问题     German Chancellor Angela Merkel won over German voters in the Federal Election on Sept. 27. Can she now be won over by a French charm offensive【1】at repairing the relationship that was once at the heart of Europe? That’s the question being asked in Paris,【2】top government officials are【3】talking about their desire to rekindle closer ties【4】their neighbors across the Rhine.【5】the end of World War II the Franco-German relationship has been the motor of European integration, the【6】force behind the creation of the European Union and, more recently, the introduction of the euro. But the ardor has【7】in this decade, particularly under Merkel, who has regularly struggled to【8】her irritation with French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s grandstanding. Sarkozy,【9】, has often been impatient with what he【10】Merkel’s lack of resolve.
    The sometimes【11】personal rapport is a long way from the public shows of affection their predecessors staged, particularly Helmut Kohl and FranCois Mitterrand, who movingly held【12】in 1984 in a Verdun cemetery. There’s been tension on【13】, too. Charles Grant, director of the London-based think tank Centre for European Reform, points out that France and Germany have been【14】on issues from how best to reflate their economies during the economic【15】to the smartest strategies for dealing with Russia.

选项 A、towards
B、with
C、against
D、off
答案B
解析 空格所在的句子是…closer ties______their neighbors…，本句重点是掌握句中的ties意为“联系，关系”，能与tie搭配的介词只有with，表明德同与邻闰之间相互联系的关系，因此[B]为正确答案。[A]towards与[C] against都有明显的方向性，一般用来形容带有方向的动作或事物，用法举例：the attitude towards failure“对待失败的态度”；the fight against evil“同邪恶作斗争”。[D] off一般表示“离开，脱离”，与文中要表达的德国与邻国之间的相互关系正好相反，所以排除。
