【C20】
选项 A、revived
B、renewed
C、restored
D、refreshed,
答案A
解析 本题考核的知识点是：动词。看主语，看宾语，看搭配。revive=make or become conscious again(复活)；perform again(再度上演)。文中谈到货币一体化进程被搁置已久，经过1999年尼日利亚的选举及其领导人的承诺，该计划可能重新实施，故A选项revived正确。B选项renew=replace意为“重新，更换”，如：renew a lease(续订租约)；C选项restore意为“归还，复原”，如：restore borrowed books，restore confidence，be restored to health(恢复健康)；D选项refreshed意为“给予新力量”，如：refresh sb．with a glass of wine喝酒提神。全句可译为：虽然许多问题仍然存在，但是1999年尼日利亚的选举已经支持并巩固了最近的这次倡议。在这次选举中产生了一个民主政府，其领导人也承诺在该国——这一地区大的经济体——实行地区性一体化。这给人们带来了希望：这项长期搁置的计划可以重现生机了。
