(答案→)B. settle, will be
C. settle, be
D. will settle, be
解析：insist作坚决要求、一定要,其宾语从句常用与将来事实相反的虚拟语气,即should+动词原形,其中should可以省略。如:
Her father insists that she (should) learn music after she leaves school.
insist作反复说、一定要解时可以是及物动词,也可以是不及物动词。后跟陈述语气的从句。
第一空该用虚拟语气，第二空是陈述语气，表示将要解决，所以用将来时。句意：当中国坚决要求以和平的方式来解决岛屿争端，而日本政府继续坚持以暴力的手段来解决。根据句意故选B。
