问题 In his recent speech, the chancellor warned against complacency to the strength of recovery at a time when Britain faced a "dangerous cocktail" of instability and threats.
选项 A、subordination
B、subjection
C、salvation
D、satisfaction
答案 D
解析    (1)句子结构。
   该句结构为In his recent speech，the chancellor(主语)warned against complacency to the strength of recovery(谓语)at a time(时间状语)when Britain faced a“dangerous cocktail”of instability and threats(when引导的从句，作time的定语)。
   (2)选项词义。
   A．subordination n．从属；附属；主从关系
   B．subjection n．隶属；服从；征服
   C．salvation n．得救；(基督教)救恩；救助
   D．satisfaction n．满足；欣慰；令人满意(或欣慰)的事
   本句中dangerous cocktail是一个比喻，比喻经济面临多重风险或是国家遭受金融危机。句子大意为“财政大臣在最近的讲话中警告道：现在英国经济不稳定，危机四伏，切勿认为国家经济复苏强劲而自得自满”。原题中的complacency意为“自满”“自鸣得意”，与选项中的satisfaction词义最为接近，因此选项D正确。
