Both the president and the vice-president trained as lawyers.【C2】______did 55% of senators and 100% of Supreme Court justices. There are【C3】______to having a bit of legal expertise among those who write and【C4】______the nation’s laws, or assess their constitutionality. But there is also a potential conflict of interest.【C5】______florists had such a lock on the levers of【C6】______, you might expect subsidies for weddings and a campaign to beautify cities. Lawyers, alas, are no more【C7】______.
    The American legal system is the most lawyer-friendly on Earth. It is dizzily【C8】______. The regulations that accompany the Dodd-Frank law governing Wall Street,【C9】______are already more than 3 million words long—and not yet half-written. Companies must hire【C10】______lawyers to guide them【C11】______a maze created by other lawyers. They must also hire lawyers to【C12】______themselves against attacks by other lawyers on a playing field【C13】______by lawyers.

Law students are【C19】______to find the lavishly paid work they expected after graduation. One big law firm even went bust. None of this is nice for the people【C20】______especially those with large student debts.
【C14】
选项 A、handed out
B、put away
C、turned over
D、passed on
答案D
解析 根据文意，企业聘请律师的支出最终将转移到消费者身上，因此应选具有“转移”语义的词或短语。C项turn over及D项pass on均有“移交”、“传递”之意，但C项turn over常指将“事物或权力转交给别人”，与文中的cost不符，故应选D项pass on。A项hand out指“分发，分配”和B项put away“拿走”不具有“转移”语义，可排除。
