问题描述：纵观本次考试完型考题，难，那是相当的难！难在一点：读不懂！法律相关的文章已经多年未见，上次谋面应该是在考研01年改革去掉词汇那年，那年的考题也让很多考生叫苦不迭。再看本次考试完型考题，简单，那又是相当的简单！简单在于：最后成为答案的选项无一超过四级词汇要求！这一点也是让很多考生最为懊恼的。那些在迷茫时有着选择难词偏向型强迫症的同学，不知又作何感想。下面是本次考试完型真题、选项及参考答案，不妨我们来做一个简单的分析。The ethical judgments of the Supreme Court justices became an important issue recently. The court cannot 1(emphasize/maintain/modify/recognize) its legitimacy as guardian of the rule of law 2(when/lest/before/unless) justices behave like politicians. Yet, in several instances, justices acted in ways that 3(rendered/weakened/established/eliminated) the court’s reputation for being independent and impartial.段首句，秉承往年特色，没有出题，但依旧扮演了重要的角色。很多考生将issue一词理解为话题，所以使第一句话失去了原有的意义，故而也失去了做题重要的依据。Issue一词根据朗文字典解释，应为：a subject or problem that is often discussed or argued about, especially a social or political matter that affects the interests of a lot of people，故段首句应该理解为ethical judgments of the Supreme Courts justices变得倍受争议来得恰当得多。其实这句话主导了后文政对于法的公正性的影响。第一题的maintain … as …表示“维持其作为法律条文守护者的合法性”，本题没有做对的同学，请参考09年考题的第13题后自行面壁反省。第二题的when一词，虽然貌似是时间引导词，其实按照翻译来看，“当法官们采取像政客一样的行为方式时，法院就无法维持其作为法律条文守护者的合法性”，这个“当”扮演的是一个“if”的条件表达，而再放大一点，条件关系应当隶属于并列、转折和因果三大逻辑关系的因果体系，条件亦即原因表达。所以原文可以理解为：因为法官们采取像政客一样的行为方式时，所以法院无法维持其作为法律条文守护者的合法性。类似考点请参考99年44题where一词的考法。第三题前的acted in ways其实就是前文的behave，所以两句话之间形成转折对应关系。前句说到：法院无法维持其作为法律条文守护者的合法性，若法官们采取像政客一样的行为方式。紧接着一个“yet”“然而，在一些情况下，法官们的行为的确如此。”是正常的逻辑表达方式（此处也可参考下段首句的分析）。所以后半句的内容就应该是：acted in ways that使courts cannot maintain its legitimacy，也就是本文中所选的weakened the court’s reputation of being independent and impartial.Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito Jr., for example, appeared at political events. That kind of activity makes it less likely that the court’s decisions will be 4(challenged/compromised/suspected/accepted) as impartial judgments. Part of the problem is that the justices are not 5(advanced/caught/bound/founded) by an ethics code. At the very least, the court should make itself 6(resistant/subject/immune/prone) to the code of conduct that 7(resorts/sticks/l...
