本段首句提到两个法官出现在政治活动中,但重点却在于for example一词,表示这是对上文的举例。很显然,这里说的就是法官采取政客行为,所以再次证明上段末第三题的分析。
第四题:这类行为使得法院的决定被认为是公正判断的可能性有所下降。此处的accepted as一词的最直接线索来自文末句“That would make their rulings more likely to be seen as separate from politics and, (by all means/at all costs/in a word/as a result), convincing as law.”中的be seen as一词,而本段本句中的less likely正好呼应了文末的more likely. 而本文第四段末句which is why decisions split along ideological lines are so easily 17(dismissed/released/ranked/distorted) as unjust也考察了同样内容be dismissed as unjust,只不过是其反义表达而已医.学.全在线www.med126.com。考生可以总结归纳类似表达:be regarded as, be considered as, be seen as, be viewed as等等,当然也包括反面的be dismissed as及其近义表达。
第五题的be bound by,即被绑定一个ethics code,虽然理解的情况下,不难解释,但很多考生问道:如何找到这个词的线索。其实本文到这里就不难理解,无非是法应该绑定ethics还是politics,绑定politics的容易受人怀疑,所以最好划清界限,绑定ethics。这样,我们就找到了其对应的部分:第三段末句“Our legal system was designed to set law apart from politics precisely because they are so closely (guarded/followed/studied/tied).”这个tied和本题的be bound by,应该算是激情四射的一对了。
看到第六题,我觉得上过我的课的学生如果没做出来,那不是你跳楼,是我想去跳楼了。请参考04年28题,选项都有三个一样的,回忆下我讲的这道题,以及最后一节课下课之前对你们说的话,你们懂的,我不解释!
第七题是一个主动和被动的词组的同义替换,上半句说到court使其自身subject to 那些code,后半句说那些 code被apply to 其他的联邦法官。其实也完全可以说court应该将其他的联邦法官所subject to的那些code apply to它自身。简单的说,法院、法官be subject to code,code be applied to 法院、法官,其实本文末段首句The justices must (suppressed/exploit/address/ignore) doubts about the court’s legitimacy by making themselves (accessible/amiable/agreeable/accountable) to the code of conduct.中的accountable to the code也是同一个考点。另外,值得一提的是医学.全.在线.网.站.提供,本题中出现了一个熟词僻义现象,conduct一般考生只能做动词解,在此处为名词,解释为behavior,即code of conduct解释为“行为准则”,呼应首段末句中的behave一词。
