细解析。和以往一样，第一句话不设空，帮助同学们理解全文探讨的话题：美国高等法庭司法官的伦理道德问题。1.【答案】B【解析】从空后信息可以看出，这句表达的是“__法官表现得像政治家〞的情况下，法庭就不能保持其作为法律法规的合法卫士的形象，所以应该选C,maintain“维持，保持〞，其他显然语义不通。2.【答案】A【解析】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B，when表示这个意思。【答案】B【解析】第二段给的具体事例说明，法官出现在政治活动中会使法官形象受损，影响他们独立、公正的名声。只有B，weaken能表示这个意思。【答案】D【解析】空前信息显示，法官出席政治活动会让法院的审判收到影响，人们就会认为其审判不公正，所以选D，beacceptedas...“被认为是〞。【答案】C【解析】空所在的语境为：产生这样的问题，局部原因在于“法官没有__道德标准〞。后一句话说，至少法院应该遵守行为标准，这显然是进一步说明上一句话。所以上一句是说法官没有受到道德标准的约束，选C，bound。【答案】B【解析】根据解析5可以看出，这里应该是说遵守行为标准，subject与to连用，表示“服从某物，受…支配〞。故此题选B。【答案】D【解析】分析句子结构可知，这里是由that引导的定语从句修饰说明前面的行为标准，是说法院也应当遵守适用于其他联邦司法部的行为标准。applyto“适用于〞符合题意。resortto“求助于〞;stickto“坚持(原那么等)〞语意不通。【答案】B【解析】空所在的语境为，类似这样的案例提出了这样一个问题：法院和政治之间是否还存在着界限。提出问题，产生问题用只能选raise。【答案】A【解析】根据第8题可知，空内应填line，“界限〞。barrier“障碍〞，similarity“相似性〞，conflict“冲突〞都不合题意。【答案】B【解析】根据句意，宪法的起草者们预想的是将司法从政治中分出来，让其享有独立的权力。envisionas“将…想象成…〞。所以选B。【答案】A【解析】此题考察逻辑搭配。本选项答案确实定需结合前句意思，制宪者旨在使法律不受政治的任何影响，这样一来，法官就可以免受掌权者的影响了。此空就是考察由此所带来的结果，应选[A]。【答案】C【解析】此题承接上题，可知法律不受政治的影响，从而法官也不用担忧掌权者(thoseinpower)。【答案】C【解析】此题承接上题,结合句意,可知该半句主要表达“法官也无需政治支持了。〞选项C最符题意。【答案】D【解析】此题考察词意辨析。原句表达“我们的法律体系是法律完全不受政治的影响，是因为这两者是紧密。。。〞。结合句意思，[D]最合题意.【答案】A【解析】此题考察词意辨析。文中说“宪法具有政治性，是因其的选择都是植根于诸如自由，财产之类的根本社会。。。中。〞自由，财产是西方社会的一些根本社会理念或概念，应选[A]。【答案】C【解析】此题考察词意辨析。首先分析该句，可知空白处添加上一动词可构成一定语从句，限定“thelaw〞。其次，文中语境表达“当法律处理社会政策决策问题时，。。。的法律不可防止的具有政治性。四个选项中，[C]为最正确答案。【答案】A【解析】此题考察词意辨析。可由文中语境得知，该半句主要表达“这也就解释了为何背离思想路线的决策被看作是不公正的，从而被轻易的….〞。结合语境，以及四个选项的意思，可知[A]最正确。【答案】C【解析】此题考察词意辨析。由文中语境可知该句主要表达“法官必须。。。有关法庭(裁决的)公正合理的质疑。〞四个选项中，仅[C]符合题意。【答案】D【解析】此题考察短语搭配及相似短语辨析。四个选项均可与连用，其中accessibleto易接近的;可归属的;可得到的可归因的amiableto可亲，多指人和蔼可亲，易于接近agreeableto欣然同意的;适合的，适宜的accountableto对…负责此题的理解需承接整个句,首先此空所在后半句乃一方式状语，承接前半句说明法官怎样来解决有关法庭(裁决的)公正合理的质疑。将此四个选项分别代入，可得出正确答案[D]，法官只有对对行为准那么负责，也即是遵循一定的行为准那么才可确保其裁决的公正与合理。【答案】D【解析】此题考察逻辑搭配。此句承接上句，旨在说明由此带来的结果，也即是文中所说的“。。。使得裁决看起来完全不受政治的影响，如法律一般令人信服。〞结合四个选项意思，可知选[D]。SectionⅡReadingComprehensionPartAText121.Accordingtothefirstparagraph,peerpressureoftenemergesas根据第一段，同龄人的压力通常以什么样的状态出现：[A]asupplementtothesocialcure对于社会治疗的补充[B]astimulustogroupdynamics对团队活力的刺激[C]anobstacletoschoolprogress学校进步的阻碍[D]acauseofundesirablebehaviors一些不良行为的原因解析：答案为D。细节题：选项：acauseofundesirable
