问题 The Tories were the forerunners of______, which still bears the nickname today.
选项 A、the Labor Party
B、the Liberal Party
C、the Social Democratic Party
D、the Conservative Party
答案D
解析 考查英国概况。英国保守党员又称Tory(托利党员)。十七世纪的时候，不少爱尔兰人被英国人逼迫得走投无路，铤而走险做了强盗，英国人就叫他们tories——爱尔兰语toraidhe是“强盗、亡命之徒”的意思。1680年左右，英国政坛严重分裂，主张议会至上的辉格党(Whigs)把保皇党徒叫做Tories，就是说他们是匪帮。后来，思想保守的政客一律都叫做Torie了。十九世纪英国保守党(Conservative Party)成立，Tory自然成为党员的绰号，他们也不引以为忤。
