Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Part A Text 1 21.

依然考查熟詞僻義。
考查熟詞僻義。“Shape a plan”， 作出計劃?！發(fā)iberty”和“property”同屬社會基本理念，而不是 theories (理論) 或divisions (分支)?！胺ㄖ葡到y(tǒng)旨在將政治與法律相分隔，因為它們彼此聯(lián)系太緊。
題13 選 C. cultivate. 上下文語義題。前后句明顯是因果關(guān)系，so 引導(dǎo)一個結(jié)果狀語從句。
題10選B. as。
C項“否決”和后面的 “question whether…” 構(gòu)不成搭配。這一句是承上啟下段。意義不符，直接排除。A項resort to：訴諸于，求助于。可見很多時候命題人不總以內(nèi)容為基礎(chǔ)來設(shè)置干擾選項，也提醒大家要重視對于歷年真題的復(fù)習(xí)。(使得某人容易遭受)”。
題 6 選B。上下文語義題。這段用兩個法官參與政治事件的例子說明他們的行為使得法院的裁決不偏不倚而被認(rèn)可變得不太可能?！?本題如果能把導(dǎo)向把握準(zhǔn)，即可定位在B和D兩項，D項eliminated 過于絕對，排除?！? 題3選擇 weakened。尤其是看到最后一段直接給出提議：希望法官和政治劃清界限從而保證自己的權(quán)威性，因此全文的導(dǎo)向和邏輯就非常清晰了。
和以往一樣，第一句話不設(shè)空，幫助同學(xué)們理解全文探討的話題： 美國高等法庭司法官的倫理道德問題。但是這些考查動詞的題目中，許多都考查對于熟詞僻義的掌握情況，往年就是08年出現(xiàn)了3處，今年也出現(xiàn)3處。 now 36% do. In 2020 the number of unionists in America’s public sector passed that of their fellow members in the private sector. In Britain, more than half of publicsector workers but only about 15% of privatesector ones are unionized. There are three reasons for the publicsector unions’ thriving. First, they can shut things down without suffering much in the way of consequences. Second, they are mostly bright and welleducated. A quarter of America’s publicsector workers have a university degree. Third, they now dominate leftofcentre politics. Some of their ties go back a long way. Britain’s Labor Party, as its name implies, has long been associated with trade unionism. Its current leader, Ed Miliband, owes his position to votes from publicsector unions. At the state level their influence can be even more fearsome. Mark Baldassare of the Public Policy Institute of California points out that much of the state’s budget is patrolled by unions. The teachers’ unions keep an eye on schools, the CCPOA on prisons and a variety of labor groups on health care. In many rich countries average wages in the state sector are higher than in the private one. But the real gains e in benefits and work practices. Politicians have repeatedly “backloaded” publicsector pay deals, keeping the pay increases modest but adding to holidays and especially pensions that are already generous. Reform has been vigorously opposed, perhaps most egregiously in education, where charter schools, academies and merit pay all faced drawnout battles. Even though there is plenty of evidence that the quality of the teachers is the most important variable, teachers’ unions have fought against getting rid of bad ones and promoting good ones. As the cost to everyone else has bee clearer, politicians have begun to clamp down. In Wisconsin the unions have rallied thousands of supporters against Scott Walker, the hardline Republican governor. But many within the public sector suffer under the current system, too. John Donahue at Harvard’s Kennedy School points out that the norms of culture in Western civil services suit those who want to stay put but is bad for high achievers. The only American publicsector workers who earn well above $250,000 a year are university sports coaches and the president of the United States. Bankers’ fat pay packets have attracted much criticism, but a publicsector system that does not reward high achievers may be a much bigger problem for America. 36.
