us that we should not hold prejudices towards races．他的书告诉我们不应该对种族存有偏见。
