选项 A、principle
B、business
C、cooperation
D、policy
答案D
解析 前文说的是两位领导人之间个人关系紧张，根据空格后的too可知，本句是从另一方面进一步阐述两国之间的紧张关系。根据后文中的how best to reflate their economies．the smartest strategies for dealing with Russia等关键词可知，此处应该从国家事务等方面说明两国关系紧张，由此可知[D] policy是对后面举例说明的两国不和谐关系方面的概括，所以为正确答案。[A] principle用法举例：We adhere to the principle that everyone should be treated fairly．我们坚持人人都应该被平等对待这一原则。[B] business用法举例：Business is business．公事公办。[C] cooperation用法举例：Our success was attributed not so much to your help as to our cooperation．我们的成功与其归功于您的帮忙，不如归功于我们的合作。
