问题 The troubled U. S. -Canada relationship might be fixed by______. [br]  
The relationship between the U. S. and Canada should be as placid as Lake Ontario on a calm summer day. The border is undefended. Their peoples seem like cousins. Each is the other’s largest single trading partner. Yet there has been serious friction between the two neighbors in recent years — friction that might now be eased by the surprise election of a new Canadian Prime Minister.
Call it a miracle, or simply an exercise in artful negotiation, but in brokering the historic talks between the United States and Cuba that ended a five-decade-long embargo, Pope Francis managed to accomplish something that had long eluded some of the world’s finest diplomats: resolving a seemingly intractable stalemate between two bitter Cold War rivals.

选项 A、The status of Cold War rivals.
B、Artful negotiation between the countries.
C、Pope Francis’s divine diplomacy.
D、Five-decade-long embargo.

答案 C

解析 原文指出美国与古巴历史性的对话是教皇Francis斡旋并促成的,堪称世界外交史上最成功的一笔。Cold War,冷战,是指1947年至1991年间,美国、苏联在争夺世界霸权的同时又尽力避免世界大战而采取的相互遏制政策,包括政治、经济、军事等方面的对抗和斗争。冷战在两个阵营中间进行,一是美国、北大西洋公约组织为主的资本主义阵营,一是苏联、华沙条约组织为主的社会主义阵营。古巴导弹事件是冷战期间的重要事件。
