答案解析:(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 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。
