【C4】
选项 A、coordinate
B、draft
C、ordinate
D、compromise
答案A
解析 本题考核的知识点是：对应成分分析——and对应+词义辨析。reducing budget deficits to percent of the second phase by 2003在内容上应该和creating a Convergence Council to help macroeconomic policies；and up a common central bank具有相同的性质。A选项coordinate意为“使协调”，如：to coordinate ideas／efforts。本句的意思是，(各国承诺)建立一个联合委员会以帮助处理宏观经济政策，故A选项coordinate最符合题意。B选项draft意为“草拟”，如：to draft a speech；C选项ordinate是coordinate的近形词，但它是名词，意为“纵坐标”，不符合题意；D选项compromise意为“和解，妥协”，如：to compromise over就……达成协议，to compromise with conscience出卖良心。
