A war could break out any time between the two sides.‎ ‎      A. pollution B. friendship ‎      C. condition D. situation ‎      14. 选A。ins and outs 意为“细节”，dos and don’ts 意为“注意事项”，heads or tails ‎ 4‎ 为掷钱币打赌时用语，意为“你赌正面还是赌反面”，p’s and q’s主要用于 mind one’s p’s and q’s，意为“留意自己的言行”。结合句意，选A最合适。‎ ‎      15. 选C。从语法上看，news 不可选，因为它不可数;从意义上看，D不可选，因为选D意思不通;比较A和C，选C最合适，因为 start与下文的 a second 相吻合。 ‎ ‎ ‎ 4‎
