问题 资料：Seeking to end a stalemate in negotiations over her country’s withdrawal from the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain offered Friday substantial payments to the bloc during a two-year transition period immediately after the country’s exit.　　Mrs. May’s long-awaited intervention, during a speech in Florence, Italy, was being watched closely in capitals on the Continent and in London, where members of her cabinet have been fiercely divided over Britain’s tortuous divorce from the bloc. The speech aimed to open the way to serious negotiations on what is commonly known as Brexit, and to a broader and more productive discussion about Britain’s relationship with the bloc.　　However, while offering some concessions designed to do that, Mrs. May did not give any fresh insight into the type of ties she ultimately wants Britain to have to the bloc-a question that divides her cabinet and her Conservative, or Tory, Party.　　The European Union’s chief negotiators, Michel Barnier, issued a cautious response, saying in a statement that, “We look forward to the United Kingdom’s negotiators explaining the concrete implications of Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech. Our ambition is to find a rapid agreement on the conditions of the United Kingdom’s orderly withdrawal, as well as on a possible transition period.”　　Although Britain is scheduled to exit the European Union in 2019, there has been little progress in talks since March, when London formally announced its intention to leave. Brussels is insisting that Britain agree to the terms of the divorce before discussing future trade ties, while the British would like to do both simultaneously.　　In light of the continuing standoff, many business worry about a “cliff edge” scenario, in which Britain would crash out without a deal, so Mrs. May is under pressure to find a way out of the impasses. Speaking in Florence on Friday, Mrs. May did not say precisely how much money Britain would continue to contribute to the European Union. But she made a significant promise that the British-who are big net contributors to the bloc-would not leave a hole in the union’s budget in 2019 and 2020.　　“I do not want our partners to fear that they will need to pay more or receive less over the remainder of the current budget plan as a result of our decision to leave.” Mrs. May said. That would probably mean payments of around 20 billion euros, or about $24 billion, after Britain’s departure. It would also effectively maintain the state quo for the duration of a two-year transition period, meaning that Britain would allow the free movement of European workers and accept rulings from the European Court of Justice. This alone is unlikely to be enough to satisfy the 27 other member nations, but Mrs. May hinted that she would be willing to go further and “honor commitments we have made during the period of our membership.”　　In addition, Mrs. May proposed a security partnership with the European Union, stressing Britain’s importance as a defense power, and also offered new legal safeguards to guarantee the rights of European Union citizens in Britain after Brexit.　　Over all, Mrs. May sought to stress the common interest London shares with continental European capitals in reaching an agreement and avoiding disruption to trade, wrapping her odder in dialogue that was more positive, and less antagonistic, than that of some previous interventions. 　　European Union negotiators have refused to talk about post-Brexit ties until they judge that there is “sufficient progress” on the issues they consider a priority. the states of European Union citizens in Britain after it leaves, the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland(which is a part of the United Kingdom)and Britain’s financial commitments to the bloc.　　There is little sign yet that the other 27 nations are prepared to grant Britain a bespoke agreement, and officials have warned London on numerous occasions that there would be no “cherry picking” of the parts of European Union membership it likes.　　There’s a stalemate between EU and BrA.The two sides have not reached an agreement on conditions of Britain’s orderly exit.B.Britain refuses to fill the financial bole of the EU.C.British People are divided on the issue of Brexit.D.EU does not want Britain to exit from it.

【主题句】
第一段Seeking to end a stalemate in negotiations over her country’s withdrawal from the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May of Britain offered Friday substantial payments to the bloc during a two-year transition period immediately after the country’s exit. 为了在英国退出欧盟的谈判中谋求结束僵局，英国首相特蕾莎?梅星期五表示在该国退出后的两年过渡期内向该集团提供大额支付。
第四段The European Union’s chief negotiators, Michel Barnier, issued a cautious response, saying in a statement that, “We look forward to the United Kingdom’s negotiators explaining the concrete implications of Prime Minister Theresa May’s speech. Our ambition is to find a rapid agreement on the conditions of the United Kingdom’s orderly withdrawal, as well as on a possible transition period.” 欧盟首席谈判代表米歇尔?巴尼耶发表了谨慎的回应，他在一份声明中表示“我们期待英国的谈判代表解释首相特蕾莎?梅的讲话的具体含义。我们的目标是迅速就英国有序撤退的条件以及可能的过渡期达成一致。”
第六段最后一句But she made a significant promise that the British-who are big net contributors to the bloc-would not leave a hole in the union’s budget in 2019 and 2020. 但是她做出了重大承诺，即英国人是集团中的大的净捐赠者，不会在2019和2020年欧盟开支中留下财务漏洞。
第二段Mrs. May’s long-awaited intervention, during a speech in Florence, Italy, was being watched closely in capitals on the Continent and in London, where members of her cabinet have been fiercely divided over Britain’s tortuous divorce from the bloc. 在意大利佛罗伦萨的一次演讲中，梅夫人期待已久的干预被欧洲大陆首都和伦敦密切关注着，而她的内阁成员正是在英国与该集团的曲折‘离婚’中产生严重分歧。
【解析】题目意为“英国脱欧后，欧盟和英国之间存在僵局，因为_____？”选项A意为“双方尚未就英国有序退出的条件达成协议”；选项B意为“英国拒绝填补欧盟的财务漏洞”；选项C意为“英国人在脱欧问题上存在分歧”；选项D意为“欧盟不希望英国退出”。根据主题句，双方陷入僵局主要是由于未对退出具体条件达成一致。选项B中，英国做出承诺将填补欧盟财务漏洞，故错误；由于脱欧问题，英国首相内阁分歧严重，未提及英国人民，选项C错误；文章中，未提及欧盟不希望英国退出，选项D错误；因此选项A与题意相符。
