答案解析:(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。
