问题 Unlike the elected branches of the United Sates government where making personal connections with citizens is (i)________and almost (ii)________political efficacy, the United States Supreme Court continues to maintain that its members should communicate with the public almost exclusively through formal opinions and even then through ceremonial rituals that date back to the nineteenth century.
Blank (i)       Blank (ii)
A. frowned upon D. a requirement for
B. rampant      E. a.detriment to
C. disregarded  F. an irrelevance to
选项
答案B,D
解析 逻辑连接词是unlike，前后反义对应。后面说最高法院只通过正式的渠道与公众沟通(its members should communicate with the public almost exclusively through formal opinions)，也就是说不会通过personal(个人的)渠道与大众沟通，那么前面与之反义对应，就应该说美国政府的民选分支经常通过personal渠道与大众沟通。因此，前两空都填入表示“普遍的”意思的词，而且空格(ii)程度要比空格(i)更强。因此空格(i)选B项rampant(广泛的)，空格(ii)选D项a requirement for(必需品)。补充一下背景知识美国政府分为三大分支(branches)，即国会(Congress)、总统(President)与最高法院(Supreme Court)，分别对应立法、行政、司法三大权力。其中国会与总统是经由民选，所以题干中的elected branches指的就是民选分支，即总统与国会。而最高法院的九位大法官(Justices)是由总统直接任命，不经由民选。适当了解一下美国的政治与历史文化知识，对解题也是有一定帮助的。
