One of the really startling things about today’s decision on the Affordable Care Act is that the whole broccoli issue. One might have thought it【B1】______the dignity of the Court, for the broccoli was not only raised in the various rulings and differences but tossed around, argued back and forth, and made【B2】______central to the whole thing. In his ruling, Chief Justice Roberts jumps right into what Justice Ginsburg calls " the broccoli horrible," meaning the mention of broccoli as the【B3】______consequence of unrestrained big government.【B4】______the idea that the Commerce Clause allows Congress to regulate a consumer’s【B5】______, he repeats what is by now the familiar mocking【B6】______of the right: What would stop a government that can make you buy health insurance from also making you buy healthy vegetables? That【B7】______the health-care market, too.【B8】______, we wouldn’t want to live in a country where they can make you eat broccoli!
Consider the chain of inferences the Court would have to accept to【B9】______that a vegetable-purchase decree was likely to have a(an) 【B10】______effect on the health-care costs borne by Americans. The Court would have to believe that【B11】______forced to buy vegetables would then eat them, would【B12】______the vegetables in a healthy way, and would not allow other factors to【B13】______the improved diet.
【B14】______, if you eat broccoli raw, steamed, or even deep-fried, it’s going to seem【B15】______, the kind of thing the government would have to force【B16】______your plate. But broccoli is a bad thing only when it is badly done. The truth is that broccoli should always be【B17】______roasted or pureed, in the French style, and if you tasted it, you would not just【B18】______but demand government-mandated broccoli. In fact, if you could force all the right-wing Justices to taste these dishes, they would never mention " the broccoli horrible" again. They’d【B19】______just move on to Brussels sprouts, though, legal argument being【B20】______it is.
【B10】
选项
A、interesting
B、substantial
C、important
D、attributable
答案
B
解析
本题考查形容词词义辨析。该句主要是讲西兰花法案对美国人的消费行为会产生实质性影响,因此选项[B]substantial“实质的,坚固的,可观的”符合文意,为正确答案。其他三个选项分别为:[A]interesting“有趣的”;[C]important“重要的”;[D]attributable“可归因于……的,由……引起的”。这三项均不符合文意,故排除。
