选项 A、constructs
B、convinces
C、conceals
D、considers
答案D
解析 根据上题分析可知，本句是说明法国总统萨科齐对德国总理默克尔不耐烦的态度。根据what he______Merkel’s lack of resolve可知，此处需要填入对后面对象的认知或认识相关意思的词，因此[D] conesiders最为合适。其他三项均不符合句意，所以排除。[A] constructs用法举例：It took them two years to construct the bridge．他们用了两年时间建这座桥。[B] convinces用法举例：I try to convince him of the reality of the danger．我试图使他相信危险的确存在。[C] conceals用法举例：He couldn’t conceal his envy at my success．他掩饰不住对我的成功的忌妒。
