问题 The wave of strikes that has gripped France for a month showed some signs of abating yesterday as prison officers agreed to go back to work.
选项 A、ascending
B、retreating
C、diminishing
D、pacifying
答案 C
解析    (1)句子结构。
   本句结构为The wave of strikes(主语)that has gripped France for a month(that引导的定语从句)showed(谓语)some signs of abating yesterday(宾语)as prison officers agreed to go back to work(as引导的原因状语从句)。
   (2)本句中的修辞。
   ①the wave of strikes罢工浪潮(暗喻)，类似表达如下：
   e．g．A wave of immigrants is washing over Western Europe．
   移民潮正席卷西欧。
   a crime wave犯罪潮a wave of fear一阵恐惧
   ②(The wave of strikes)that has gripped France法国深受(罢工浪潮)所扰，grip为抓紧之意，在此是拟人用法，类似表达如下：
   e．g．Terrorism has gripped the country for the past two years．
   两年来恐怖主义一直笼罩着这个国家。
   (3)选项词义。
   A．ascend v.攀登，上升
   B．retreat v.使后退
   C．diminish v.使减少；使变小
   D．pacify v.使平静；使安静；安抚
   句子大意为“由于狱警同意重返工作岗位，困扰法国一个月的罢工浪潮昨日显示出一些缓和的迹象”。题干中的abating意为“减退”，与选项中的diminishing词义最为接近，因此选项C正确。
