【C13】

选项 A、common
B、separate
C、several
D、public

答案A

解析 本题考核的知识点是:对应成分分析——and对应+前后呼应。regional trade和 institutions含义相同,性质一致。common意为“共同的”。根据句子上下文,前一段出现a commoncentral bank,可见一体化进程中应包括共同机构的设立,项A选项common正确。B选项separate,C选项several和D选项public均不符合题意。全句可译为:长久以来,建立一个货币统一组织就是西非国家经济共同体的一个目标,这最早可以追溯到1975年该组织的成立。这个目标还打算伴随更广泛的一体化进程一起实现。这一进程应包括加强地区贸易和共同机构的协作。
