_____2_____ justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that _____3_____ the courts reputation for being independent and impartial.

Justice Antonin Scalia, for example, appeared at political events. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the courts decisions will be _____4_____ as impartial judgments. Part of the

problem is that the justices are not _____5_____ by an ethics code. At the very least, the court

This and other similar cases _____8_____ the question of whether there is still a

The framers of the Constitution envisioned law _____10_____ having authority apart from

politics. They gave justices permanent positions _____11_____ they would be free to

_____12_____ those in power and have no need to _____13_____ political support. Our legal

system was designed to set law apart from politics precisely because they are so closely

_____14_____.

Constitutional law is political because it results from choices rooted in fundamental social

are so easily _____17_____ as unjust.

The justices must _____18_____ doubts about the courts legitimacy by making

[试题考点]语义关系+动词辨析

[难度等级]★

[解题思路]本题空格位于首段句②的主句部分，而第2题的空格则位于其从句部分。全句意

为“法官像政客一样立身行事，作为法治维护者，法院就不能其公正性”。做英语知识运用

题时，应首先浏览文章来把握文章主旨。文章开篇指出全文探讨的主题是联邦最高法院法官

的道德问题。浏览全文，尤其是最后一段可知，作者认为法官的裁决应与政治划清界限，这

样作出的裁决才能让人信服。也就是说，法官不能像政客一样立身行事，否则就会影响到法

院的公正形象。由此可判断，本题考查的是法官像政客一样立身行事时会出现的情形。观察

四个选项，只有选项B maintain“维持，保持”符合文意：如果法官像政客一样立身行事，

作为执法捍卫者，法院就不能维护其司法公正性。maintain意为to keep in an existing state(保

持现存状态)。

[干扰排除]众所周知，法院是法律的维护者，为公正无私的象征，法官的职责之一便是努力

维护这一形象。对于法官而言，去承认或认可(recognize)这一形象可谓无稽之谈，更不会去

修改(modify)这一形象，文中也未提及对法院公正性的强调(emphasize)，故选项A、C、D均

被排除。A项emphasize强调，例如，In this lecture, I want to emphasize two things.在这次的

讲座里，我想强调两件事。C项modify修改、改变，例如，I should probably modify my statement

though.不过，我或许应该修改一下自己的说法。D项recognize承认，认可，例如，He had the

insight to recognize their talents.他很有眼力，慧眼识英才。

[技巧点拨]对于此题要注意动词的使用，找到其中的合适搭配。如果结构一样，要注意其中

的意思。

2.A.when如果 B.lest唯恐；以免

C.before在„„之前 D.unless如果不；除非

[试题考点]逻辑关系+连词辨析

[难度等级]★★

[解题思路]由第1题的分析可知，本题空格处的连词应能正确表达主句“作为法治捍卫者的

法院不能维护其司法公正性”与从句“法官像政客一样立身行事”之间的逻辑关系，从语法

角度上讲四个选项都能填入空格处，但合乎逻辑的只有选项A when。when在此意为in the

event that(当某种条件出现时会产生某种状态)，表示一种条件关系，相当于if。从第三段可

以看出，文章认为法院和政治之间应该是有界限的。所以这里应该是当法官像政治家一样行

事，模糊了二者之间的区别时，就失去了其作为法律卫士的合法性。只有A，when表示这

个意思。

[干扰排除]其他三个选项从语法角度来看都符合要求，但在语意上却与原文大相径庭。lest

引导目的状语从句，代入原文意思为“作为法治捍卫者的法院不能维护其司法公正性，免得

法官像政客一样”。before引导时间状语从句，代入原文意思为“在法官像政客一样行事之

前，作为法治捍卫者的法院就不能维护其司法公正性”。unless引导条件状语从句，代入原

文意思为“除非法官像政客一样行事，否则法院就不能维持其作为法治捍卫者的公正性”，

换句话说“只有法官像政客一样行事，法院才能维持其公正性”，这与原文意思截然想法。

Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are. 1 the

fruit-fly experiments described in Carl Zimmer’s piece in the Science Times on Tuesday. Fruit

flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly 2 to live shorter lives. This suggests

that 3 bulbs burn longer, that there is an 4 in not being too terrifically bright.

Intelligence, it 5 , is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow 6

the starting line because it depends on learning—a 7 process—instead of instinct. Plenty of other

species are able to learn, and one of the things they've apparently learned is when to 8 .

Is there an adaptive value to 9 intelligence? That's the question behind this new research. I
