Throughout American history, presidents 【C10】______ more than 2 500 congressional bills. Congress has been able to override the president’s veto 【C11】______ 104 times. Presidents in the late 1800s and early 1700s did not use the veto frequently.

选项
A、accept
B、block
C、promote
D、challenge
答案
B
解析
本题考理解。考生应能读懂本文的第二句是对第一句中“I will not permit”的解释。 permit意为“允许”,因此,可知本题词义为“阻止、阻挠”。进一步参照选择项,则可发现 A.accept意为“接受”,C.promote意为“促进、推进”,D.challenge意为“挑战”,B.block意为“阻挡、阻止”。只有B.block符合veto的含义,是本题正确答案。
