【C14】______
选项 A、agree upon
B、agree on
C、agree to
D、agree with
答案D
解析  本题考动词短语。选择动词短语的依据来自对语篇连贯线索的确切理解。下文提到 Clinton持有different ideas，即他与国会的意见有分歧，因此答案为D．agree with(同意某人的意见、想法)。干扰项用法解析：A．agree upon和B．agree on表示“在某件事上取得一致意见”，C．agree to后接动词不定式。用法举例： I don’t agree with you on this point．我不同意你的这个观点。 He finally agreed to participate in the experiment．他最终同意了参加实验。至此，全部答案已做完。考生应再重新通读全文，以挑剔的眼光审视所做答案，看它们是否达到了在结构和内容上圆满还原短文的目的。
