选项 A、date
B、deter
C、hinder
D、delay
答案A
解析 此题属于语意搭配题。date作动词，表示“加日期于……，记日期”，例如：He datedthe arrival of each new bird．他记下每只新鸟到达的时间。原文前半句中出现advancethe agenda of…cooperation，后半句提及political problem and other economic priorities…对进程的影响，两句之间是转折关系，此处需一个与时间、日期有关的词，故选项[A]date(给受阻的进程加日期)，强调进程缓慢，符合题意。选项[B]deter表示“障碍，使人停止”，相当于prevent／discourse sb．from doing，如：High prices are deterring a lot ofnew couples from buying houses．选项[C]hinder表示“阻挠，妨碍”，相当于limit，如：Broken water pipes and gas leaks have hindered firefighters in their efforts．选项[D]de—lay表示“延迟”。全句可译为：虽然人们已经为促进西非国家经济共同体内的货币合作做出了努力，但是该地区几个国家的政治问题以及别的需要优先考虑的经济问题影响了已经受阻的一体化进程。
